"Why do I have a feeling that it is not 'just a bit too risky'?" said Ben, rather questioning, he had known those two too well to believe that crap of Sky.
"Well, your doubt is right on point, it is indeed not as simple as how Sky described, or rather, it can be quite dangerous. Which is why we still need to gather some detailed information regarding that pair of daggers before we could proceed with our plans." said Chris.
"I see. What are you planning to do after this then?" Ben asked.
"For now... I need to get someone to help Maria with his interview session." said Chris with an awkward smile...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quill Town.
Maria had just done tidying himself up and is getting himself ready for the big event of the day, which is the interview session for the second batch of applicants for Dominic's personal assistant recruitment.
Suddenly, he is visited by an unexpected guest.
"Mr. Blair? What are you doing here?" Maria asked, rather surprised to see Blair.
"Good day, Miss Maria, I was requested by Chris-chan to help you in some official matters." said Blair, and yes, he is the person that was sent by Chris to help Maria with the recruitment process.
"Heh?!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Secret base.
"Chris-chan, are you serious about sending Mr. Blair here to assist me in Uncle Dominic's personal assistant recruitment? I thought we are having some issues with him." said Maria through the phone, a bit questioning about the person suggested by Chris.
"Well, you are right, but these are two separate matters, our issues have nothing to do with Dominic's personal assistant recruitment, right? Furthermore, he is the perfect candidate for this kind of job. By the way, is Dominic available right now?" said Chris.
"Yes, he just finished his morning prayer, do you need anything from him right now?" Maria asked.
"Yeah, but no, not just right now, I will probably occupy him for the next few hours." said Chris.
"Heh? Does that mean he would not have free time for the interview?" Maria exclaimed, rather surprised.
"Well, yeah, you should know which matter is more urgent and important, right?" said Chris, who sounds a bit coercing despite in a casual tone.
"Aww... I see... Alright then." said Maria, who sounds a bit upset...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After informing Maria that he will need Dominic's help with the black daggers issues, Chris proceeds to make a holographic video call to Dominic with Maria's help.
Chris explained his findings of the black daggers in detail to Dominic before telling him the solutions they had figured up the day before along with their concerns.
"I wondered if you know anyone that had successfully 'conquered' this pair of daggers before, aside from Dracula?" Chris asked, rather directly.
"I am not very certain how accurate this information might be but I had indeed heard something related from that royal family who send me the daggers. They told me that it was passed to them by one of the founders of their kingdom who was actually a half-vampire and successfully gained power from the daggers without losing control. Because of that, the daggers had become the symbol for the power of the kingdom, until that unexpected tragedy happened." said Dominic.
"I see... So, by right if that person actually does exist, I should be able to trace him down through this line of connection..." said Chris, in a serious tone as he is taking some notes.
"Uhm... May I know what do you mean by 'trace him down through this line of connection'? You are not trying to do anything weird, don't you?" Dominic asked, rather concerned.
"Uh... In terms of morality, it might not be that acceptable since it is about someone's privacy but that's all. Don't worry. Anyway, Maria told me that the prince who had lost his sanity is at your place right now, is it possible to bring him to me? Or the other way round." said Chris, switched the topic really fast.
"Well, if you need to meet him, I can bring you to him. So... I need to move this device right?" said Dominic, referring to the hologram device.
"No, it's okay, it's not necessary. Hey Sky, can you be my support for a while?" said Chris as he turned to Sky who is actually behind of him but not shown in the holographic image.
"Okay, be careful, alright?" said Sky from behind the scene.
Then, Chris appeared at Dominic's side all of the sudden.
"Chris? I thought you were supposed to be..."
"Haha... Don't worry, I am still in my secret base, this is just my mind projection, you may try to touch me." said Chris.
A bit curious, Dominic did as Chris instructed, and was surprised to find out he can't actually touch that solid image of Chris who is at his side.
"Lead the way please." said Chris, with a smile.
Dominic nodded and looks rather impressed by Chris's mind projection.
Without further asking anything, Dominic led Chris to the basement where the young prince is locked in. But this time, it is a bit different from the last time where Maria first met the young prince, the young prince did not assault them like the previous time, and instead, he is squatting quietly in a corner, or rather, he seems to be pressed down by an unseen force. Dominic glimpsed at Chris for a bit, his instinct told him that, it has something to do with Chris...

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
