Facing two dark gun muzzles, the second robber put down his handgun and knelt on the ground with his hands on his head.

Risking life was out of the question; the mere pointing of a gun by Veronica caused over twenty followers of the Goddess of Death to cower, not to mention train robbers whose motive was purely financial.

Just a prison sentence, after all.

They could always resume their old tricks after release.

Was it worth risking their lives?

Life comes but once!

Wayne rushed forward, pressing the robber’s head against the ground repeatedly with loud thumps, leaving the second robber stupefied.

What are you doing, big brother?

I have human rights too, what about the spirit of international humanitarianism we agreed upon?

Hefei couldn’t help but crack a smile as she stepped forward to help Wayne out.

She stomped on the head of the second robber with a snap, sparing him from further abuse.

She could tell that Wayne was trying to knock the robber out, but lacking experience, all his attempts had failed.

“Why not use your gun, just hit him a few times in the back of the head.”

“Fake gun.”

Wayne shook the toy gun in his hand, a wooden model coated with black paint, and the muzzle wrapped with a layer of metal to ensure that anyone pressed with it against the nape of their neck would feel the chill of death.

Hefei paused for a moment: “So you couldn’t shoot from the start?”

“Mhm, just acting.

As long as I could make the robbers release the hostages, my mission was completed,” Wayne waved his hand modestly, downplaying his intelligence which was only highlighted by the robbers’, the key player was Hefei, and he hadn’t exerted much effort.

He did have two real guns, but it was impossible for him to carry them around.

The toy gun, which he made a few days ago, was for sneak attacks from behind, not of much use face-to-face.

Unless it was nighttime.

“Wayne, I’m beginning to appreciate you more and more…”

Hefei expressed her sincere admiration.

When Wayne pointed the gun at her, she truly thought her daughter had made a blind choice.

Through the deliberate mentions of ‘moving the gun away’ and ‘innocent hostages’ by Wayne, she realized his plan and went along with the act.

Coming up with the best strategy in such a short time and ensuring the safety of the hostages, while successfully subduing the robbers, was enough to prove Wayne’s meticulous thinking and excellent action skills.

His acting was just too good, not at all like a performance, hmm…

like her good-for-nothing husband.

Hefei also understood why her daughter had taken a liking to Wayne.

Gold always shines wherever it is, and capable boys will always attract the opposite sex.

If you bloom, butterflies will come on their own!

Of course, she didn’t rule out that her excellent daughter had attracted Wayne, and the two shared mutual affection, quickly falling in love.

Hefei’s appreciation was from the perspective of an elder toward a younger one, but Wayne didn’t know and misunderstood more the longer he listened, figuring the rich woman was showing interest, and the next step would be to whip out a sugar-mommy contract.

Poor him, he couldn’t resist temptation and was easily seduced.

If he really did sign a sugar-mommy contract and turned into a cheating scumbag, how could he explain himself to the three other commitments?

Wayne looked conflicted, causing Hefei to misunderstand something again.

She said with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll deal with the remaining robbers.

When I get back, you need to make it clear which piece of clothing I’m missing.”

After saying that, Hefei, holding the gun, pushed open the dining car door with an elegant gait, making Wayne wonder if she really was a spy.

A spy sent by Frank to the Windsor Kingdom, a renowned fashion designer, able to quickly integrate into the upper echelons, meet the elite, and send back a continuous stream of intelligence to Frank.

“No, that’s not right, she’s too conspicuous to be an external spy.”

Wayne mumbled, rather than being Frank’s spy, it would be more accurate to say she was a spy from Windsor sent to infiltrate Frank, now returning to her homeland to find an honest man to take over.

That honest man turned out to be none other than myself!

At 11 a.m., the luxury train arrived at Enrold Station, where station officers dragged away the five black-clothed robbers, including Little Mustache who had intentionally bumped into Wayne on the train.

Wayne and Hefei were invited into the station office, having knocked down five armed robbers and saving a whole train’s worth of wealthy individuals.

Because their skills were exceptionally incredible, they had to face police questioning.

In the office.

Hefei sat with her legs crossed and hands on her knees, her posture upright and graceful.

She remained poised at all times, with self-discipline becoming a habit.

In terms of both appearance and temperament, she ranked at the top among all the women Wayne had encountered.

Veronica also had good manners, but she still had a childish side, especially when Vili played pranks, and the young mistress just couldn’t help getting into a scuffle with her.

The young mistress took care of the fighting, Vili took care of the chaos, with a clear division of labor.

“Wayne, what do you do for a living?”

“I own a detective agency.”

“Sounds like you’re a successful individual.”

“It’s decent.

An assistant, a clerk, a cat, and a dog.”

In the office, while the police were busy with the robbers, Wayne idly chatted up Hefei, feeling bored.

He could sense Hefei’s intense curiosity, constantly probing and inquiring about his personal life.

Done for, definitely spotted by the rich woman!

“Do you have a girlfriend?” Hefei got to the point, asking the question she cared about the most.

Wayne wanted to say that he was a single man on his knees, in need of a big sister’s care, he’d take it even for free.

But respecting his heart, he said, “I do have a girlfriend.

She likes me a lot, and I love her deeply.

We’ve vowed never to betray each other.”

