They all call me master

Arthur doesn't understand contracts.

But Arthur could make others think he understood.

This is not a contradiction!

As long as Arthur doesn't meet anyone who really understands, then he can make everyone think he understands - this is not a lie, just a reasonable use.

Just like Cook or Cook's father, he should know about the mysterious side, but he definitely doesn't have an in-depth understanding, let alone any grasp. Otherwise, Cook would not be just a third-level police officer in the Duo District. , Old Cook will no longer stay on a farm.

It's very simple to deceive a layman.

It's even easier to deceive a layman who knows little about it.

Because, when facing a pure layman, you have to lay the groundwork and educate the other person. But when facing a layman who knows only a little about it, you don’t need to say anything at all. As long as the atmosphere is well prepared, they will find out a lot for you. Appropriate reasons for trusting you.

Just like Cook at this moment.

The third-level police officer from the Duo District District sat back in his chair with a resigned look on his face. His eyes had lost their luster, just like a defeated dog in the heavy rain on Valentine's Day.

"Did you misunderstand something?"

After Arthur admired Cook's completely gloomy expression for a long time, he slowly spoke.

"Um?"

Cook looked up sharply.

“There are many types of contracts.

And I tend to be more egalitarian - if you don't betray me, nothing will happen.

Likewise, I will protect you. "

Arthur explained.

"Then what if I..."

Completely subconsciously, the third-level police officer from the Duo District asked this question, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a sharp thorny feeling appear on the back of his neck.

It's like being pricked with needles!

Immediately, the body of the third-level police officer from the Duo District stiffened.

He just had an unconfirmed idea, and it was so dangerous.

If it's true……

Cook shook his head repeatedly and immediately didn't even dare to think about it.

Seeing Cook's self-performance, Arthur said in a very "cooperative" manner.

"Believe me, you definitely don't want to know what a miserable ending it will be."

With that said, Arthur stood up, walked into the kitchen, and brought two cups of hot cocoa with milk for himself and the other party - still his cup with sugar.

The steaming drink quickly returned Cook to normal.

"Sir, what should I do now?"

Without any hesitation, Cook changed his name to Arthur.

"wait!"

"Waiting for James' death!"

Arthur said lightly.

The group even tested Maltz, how could James be fine?

It's not that James will definitely die when he is tempted.

But James will definitely die after he is tempted.

He said that even if the Countess of Nanlos came, she could not stay.

Cook, who had expected this, was not surprised.

After thinking for a moment, the third-level police officer from the Duo District continued to ask.

"James's property after his death?"

"Leave it to you to develop your subordinates - I don't expect these subordinates to risk their lives for you in a short time, but at least when I need you, you have someone available."

Arthur said simply.

The situation in the Duo Special Zone is gradually becoming clearer.

Wiggins in the dark, Cook in the open.

If the two of them cooperate, the Duo District will also be his territory in a sense.

This will make things easier for him.

As for Harris?

The other person's presence doesn't matter.

On the contrary, at the critical moment, he will be his helper - a scapegoat who enjoys helping others, isn't that still a helper?

After drinking a cup of hot cocoa, Cook wisely stood up and left.

Although he signed a "contract" that most people considered involuntary, the third-level police officer of the Duo District felt inexplicably at ease.

Because, once again, someone made the decision for him.

Once again, someone protected him.

Just like his father.

Well……

No, it’s an adult!

Cook corrected his thoughts and quickly left No. 2 Kirk Street.

The Lord has given him protection, so he will naturally do his best - he will find a way to deal with James' cronies in the Duo District Police Station.

And this is not difficult.

Arthur watched Cook leave.

Arthur was quite satisfied with this subordinate.

Because, as long as the 'contract' is not revealed, there is no doubt about the other party's loyalty - and Arthur is confident that he will find similar power in the days to come to get the other party to sign a real contract.

At the same time, Arthur silently thanked [Hand of Nothingness] for his contribution.

If the [Hand of Nothingness] hadn't manipulated parchment, pens, and white phosphorus, stretched out his hand to touch his eyebrows, and used needles as punishment, he wouldn't have been able to make the 'contract' become so real.

