The Human Giant



"A 100 silver!" The middle-aged guard's eyes went wide with shock.

He couldn't believe that this man in front of him was willing to spend a person's yearly salary on an investigator to find someone.

"If you are planning to spend that much you are best to get an expert in finding people, here this investigator is known for his ability to find people. He is expensive but he says that if he can't find the person he will return the money." The middle-aged guard took out a slip of paper and wrote down the investigator's address and information on it before handing it to Yoze.

"Thanks for the help," Yoze 

"No problem, always happy to help around." The middle-aged guard said as he looked at Yoze with expectation.

"Here is a tip for being so helpful." Seeing that Yoze wasn't getting the guard's hint Jewel grabbed her money pouch and handed the guard a silver coin.

The middle-aged guard nodded his head, grabbed the silver coin, and left without another word.

"That will be 1 silver coin as compensation." Jewel turned around and waved her hand at Yoze demanding compensation.

Knowing that it was his fault for being slow in getting used to the culture of this region, Yoze gave Jewel a silver coin to pay her back.  

After that ordeal, they both looked at the information that the guard provided. On the slip of paper were the investigator's name, address, and a brief description of what he looked like was jotted down.

"Detective Dave, and from the address it shouldn't take us long to get there," Jewel said reading the information.

"Then let's check it out. If he is as qualified as that guard says he is, then there shouldn't be a problem for us to hire him today." 

Not wasting more time the two of them went over to the investigator's address and found themselves standing in front of a small nameless building.

"Knock knock"

Knocking on the door, Yoze and Jewel waited until they heard the door unlock and slowly open to reveal the investigator mysteriously sitting at his desk. However, the mysterious atmosphere was ruined when Yoze and Jewel heard a child's voice below them.

"Hello, are you here for detective Dave's services?" The child looked to be around 12 years old and had a bored look on his face.

Yoze was instantly drawn to the child's head as he saw that his collection of Spiritual energy had formed into a yellow dog with brown spots.

"Yes, we are here to ask the detective if he can find a missing person." Jewel's eyes sparkled as she saw the child as she said why they came here.

"Okay, come in and get comfy, Detective Dave is at his front desk." The young child nodded his head as he went to be at the detective's side.

Taking a seat in front of Detective Dave, they noticed that he looked younger than they imagined, looking like he was about the same age as Yoze. 

"Nice to meet you, Detective Dave, my name is Yoze and her name is Jewel and I want to hire you for your services to find two individuals."

"Thank you for choosing me, but before we begin I need to put up some information. The people that will be doing the main bulk of the investigation will be my two students while I help them along. If you can't accept that then we will not be able to work together." Detective Dave looked into Yoze's and Jewel's eyes as he added his caveat.

"That's fine, as long as these two people are found I don't care who is doing the investigation. But I will prefer that this investigation goes as fast as possible since I'm in a time crunch." Yoze said without hesitation.

"If we can't find that person within a month then the investigation will be considered a failure and your money will be returned." 

"As for my rate, it's at least 20 silver for us to take the case, and if you want us to put out entire focus on your case that will bring it up to 80 silver." Detective Dave said calmly, half expecting some shock to be on Yoze's face.

However, he was disappointed by the lack of reaction coming from Yoze and Jewel. 

"Here is 100 silver, 80 for the investigation and 20 for the information that you found if you can't find them."

Yoze took out a pouch he had stuffed with 100 silver beforehand and gave it to the detective. Even though he had to give up a third of his savings to pay for this investigation Yoze didn't flinch as he was long prepared to spend big.

As for Jewel, she had already known that Yoze was planning on spending 100 silver for the best investigator so she didn't flinch at the shockingly high prices.

"If you can give me the information of the two people you want me to find then we can start looking for them today." This time it was Detective Dave who was shocked into silence before taking the money and asking for the information.

"Are we able to come back in an hour to tell you the information?" Yoze asked as he didn't know what his father's children looked like or much about them.

"That's fine, we will be here until sunset if you have any information you want us to know." 

Yoze and Jewel soon left after that and went back to Ten Ton Inn to inform Yoze's father and take him with them to Detective Dave. The process of telling the detective the information was quick and they had given the detective all the information they could and left to go celebrate.

By the time they returned to the Inn, it was getting dark but Yoze took out both the Iron Skin body cultivation manual and the Blood Swordsman martial art set.

"It's finally time to begin another training session and practice these two."
