They all call me Great Master-Chapter 217 - 214: Baptism of Fresh Blood!

The carriage breezed down Garden Street amidst the twilight glow of the dusk, casting a ruddy hue on the round-faced girl’s cheeks and making her appear even more full of vitality.

However, in the deep black pools of the girl’s eyes, there was nothing but a lack of confidence.

"But, but I can’t do it."

Linda said in a low voice.

"Why not?"

Arthur asked with a smile.

"I don’t have Edith’s charm, nor her organizational skills, and she can stir people’s hearts with her words, something I’m incapable of."

Linda said, growing even less confident.

Arthur just smiled and shook his head.

"Where does Edith’s charm come from?

Is it her looks or the power of the Bernice family?

Considering she’s always veiled, the former probably accounts for less than a tenth, it’s the latter that’s the real source of her charm!

And the Camille family is in no way inferior to the Bernice family!

As for organizational skills?

It’s nothing more than the facade of being mysterious and unconventional that attracts those young people seeking ’something different.’

Even her constant veiling is likely the same.

But for you, Linda, this is a piece of cake, for she is just sham, while we are the real deal.

As for stirring up the public?

Ha."

At that, the young ’Spirit Medium’ laughed, his smile full of scorn.

He said with absolute certainty in a gentle tone—

"If it were not for the honor of our own bloodline, as ’Kledos Family’ bloodline heirs, we could easily incite rebellion time and again, even bringing a nation to ruin."

Having said that, the young ’Spirit Medium’ once again looked at the girl.

"So what are you worried about?

You don’t need to worry about these things at all!

Don’t forget!

I will help you!"

By the time Arthur spoke the last sentence, Linda had already nodded in agreement.

More than Arthur’s analysis of those three points, what Linda cared most about was that Arthur would help her— in the girl’s eyes, as long as Arthur was willing to help, the endeavor was bound to succeed.

And Arthur was quite pleased with Linda’s reaction.

The Jody, White, Sharp, Bacon families?

Just four families, how could that be enough!

What he wanted was all of them!

He wanted all the heirs of these more than thirty merchants to become his people.

Only then could the ’Exchange’ take a big step forward.

Of course, Arthur hadn’t deceived Linda.

These people in her hands would become her shield, her spear.

And so, as a member of the ’Kledos Family’, ’borrowing them for a bit’ should be acceptable, right?

Like one big, loving family, that’s hardly excessive.

Therefore, in the more than half an hour that followed, Arthur explained in detail to Linda the scenarios that could arise, and at the end, he summarized—

"News about Edith will quickly spread through the entire circle, and Linda, what you need to do at that time is to send out invitations to these people via carrier pigeon.

You need to show your strength and establish authority.

At the same time, you also need to share something that will pique their curiosity.

For example...

The once ’Blood Marquis,’ now the ’Blood Descendants.’"

To better control this ’little circle,’ Arthur informed Linda of some covert matters.

"What if someone asks about us?"

Linda inquired further.

"The reputation of the ’Kledos Family’ is not something they are privileged to hear; you must sternly warn anyone who asks this question," Arthur said nonchalantly.

The establishment of authority was not only something Linda needed.

He needed it too.

’Is my bloodline that special?

Yes, indeed!

""

"Only such a special bloodline could possess an outstanding heir like Arthur!"

Listening to Arthur’s indifferent words, Linda couldn’t help but feel pride swelling in her heart.

The young girl nodded her head resolutely.

"Understood."

"Then let’s go meet with that ’Pigeon Breeder’ now." Enjoy exclusive chapters from novelbuddy

Arthur stood up and walked down from the already halted police carriage, heading towards No. 99 Garden Street.

Linda naturally followed closely behind.

Many people witnessed this scene.

The clever ones had already guessed what the young ’Spirit Medium’ intended to do.

For instance, Arthur’s collaborator, Ms. Marinda.

At this, the lady just chuckled softly, not offering any opinion.

