They all call me Great Master-Chapter 448 445: The Bloodline of the Barbarian!

Desa's act of kneeling on one knee had everyone in the hall bewildered.

Desa's respectful greeting made the already bewildered people in the hall start to buzz.

What was going on?

What had happened?

Why would that barbarian woman's servant pay homage and give a servant's bow to the 'Spirit Medium' of South Los?

Confusion arose in everyone's minds.

Baron Korol and Baron Hausman's Swordsmanship Chief looked at Arthur with an added hint of apprehension in their eyes; no one understood Desa's strength better than they did, nor did anyone grasp the terror of that barbarian woman more clearly. If it wasn't for their earlier missteps, opting to give up titles and honors, even the Old Earl of South Los wouldn't have been able to shake the family's prestige in Barny.

Even after renouncing titles and honors, the current Lord Laurie still remained a servant to that family.

This strategy, akin to changing the soup but not the medicine, had initially gained everyone's approval.

Because everyone understood this was the best outcome.

After all, the nickname 'Barbarian' for the Selina Clan was not a jest — it was real, with barbarian bloodline in their veins, no one wanted to witness an enemy leap forward only to land and let out a terrifying scream, followed by an inciting dance of death.

That could indeed end in actual death!

And not just one person's demise—several!

Lord Bern's elderly butler wore a troubled expression.

Just moments before, this butler had been feeling somewhat schadenfreude, well aware of where the 'accidents' involving his family's three young masters stemmed from; hence, he harbored animosity towards Marinda, and naturally, towards her lover Arthur as well.

He had been ready to witness a bloody spectacle.

Given the Selina Clan's way of acting, it would certainly have occurred.

Who could have predicted that the other party would suddenly kneel and address him as young master!

This, this...

What should be done?

The elderly butler was plunged into thought, unsure of what to do next.

Lords Ernest, Dibwa, and Bass—his three nephews—were caught by surprise.

Being nobles of South Los, they of course understood the weight of the Selina Clan; had it not been for their voluntary relinquishment of titles and glory, the other would have been the rightful replacement for 'Viscount Primo'.

'The Kledos Family, huh?'

The three muttered to themselves in their hearts.

Meanwhile, Little Lisop appeared completely nonchalant, as if expecting such behavior.

In Little Lisop's heart, the 'Kind Father' should naturally behave this way, and the Kledos Family that had the 'Kind Father' should naturally be of this stature.

Fengter felt a sudden realization in his heart.

The young man couldn't help but glance at his elderly butler.

It was not until now that the young man truly admired his elderly butler's foresight.

'My elder brother, indeed, possesses such power!

Is this the Kledos Family that has been concealing itself in South Los for so many years?

It is indeed formidable!

Lucky for me, I got to know elder brother beforehand!'

A wave of relief washed over the young man.

Kuke, Scott, Wiggins, and Haywood, upon seeing Desa kneeling on one knee, exchanged a knowing look before sitting back down in unison.

Maltz even sported a smile as he clapped his friend Bob on the shoulder.

This Police Chief conveyed a message with his eyes to his friend—

'Do you understand now? This is the power Arthur holds.'

Bob nodded subtly.

Although his friend had always spoken of Arthur's miracles and the strength of the Kledos Family, this former Daredevil Team leader still harbored doubts.

Even as Arthur demonstrated his power, these doubts lingered— throughout the long history of South County, there were not without instances of someone unexpectedly gaining immense power through a fortuitous event.

Though rare, it did occur.

This Daredevil Team leader had similar doubts about Arthur.

However, seeing Desa kneeling, this Daredevil Team leader's doubts completely dissipated.

To make a noble with a long history perform a servant's bow wasn't just the work of sudden power, it required a long history and interactions to prompt such an effect.

'It's really quite thrilling!'

Bob couldn't help but look at the figure sitting there, maintaining a calm smile from beginning to end.

He could palpably sense the hidden ambition behind that façade.

Because of this, he remained vigilant.

It wasn't that he despised ambition, but he was wary of the ambition harbored by the ignorant.

He certainly did not want himself and his old friend to be dragged into the Abyss.

But now it seemed...

it might be worth trying a bit more.

Thinking this, the captain of the Daredevil Team sat back down next to Arthur with his old friend.

On the second floor, through that narrow door crack, Marinda and Linda saw everything.

In fact, when Desa stood up, Marinda had already been watching him closely.

Marinda was certainly aware of the reputation of the Selina Clan.

However, just as importantly, this lady was also well aware of how crucial the current inheritance ceremony was for her.

Therefore, the lady had resolved that if Desa really dared to cause trouble, she would eliminate him and then declare war directly against the Selina Clan.

Barbarians are frightful, prompting people to avoid them by a wide margin.

But her sword was also exceptionally sharp.

What happened afterward, however, was somewhat unexpected.

Watching Desa kneel on one knee, calling out "Young Master Arthur," the lady was initially stunned, but then she immediately understood what was happening.

"This bastard is showing off,

declaring to everyone in South Los that I, Arthur Kledos, am officially taking the stage!

This guy actually used my inheritance ceremony as his stage, hmm."

Marinda muttered to herself, even snorting several times to express her dissatisfaction.

However, her eyes were filled with amusement.

She and Arthur were now in the same boat, and the stronger the power Arthur displayed, the more advantageous it was for her.

Stealing the spotlight?

Absent.

As per their plan, no one could steal her spotlight.

"Wait, hold on!

Foll𝑜w current novℯls on ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm.

Could this guy be laying the groundwork for that plan?"

Marinda frowned as she thought about it.

The lady thought it over carefully and it did indeed seem to be the case.

To make the Swordsmanship Chief, representing the Countess, believe her "proactiveness," Arthur's prior performance was definitely sufficient, but adding this current scene would make it utterly flawless.

"So many tricks up his sleeve!"

The lady curled her lip.

She even suspected that Arthur was the reincarnation of a wasp's nest, with eyes all over his heart.

Seeing Marinda curl her lip, Linda, who was beside her, was terrified. Ever since Marinda started humming coldly, and then to her frowning, Linda had been extremely anxious.

Now, she even thought Marinda was truly angry.

Thus, the young girl whispered immediately―

"Sister Marinda, don't be angry. Arthur definitely didn't do it on purpose. He must really like you, that's why he chose to do this. We can wait and see how things unfold."

Like me?

Hmm, he definitely likes my money, collections, fleets, companies, islands!

Marinda complained inwardly, but she showed a smile to the "Little Angel" in front of her, who obviously grew up outside and had not fully embraced the Kledos family's education.

"I'm not angry. These titles are just a little secret between the two of us.

And what comes next will definitely be exciting.

Arthur, that naughty fellow, will not waste such a good stage."

Marinda said with a light laugh.

Linda, however, was completely flustered.

Rude titles? Secrets!

Would she get physical when excited?

Is this what adults call "spice"?

Linda was greatly shocked.

But immediately, Linda's attention was caught by something happening below.

Desa stood up at a smile from Arthur.

Then, he shouted to the outside―

"Bring it up!"
