They all call me Great Master-Chapter 434 431: The Polecats in the Melon Field, Indistinguishable from Each Other!

There is no reason to refrain from eating the meat that's already at your lips.

However, Arthur did not rush in hastily.

No one could guarantee that Bloody John's appearance on Coconut Island and those three deserted islands was really because of the Pirate King's legacy.

It could be something else.

He needed to thoroughly investigate.

"Don't worry, just have someone keep an eye on it,"

Arthur instructed.

"Yes, my Lord.

I will inform you if there is any news,"

Said Kangsion, the Whale Slaying Sword, who bowed and then stood up to leave.

The swordsmanship competition had ended, and for Kangsion the Whale Slaying Sword, there naturally was no excuse to stay in South Los.

Staying any longer would result in being watched by the guards of the Earl of South Los.

Moreover, compared to South Los, Kangsion preferred his own Whale Island.

After Kangsion left, Arthur pondered for a moment and then raised his hand.

The General Puppet appeared in his hand.

"Master!"

The puppet swelled in the wind, and in a breath, a middle-aged man, two meters tall, dressed in a black military uniform, and with a stern face, knelt on one knee before Arthur

"You need to make a trip to Coconut Island.

I want you to thoroughly investigate the matter of Bloody John appearing at Coconut Island and watch the nearby three deserted islands carefully, remember to stay as concealed as possible,"

Arthur instructed.

Although Kangsion, the Whale Slaying Sword, always mentioned that Bloody John was interested in those three deserted islands, Arthur's caution naturally would not be confined to just those islands—this was one of the reasons why he dispatched the General Puppet.

It wasn't that he distrusted Kangsion.

With the Gift of the Sea, Kangsion ranked among the most trustworthy in Arthur's circle.

It was just that Kangsion was too opinionated.

He could be easily misled.

Therefore, Arthur sent out the General Puppet.

Of course, another reason was...

Strength!

Bloody John was an entrant, and compared to him, Kangsion was just a notch below.

This was also why Arthur did not remind Kangsion.

If Kangsion monitored Bloody John in his own way, he naturally knew how to conceal himself and save his own life.

If he were reminded and Kangsion changed his method of surveillance and was discovered?

Then Kangsion would be walking on a path to his death.

Arthur did not wish to lose Kangsion, this newly loyal subordinate.

Not just because of his Great Arcana Level strength but also because of Whale Island.

In Arthur's plans, Whale Island had become his backup supply station—if one day he could no longer stay in South Los, he would set sail, using Whale Island as a springboard to head out to sea.

"Yes, Master,"

The General Puppet nodded in agreement and got up to leave.

Arthur then handed the Mask of Concealment to the General Puppet.

Tailing, surveilling, there was nothing more practical than the Mask of Concealment that could change one's appearance.

Especially since the Mask of Concealment could also shield others' perceptions, adding an extra layer of security for hiding the General Puppet's identity.

For this 'entrant' and completely loyal subordinate, Arthur was extremely attentive.

Having donned the Mask of Concealment, the General Puppet bowed to Arthur once more, then transformed into a wispy breeze and disappeared from No. 2 Cork Street.

Looking at the empty No. 2 Cork Street, Arthur grabbed Pendragon—

"Hehehe, come, let Daddy take a whiff!"

Under the utterly disdainful gaze of Pendragon, amid shoves and nudges, Arthur directly brought his face close, continuously sniffing.

Pendragon, with a face full of despair.

Subsequently, Pendragon looked towards Kuliqi.

Kuliqi, hidden in the dark corridor, puzzledly locked eyes with Pendragon.

Pan: Did you just laugh?

Kuliqi: Ah?

Pan: You even dare to deny it!

Kuliqi: ...

After Arthur released Pendragon, the beast charged toward Kuliqi, who wore a bewildered dog-like expression. Its speed was so great that it seemed to drift as it ran.

Arthur watched the scene with a beaming smile.

Then, he stood up and walked toward the kitchen—

He hadn't forgotten that tonight he needed to make "emergency biscuits."

…

South Los, Count's Mansion.

As Granny Cullen walked from the kitchen with freshly stewed soup toward the study, Julie, towering like a little giant, stormed into the Count's Mansion. Her sizable strides halted suddenly upon seeing Granny Cullen—

"Granny, is there any midnight snack?"

The Female Swordmaster, as commanding outside as a child scratching the back of her head, asked the old woman.

"Yes, I've prepared your favorite roasted lamb leg and mushroom soup," Granny Cullen said with a smile.

"Great, thank you, Granny!"

The Female Swordmaster called out loudly and then charged toward the study once again.

Watching her departure, her massive figure so tall it leveled with the walls and even broader, Granny Cullen took the soup back to the kitchen.

The old woman knew well that the Lord Count had no time for soup now.

Julie's rushed appearance was enough to indicate that something urgent had happened.

'I hope that everyone stays safe this time,' the old woman prayed quietly.

Then, the soup intended for the Lord Count was left simmering on the charcoal stove.

The roasted lamb leg and mushroom soup for Julie were placed in a nearby thermal box.

The pies and tomato juice for Cathy, the Guard Commander, were stored in another thermal box.

And the roasted frogs, snakes, and lizards that the Head Hunter Valerie loved were tucked away in a separate kitchen corner.

And Madam Susan?

The elderly Madam Susan merely had some soup for her midnight snack.

However, unlike the Lord Count, Madam Susan opted for a vegetarian soup.

Granny Cullen remembered everyone's tastes.

She couldn't help much.

But she could ensure everyone enjoyed their favorite foods.

Considering they might deliberate late into the night, Granny Cullen eyed the ingredients, planning to make extra delicious food.

While busy in the kitchen, Julie had already reported everything about the Swordsmanship Competition to the Countess and had recommended Arthur—

"My Lady, I believe Arthur is well suited to be the leader of the '16th Staff Team.'

His skills and talent are unparalleled.

He also shows the proper respect for you, my Lady.

His assets are all here in South Los."

The Female Swordmaster's authoritative demeanor did not change even when addressing the Countess of South Los.

Hearing her Swordmaster's recommendation, the person in the high-backed chair behind the desk pushed her glasses up her nose bridge and swung her dangling legs back and forth several times before asking an elderly lady nearby in a crisp voice.

"Madam Susan, what do you think?"

The tall, slender old woman pondered for a moment then nodded slightly.

"My Lady, we might give it a try. Arthur Kredos is indeed a rare gem."

"Madam Susan, you know I wasn't talking about Arthur Kredos but another Kredos," the Countess of South Los replied, her legs under the table swinging even more vigorously.

"That old scoundrel owes me, and his grandson, it's only right," Madam Susan stated.

The well-preserved and power-blessed face still flushed with color despite her words.

Seeing this, the Countess of South Los leaped off her stool, straightened her 1.4-meter tall body, and declared loudly—

"I, Ash Bonaparte South Los, will definitely help you take your 'revenge,' Madam!"
