Chapter 1923: Chapter 1047: Xiangjiang_2

“So, does this mean there’s a growing trend of strange occurrences recently?”

The inheritance from the Duke of Sutherland Family is roughly fifty million British Pounds, not a small amount. However, once the majority of this wealth is settled as shares or assets, the liquid funds aren’t particularly extravagant, and there isn’t a private jet.

Even so, as one of the few remaining hereditary duke families, the family must still maintain its grandeur.

The old butler and two suited bodyguards were inherited along with the family’s wealth. Tao Yu needed some errand runners, so he did not refuse.

Additionally, for a family of such high status, there is more information regarding strange occurrences that ordinary people are completely unaware of.

While fifty million British Pounds doesn’t place one among the super-rich, having a hereditary duke still carries substantial weight in the network of relationships.

“Young Master Yu, you might be surprised by this information at first, but I have to tell you that these strange occurrences truly exist and have already caused many casualties. However, please don’t be overly worried; for now, the chances of encountering them are extremely low, and all countries are beginning to attempt control and containment of these strange events…”

Old John, the butler, spoke with impeccable precision, exuding an inherent elegance from head to toe.

Although he did not know how this illegitimate heir managed to inherit the title and wealth amid stiff competition, the fact was that this person was now his young master.

Moreover, despite his youth, the young master far exceeded his peers in handling people and matters. After a period of family discretion, the future still holds promise.

Fudge personally handled matters to curry favor with Tao Yu. The loyal old butler, inherited with the family, was responsible only to the family. Now that Tao Yu had inherited the title, he would be responsible to Tao Yu, showing no signs of arrogance due to age nor any behavior of a servant bullying his master.

“Oh? Then what is Great Britain’s corresponding organization? There should be some special institution, right?”

Tao Yu’s question made Old John pause before responding,

“For now, it is handled by the newly formed Military Intelligence Seven, which coordinates special Deceit Masters to handle related matters, adopting a bounty and mercenary format.”

Old John’s words made Tao Yu internally roll his eyes.

He saw Military Intelligence Seven as a mere decoration, primarily coordinating tasks with no real control over Deceit Master power, or perhaps their corresponding power was weak.

It could essentially be seen as outsourcing the business.

However, given the current rarity of strange events, this approach was sufficient.

“Can I hire a Ghost Tamer bodyguard?”

Tao Yu’s question avoided the two bodyguards not at all, one of whom, a burly blond man named George, took the initiative to engage in the conversation,

“I wouldn’t advise you to do that. Our company has tried recruiting Ghost Tamers, but most of them are eccentric and unruly. It seems that after mastering the eerie, their lifespans generally don’t last much longer. There are too many uncontrollable factors, including records of them harming employers. So we gave up after trying a few times.”

At this point, he paused before continuing,

“However, if you have some temporary related hires, you can tell me directly. I can relay the information to the company and potentially find a few more stable Deceit Master mercenaries, best hired and paid on a per-mission basis. They’re not suitable for personal protection, and it’s best if you don’t meet them face-to-face yourself…”

George seemed particularly solemn when he said this, having personally witnessed an uncooperative Deceit Master partnered with the parent company.

Moreover, should a Deceit Master wish to harm an employer, he admitted that he lacked the ability to protect against them.

“Alright, I’ll let you know when the need arises.”

Tao Yu put down his phone, seemingly having thought of something, and asked,

“By the way, if I hadn’t inherited it, who was the next most likely candidate? Is he very upset?”

“Uh, the most likely candidate was Mr. Joseph; however, he’s shown remarkable magnanimity and is currently employed in the film company under our umbrella.”

Old John explained briefly, perhaps worried that Tao Yu might hold some grudge against Joseph.

“Oh.”

Tao Yu merely nodded, refraining from further comment.

Indeed, quite magnanimous, except for the assassin carrying murderous intent towards him in the waiting lounge a bit further away, probably hired by him…

Having just re-entered the Muggle World, Tao Yu’s current entanglements with the outside world are nearly exclusively tied to the title and wealth he inherited, hence the arising troubles.

He was just an ordinary person with no special abilities, but Tao Yu previously investigated on the dark web; the Mainland Hotel’s business is global, likely offering a bounty through this venue.

Fortunately, the two bodyguards by his side were capable, constantly swapping to maintain high alert and cooperating in harmony.

No one can remain constantly vigilant, not even professional bodyguards, but the George brothers could seamlessly complete these rotations, denying the hidden assassin any chance.

“It’s almost time to board. I’m going to the restroom.”

Seeing the time, Tao Yu stood up, with his bodyguards dutifully following behind.

“There’s no need to follow me for this; we’re at an airport.”

As he spoke to his bodyguards, the skinny man covertly watching Tao Yu stood up ahead of him, heading toward the restroom before him.
