They all call me Great Master-Chapter 405 - 402: My Strength is All Up to Your Imagination!

Where is that place?

"Riddle Master, get out of South Los!"

Arthur, lacking sleep, slumped into the chair with a listless air, obviously not in the mood to bother with Marinda.

Marinda wasn’t in a hurry either, just puffing on her pipe, then blowing out mouthfuls of smoke, mint-flavored and mixed with a hint of medicinal scent, which Arthur didn’t mind.

But that absolutely didn’t mean Arthur enjoyed being shrouded in smoke.

In fact, Marinda was someone he had too much cooperation with.

Someone else?

Arthur would definitely make them understand what ’fate’s cruel beating’ meant.

Waving away the smoke with his hand, Arthur, yawning, walked towards the "Spirit Medium Parlor," and as he turned his back to Marinda, his bleary eyes began to sharpen, while his mouth muttered indistinctly—

"The ruins in the Docklands aren’t known only to me."

He knew!

He indeed knew!

Marinda, clenching her pipe between her teeth, pursed her lips.

After dealing with Lord Bern’s three sons today, this lady felt more and more that something was off, especially after confirming that Arthur was not critically wounded and dying. She always felt that Arthur had been setting a trap for her before, and more importantly, afterward, she discovered that someone had visited that secluded beach.

Her people had not noticed, and yet someone had managed to come so close.

What did this indicate?

It meant that that group of people were definitely experts.

And with Arthur’s words at this moment.

Suddenly, a guess emerged in this lady’s mind:

’Not only did Arthur know about the ruins there before, but he also knew that others were eyeing the place. He planned to swoop in and clean up when someone plundered those ruins—this wouldn’t violate our contract, and he could gain more benefits from me!’

And this is why he was acting strange before!

He was testing if I could find out.

If I could find out, he would continue to cooperate in a friendlier manner as before.

If I couldn’t detect it, then he would choose a more direct way to cooperate.

Heh, what a bad guy!

But you underestimated me way too much, didn’t you?

Do you really think I’m that foolish?’

Thinking of this, Marinda blew more smoke towards Arthur.

The lady was somewhat annoyed.

She had been preparing in secret for so long, and to be under someone’s ’surveillance’ all this time wasn’t a good feeling, and what’s most important is that this ’surveillant’ knew even more than she did.

Annoyance and a sense of powerlessness almost made the lady kick Arthur in the rear.

However, the lady knew it wouldn’t do.

Kicking Arthur would be easy.

But dealing with the aftermath would not be so easy.

Moreover, most important of all, she felt an inexplicable admiration for Arthur in her heart.

’Always one step ahead in planning.

At ease at any time.

Such a bad guy...

It’s a pity he’s a man.’

Sighing with this thought, the lady bluntly said—

"Who else has their eyes on that place?"

Hooked!

Arthur thought to himself, then turned his head towards Marinda with a face that seemed to say, ’how could you ask such a stupid question.’

Marinda was startled, her memories rapidly replaying.

"’Storm Sword’ Deljo!"

The answer came out spontaneously.

Not only was ’Storm Sword’ Deljo a renowned ruins explorer, but the traces left near the beach that day were of a group of more than ten people but definitely not exceeding twenty, which perfectly matched Deljo’s group of adventurers.

"Damn it!

I knew the emergence of people like ’Whale Slaying Sword’ Kangsion and ’Storm Sword’ Deljo would not bode well. The ’Entry-level Atlas’ is important, but it is still not enough to attract them!

I’m going to find a way to get rid of them right now!"

Marinda cursed under her breath and turned to leave.

’Deljo has no idea that Kangsion was actually drawn here initially because of the ’Entry-level Atlas’.’

Arthur thought to himself, but of course, he couldn’t say that aloud.

The young ’Spirit Medium’ raised his hand to stop Marinda, then showed a smile.

"Don’t worry; I won’t forget what’s yours."

Marinda clearly misunderstood something.

