They all call me master

What does Malinda want?

This is not a difficult thing to guess.

It was mentioned in Gram's diary that there were only two secret gatherings in South Los, one was Malinda's 'Lady's Salon of the Long Night', and the other was Rat Tail Alley on Rat Street - there may be other gatherings, But for those that are not large-scale, there must be very few good things. Even if they are available, you have to try your luck.

When Malinda wiped out two large chambers of commerce and annexed more than a dozen small and medium-sized chambers of commerce, her power could be said to have expanded unprecedentedly.

So what is Malinda’s next goal?

It could only be Rat Tail Alley on Rat Street.

However, compared to those chambers of commerce, Rat Street and Rat Tail Alley, which is closely related to the mysterious side, is not so easy to deal with.

Not only does it require caution, but it also requires strength.

Even with the help of the earl.

Or……

The earl was also unwilling to start a head-on battle with Rat Tail Alley.

Therefore, Malinda offered Arthur a high price.

But such a high price is not enough for Arthur.

When she heard Arthur's words "I need more money", Malinda, who knew that Arthur had guessed his purpose, was not angry at all. Instead, she said with a smile on her face.

"As long as you don't ask me to help you find a complete set of [Swift Bird Sword Technique] or similar sword techniques, we can talk about it."

Sure enough, [Swift Bird Swordsmanship] or similar swordsmanship are monopolized by the nobles!

But what is the purpose of this blockade?

What exactly is hidden in these sword skills?

Arthur said calmly while thinking in his mind.

"I need secret techniques related to the 'Cat Faction'. Of course, if it is the mysterious knowledge and secret techniques of the 'Cat Cave' where the 'Cat Faction' originates, that would be great."

Malinda held her pipe in her mouth and glanced at Arthur one more time.

She wondered if Arthur was 'going with the flow'.

The fragrance she gave Arthur was derived from 'Cat Pie'.

At the same time, Arthur also adopted an orange cat.

Does Arthur really need these?

Or are you misleading her?

Malinda pondered in her heart, she was not sure, but she had paid attention.

At the same time, he already agreed.

"Can!"

"Although the mysterious knowledge and techniques about the 'Cat Faction' and 'Cat Cave' are rare, if you can help me eradicate Rat Tail Alley, I will give you a surprise."

Malinda promised.

Even if he misled her, she didn't care as long as Arthur got things done.

"Got to do it my way."

"At the same time, the spoils are also mine."

Arthur continued.

"Of course, everything is based on you, and you can also dispose of the loot - but again, I can't provide you with any more help."

Malinda nodded.

"fair enough."

Arthur raised his hand.

Malinda directly shook the hand.

Another collaboration between the two began.

But after that, neither of them discussed this topic again. They just chatted. Most of the topics revolved around the 'Swordsmanship Competition' after late autumn and before winter.

When it got light and there were some pedestrians on Kirk Street, the conversation came to an end.

"The Earl attaches great importance to this 'Swordsmanship Competition'."

Malinda said suddenly.

"Is it because of that old lion from Neiwan?"

"Your Majesty, the Count, is not going to break up with the other party at this time, is he?"

Arthur pretended to exclaim.

It’s no secret that the first place winner in the South Los Fencing Tournament will travel to Inner Bay to qualify for the South County Fencing Tournament!

But if the master of Nanlos directly engages in actions such as 'declaration of war', 'assassination', and 'strong verbal attacks' with the Grand Duke of the Inner Bay, and breaks the last trace of dignity on both sides, Arthur will never dare to acquire Nanlos. First place in the swordsmanship competition.

That is no different from going to die!

"of course not!"

"Although we seem to have an advantage now, in fact, this advantage is only superficial - the earl has been hiding it for so many years and he doesn't just want this."

Malinda meant something but didn't say it clearly.

Arthur knew it well and didn't ask any more questions.

What happens when a lion gets old?

It’s not just the tigress of Nanlos who is recharging her energy!

You know, the entire Nan County is huge!

Everyone is sharpening their claws and preparing to eat the old lion.

Of course, in a desperate fight, will the old lion take away one or two of the young men?

No one knows.

But no one wants to be one or two taken away.

Malinda began to bang the pipe and dumped all the ashes into Arthur's ashtray - this was prepared by old Charlie for the visiting guests. Old Charlie himself did not smoke.

‘The danger of being a psychic is that you have to observe details at all times. The smell of smoke will expose you at unnecessary moments! ’

The predecessor didn't care and secretly came into contact with tobacco.

After being discovered by Old Charlie, he started to quibble again. As a result, he was hung up and beaten by Old Charlie. Only then did he remember the so-called 'exposure' in his mind.

And Arthur?

No such education is required.

He cares about his own life more than anyone else.

After putting away the pipe, the woman began to arrange her hair - she deliberately let her short blond hair go to one side, making it look like it was pressed out by a pillow.

Then, he walked towards the door.

Picking up the ashtray, Arthur saw Malinda off.

"It's just some cigarette ashes, do you need to care so much?"

Malinda glanced.

"It's just some cigarette ashes, do you need to care so much?"

Arthur smiled in response.

Exactly the same words, but with different meanings.

Malinda thought Arthur was too german.

Arthur simply didn't want anything belonging to Malinda to appear in his residence - there was no malice, he simply felt it was dangerous.

Unless it can be completely confirmed.

For example, [Ultra Kairun Medicine].

Place the ashtray on the stand platform outside the door - the lower stand can hang visitors' umbrellas, and the upper board originally held two pots of flowers, but as old Charlie went away, the flowers withered, and then the explosion Even the flower pot was broken.

So, it was all cleared up by Arthur.

And now?

Arthur found that it was more suitable to put an ashtray or some sundries than a simple flower stand.

Walking side by side with Malinda, Arthur and the two showed intimacy under the gaze of passers-by and neighbors.

"I'll give you a surprise later!"

Just as she walked out of the fence gate of No. 2 Kirk Street, Malinda said suddenly.

Arthur was startled, and subconsciously, he thought that Malinda wanted to be more intimate with him.

At this moment, what could be more appropriate than a farewell kiss?

Arthur refused.

He was really afraid of being spit in Malinda's face.

But to Arthur's surprise, the so-called surprise did not appear until he watched the carriage Malinda was riding in disappear completely in Kirk Street.

And Malinda is not someone who makes gaffes.

Just when Arthur was guessing——

"South Los Daily! South Los Daily!"

"The Pioneer Era—the real 'psychic medium' Arthur Kratos!"

The shouts of the newsboys began to ring through the streets.

South Los Daily News!

Arthur was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his lips.

This is really a surprise!

Without hesitation, Arthur took out 6 zeros and bought a newspaper. Just when he opened the newspaper and was about to see how the South Los Daily reported him and how it was different from the Bugle, a carriage stopped at Kirk Street. In front of Gate 2.

Vonter, a young man who had met once before, jumped out of the carriage. When he saw Arthur, he said directly——

"Sir Kratos, I am here on behalf of Oak Manor, asking you to help us!"
