Merlin's subordinate understood very well the severity of the matter.

The United States was a country with clear enforcement powers and restrictions. If the police tracked and investigated a public figure at will without their superior's permission, it would cause negative public opinion once exposed. However, he was Merlin's trusted subordinate. Thus, he obeyed Merlin and dared not delay his task. He immediately said, "I'll look into it now, sir!"

Merlin reminded, "Remember to keep it a secret. An unexpected discovery can affect the case's conclusion!"

The subordinate nodded. "Don't worry, sir. I've been working for you for so many years. Don't you know how I do things?"
