They all call me Great Master-Chapter 479 - 476 Kledos Family Motto: When acting, go all out!
A hoarse growl, like the mournful cry of an injured beast.
Paired with the unique appearance of the "Bandage Swordsman," it adds a bizarre sensation amid the chilling tone that would definitely make ordinary people burst into tears if they saw it.
Even individuals from the Mystic Side would frown upon seeing it.
When Arthur saw it, he would just remark on how good his own "acting" was.
The scene of the "Bandage Swordsman" appearing before his eyes was, of course, arranged by Arthur.
After slaying the middle-aged Mystic Side Person, Arthur manipulated the "Bandage Swordsman" to return to their temporary base, using the corpse of the middle-aged Mystic Side Person as the foundation and the "Pit of Death" hidden within the "bandages" as the base, once again activating the "Corpse Refinement Art" to resurrect the "Bandage Swordsman."
Only then did they come to Cork Street.
Although under Arthur's manipulation the "Bandage Swordsman" was quite covert, it still couldn't escape the notice of a small number of people.
That, of course, was intentional on Arthur's part.
From the moment Arthur had the "Bandage Swordsman" inform Eli to go to No. 2 Cork Street, he was laying out his plan.
The birth of the "Bandage Swordsman" was not a decision Arthur made randomly.
It was well-considered.
Firstly, Arthur needed everyone to speculate about the origins of the "Bandage Swordsman."
Once this speculation took root in the hearts of people, Arthur was ready for the next step.
For example, at this moment—
Arthur looked at the "Bandage Swordsman" with a touch of gentleness in his gaze.
A different kind of gentleness than usual.
His look was also tinged with dense anticipation.
This anticipation, when noticed by Marinda standing nearby, caused a moment of contemplation to flash through the lady's deep blue eyes.
'What is this bastard looking forward to?
No, that's not right!
With his self-control, he's actually letting his emotions show?!
Could it be about his dead parents?'
The lady instinctively thought as she looked at the "Bandage Swordsman".
It's not that she was too easily misled by others.
It was because the scene where Arthur "guided lost souls" and the origins of the "Bandage Swordsman" were deeply etched in people's minds, so much so that many would immediately guess Arthur's initial intent.
And now?
This speculation was merely being confirmed.
Arthur noticed the changes in Marinda's expression.
If Marinda was thinking this, then the rest of the worthless lot were likely thinking the same.
Suddenly, Arthur was certain in his heart.
He didn't shift his gaze from the "Bandage Swordsman," but instead chose to nod slightly and said,
"Fine."
Immediately, the "Bandage Swordsman" was taken aback, surprise filling the eyes visible outside the bandages – clearly, he hadn't expected it to be this easy.
While the "Bandage Swordsman" was still in shock, Arthur continued.
"However, you need to do something for me."
As he spoke, Arthur yawned.
A tired look started to emerge on his face, but the "Bandage Swordsman" paid no mind and let out a hoarse laugh.
"Truly worthy of being the 'Spirit Medium' from South Los!
Don't you believe in fairness?
Also, didn't you say before that you 'owe me a favor'?"
The "Bandage Swordsman" asked.
"Of course I believe in fairness — why else would I know your name?
To achieve that, I can assure you that it was not an easy task, and it is equivalent to the task I am entrusting you with!
As for owing you a favor?

Would saving them count as repaying you a favor?"
Arthur spoke earnestly and then raised his hand to point at Eli, Walsh, and Doctor Lindster lying on the ground.
The "Bandage Swordsman" was stumped once more.
After hesitating for about a few seconds, he nodded his head.
"Agreed!"
The voice of the "Bandage Swordsman" was almost squeezed through clenched teeth.
Everyone can sense the Bandage Swordsman's reluctance and discomfort with not wanting to go against the fact, but it was precisely because of such discomfort that everyone recognized the Bandage Swordsman as a person worth associating with—at least to some extent, he was truly someone to be trusted.
And this was another point that Arthur wanted.
The Bandage Swordsman, he had a significant role to play.
Naturally, he needed to be active and accepted.
Thus, watching the Bandage Swordsman's uncomfortable expression, Arthur's face took on an additional smile, and his voice became even softer.
"Our meeting was accidental, but I think such an accident isn't too bad, at least you are quite likable at times."
"Hah, detestable Spirit Medium!
Speak, what is it?"
The Bandage Swordsman didn't plan to persist any further.
But Arthur shook his head.
"I can't tell you right now!
Your strength is too weak!
When your strength has advanced further, I will tell you everything—likewise, during this period, if you run into any troubles, you can also come to me.
I'll give you an assistance discount of 20% off!"
Having said this, Arthur turned around, walked over to Marinda, and with the gesture of offering support, he took Marinda back inside No. 2 Cork Street.
Watching the door of No. 2 Cork Street close, the Bandage Swordsman hesitated for a moment.
Clearly, the Bandage Swordsman intended to inquire further.
However, ultimately, the Bandage Swordsman still abandoned such thoughts.
He hoisted Eli onto his back, grabbed Walsh and Doctor Lindster with one hand each, and strode away from Cork Street—Arthur could be certain that Eli, Walsh, and Doctor Lindster were all awake.
But the three of them still maintained the appearance of being unconscious.
Beyond the expected embarrassment, Eli did so out of caution for the stalker, while Walsh did so out of wariness towards powerful figures.
As for Doctor Lindster?
He probably wanted to resurrect his wife.
The thoughts of these three were not complex.
The thoughts of some bystanders, on the other hand, were much more intricate.
Arthur could entirely guess that these individuals wouldn't be able to sleep in the coming days.
But what did it have to do with him?
He hadn't given these individuals a higher difficulty level!
It was just ordinary difficulty, that's all.
'Sigh, if only the timing were more mature, I'd definitely make you go through a 24-episode 'The Devil's Stepmother', a 40-episode 'Where Is My Birth Mother', an 80-episode 'Don't Cry Over Divorce', and a 160-episode 'When Daughters-in-law Endure to Become Mothers-in-law'!
Unfortunately, who would have thought my heart to be so kind!'
Arthur lamented in his heart, his gaze shifting to Marinda, who remained silent.
"What's wrong?"
Arthur asked directly.
"Arthur, just how much are you hiding?"
Marinda countered directly.
"Not much, just a little bit."
Arthur said, and to make his words more persuasive, the young Spirit Medium even raised his right hand and gestured a tiny gap with his thumb and index finger.
Marinda gave a cold snort looking at this tiny gap.
An appearance of a gap it seemed, yet a universe it actually was.
The sense of urgency in the lady's heart only intensified.
'My Ritual has entered the initial stage, but my secret technique, my swordsmanship are still far behind Arthur, not to mention that bastard Arthur's frightening Talent and Bloodline!
I must hasten my pace!'
The sense of urgency that had faded just two days earlier surged back.
However, the lady was not disheartened or fatigued in the least.
Contrarily, she was full of vigor.
She stared at Arthur—
"Come back on your own in the morning!"
After speaking, the lady exhaled a ring of smoke and disappeared.
Arthur immediately let out a wry smile.
But once he confirmed that Marinda had truly left, Arthur immediately withdrew his smile, rose from his chair—
It was time to get down to business!