Arthur shook his head repeatedly.

"I am well aware of your generosity, and that’s why we have always worked together."

"What is it?"

Marinda frowned.

"Kangsion is my man."

Arthur declared.

"What?

Kangsion is your man?"

"Whale Island?"

Surprise surfaced on Marinda’s face, as she stared unblinkingly at Arthur, while the young ’Spirit Medium’ gave a slight nod under the lady’s gaze.

Arthur conducted himself quite calmly.

After all, he had not lied.

Kangsion truly was his man, and Whale Island would also fly the Kledos Family’s flag following this ’public’ declaration.

He had merely ’slightly concealed’ the time Kangsion became his subordinate.

Of course, it was not his fault.

Marinda didn’t ask, did she?

Under Arthur’s scrutiny, the ’Lady of the Long Night’ furrowed her brows slightly.

Clearly, the lady was reassessing the Kledos Family once again.

"I knew the Kledos Family couldn’t have remained hidden for so many years without doing anything. The ’Whale Slaying Sword’ Kangsion is your man, and so is Whale Island.

What about the others?

What else are you hiding?

Don’t tell me the ’Storm Sword’ Deljo is also your man!"

Marinda’s voice rose involuntarily.

Arthur responded with a smile to the lady.

He certainly hadn’t said he was.

And he hadn’t said he wasn’t.

He left it all to Marinda to guess.

’My power is entirely up to your imagination!’ Arthur thought silently to himself.

Marinda, however, suddenly calmed down, eyeing Arthur with a bizarre look.

Then, that look turned into one of appreciation.

And a little...

Excitement.

After pacing twice in front of the Spirit Medium Parlor with her pipe in her mouth, Marinda finally entered the parlor and pulled out a piece of paper, writing on it—when are you planning to take action against Baron Korol and Baron Hausman?

Arthur glanced at the note and let out a cold laugh.

He then folded the note and threw it into the furnace, watching it burn to ashes before turning around.

"What’s for lunch?"

Arthur shifted the topic abruptly.

But Marinda didn’t press further.

She had gotten the answer she wanted.

What followed was naturally...

To meddle!

But that couldn’t be rushed.

Arthur’s attitude had already informed her that he wouldn’t act anytime soon.

So, she had plenty of time to prepare.

And why was Arthur so cautious and taking such a long time?

Of course, it was because of the Countess.

Marinda deeply understood this.

With that in mind, her gaze towards Arthur grew even more gentle and bright, while she said with a smirk—

"Cheese beef stew pot, mustard-flavored broccoli, 6 pounds of mixed roast pork, beef, and lamb, along with spinach egg soup and white bread.

The dessert is egg tarts.

All made by Cook Mary.

The taste is quite good."

As she spoke, Marinda walked out carrying the food.

Once the food was served, Arthur had already picked up an egg tart.

Pendragon ran over from the side, circling the table’s edge, occasionally rubbing against Arthur’s trouser leg, almost looking as if it were about to speak.

Selecting two pieces of beef, Arthur placed them into Pendragon’s cat bowl.

Throughout the process, Marinda just watched, saying nothing, only smiling.

She too once wanted a cat.

Unfortunately, she lacked the time to care for one.

Naturally, her preferred option was to stroke Pendragon at Arthur’s place.

But Marinda wasn’t rash.

She could see Pendragon’s wariness towards her.

So, after Arthur devoured his dinner and continued with his afternoon rest, she took out a handful of dried fish from a basket and placed them directly into Pendragon’s bowl.

To Marinda’s surprise, Pendragon didn’t leave Arthur’s side.

Arthur, with his back to the wall, opened one eye, revealing a smile.

’Good son!’ he praised in his heart, and naturally, actions followed suit.

At the afternoon’s ’Swordsmanship Competition,’ Arthur brought Pendragon along.

Without a cage, just holding him in his arms, he took him there directly.

However, upon seeing today’s top eight contestants, Arthur paused—

"Hm?"
