They all call me Great Master-Chapter 410 - 407: Different, Yet the Same!

Marinda was dumbstruck.

It was not a pretense, nor was it a performance.

She was genuinely stuck in place, dumbfounded.

The lady foolishly stared at Arthur, her heart churning ceaselessly with emotions that could not be expressed in words, filling her heart.

Arthur had previously mentioned using coal and iron mines in his plans for South Town.

Although that twenty percent of coal and iron mine business eventually turned into a trade involving "Cat Faction, Cat Cave Mystic Arts, Ritual, Props," and furthermore, since her own collection couldn't match up, she also owed Arthur a debt, the kind that included interest.

And this was still under the basis that the two were cooperating in managing that twenty percent of the mines.

But now!

Arthur had truly given her the entire South Town!

Saying is one thing, doing is another.

Saying and doing are complete opposites.

The former is elusive and boundless, which only disgusted Marinda.

But the latter?

Marinda felt the odd sensation in her heart and quickly shifted her focus.

'Doesn't he have any regrets at all?'

Marinda hoped to use more doubts to refute the feelings inside her heart.

Unfortunately, it was useless.

Because—

The answer was affirmative.

Arthur indeed had no regrets.

A moment ago, she had observed everything from start to finish.

From the beginning to the end, Arthur did not hesitate at all.

Such decisiveness, Marinda admired.

But...

'What can I use to repay him!'

Marinda felt a trace of helplessness deep inside.

Then, suddenly a doubt emerged in the lady's heart.

'He wouldn't really want to sleep with me, right?'

Instantly, Arthur perceived the meaning in the lady's eyes.

Six "Hands of Void" invisibly floating beside him all collectively flipped off the lady, even the one carrying "Atos's Box" with its little finger awkwardly hooking the box—this "Hand of Void" also flipped the bird.

Of course, Marinda could not see this.

However, Marinda could clearly understand the meaning in Arthur's eyes—

'You wish!'

'Heh, you put it down!"

'Put it down right now!"

'Once you do, I'll prove it!'

Marinda immediately responded with her gaze to Arthur.

Arthur and Marinda communicated purely with an understanding exchanged through their eyes.

However, to the onlookers around them, the situation appeared different.

The people around them felt the two were exchanging affectionate glances.

Is this what love is?

The people around couldn't help but think to themselves.

Yes, this must be love.

Otherwise, why would someone casually gift an entire territory to someone?

Especially since this territory, near South Los enriched with mineral resources, was truly a land of abundance.

Managing such a territory, the wealth it generated in a year was enough to make any noble in South Los look at it enviously.

Such wealth...

The people around couldn't help but think, but soon they started feeling ashamed.

Watching Arthur and Marinda, who only had eyes for each other, they felt they were vulgar, sinners tarnishing love, the most nonsensical people in the words of poets and writers.

'Whale Slaying Sword' Kangsion scratched his head and started moving quietly towards the tent exit.

Though there were still some things he wanted to say to Arthur, the 'Whale Slaying Sword' felt it was not the appropriate time.

Just look at the deep gazes exchanged between Arthur and Marinda.

At such a moment, how could there be room for anyone else.

The Countess's Swordsmanship Chief did the same, choosing to walk outside.

Indeed, as soon as the Countess's Swordsmanship Chief stepped out of the tent and felt the rare warm sun of a South Los winter day, her mind still felt foggy.

The shock Arthur had given her was too great.

From her birth till now, she had never met anyone like Arthur.

He was really...

Irresistibly intriguing.

Without mixing any other purpose.

She wanted to talk more with Arthur about some things that confused her.

She always felt that Arthur would give her some interesting answers from different perspectives.

Then, the Swordsmanship Chief thought of some rumors about the Kledos Family.

No!

More precisely, rumors about Old Charlie, the patriarch of the Kledos Family.

Suddenly, the Swordsmanship Chief had another idea.

However, he immediately shook his head—

"Pity! Too frail!"

The Swordsmanship Chief turned to glance at the tent, and after letting out a sigh whose meaning even he didn't grasp, he walked toward the side.

When Gold, the Swordsmanship Chief and Guard Commander of Little Lisop, and Leixide, the Head Hunter, stepped out of the tent, they did so with smiles.

This was in accordance with what the Lord had said about the 'Kind Father'.

The Kind Father, full of love and compassion.

The 'Lady of the Long Night,' notorious for her bloody carnage, must have felt this love too, right?

It would be very warm, wouldn't it?

Among all those who exited the tent, only Little Lisop had regrets in his heart.

"Father always surprises us.

But, if Father can't stay in South Town Manor, then I'll just visit South Los often."

Little Lisop would not contradict Arthur's decision.

The only thing he could change was himself.

In the tent, only Arthur and Marinda were left.

Suddenly, their actions became much bolder.

Almost simultaneously, they both raised their hands and gave each other the middle finger.

Then, they paused.

Next, they each lifted a foot, preparing to step on the other's toes.

Watching their counterparts raise their feet, they both cautiously took two steps back and opted for a more civilized approach—they simultaneously opened their mouths.

Ha, spit!

The spit they expelled crisscrossed in the air, and as they dodged, it all landed on the ground.

But the two, still in the act of spitting, frowned with their features contorted.

The image of their crisscrossing spit replayed in their minds, making them feel somewhat…

Disgusted.

The next moment—

Blargh!

Marinda let out a retching sound.

Arthur, who had also felt nauseous and almost vomited, immediately perked up.

"Come on, let's talk business.

I'm leaving South Town to you. With your skills, aside from what you must hand over, you'll still manage to earn quite a lot.

So…

What can I get in return?"

Arthur gestured with his mouth.

Their relationship had long since become one where they didn't need to beat around the bush.

A frank discussion was the most appropriate way.

"What do you want?"

Marinda, suppressing her nausea, responded.

She didn't know what to offer in return.

So she might as well hear what Arthur wanted.

"Ships and knowledge about the Mystic Side, including but not limited to secret techniques, rituals, and more."

Arthur's response made Marinda pause.

Ships, she had guessed.

She knew of Arthur's insistence on the matters of the fleet.

For that, Marinda approved.

After all, with tax exemption policies, she would be just as insistent.

But the knowledge of the Mystic Side surprised her.

With the resources of 'Cat Faction.Hei', they shouldn't be lacking in those areas.

Could it be…

Compensation for me?

This thought crossed Marinda's mind, and her heart skipped a beat, but she immediately shook her head.

"Impossible, that guy Arthur would never be so kind!"

"So, this guy must be aiming for…"

Thinking this, the lady narrowed her eyes, ground her teeth at Arthur, and said in a low voice—

"Did you plan this all along?"
