Zachary was just acting according to Charlie’s arrangements with this series of performances. In other words, he was eating, drinking, and entertaining himself with public funds that had already been approved by his superior.
The reason why Charlie asked Zachary to entertain himself and have fun every night was because he was worried that Mr. Chardon would be secretly monitoring Zachary.
Charlie could not allow any clues about Zachary to be exposed before Mr. Chardon made the next move. As long as Zachary did not expose any clues, there would not be any changes on the night after tomorrow. Once the secret was exposed, it could potentially cause Mr. Chardon to take action earlier instead.
At this moment, Mr. Chardon was constantly keeping an eye on Zachary, and he was even listening carefully to his conversations with the female escort. The more he observed Zachary, the more he believed in Zachary’s persona and everything Zachary had told him.
In his view, Zachary earned money during the day and spent it extravagantly on nightlife as he indulged in all kinds of vices. Moreover, he was currently staying in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel. In Mr. Chardon’s opinion, these behaviors were typical of criminals who amassed enormous wealth through illegal activities.
Money that came easily and was obtained through illegitimate means tended to make people adopt a mentality of enjoying life to the fullest.
After being completely reassured about Zachary, Mr. Chardon returned to his hotel. He planned to spend the next two days meditating and practicing cultivation in his hotel room while also contemplating the newly acquired three magic instruments to see if there were any gains.
Charlie was aware of Mr. Chardon’s movements and instructed someone to monitor the hotel where Mr. Chardon was staying via city surveillance. Charlie wanted to be informed immediately as soon as Mr. Chardon left the hotel.
As for Ruby, she skillfully avoided both Mr. Chardon and Charlie’s attention as she lurked in Aurous Hill and observed Mr. Chardon’s every move closely.
That night, Ruby truthfully reported everything that had happened today to the British Lord.
In the British Lord’s opinion, Ruby could quietly explore and look into the clues leading to the magic instruments after Mr. Chardon had attracted attention by targeting the Ackers. After all, Ruby had already seen Zachary from a distance today and knew he was active in Antique Street. If Mr. Chardon was unable to show up, it would be a good choice for Ruby to take over and communicate with Zachary then.
After all, the British Lord felt that Ruby was much more reliable compared to Mr. Chardon.
Mr. Chardon did not expect that the British Lord would not postpone his plans even after he presented the two magic instruments to him. He felt extremely frustrated, but all he could do now was hope that Zachary would bring him some good news tomorrow.
-
Zachary slept until late morning again the next day. Since Charlie did not summon him, he leisurely enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at the hotel before calmly returning to Antique Street to continue setting up his stall.
