Mag recognized his face. He nodded and let him in, then closed the door again. The man was the owner of the private detective agency that Mag had been to the other day. Mag had hired him to investigate Krassu and Urien. His name, Sherlock, was the reason why Mag had chosen him. Mag never thought to see him so soon.
“These are the files you wanted. I don’t know what you’re planning to do, but I advise you not to mess with them,” Sherlock said, pulling a paper bag out of his clothes and handing it to Mag. He took a glance at Yabemiya and Amy, and lowered his voice. “Krassu’s file wasn’t very hard to get. It’s very detailed, and worth every coin. But I’ve only found a little about the other magic caster. Last night, I sneaked into his shop, and he burnt my hair. He is very powerful.”
Mag glanced at his burnt hair showing under his hat. The last time he saw him, he had had long curly hair, a mustache, and a wild smile, and now he was very cautious and a little pale. He must have had a rough night.
Mag nodded. “Thank you.” The bag was pretty heavy, so now he should be able to decide who was more suitable to become Amy’s master. Sherlock had done a pretty good job.
The detective nodded. “I’ll take my leave, then.” Apparently, he didn’t want to stay. Then he saw Amy, who was eating roujiamo, and paused for a moment.
“Do you serve breakfast yet, Mag?” asked Sherlock.
Sherlock nodded. “I see. Guess I have to come back again sometime. Bye.” He took another look at the roujiamo in Amy’s hand and left.
Mag locked the door and seated himself on a chair by the door. He pulled the files out of the bag and started reading fast. He furrowed his brow, but his frown soon disappeared, replaced by a hesitant look.
Krassu’s file was indeed very detailed, including his life from when he was young to the day he arrived at Chaos City. Sherlock even knew where the old man was living right now.
Urien’s file was much thinner. The file said that he was a very mysterious magic caster who had run his magic potion shop on the Aden Square for almost 10 years. His business was neither good nor bad. He sold various low-tier magic potions, and could provide them in large quantities, so many adventurer groups were his customers. He always kept a low profile.

Amy’s cheerful voice interrupted his thinking. “Father, this savory tofu pudding is very tasty!” Mag put the files into the bag again. He walked over to Amy. She had already finished the roujiamo and a bowl of tofu pudding. She looked up at him, eyebrows like crescent moons from smiling.
“Do you like the savory one the most?” Mag asked with a smile, wiping the corner of her mouth clean.
Mag nodded. “Okay. Try it.” His little girl was a hopeless foodie, but there was nothing he could do, because she was so cute even when she asked for food! Mag pushed the bowl in front of her slowly.
Amy spooned some sweet tofu pudding into her mouth. Her big blue eyes closed. The tofu pudding covered by syrup melted immediately, sweetness spreading in her mouth.
Both Mag and Yabemiya were gazing at Amy, expectant. Amy’s judgment was very crucial.
