Chuckles Well, well, boss. Looks like we have to do some old-fashioned detective work then, don't we? He starts rummaging through the dusty shelves, searching for something.

Waves the photographs in the air Jackpot, boss! These babies hold more dirt than a gardener on steroids. He quickly flips through the photos, revealing images of Master Cyrus with various influential figures, engaging in questionable activities.
