@LokiAsengott at best you can see the relationship between our man and his spook as some sort of possessive yandere thing, but I feel like even that is reaching a bit.
The best parts of the story are the ones where the bunch of rich ponces waxes poetic over fine wine and food, the rest kinda just makes you want to bash your skull against a wall. Bloody hell do I hate what the novel turned into after the ayylmaos got introduced.
