"Well, I think that old man will be finding me soon so it shouldn't be too difficult in the end," Yoze added, feeling that with how he had interacted with Regi and his alter ego, Winter, he was going to see him soon.
"I see," Detective Dave felt like he understood what Yoze meant.
Yoze wasn't really interested in looking to collect information about the missing Blood Master. He just wanted to confirm if Bloody Tornado had been hanging out with his enemy.
"Yoze must have known that Blood Master Bloody Tornado was missing or he wouldn't have come here to find out information about his enemy." Detective Dave's eyes slightly widened as he looked at Yoze with suspicion.
"Since you have helped me with what I want I'll still pay my dues. " Yoze took out his pouch full of silver coins and took out 100 silver coins.
"Detective Dave I also have a request that I believe will benefit both of us."
"Hmmm," Detective Dave glanced at the pile of coins in front of him and gladly took the money.
However, he was hesitant to accept Yoze's request without knowing the details so he waited for him to speak first.
"You said that the Bloody Tornado had been missing for years and even has a missing posture for him, right? Does that mean there is a reward for finding him?"
"Yes, 500 silver to be exact."
"What if I said that I found him, would you be willing to deal with the trouble of turning him in and getting the reward money? For the trouble, you would of course get 50 percent of the total reward." Yoze graciously offered.
"Jasmine, Adam come here and tell me your opinion on Mr. Thunder's offer." Detective Dave turned to his two young assistants for their opinion.
Jasmine stood up from the small couch on which she sat and placed the small cube in her hand down. While she and Adam walked behind the desk that Detective Dave sat behind and stood next to him.
"I'll go first, " Jasmine looked at Detective Dave for permission before turning to look at Yoze with clear suspicion.
"In my opinion, he isn't just offering us to get some additional money from bringing the Blood master back. He must have a different intention that he will only reveal after we accept his offer." Jasmine confidently said.
"She hit the nail on the head." Yoze thought to himself.
Jasmine was correct to assume that Yoze wasn't only offering to give Lio Spring to the Detective for some extra money. He wanted to give all three men that Regi had used puppets to the Detective to deal with.
He also wanted to use this opportunity to tell the Detective about all the rogue immortal cultivators that were turned into vegetables around the inn. It had been some time since Yoze had spiritually killed all of the rogue immortal cultivators that tried to invade his home.
Unfortunately, just like how he had to somehow come up with a way to deal with the Martial Grandmaster Silver Thunder's body he had to do the same with the immortal cultivators. Yoze wanted to use this rare opportunity to collect rare talents and improve his Crystal Nerves talent but he didn't want to keep their bodies inside his room.
Just the upkeep in trying to keep all 10 people alive for months was not something that Yoze was interested in and he didn't want to deal with the legal ramifications if he was caught. So for the past few hours, he had thought about a few ways to deal with a good way to deal with their bodies.
After some time he settled on just handing all that responsibility over to the city government to deal with. And just like the deal he had made with them over the Tree Sect members and Martial Grandmaster Silver Thunder, he hoped he could get the same deal.
Yoze hoped that by going through this route he would be able to collect the various talents from these immortal cultivators without having to take care of them. Unfortunately, there was also the issue of how he was supposed to convince the government to keep these immortal cultivators' bodies alive when they looked like ordinary humans.
It wasn't difficult for Yoze to convince the city about keeping the Tree Sect members alive for Yoze to visit since they were still alive and had their minds intact so they had valuable information that the City could gather from them. There was also no issue with keeping the body of a Martial Grandmaster alive since all Martial Grandmaster bodies could be valuable research material.
The bodies of immortal cultivators are different from the bodies of martial artists since most immortal cultivators don't strengthen their bodies. They only focused on cultivating the path to immortality.
However, until they completed the Crystal Brain realm they were no different from regular humans in general. Since most of their special abilities came from them using their crystal energy.
So it would be harder for Yoze to convince the City to keep all these rogue immortal cultivators alive compared to when he only had to offer the opportunity when he captured martial artists.
That was why he wanted to see if he could use the Detective and his connections to convince the City without getting too involved in the matter. As for getting access to each one of them, he would figure that out later.
Detective Dave slowly nodded his head before he turned to the small child beside him.
"I don't like him. He's got a dangerous smell to him." Adam shook his head as he quickly made it clear that he felt that Yoze was too dangerous to work with.
"I see," Detective Dave looked at Yoze and saw that his face didn't flinch at how both his assistants felt they shouldn't work with him.
"Adam, I didn't ask for your opinion about our client but his offer. But since you mentioned how dangerous he seems, Jasmine, what is your opinion about our clients?" Detective Dave asked not at all afraid of upsetting his client.
