"So, has there been any indication to the fact that the ingredient named silver milk exists?" demiG.o.d Baylor did not bother to question what his mentor said because if he spoke about it to him then he must have strong reasons to back it up.

"No, there weren't any. Until, Dr. Luna Lorn, a descendant of the southern royal family, a researcher at the morningstar university, applied to borrow the dungeon relocation apparatus for a hefty price," Henricks's claims finally start to make sense to demiG.o.d Baylor.

"So you believe that the said Silver Milk ingredient mentioned in the recipe of the Silver milk powder is a new ingredient discovered in a dungeon?" Once his mentor brought up the dungeon relocation apparatus, demiG.o.d Baylor's mind immediately jumped to this conclusion.

"Yes, that's the spark that brought this case to the notice of the government. However, no matter how rational the speculations seemed they were still speculations after all, not enough for the government to risk making an enemy out of the royal families," Henrick's explained that if the government interfered and investigate the southern region based on speculation then the southern royal family will not be the only royal family they will be offending but the other three royal families too.

Because today it was the southern region then tomorrow it will be either one of them, the only way these royal families could stop the government from encroaching on their rights was by standing together against the government despite their differences.

"From what you said so far, it seems the government is certain that the silver milk powder is not a fraud," demiG.o.d Baylor said, feeling that it was a slam dunk based on the speculations so far.

"Yeah, no. There is a problem," Henricks said with a hint of embarra.s.sment. And then added, "In the papers submitted by the boy to apply for the patent, he has described the properties, soul pathways, arrangements, and vibrations of the ingredient he termed as silver milk. This is where the situation gets complicated."

"I don't understand," said demiG.o.d Baylor, not understanding how the properties, soul pathways, arrangements, and vibration of the ingredient called silver milk became the problem.

"Considering the alluring application of the silver milk powder, the government had recruited five demiG.o.d realm diamond rank array masters and card creationists well versed in creation rule to use the properties, soul pathways, arrangements and vibration of the silver milk ingredient described in papers to recreate it," Henricks paused and drank remain rum in his gla.s.s.

"So, were they able to recreate it?" demiG.o.d Baylor asked knowing that if they were able to recreate the ingredient then the government would be having a heated talk with the southern region instead of asking him to do a covert investigation off the books into it.

"Not yet, they are still at it. Things like this take time but with pa.s.sing days the government is losing its confidence," Henricks knew that research work took time but the government did not have the patience for it. Hence, when demiG.o.d Baylor opened an investigation into the southern royal family, overreaching his authority, instead of reprimanding him the government decided to use him as his personal interest, in this case, made him the perfect patsy. f??e???ｎ૦ѵel.c??

Many people had a bone to pick with the southern royal family but only demiG.o.d Baylor's interest clashed with the silver milk powder incident. So in case, demiG.o.d Baylor or his people were to get caught snooping around regarding this. Then the government could appease the southern royal family by claiming that demiG.o.d Baylor abused his authority for his personal grievance against the southern royal family and they had no idea.

As if the southern royal family would fall for that but they would have to swallow it since the government's hand would clean since demiG.o.d Baylor would be taking all the blame and allowing the government to open an investigation into demiG.o.d Baylor and his crime.

By opening an investigation into demiG.o.d Baylor and his crime, the government would be able to investigate the silver milk powder patent fraud. This was why demiG.o.d Baylor made the perfect patsy for the covert operation into the silver milk powder patent fraud of the southern region.

Right now the government has no reason to claim jurisdiction in the silver milk powder patent fraud, but that would not be the case if demiG.o.d Baylor were to be caught snooping around that case by abusing his power.

Why demiG.o.d Baylor? Why not someone else? DemiG.o.d Baylor's relations.h.i.+p with the mastermind behind the silver milk powder patent fraud gave the government enough leverage when they would begin fighting with the southern royal family for jurisdiction over the silver milk powder patent fraud. This way the government would get what it wanted while keeping its hands clean when it came to law but ethically n.o.body's hands were clean.

The government did not have the patients to do things by the book, who knows how long it would take for the researchers to recreate the ingredient, silver milk, using its properties, soul pathways, arrangements, and vibrations available. That was a.s.suming that the southern royal family did not omit a few details to buy themselves enough time.

All this became apparent to demiG.o.d Baylor when his mentor laid it all in front of him, but he could not help but ask, "What's the government's endgame here? Even if they prove that silver milk powder exists, its patent belongs to Dalton Wyatt and he has already sold its entire production and distribution rights exclusively to the southern royal family. What is the government trying to achieve here?"

DemiG.o.d Baylor was right, the patent already belonged to someone, and there was no place for the government to intervene there.

Henricks did not immediately answer his disciple but instead became emotional and said, "Thank you. Thank you for not doubting my intentions."

Despite learning that the government was planning to use him as the scapegoat to achieve their agenda and his mentor, Henricks, instead of protecting his disciple's interests was playing the role of devil's advocate by mediating the government's intentions for him to start a covert investigation into the silver milk powder patent fraud case off the books to him, DemiG.o.d Baylor did not blame Henricks, he did not speak one word about it nor did he resented Henricks because of it. This action of demiG.o.d Baylor moved Henricks's heart and today he genuinely felt that he really bet on the right horse.

"Field Marshal, you are not the one who should be thanking me, it should be me thanking you. If not for you watching out for me it would not be possible for me to grow into what I am today. I could never doubt your intentions for me. Even now, there must be a reason why you want me to do the government's bidding," demiG.o.d Baylor was not being humble or saying this to be polite, he genuinely thought so.

"Hahaha," Henricks laughed out loud, trying to mask his teary eyes, and shouted, "If I were to die now I will have no complaints. Having nurtured a disciple like you, my life has one less regret."