I glanced at the XP which had been restored to 112.

The 300XP required to upgrade [Hand of Nothingness] is not out of reach.

Subconsciously, Arthur began to imagine how useful the Level 5 [Hand of Nothingness] would be.

But Arthur also understood that his [Physique] had to keep up.

And this was not difficult for Arthur.

Whether it is [Cat's Elegance. Orange] or [Silent Continuous Treading], it will improve [Physique]!

so--

‘Pan, lose your beard now! ’

Arthur was thinking in his heart, and was about to return to No. 2 Kirk Street to pet his orange cat a few times and enjoy a rare leisurely morning. When Fukin and Wu Ni on the roof suddenly fluttered their wings.

'Um? ’

Arthur immediately glanced around calmly.

Then, he saw someone who shouldn't be there at all——

The mysterious person who appeared in Kirk Street last night, but was scared away by Fokine and Wu Ni.

Although the other party had covered his whole body with a cloak last night, and now he had changed his clothes and was riding a carriage, Fu Jin and Wu Ni could still recognize each other.

With the help of [Feast for Crows], Arthur, who confirmed this, pondered in his heart.

If the mysterious person in No. 10 Clara Street died yesterday, their companions acted decisively and could still explain it by maintaining their 'dignity'.

Then the other party's second visit today is worth pondering.

Judging from the other party's escape, as well as the escape of the guy who tested Maltz and then came back with a desire for revenge, these mysterious people are definitely not from any strict and strict organization. They are most likely to have a loose alliance, and they may even be We got together temporarily because of the mission.

To put it simply, even mysterious people are also human beings, and they are also afraid of death!

Even more mysterious people are more afraid of death than ordinary people!

The other party was scared away last night and came again today.

In addition to being promised huge benefits, there must be something to rely on.

Arthur's eyes looked at the driver.

The coachman lowered the brim of his hat, but it could still be seen that his face was a little pale.

Are you injured?

There are also familiar faces nearby.

Then it shouldn't be a human being, but...

A powerful item!

Arthur was thinking in his heart, but he did not return to the room. Instead, he stood in front of the door of No. 2 Kirk Street, waiting for the carriage to stop slowly - Arthur knew very well that the other party did this on purpose. Yes, the other party was waiting for him to go out to see Cook off before suddenly coming over.

Just to see his reaction.

‘So, the power of that prop is limited, and it is probably a one-time prop!

If the other party can’t use it, then don’t use it!

Otherwise, the other party will definitely choose to come directly to the door like last night, instead of using this tactful way of pretending to be a customer and visiting No. 2 Kirk Street!

but……

The person who gave this prop to the other party was so generous! ’

Arthur sighed in his heart.

This prop cannot belong to the other party.

If so, the other party wouldn't have been able to escape in such a panic last night.

Therefore, it must have been obtained after returning last night - it is unlikely to borrow it from someone. Unless there is a direct blood relationship, such props will not be borrowed randomly.

Then it can only be someone who originally sought his 'check' who took the initiative to lend it to the other party.

In order to let the other party complete the unfinished task——

Test him!

‘Tsk, some guys are really cautious about the appearance of the descendants of the ‘Blood Marquis’ family!

However, if you are so generous to your chess pieces and don’t trick the pants off your chess pieces, then I am not a qualified ‘spiritual medium’! ’

Arthur curled his lips secretly, and he had already thought of a way to deal with it.

At this moment, the carriage stopped, and the lady sitting in the carriage stepped out after the coachman opened the door.

The other party has a good figure, a young and good-looking face, and is dressed in a light-colored leg-of-mutton-sleeved long skirt and white leather shoes, which makes the other party more playful. Therefore, the men on Kirk Street are attracted by his mere appearance. He cast his gaze involuntarily.

Then naturally, his wife pinched the soft flesh on his lower back.

There are no single men on Kirk Street; they all live in families.

Even Arthur has a girlfriend in name only.

"Excuse me, Mr. Kratos."

The other party raised the skirt, and his voice was crisp.

Arthur's face was expressionless, his eyes were cold, and his voice was filled with indifference——

"I already gave you a chance!"
