Swordmaster's Youngest Son

Chapter 123: The Jet Who Rolled In Is Kinda Useful (2)

“Wait, but how did you know that my guys were looking into Alu?”

“I would know since the Seven-Colored Peacock agents came to ask me, Sir Kashimir. It seems that I was categorized as an affiliate of Tesing.”

“Hmm, Sir Kashimir. What do you think? I don’t think it’s a bad idea to take Jet under your wing as an official agent.”

“If you say so, then I will accept him. Well, he does seem to be a talented fellow since he deciphered our code by himself. Someone bring me the form.”

A servant ran out the door and returned with a packet that contained the thick 50-page entrance form. Around ninety percent of its contents were terms and conditions at the event of an information leak.

Jet signed without giving a glance at the thick paragraphs.

“I will make sure to meticulously read the terms and conditions at a later time, Master!”

“An agent does not call me ‘Master’. From now on, call me ‘Sir’ or ‘Mister Kashimir’, Jet. And after your training, you will be deployed in the Third Intelligence Team.”

“Yay! This man will volunteer his life for Sir Kashimir, the Seven-Colored Peacock, and the Young Master!”

For the first time in his life, Jet got an official, professional job.

A great achievement. Although he successfully got recruited with Jin’s special recommendation, becoming an agent of the best intelligence agency in the world was harder than joining the Vermont Special Forces.

“Let’s leave the new recruit training for a later time. First, give the information regarding Young Master Jin’s request on Spiderhand Alu’s past. If it’s nothing groundbreaking, then your application will be revoked.”

Jet began to start talking about Alu while rubbing his two hands together.

Spiderhand Alu.

He was born in the Delki Kingdom, part of the Huphester Alliance. In his early years, he passed the Runcandel guardian cadet exam.

Back then, he was known as Tagan Marius.

That was Spiderhand Alu’s true identity before it got wiped off the face of the planet.

—Alu is an extremely dangerous individual. Rumours say that he even has connections with pureblood Runcandels beyond the sea. About the underground auction house…

Jet told the Young Master this when they first visited the underground auction house.

Jet’s suspicion of Alu’s ties with the Runcandels as well as its alleged high probability were based on Alu’s past experiences.

Only those at the top of the Tesing Clan and some underlings knew of this information. They were the select few who had a spot at Alu’s drinking table.

The Seven-Colored Peacock couldn’t figure out the Spiderhand’s true name and birthplace, which Jet knew about.

After the fall of the Tesing Clan, all of the surviving higher-ups of the clan either died or were being tortured in the hands of the Zipfels.

Apart from being tricked by the Beradin impersonator, they were trading ancient magic tomes and artifacts under the Zipfels’ nose, which angered the clan of magicians the most.

Excluding Jet, there was basically no one left who was affiliated with the dark organization known as Tesing. Thus, a challenging investigation was imminent for the Seven-Colored Peacock.
