They all call me master

Hearing Arthur's words, Maltz slapped his forehead - this police chief was one of the people who firmly believed that Arthur could communicate with the dead.

"Forgot, no one died this time!"

Maltz had an apologetic smile on his face.

However, when Arthur saw this apologetic smile, he wanted to punch him.

What does this smile mean?

It makes him like the God of Death. Wherever he goes, people die.

How can this be? !

Everything is a coincidence!

Moreover, this time there is a fundamental difference - Jenkin, the painter broke in on his own initiative, not someone he met when he went out.

There are essential differences.

Arthur was very confident, and then thought for a moment.

"During the big search in South Los after Jenkin disappeared, was it all districts?"

In the memory of his predecessor, No. 2 Kirk Street was searched at that time - afterwards, old Charlie was busy for several days before resetting the mechanism and secret room.

However, other districts are not sure.

"Of course, all districts!"

"Who dares to disobey that Earl's order?"

Maltz nodded affirmatively.

"What about the dock area?"

Arthur continued to ask.

"Did you find anything?"

Maltz reacted quickly.

"It's not a discovery. You can ask people along Kirk Street where Jenkin showed up this morning. Maybe the kidnappers covered up, but it should be in the dock area in the end - or not far from Sisport." There should be traces of kidnappers on the nearby islands that no one pays attention to."

Although his guess about Jenkin's identity was wrong, Arthur was extremely sure about the circumstances.

At the same time, Arthur is willing to share the 'credit' with Maltz.

The cooperative relationship between the two parties is destined to be that the more stable Maltz's status is, the more benefits Arthur will be able to obtain.

"Understood!"

Maltz didn't ask how Arthur knew.

Maybe it was informed by a passing undead.

It’s also possible that Ms. ‘Anna’ informed her.

Anyway, the sergeant turned around and walked out.

No. 2 Kirk Street became quiet again, but Arthur frowned slightly.

‘Jenjin’s disappearance shouldn’t have anything to do with that old lion, right?

It must be a coincidence, right?

In it, the countess probably didn't play any role, right? ’

Arthur is now a bit dissatisfied. Once he gets involved with the countess, he will always subconsciously think of the old lion.

Then, he began to doubt the countess's intentions.

After thinking for ten minutes, Arthur finally came back to his senses when Pendragon, who had finished a bowl of chicken breast, came over to rub his legs.

"What an edible little guy!"

Arthur looked at Pendragon's increasingly rounded body, stood up and tore into another bowl of chicken breasts.

However, when he had breakfast, he chose to change the dipped chicken breast into pan-fried chicken breast in sweet and sour sauce - definitely not because he just tasted it and didn't think it was delicious.

Drain the cooked chicken breasts, put them in the frying pan, and fry over low heat.

Chicken breast is a weird food.

If it were just boiled, it would be so dry that it would be inedible.

But as long as you slightly change the cooking method, the taste becomes delicious.

Fry until both sides are crispy, and Arthur pours on the sweet and sour sauce. After one bite, there is a crunch and a bit of crumbs. The sweet and sour taste makes Arthur eat two complete chicken breasts before he starts to pick them up. Lemonade with honey.

‘How do you make cheese? ’

‘It has sweet and sour sauce, and it tastes even better if it’s wrapped in cheese! ’

‘Not just chicken, but also pork ribs! ’

Arthur thought as he washed the dishes.

When Arthur walked from the kitchen to the medium's hall, he was still carrying lemonade with honey.

Hot cocoa is delicious, but it goes better with lemonade during the day.

And for the next dozen hours, Arthur spent the next ten hours practicing the newly learned secret techniques and reviewing the mysterious knowledge - not only practicing the secret techniques of pronouncing pictures and complex words at a faster speed, but also practicing the secret techniques of calculation. The physical exertion of the technique, as well as feeling the changes in the body every time the secret technique is used, etc.

Lunch and dinner were spent on simple meals such as slices of bread, ham slices, and water.

It wasn't until late at night that Arthur found the person he was waiting for.

Outside No. 2 Kirk Street, the familiar carriage stopped steadily.

The coachman Edwin opened the door for Malinda.

Malinda, who was holding a pipe and carrying a box, jumped out of the carriage and said directly to her coachman.

"Catch me again tomorrow morning!"

"Yes, sir!"

Edwin replied respectfully.

However, the driver did not leave immediately. Instead, he turned on the kerosene lamp hanging on the side of the car to illuminate Malinda.

When Arthur went out, Edwin did not forget to nod to Arthur.

Arthur also nodded in response.

However, when he saw Edwin shake the reins and leave straight away, Arthur raised his eyebrows in surprise - if he remembered correctly, he and Malinda should still be in a 'cold war' now!

Even if he wants to ease the relationship, it will take a few days, or he can take the initiative to go to No. 6 White Bird Street - Arthur knows very well that he and Malinda only have a cooperative relationship.

But precisely because it is a cooperative relationship, we must follow the script.

After all, he 'received money'.

He, Arthur, was paid to do things.

Of course, this is limited to cooperative relationships—the gift packages delivered to your door by Albers’s uncle are not included in this.

According to Arthur's idea, Malinda will come back tonight with 'his reward', and will give it to him with the excuse of 'these are your things, give them back to you'.

But now?

Malinda is going to add some drama.

no problem!

As a collaborator, of course he cooperates.

but……

Need more money!

Arthur didn't hide his thoughts, and Malinda could naturally see it - the lady closed the door and handed the box in her hand to Arthur.

That means the reward inside is enough!

In the box, there are not only four materials: sun flower, moon grass, golden acorn, and vampire tooth, but also a volume of cat sect secrets and a volume of cat cave secrets.

Arthur knew the four materials and the secrets of Cat Faction.

Because this is the prescribed reward.

But that volume of cat cave secrets surprised Arthur.

"'Silent Stepping' is one of the core secrets of the Cat Cave. However, it can only be used by those who have performed Cat Cave or Cat Sect rituals, and only the Cat Cave ritual can exert its effect 100% - this is the count's Your honor will reward you for your quick response last night.

Likewise, I who brought it to you deserve the right to stay there. "

Malinda said plausibly.

"Only in the 'Psychic Hall'!"

Without too much entanglement, Arthur directly picked up the secret technique called 'Silent Stepping' - a core secret technique that can only be used in Cat Cave and Cat Faction, which is exactly what he needs.

Moreover, the ceremony he is about to perform is the Cat Cave's [Cat Orange], which happens to be able to exert the power of such a secret technique 100%.

Of course, Arthur knew very well that the Countess had come up with one of the core secrets of the Cat Cave such as 'Silent Continuous Stepping'. In addition to being called 'reward', which was actually 'drawing in', it was also a test - There are tests on his mastery of secret techniques and the genre he belongs to, as well as tests on what happened last night.

Although the other party claims to be the master of Nanlos, it is impossible for him to know everything about Nanlos.

At least, the other party didn't expect Heywood.

Not only did the Earl of Nanlos fail to predict it, but even Arthur himself did not expect that Heywood would use his compensation money to buy a house on Pine Street.

And Malinda in front of her seemed to be full of curiosity.

"how did you do it?"

"Haywood is really a coincidence?"

Arthur smiled. He looked at Malinda who looked curious, raised his left hand, and slowly clasped his thumb, middle finger, ring finger and little finger inwards.

Finally, he raised his index finger.

Malinda looked stunned.

"What's the meaning?"
