They all call me master

As he spoke, a look of surprise appeared on Arthur's face.

This sudden realization is not a disguise.

But what really comes to mind.

For example……

His 'mother', the descendant of Eslan.

The Golden Lion family obviously cares a lot about their family members who are living abroad.

Especially when an outstanding family member like Arthur is born, the Golden Lion family doesn't mind showing their 'sincerity' - the other party knows very well that he can feel this 'sincerity'.

‘Alvis, who goes by the pseudonym Dorn, has no such decision!

However, Alves' elder, whose status in the Golden Lion family was higher than expected, was able to react so quickly.

I just don’t know what the old lion’s reaction will be?

Most likely you are unhappy, right? ’

Arthur secretly thought.

After all, the descendants of the golden lion family protected by 'Glast' under the disguise of 'Giljik' are not from the old lion's branch.

Therefore, Arthur could completely guess the old lion's ugly face when he learned the news.

At the same time, it was also confirmed that the protected descendant also played an important role in the Golden Lion family.

Therefore, the old lion compromised.

In order to increase the reward for the champion of the 'Nan County Swordsmanship Competition', he was 'invited' to the inner bay and then identified.

If it is true, then he is the champion and gets the title and territory.

If it is false, he will die without a burial place.

Of course, the old lion also had some thoughts when giving titles and territories.

It was obvious that the old lion had no intention of actually letting him return to the Golden Lion family, but instead gave him a separate reward as an appeasement.

As for why?

The old lion is old, but the old lion has a son.

There's more than one.

Although there are occasional fights, they are all 'family matters'.

But once outsiders appear, things change.

The old lion definitely doesn't want his sons to have another talented 'competitor'.

The other group hopes to control the power of the Golden Lion Family through Arthur's competition, so it provides such full support.

‘Tsk, lions are also considered cats, right?

As the leader of the Cat Faction, it is reasonable for me to join the Golden Lion Family!

And doesn’t ‘golden lion cat’ also have the words ‘golden lion’?

Two more! ’

Arthur thought to himself.

As for joining the Golden Lion Family, with the unexpected appearance of this 'tribe', Arthur was only 10% sure of deceiving the Golden Lion Family.

And now?

An increase of 20% out of thin air!

Facing the old lion, this 'tribe' would naturally be at a disadvantage, otherwise it would be impossible for them to agree to the old lion's decision to grant him a 'title and territory'.

But what does this mean?

As long as he shows his true 'talent', the Golden Lion Family will definitely be his.

Big deal...

All the sons of the old lion were stunned.

Of course, this is the worst case scenario.

Arthur hopes that he can take over his family in an upright way!

Just like a lion!

Before that, the exploration of the foothold of ‘Glast’ must be completed.

‘I hope you can give me another 10% chance of winning! ’

Arthur thought in his heart and said in his mouth.

"The old lion is really willing to give up."

Hearing Arthur's sigh, Lady Susan shook her head.

"The old lion is not willing to give up, but must do it.

After the Earl took out the title of "Knight" as the championship reward, the old lion had to take corresponding measures even if he wanted to maintain his reputation as "Number One in South County".

He would not tolerate losing to the Earl to steal the limelight.

Moreover, this is also a good opportunity to place your own people——

Joel Koeman!

He is recognized as the strongest among the younger generation in Neiwan. His talent and strength are said to be once in a century. Although he is a commoner, he has been with the old lion since he was a child.

The old lion has said more than once that Joel Koeman will become the captain of the guard for his eldest son Gresa.

Not long ago, someone compared Arthur to Joel Koeman. "

Mrs. Susan looked at Arthur as she spoke, with a smile on her lips.

It was a kind of smile that was like watching a good show.

Obviously, in this lady's heart, the so-called Joel Coleman is far inferior to Arthur.

Arthur has heard about this Joel Koeman.

When he was at Ymir Manor, Jimt and Karar, two real nobles, told him about this person, and they were confident that he must be a favorite in the 'South County Swordsmanship Competition'.

But that's it, Arthur is still unfamiliar with Joel Koeman.

Although the other party is well-known, he is quite mysterious.

Even Jimt and Karar don't know much, but they only know that the other party escaped from an 'initiator' two years ago when he was 15 years old.

It is precisely because of this that Joel Koeman is known as the number one among the young generation in the Inner Bay.

"I'm looking forward to playing against this great Joel Koeman."

Arthur said this.

While maintaining a sense of humility, he also directly agreed to Mrs. Susan.

In response, Mrs. Susan smiled and nodded.

"Joel Koeman is most likely a thug carefully trained by the old Lions family - the Golden Lions family loves to do this kind of thing.

They like to create geniuses very much, and then, when the genius is shining brightly, they will be loyal to the old lion family members to show the honor of the family.

How bad! "

Lady Susan expressed disdain.

Then, when he looked at Arthur, a smile naturally appeared in his eyes again.

"Arthur, you agreed to the Earl's request.

Then, in the subsequent eradication of pirates, I will help you get the reward you deserve from Lord Earl - the kind that will definitely satisfy you.

At the same time, after you leave Nanlos, I will take care of Malinda and your property for you. "

After saying that, the lady got up and walked out.

Arthur followed behind and watched the other party board the carriage. After the carriage left and disappeared without a trace, he turned and returned to No. 2 Kirk Street.

‘Create talented people, make them loyal and show honor?

Hasn’t the Nanlos family been doing this all the time?

Then it was Malinda, now it's me. ’

Arthur teased himself, shrugging his shoulders.

After confirming that Mrs. Susan was the housekeeper of the Nanlos family, Arthur would never be able to simply regard her as a 'relative'.

Maybe the 'relationship' with his grandfather is still there.

But the identity of Fang Nanluosi's housekeeper is still there.

Therefore, the other party must ‘balance’ the two.

Just like the old lion uses "title and territory" to balance the conflict between himself and another force in the family.

And him?

We are also looking for a balance that allows for stable development without taking too many risks.

Everyone abides by the rules of the game.

Therefore, Arthur was at home like a duck to water.

Arthur knew this well and would not break it.

Especially when there are huge benefits too!

Arthur looked at the box on the table that contained the 'Cat Pie Orange' advanced map 'Orange Big' and the base material 'Phantom Stomach'. After careful inspection, Arthur opened the box.

The moment he opened the box and picked up the scroll recording the entry map, Arthur's eyes flashed with surprise——

‘Is this okay? ! ’