In her eyes, this was what Arthur deserved.

Of course, there were others filled with envy and hate.

For example, the new leader of Rat Tail Alley, Harris, almost gnashed his teeth to pieces.

He dreamt of organizing such a force to secure a place for himself in South Los.

Unfortunately...

The background of Rat Tail Alley made most people avoid him like the plague.

However, he still had a chance!

If he could just get through this difficult time, he would obtain what he had never even dared to dream of.

’Kledos, Caesar, for the sake of my great endeavor, the two of you must die!’

Sitting in a dark room, the new leader of the Rat Tail Alley became increasingly ferocious.

As for Arthur, who walked into No. 99 Garden Street, he had already clearly sensed these peering eyes and even guessed where they were coming from.

The young ’Spirit Medium’ slightly lowered his eyes, concealing the smile within them.

’All eyes are on me, making Fujin all the safer.’

As darkness completely enveloped the sky, Fujin had already left No. 2 Cork Street with an Exquisite Human Puppet and the corresponding equipment in hand.

With the Bell Ringer’s exposure, Arthur knew well that the operation targeting the ’Blood Descendant’ was about to begin.

How could Auburn, as a ’Blood Descendant,’ not make an appearance?

And, of course, it had to be in a way that no one could ever imagine.

So, Arthur took a slight risk.

Upon entering No. 99 Garden Street and introducing Tarite and Linda, he placed Atos’s Box on one side of the balcony.

Wuni snatched up Atos’s Box and flew into the night sky.

Creating a Blood Bat from an Exquisite Human Puppet was impossible without gold.

Thankfully, Arthur could breathe a sigh of relief that Atos’s Box already contained 2,000 Gold Coins prepared by Alberts’s Uncle Roschek.

’This should be enough, right?’

Arthur mused inwardly, beginning to switch perspectives.

With Fujin scouting, Auburn, as a ’Blood Descendant,’ confirmed that there was no one peeping around before he tucked the Emperor’s Drum. Pseudo into his chest and put on the Blood of Doting and the Blood Bat Ring, using the Exquisite Human Puppet’s Transfiguration as a disguise.

"The night is always wonderful," spoke the ’Blood Descendant’ in a low, hoarse voice, hopeful that the Blood of Doting would bluff the Blood Bat Ring.

He lowered his head, watching the blood-red eyes of the Blood Bat Ring begin to flicker.

For safety, 2,000 Gold Coins had already been laid out at his feet.

The next moment, the ’Blood Descendant’s’ own ’Fresh Blood’ began to drain away.

When a third of the ’Blood Descendant’s’ blood had been drained, a crimson light appeared in front of him.

The light grew from dim to bright in just one breath.

And after half of the blood had drained away, a portal ten meters in diameter began to emerge.

The next moment—

A massive figure burst forth from the portal with a whoosh and stopped beside the ’Blood Descendant.’ When the ’Blood Descendant’ raised his hand, the giant creature affectionately rubbed its head against him.

Blood-red eyes glanced over the massive beast under the moonlight.

Spiny bat wings, talons like a tenfold enlarged eagle’s claws, legs as thick as a rhino’s with every single hair standing like a Sharp Dagger, a long but bent Body covered with bone after bone, as if wearing an armor made entirely of bones, and four fangs as thick as a man’s thigh protruding from its mouth, making the Blood Bat all the more fierce and terrifying.

The ’Blood Descendant’ picked up Atos’s Box again, securing the remaining 1,883 Gold Coins inside—without a doubt, the Blood of Doting had successfully bluffed the Blood Bat Ring.

However, the ’Blood Descendant’ knew all too well that there would be many uses for money that night.

Once again going over the plan in his mind, the ’Blood Descendant’ leaped onto the back of the giant beast.

Instantly, the Blood Bat took flight.

Amidst the sound of flapping wings, another declaration was made by the ’Blood Descendant’—

"Let blood! For us! Conduct the sacred Baptism!"
