Lord Of Succubi:Transmigrated As A Dual Cultivator In Isekai Of Magic

Chapter 410 Chapter 410 Invisible Threats

Due to a lack of evidence or clues, he had a hard time solving this fresh case and his access to the resources were limited. Moreover, he cannot risk further hacking into files of the locked resources, not violating the rule. If he gets caught conducting such unauthorized operations, they will revoke his agent license and the government will terminate their contract with him.

Due to his limited access to the authorization of the top secret files from the government, he couldn't find out what was hidden in those top secret files. They surely would have been carrying important information, but there were way too many risks in retrieving them.

Martin was known to be a political astute. His skills were professional, and he never missed an opportunity to get his way and use them to his advantage. His grasp on the cases and the significant infiltration was too strong, even the government praised him for his work.

However, this case had baffled him since it lacked evidence and without enough clues to carry on, it would soon become a reason for utter pressure on his head by his higher authorities. After studying the case carefully for hours, he came to a conclusion of a conspiracy behind the assassination. The case was strong, and it hooked him for nights. It wasn't the first time he had dealt with such cases. As far as he knew, such cases of murders were wide ranging. They had multiple conclusions to come up with. This gave Martin a deep worry because whoever had caught in the maelstrom of conspiracy cases, they never ended well. Suddenly, his thoughts wandered to the death of charlie. Clueless and conspired with the case.

Martin rubbed his face with his palm, consummating all the open ways in his case. With a shortage of resources and lack of authorization in the task, he was helpless, and this thought had kept him anxious because one spot on his clean history would ruin his reputation in the Claska town. He calmed down as his anxiety began to rise and his deep thoughts took him to one open way that might work for him.

"Come in," he permitted the request and Tom entered his office.

'Martin, you wanted to see me? Is everything okay?" Tom showed concern for his boss. He observed the dark circle around Martin's eyes and assumed he had been working overnight on an important case.

Martin nodded his head and gestured to Tom to grab the nearest chair to sit. Tom sat on the chair and leaned on the table to look into Martin's eyes.

"When did you sleep last time?" He asked.

"Last night, for two hours." Martin's response caught him off guard.

"Seriously? You are exhausting yourself." Tom's remarks seemed childish to Martin.

"I am confused and clueless in this case. I need your help, Tom." Martin requested from Tom for his help.

Tom remained silent for a brief minute and responded in an uncanny tone, "That's why you called me at this hour?" He seemed unhappy.

"Yes! If it wasn't important, I wouldn't have called you." Martin cleared Tom's doubt before he could refuse the proposal.

Tom was doubtful and wanted to leave after learning the reason his boss had called him, but he cannot refuse him directly. He had been working under Martin for a long time and so far, their chemistry stayed well. But Martin's request to get involved in the recent case was something he did not want to do. He wanted to extract information about more important issues than handling fresh cases at the moment.

"Is it about the fresh case?" Tom asked him. Even his intuitions told him clearly.

"Yep.." Martin agreed with making a popping sound of 'p'.

Tom sighed and looked into Martin's eyes. "You know about Charlie, right?"

Martin nodded his head and said, "Of course I know about his death. It is very depressing to lose such an honest cop because of negligence. I wished it could have done something at the right time to stop that devastating moment from happening." Martin showed his condolence on the death of Charlie.

Tom shook his head and replied to Martin, "it could do something to prevent his death, it would have fallen on the exact place to help him. You know how difficult the situations were becoming for the police? There are way too many criminals. Those we know aren't dangerous, but those who are hiding in disguise are the most lethal ones."

"That's the exact reason I need your help in this case. I cannot do it all on my own. Tom, you always had my back and this time, I really need your help. Please, consider this as a request." Martin tried to convince Tom to help him in his case. His fingers fidgeted to know Tom's thoughts on the matter. His friend died mysteriously, and it devastated Tom. Martin expected Tom to refuse the proposal and it would only delay solving the case.

No matter how tough a person Tom was, he cannot refuse his boss and his orders. In the first place, he wanted to decline the offer politely, but Martin, begging to help him, seemed too emotional for him. He gave up and agreed to help him. "Alright! I will help you."

Martin smiled at Tom and thanked him for helping with the case. He could have asked other cops for assistance in the case, but Tom is the only one he sought. He was a responsible and righteous cop for the job. Wondered if Tom was an impulsive person, and he thought of investigating the matter by himself. He would have got him noticed by the enemies lurking around and probably met with the same fate as Charlie. Tom did not want to find out the truth, but he was working according to the rules, otherwise he would have died a terrible death.

"Thank you so much, Tom. I am relieved now. You understand how important this case is to me and you made my day by agreeing to work on it. The dinner is on me. What would you like to eat?" Martin was cheerful, and a bit relaxed to get support in the case. He even offered a meal to Tom for his help. He would do anything to keep Tom by his side.

"I am full. How about discussing this case further before I start working on it?" Tom politely refused the offer and went straight to the point about the details of the case we would work on. Tom's enthusiasm impressed Martin and nodded his head slightly. Later, he passed a document to Tom and looked for his response.

Tom picked the file and opened to read the details of the case he would handle. Martin observed Tom carefully while thinking about keeping Tom in his house. Since the last case, Tom was wandering and needed a place to stay.

Martin was concerned that at any moment, Tom would ask him the same, but he did not want to take the risk of keeping Tom in his house. For several reasons, the most crucial was, he was an attention seeker and something did happen around him.
