They all call me Great Master-Chapter 465 - 462: The Returning People!

The voice arose from the shadows on the side of the alley.

From where Walsh stood, he could only see a vaguely outlined figure; it was impossible to distinguish the person’s features, or even their gender.

Walsh did not respond but cautiously stepped back.

In his current condition, he was utterly incapable of dealing with such an unpredictable person.

Moreover...

He suspected that the person might be one of Glast’s.

He knew too well the person he once respected.

Their favorite act was this cat-and-mouse game.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

It was partly due to their naturally malign temperament and partly to deepen the Ritual, enhancing their power—of course, at that time, he only thought their actions were noble.

Even sacred!

Walsh was sure that he had been influenced by some secret technique.

And not just once.

Otherwise, why would he be so utterly devoted?

But that was in the past.

Now?

Walsh was nothing if not cautious and careful.

Eyeing the figure in the shadows, Walsh not only stepped back step by step, but a hint of the Bone Sword also appeared in his palm.

"Young man, don’t harbor such malice.

After all, I spared your life once."

Unfortunately, the person in the shadows was not Eli.

Their words took Walsh by surprise.

"It’s you!"

Then the young member of the ’Pale Hand’ guessed who it was—the person he had met before noon, the same one to whom Glast had sent him to deliver the Messenger Stone, and the same one who had stabbed him.

Immediately, a fierce light shone in Walsh’s eyes.

The ’Bloody John’ in the shadows waved his hand.

"We are not enemies.

The stab I gave you earlier was to save you.

Otherwise, do you think you could have escaped Glast’s control?

That man is much more cunning and vicious than you think, like now—

He is targeting the doctor who just saved you.

Don’t you want to go save that doctor?"

’Bloody John’ said, pointing in a direction.

Then, he disappeared from sight.

Walsh stood there, his brows tightly knitted.

In the end, he walked directly toward that place.

It wasn’t to save the doctor; he wasn’t that noble, although the doctor had saved him to some extent, but he still knew he was going there just to mess up Glast’s plans.

And Walsh was certain that it was just another one of Glast’s subordinates who would appear there.

As for Glast himself?

He definitely wouldn’t show up here.

Because...

Even he had never seen this guy.

Buttoning up his coat, Walsh walked briskly.

From the shadows, ’Bloody John’s figure reappeared.

In the dimness, the pirate leader revealed a smile of a successful scheme.

’Ha, you bastard think you can use me as your pawn, then prepare for my revenge!

Though I still don’t know why you care so much about that thing, but...

The new guy, you must be interested in him!’

Thinking to himself, the pirate leader’s gaze turned toward the end of the alley.

That was where the ’Bandage Swordsman’ and Eli were staying.

Eli was, of course, irrelevant.

But the ’Bandage Swordsman’ was different.

For an organization like the ’Pale Hand,’ which was involved with Death and had selected the corresponding Ritual, it was impossible to give up on this resurrected swordsman.

He hadn’t thought of these things before.

It was only after the "Bandage Swordsman" had saved Walsh, and someone hinted to him, that he somewhat understood Glast’s idea—

’The "Spirit Medium" went to Caesar Manor, and this concealed "Bandage Swordsman" would definitely follow her, and you, you bastard, deliberately sent out Walsh precisely to lure this resurrected swordsman and the "Spirit Medium".’

In your plan, the "Spirit Medium" would definitely kill Walsh, who was peeping at Caesar Manor.

Such a battle would surely attract the "Bandage Swordsman," who was lingering nearby, particularly interested in and familiar with the "Spirit Medium".

This would be the perfect opportunity for your sinister move!

You finally found the "Bandage Swordsman" you had been searching for so long!

You would snatch away this resurrected swordsman!

Unfortunately…

Your scheme fell through because of that lady’s pregnancy!

The "Spirit Medium" spared Walsh because of that lady’s pregnancy.

So, you planned to use my hand instead.

Because you knew very well that I would discover your ’little trick’, thus sparing Walsh, and then, you would use the betrayed Walsh to lure the likewise betrayed "Bandage Swordsman".

Tsk tsk, such a deep-thinking fellow.’

Thinking this, the pirate leader internally gave a positive evaluation of the never-met Glast.

However, this positive evaluation did not in the slightest reduce Bloody John’s desire to kill the other.

No choice!

This kind of guy must die; otherwise, he won’t be able to sleep or eat in peace.

This pirate leader was certain that every step of his own, including intentionally missing his target, leaving a mark on Walsh, and the subsequent appearance, must have been anticipated by Glast.

Only then would Glast not appear by the river.

Only then would Glast have someone act against the doctor.

Only then, once Glast truly made a move, would he be pushed out as the scapegoat.

’You, this guy, planned everything, but you absolutely did not anticipate that someone in the shadows was watching you!’

Thinking this, the pirate leader withdrew his gaze and directly looked towards the nearby shadows.

There, a whirlwind emerged from nowhere.

The next moment, a figure appeared there.

Seeing this figure, the pirate leader immediately nodded in acknowledgment—

"Good evening, Mr. Horton.

Everything went as you anticipated.

Glast truly acted again!"

The pirate leader looked at the emerging young man, showing considerable enthusiasm.

And the young man’s face was indeed ’Horton’.

Already dead beyond death, even his ashes scattered.

But now, Horton appeared again.

Not only lively but also his strength was palpably unsettling.

"I disclosed my name because I sought cooperation, not for you to disclose everything, if possible, please call me X."

Horton coldly finished speaking, his gaze then intently fixed on the whereabouts of the "Bandage Swordsman" and Eli.

The fervent look in his eyes did not surprise the pirate leader.

Today, as he moved downstream and was stopped by him, after a brief conversation, he candidly revealed his purpose.

He wanted the "Bandage Swordsman".

And in return, he could seek revenge on Glast.

This was the content of their cooperation.

As for how Horton managed to escape from the "Spirit Medium"?

The pirate leader, despite his best efforts, was not able to find out, as the information was completely sealed off.

But who doesn’t have some means of escape?

Or who might be impersonating Horton?

The pirate leader did not care.

Because, concerning the contents of the cooperation, a contract was signed, and during the period of cooperation, it was absolutely not permitted to harm each other.

That was enough.

"Alright, my bad!

So X, what do we do next?"

As the pirate leader raised his hands high, an awkward smile appeared, and his three gold teeth gleamed under the moonlight.

Horton glanced at the pirate leader’s gold teeth and softly said—

"Follow me!"
