(i) When evading the police, he breaks into the apartment of the courtesan, Luang. She flees but later has him brought in for questioning, by her, not the police. This is the beginning of a lucrative partnership. Flandry had made for the slums hoping to contact a criminal underworld and, of course, finds it behind the first door that he breaks into.
(ii) When Luang has possibly deserted him, he prevents the boy Djuanda from jumping off a cliff, nearly being pulled over himself. Djuanda is an even better investment. Immediately, he rescues Luang and Kemul, persuades them to rescue the meanwhile arrested Flandry and then brings a high political alliance with his people of Ranau.
Flandry is helped not only by luck but also by the incompetence of his adversaries but that is explicable although it will have to wait till the next post since I am suddenly caught up in real world politics.
