The Commission Postponed

"Mr. Fool, I found two more pages of diary as well." Abner looked toward Klein at the head of the Bronze Long Table and spoke respectfully.

The Tower has taken out more diary pages? He really has an astonishing number of channels and is incredibly well-informed... Could it be that Hero Detective is truly only his public identity?

Through the name "Abner" revealed during that "live broadcast" that night, the true strength of Hero Detective that Daly had told him about, and the considerable overlap between some of the matters "The Tower" had commissioned previously and Hero Detective's movements,

Klein had already made a preliminary judgment that Mr. "The Tower" was the famous detective who had recently been making waves in Backlund.

This was not the result of deliberate investigation. It was simply a conclusion he had naturally deduced from information he had happened to obtain.

However, Klein did not believe that "The Tower" had only the identity of a famous detective. There was definitely a powerful organization hidden behind him. Moreover, judging from Daly's attitude toward him, that organization was most likely also an official one.

As his thoughts raced, Klein "teleported" the diary pages materialized by "Justice" and "The Tower" to his side. He temporarily pressed them down instead of rushing to read them, then turned his head toward "The Tower" and asked calmly:

"What payment do you need? Or do you want to accumulate 'contributions' first, as you did last time?"

Goddess, bless me. Hopefully, it isn't something particularly troublesome. Otherwise, it can only mean that Mr. Fool thinks your contribution is insufficient and wants you to accumulate more first... But judging from what happened before, Mr. "The Tower" is fairly measured. Although he clearly bears traces of probing...

Klein silently prayed to the Goddess for good
