Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 140 Acquaintance
A gaunt-faced middle-aged man appeared at the gate of the manor.

He was dressed in a formal suit, holding a simple black cane, and wearing a top hat.

After this person appeared, the noblemen who had been eager to fight immediately became obedient. Some of the more arrogant men consciously pulled their legs together and nodded obediently to the man.

"Mr. Jonathan, please excuse my poor appearance."

Michael immediately dropped his previous attitude, humbly removed his hat, and bowed to the man.

……

Milo turned around and confirmed that the familiar voice belonged to Jonathan, whom he knew.

Ms. Castor's... attendant? Or butler?

Milo was unclear about Jonathan's specific role in the Sherman family; he only knew that Jonathan worked for Grace.

However, judging from the reactions of others, this refined-looking middle-aged man must have done something that commands respect... or perhaps inspires fear.

Milo and Jonathan met a few times, but didn't talk much.

But Jonathan knew all about what Milo had done.

When he saw Milo, a slight look of surprise appeared on his face, but this look was quickly replaced by a very friendly smile.

……

The other young nobles present began to smile smugly, because in their eyes, Old Joe would definitely make this arrogant brat very embarrassed.

Michael thought so too, which is why he deliberately clarified Milo's identity:
“Mr. Jonathan, we were just talking to this friend from the law enforcement agency; there was no fighting involved…”

When Michael said those words, Milo could feel that Enid's palms were already sweating.

If she was angry just now, her slightly trembling hands are now entirely due to fear.

……

But Jonathan's next reaction stunned everyone.

He completely ignored Michael's words, walked straight up to Milo, politely bowed slightly, extended his right hand, and respectfully said:
“I never expected to see you here, Mr. Valrocan.”

“Jonathan.” Milo calmly took the other’s hand.

...

There was silence.

Everyone blinked repeatedly, scrutinizing the unbelievable scene before them.

Because in their minds, no law enforcement officer who appeared at Sherman Manor could possibly get a friendly look from Jonathan, not even a law enforcement inspector.

Crazy old Joe only showed this kind of humility to one person: Ms. Castor.

But this really did happen.

Jonathan was slightly taller than Milo, but he bent his body lower than Milo and used honorifics, which...

Not only the York family was stunned.

The same goes for Enid.

She stared blankly at Milo's profile beside her, her mind frantically analyzing every detail of the scene before her. After a brainstorming session, she concluded that this was impossible.

It's not that Cirion's manhood was...

Enid thought that the moment Jonathan recognized Milo, something terrible and horrific would happen.

She couldn't help but recall the stories her elders occasionally told about the eccentric old Joe from the Sherman family.

However, the terrifyingly ruthless figure described by the elders was completely different from the kind and approachable man before them. So what was going on?

Why do these two look so familiar with each other?
Shouldn't they be enemies?
……

"I never expected to see you here."

Milo was telling the truth; he had only just learned that today's banquet was being hosted by the Sherman family.

However, Jonathan's attitude was within his expectations.

After all, the marriage certificate that Milo held in his hand carried a lot of weight.

“What a coincidence, I was just here to greet today’s guests.” Jonathan nodded and said, “But I think the most important guest today has already arrived. Please, Mr. Valrocan, make yourself at home.”

Jonathan turned to the side and extended his hand in a "please" gesture.

Milo didn't stand on ceremony and took Enid's hand, leading her into the manor.

Jonathan followed closely behind.

As for the York family lads, they were completely ignored and left to their own devices.

……

The last time Milo came here, he had no time to appreciate the magnificent architecture inside the manor or the exquisite sculptures and flowers in the surrounding flowerbeds.

After all, the relationship between the two sides was a little tense at that time.

Well, Milo's only memory of Sherman Manor was that cold pillar; his backside still remembers how icy the polished surface of the pillar was.

Now, as a guest, Milo has come to see for himself just how luxurious the living environment of the city's top aristocracy truly is.

This was the most magnificent and complex manor he had seen since he came into this world. After entering the manor, they walked for nearly five minutes before they were able to cross a garden and reach the nearest building.

Eight long tables covered with white tablecloths had been set up in advance on the flat lawn. Dozens of servants and maids stood on both sides of the banquet area waiting. The tables were piled high with fine wines and delicacies.

"Please make yourself at home, Mr. Valrocan. I must pass on the news of your arrival to Ms. Sherman; I'm sure she will be delighted to hear it."

Jonathan said respectfully.

"Go about your business."

Milo shrugged.

He looked at the food on the table and thought of his young, food-loving son: "Little Finn would probably go crazy with joy if he saw this."

"So what exactly happened? Shouldn't your two families be sworn enemies? My God, you actually took Cillian's testicles. No wonder we haven't seen that guy all this time."

Enid hadn't fully recovered from the mental blank she'd just experienced.

She stared at Milo with disbelief, feeling for the first time how unfamiliar this guy seemed.

Enid kept pulling Milo along, pressing him for answers.

They were so close that outsiders would think they were a couple deeply in love, unwilling to be apart for even a moment.

This scene left the York family, who had just arrived on the banquet lawn, looking pale and then purple.

Especially Michael.

The York family had originally planned to use this opportunity to propose a marriage alliance to the Kent family, and if all went well, he might even accept a proposal on the spot.

When he saw his love interest cuddling with another stranger, his blood pressure kept rising.