As he spoke, Wayne’s heart was bleeding.

He never imagined he would have to turn down such a mature and elegant lady.

And rich at that!

Slyphy nodded in satisfaction and sighed, “Such enviable love…”

Slyphy seemed to be reminded of something, and she fell silent, thinking of her good-for-nothing husband.

Wayne knew that if he asked her now, she would certainly take the opportunity to recount her own scarring history of love, then weep gently, seeking a cry absorber, and take refuge on his broad shoulders.

Ha, don’t even think about tricking me—I’m just not asking!

Without responding to him, Slyphy also didn’t feel the desire to share.

After a while, she got straight to the point, “What is my brand missing?”

Wayne hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, “Lady, this piece of clothing hasn’t been invented yet.

It’s my fanciful idea.

Once I invent it, I will definitely tell you first.

Don’t ask about the others.

I’m afraid you’ll steal my idea.”

“Is it very profitable?”

“Mm, I’m counting on it to support my wife for the second half of my life.”

“Sounds good, I wish you happiness.”

Slyphy smiled with deep implication.

She had assessed that this kid was not bad—smart, cautious, and with a knack for action.

He was just a bit naive and needed some guidance from his elders.

Besides, Wayne seemed to have no understanding of the true nature of this world.

Ordinary people and mages come from two different worlds, and without a common language, it is hard for them to come together.

Even if they manage to join hands, they will likely end up in disharmony over one thing or another, leading to marital breakdowns.

Thinking of herself and her worthless husband, Slyphy decided to help Wayne by teaching him magic, so that her own tragedy wouldn’t repeat itself with Veronica.

This time she returned to Lundan to take on the important position of Regional High Priest, and she was missing an administrative assistant—it was also time to take on a disciple.

Whether or not the person had talent didn’t matter.

The key was trustworthiness!

A moment later, two officers entered, first expressing their apologies and gratitude.

After glancing at the ID cards of Wayne and Slyphy and asking a few simple questions, they awkwardly expressed regret, saying that the robbery involved too many wealthy people, and Lundan had decided to set up a special task force.

In other words, Slyphy and Wayne had to change their plans and take the next train back to Lundan.

“Can it wait a bit? freёweɓnovel.com

I’ve got some important things to deal with,” Wayne said, frowning.

The two officers shrugged, indicating regrettably that they couldn’t help.

“Damn it, just because I’m a nice guy, do I have to be easy to talk to?” Wayne complained.

If that was the case, he would stop being the nice guy.

“Wayne, remember you owe me a favor.

I will come to you for payback when I have the chance,” Slyphy said.

Using the office phone, Slyphy made a call, and five minutes later, the station chief came in person to apologize.

Due to the negligence of the officers, they had delayed the precious time of the two distinguished guests.

Now it was fine; Wayne and Slyphy could leave whenever they wanted.

Wayne looked at Slyphy in surprise.

This wasn’t a matter of money, this was power.

The wealthy lady was far more influential than he had imagined, and her identity was not as simple as just a spy.

Damn, why did I just refuse!

…

Outside the station office, the servants and butlers who had been waiting for a while swarmed around.

They were instructed by their wealthy masters to stay behind and express their gratitude.

Money was irrelevant; what mattered was life.

Heaven knows what those crazed robbers could have done.

Moreover, many of the wealthy people didn’t travel with their own wives.

They had secretaries, mistresses, and most often, they traveled with someone else’s wife.

If things blew up, a second wave of societal death would be more than they could bear.

To express their gratitude, the servants and butlers presented the business cards of their masters.

This group of people lived in the affluent Inner Lundan Central District—a very privileged social network.

Wayne accepted the business cards, then felt around in his pocket.

That was too bad; he had no business cards to take the opportunity to promote his detective business.

Slyphy, on the other hand, wrote down her phone number on the back of the business cards as an exchange.

She could see Wayne’s predicament and laughingly said that Wayne was an outstanding detective.

If the wealthy ever encountered troubles, they could contact Wayne through this number.

Wayne: “…”

Great, the rich lady hasn’t given up, and she’s starting to tie me into her social circle!

————-

After the two left, the station chief and the two officers had a little chat to confirm the identities of Slyphy and Wayne, then they called Lundan to report.

Soon after, a call went out from Lundan Metropolitan Police Headquarters.

“Mister Lando, do you know Slyphy Lando?”

“She did injure some people, but it was in the act of bravery.

She injured five armed robbers who held up the train.

It was just a bit too heavy-handed.”

“Yes, she’s in Windsor, and the train left Lundan last night…”

“According to the station officers in Enrold Town, there was also a man traveling with her.

Together, they subdued the robbers.”

“His name is Wayne…

Yes, Wayne…

I’m very certain, it’s Wayne.”

“Eh, how do you know that Mister Wayne is a detective?”

“According to the train staff, their relationship is very close.

They had breakfast together early on and then went to the sightseeing carriage together…”

“Right, they left the station together.

Lady Slyphy didn’t want to go back to Lundan and left with Wayne in the same car.”

“No trouble at all, it’s my honor to be of service to you.”

“It’s my duty, but if you insist, I will go to the finance room to get the money.

Okay, thank you for your generosity.”
