Supremacy Games

1414 Reaching The Finals.

"The Fallen Cartel is selling those specters to their trusted sources as they can be used for the lowest jobs or the highest without worrying about the payment." Miss Sanae added, "My investigations have led me to believe that the Fallen Cartel must be sponsored and protected by one of the higher-ups due to their operations being almost nonexistent."

"It must be Karra's previous master, he is a known noble." Felix anwsered with a serious tone, "She can't give him up, but we can find out about his identity through other means."

"Most nobles in the city have high governmental positions." Miss Sanae frowned, "If someone in the government had his hands on this, then it's going to get a lot more complicated."

There was no need to ask why as all of them understood that governmental spirits were considered untouchable by the rest of the spirits.

Even Miss Sanae as a gold spirit and a recognized/

supported detective by the government, would find it extremely challenging to investigate a governmental spirit.

The highest position her authority could help her were the companies leaders in the city...Even they would be too tough to bring down to justice.

"I will do my thing and investigate the noble's identity." Miss Sanae said, "You should focus on your tournament for now as the moment you finish, you will be given cases to handle."

"Alright." Felix agreed.

It was clear that the fallen specters' case was one of the biggest ones for Miss Sanae and treated it with great care.

There was no way she would let Felix, a completely untrusted rookie help her out in it before testing him with a much simpler and smaller case first.

Felix didn't mind at all as he also knew that he had to get accustomed to the laws and such before assisting her with the real deal.

"I need your help with the tournament." Felix switched the subject with a request. "I need the three years payment in advance, plus a loan, and your servant's help."

"You want to invest everything in improving your spiritual prowess...Are you sure it's worth it?" Miss Sanae advised, "Boosting your spiritual prowess by that much is useless, considering that you will be winning barely fifty thousand Lumus as the champion. Even if you made it to the heavenly plane's tournament, you will be forced to invest even more as the fighters there are on a whole different level. Why do you think our city hasn't brought the trophy back home even after such a long time? We might be considered the capital, but there are cities where fighters spend most of their time hunting beasts and exploring the realm's dangers, unlike our fighters."

"I am confident in my ability, will you help me or not?" Felix replied calmly.

While it might seem like Felix was gambling his Lumus on something uncertain, the tournaments were merely a side quest in his eyes.

A side-quest to earn money and recuperate what was invested in his spiritual prowess.

In reality, Felix wanted to improve his soul's strength to an ungodly level, so that when he returned to the living world, his biggest weakness would turn into his biggest strength.
