The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

Li Xuan put down his glass, wiped the wine stains from his lips, and said with a mocking look on his face, "I really don't know if you are really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. You are embarrassing yourself by flattering a nouveau riche!"

"Who are you? You look like a detective, judging by your attire. Who let you in? Do you know where this is?" Lucien's subordinate immediately retorted, his words sharp and not at all inferior.

"What's wrong with the detective? Is the detective eating your rice? I see that your steps are unsteady, your eyes are dull, and your face is dull. It's likely that you are often unable to do your job. Am I right?!"

Li Xuan's words seemed to have hit a sore spot. He was so angry that he jumped up and down, saying angrily, "You're a detective, not a doctor. What right do you have to say that I have kidney deficiency?"

Li Xuan helplessly spread his hands. "Why did I say you had kidney deficiency? I just said you were unable to do it. It's none of my business if you admit it yourself! Besides, I'm a detective, and I pay more attention to details than you think. Judging from your reaction just now, you really are a man with kidney deficiency!"

"Ahhh! Damn detective, I'm going to fight you!" The follower, blinded by anger, had lost his mind and wanted to fight Li Xuan to the death immediately.

"Al, that's enough! Pay attention to the occasion!"

Just as Al was about to take action, Lucien called a halt in time.

This was not because he was afraid of the detective, but because the current situation was not suitable for making a big fuss. If it affected the disclosure of his identity, that would be the biggest loss.

Al looked at Lucien in confusion. They could be said to be friends who had grown up together.

Although he was the only son in the family, his father's business was small and he had to rely on Lucien's father.

When he grew up, Lucien happened to be in charge of this area. Al began to constantly please him, get closer to him, and profit from it.

It was also from this time that the identities of the two people had undergone earth-shaking changes.

He originally thought that if Lucien succeeded, he would also rise to prominence, but when faced with an unknown detective, Lucien did not even help him, which made him very unhappy.

"Lucian, am I wrong?" Al asked unwillingly.

"Al, you were too extreme just now." Then he looked at Li Xuan, "If I remember correctly, this detective should be Su Xiao, the one my father hired to find my brother!"

Li Xuan nodded, "Yes, it's me."

Lucien immediately launched into a fight. "Then I have to ask, why are you here eating and drinking for free instead of going to my brother? Is this how you treat the job your father gave you?!"

"I remember the person who commissioned me was Behan York. When will it be your turn as a bastard to question me?"

Li Xuan's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Lucien's heart and causing critical damage to him.

"you……"

"What do you mean by 'you'?! I'm always responsible and will do my best to complete my employer's tasks. But you're not even an heir, just a bastard who was temporarily used as a scapegoat. Where do you get the courage from?"

Lucien was speechless and felt dizzy with anger for a moment.

At this time, Al stood up to refute: "Since you said you are responsible for your work, have you found Master Will?"

Li Xuan smiled lightly and turned to look in the direction of Behan York.

"Who the hell are you? Why should I report my work progress to you?"

Li Xuan is now like a god of war. He scolds whoever he catches without leaving any room for them.

The commotion at the youth field caught Behan's attention. He put down his glass and looked in the direction of the commotion.

"Mr. York, we..."

Behan extended his hand to signal a pause. "Wait a moment, there seems to be a problem with the young man. I think the matter there should be dealt with first."

The man immediately agreed, "Mr. York is right. Young people nowadays are really a cause for concern. If you're not careful, they could get into big trouble. They really should be dealt with as a priority."

After saying that, everyone made way for Behan to go straight to the place where the riot occurred.

When he got there, he saw his child Lucien holding his chest, gasping for breath, and looking very angry.

And opposite him was the famous detective he had found.

He said in surprise: "Mr. Su Xiao, why are you here?"

Seeing the real person in charge coming, the younger generation fell silent and made way for him.

Lucien also found his backbone and went up to complain directly: "Father, I just asked Detective Su Xiao about my brother's whereabouts, but he directly said I was unworthy. I was just worried about my brother's safety. If he took your money but didn't put his mind to finding my brother, then wouldn't your money be wasted?"

Behan did not continue asking questions following Lucien's words, but looked at Li Xuan, waiting for his response.

Seeing how calm Behan was, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel sorry that the opportunity to show off was gone in a flash.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. York. Mr. Lucian just now openly questioned my business ability, which made me very angry. So my words were a bit excessive. I hope you can forgive me."

Behan ignored him and asked, "How's your investigation going? It's been going on for so long, you should have found something."

In response to Behan's question, Li Xuan raised the corners of his mouth and began his performance.

"Of course! Ever since I accepted the investigation mission, I've been ready and headed straight to the place where Master Will disappeared. My assistant and I overcame numerous obstacles and difficulties along the way and finally found that place!"

As Li Xuan described, Lucien broke out in a cold sweat and wished he could stop Li Xuan from speaking immediately.

But thinking that he was coming back alone and the situation he least wanted to see was unlikely to happen, he controlled his body.

As Behan listened to Li Xuan's description, hope suddenly arose in his heart, but having experienced many ups and downs, he always maintained a calm mind and would not place his hopes on any outsider.

He pressed on: "And then? What did you find?"

Li Xuan released his perception and quickly found the person he was looking for.

He nodded and said, "Yes, after our investigation, we found at least nine clues. We were even attacked by locals while searching for clues. It was a close call and we almost died there."

Behan asked at the right moment: "I haven't seen the assistant yet. Could it be that she has already..."

"Oh, she's still alive, but I don't know where she went to play..."

The people around looked at Li Xuan and wanted to punch him themselves.

What I just said was so thrilling, but in the end nothing happened. They were so nervous for nothing. He is such a disgrace!

Behan felt somewhat helpless. He urged, "Stop the polite talk and tell me the results of the investigation, or what those nine clues are."

Li Xuan kept the secret and said, "There's no rush for that. Before I tell you, why don't you let me perform a magic trick called—Magic Revival!"

"Thump, thump, thump! Turn around, our protagonist is coming!"
