Nia was always at odds with her, but slowly, her eyes turned curious as she looked at Renault: "But you are quite interesting. People who talk to me usually get angry and leave."

Renault nodded greatly: "That's true. When one person makes a right statement and the other person has evil thoughts, their conversation will inevitably be like this."

"I'm just being candid."

"Isn't it difficult to get along with someone who is too frank?"

"Um."

"Kepin, right? You should understand."

When asked, Kai Ping cleared his throat: "This is also the benefit of sir."

"You guys are really weird." Renault laughed without hesitation.

Scholars and magic technicians were not the types that Renault liked, and he found it difficult to get in touch with them. But these two people, who seemed more clumsy than he expected, somehow made him happy.

"Hurry up and eat. I want to continue talking about work." So, they finally had the motivation to complete this task. Before finishing their meal, they began a discussion of the commission in the drawing room.

This commission is very simple. The content is to accompany the investigation of an insect-shaped monster called "Mountain Spider" spread from the East. This creature lives in the mountains and is shaped like a needle.

They move in groups, but rarely attack humans, and are relatively docile monsters. So this raises some questions.

"Do you need an escort?" Renault asked after listening. Since the "Mountain Spider"'s habitat is close to the valley near the royal capital, the frequency of dangerous monsters appearing is almost zero. So it's a legitimate question.

"I said there is no need for an escort." Nia replied, looking at Kaiping sitting next to him.

"This is just in case. If something happens to you, sir, you may not be able to rescue him in time." Kaiping said, gently adjusting his glasses with his right index finger, "And this time I have a companion."

"Companion?" Renault asked, responding to Kepin.

"Recently, a noble has become interested in Sir's research." Upon hearing the word noble, Renault showed an obviously unhappy expression.

"You're so lucky. It's Mr. so-and-so, right?"

"It's Lord Latias Silva, sir." Kaipin answered Nia immediately.

"He is mainly responsible for construction-related matters in the royal capital."

"Why is that guy interested in the Magic Research Institute?"

"Because he is also a famous magic weapon collector, he seemed interested from the beginning."

Renault frowned and crossed his arms: "I really don't understand what the noble is thinking."

"Reno, do you hate nobles?" Nia asked, and Reno shook his head.

"I don't hate him, I'm just not good at getting along with him." Reno recalled the past and said with a wry smile.

"A nobleman bought my magic weapon before, but the quantity was too much, so it became a payment method later."

"The so-called credit transaction." Kaiping nodded.

"I did several transactions with that man. As a novice businessman at the time, I was too naive. Later he never paid, so I pushed him. Guess what he said?"

"What did he say?"

"He said this was purchased for the benefit of the country, so as businessmen you must serve the nobles." Renault smiled dryly, and the two of them also smiled bitterly.

This is a common story, nobles feel that serving the common nobles is the natural way of thinking. Although this kind of thinking gradually decreased with the changes of the times, many nobles still held this concept.

"Then what did you do?"

"I got everything back."

"Take it back?"

"Yes, everything in the literal sense. The actions of looking down on a small businessman brought him misfortune. As a businessman, he knows many methods. I used various methods to turn that guy from a noble to a commoner."

Renault laughed, as if to say that this was it. The opponent is a noble, an opponent that an ordinary businessman should be unable to deal with. However, this young man named Renault boasted that he had done it.

If this was true, Kaiping thought it would be best not to offend him.

Nia, still watching with curiosity, said happily: "This investigation looks like it will be interesting if I am with you." He was like an innocent child.

However, Renault's eyes did not stay on Nia, but on Keping standing next to him, this man was hiding something.

Renault recalled the mission of the Adventurer's Guild, and Nia was not lying when she said, "I said I didn't need it." As a businessman, Renault can tell the extent of the other person's lies from his expression.

What's more, why would Nia, who was like a child, lie on that occasion? Renault couldn't figure it out. If this is the case, then the proposal of the conditions should depend on the judgment of the man named Kaiping.

The mission itself should be fine for a B- or C-level adventurer, and after talking to the guild leader.

Does this make sense? Renault thought of Leonardo's words "The King's Favorite". And predictably Keping is very worried about this.

With all this in mind, Renault remains unsatisfied with this reasoning. Based on the information currently available, a clear answer seems to be elusive.

The mystery is still unsolved, and Renault decides to follow the two. When Nia and the others were ready, the three of them went to a noble named Latias for the agreed meeting.

Latias was furious. Although I heard that the other party was not punctual and agreed to set off before noon, it was already past noon and had not yet arrived.

"He hasn't come yet!" Latias vented his anger to the private soldiers around him.

The private soldier replied: "I think they will be here soon."

"You keep saying the same thing!"

"terribly sorry!"

Latias wanted to say something else, but it was obviously just a pointless vent, so he sighed. Latias was very particular about time and had prepared himself early, standing in front of his mansion and waiting.

As a nobleman, he was actually waiting outside, and he was waiting for a child. When the anger was almost at its peak, they finally arrived.

"Hey, I'm very sorry for keeping you waiting for so long." Nia waved, not looking guilty at all.

If he wasn't the king's favorite, Latias wanted to hit him, but Latias smiled: "Oh, it's just that I was looking forward to it so much, so I prepared it in advance. Don't take it to heart, Nia."

"Really? Then let's go quickly!"

Latias couldn't help but want to punch. At this moment, Reno next to him hit Nia on the head: "You should apologize. Even children have forgivable and unforgivable things."

Nia held her head and said, "I'm sorry." Then apologized honestly. But Kaiping turned pale and grabbed Renault's collar: "How dare you hit Mr., a guy with a head like a genius and a national treasure! Are you embarrassed to do this? I'm going to kill you!"

Renault was a little surprised by Kaiping's change, but he still looked back. Latias watched the exchange between the three of them with great surprise.
