They all call me Great Master Chapter 117 114 Everything Will Make Sense!

'The Black Cat Faction can "Necromancy".

'The Spirit dium can also "Necromance".'

'Coincidentally, this Spirit dium was extrely inclined towards the knowledge of the Cat Faction or the Cat Hole, yet this Spirit dium's family had always "Hidden Themselves" in the past.'

'The rumored Black Cat Faction just happened to vanish without a trace.'

'As pieces of information began to converge, even Arthur, the Spirit dium himself, got a bit entangled and almost suspected that he was from the Black Cat Faction.'

'Then...'

'Why not?'

'Why can't the Kledos Family be the Black Cat Faction?'

'Why can't the Kledos Family be the Black Cat Faction?'

'Why can't the Kledos Family be the original Cat Hole?'

'Because the Kledos Family is still hiding other things!'

'Using the Black Cat Faction and the Black Cat Faction to obscure the identity of the original Cat Hole, while the identity of the original Cat Hole obscures the Kledos Family itself—'

'Eternal Monster, Heir of the Rebellious Bloodline, Creator of the Twilight of the Gods, Worshipper of the Northern Gods, Master of the Blade of Chaos, Holder of Leviathan's Axe, Kledos...'

'Who says this is false?'

'Where's the proof?'

'Is there none?'

'Then it could be true!'

'Otherwise, why would I layer it in this manner?'

'This alone proves my extraordinary birth and noble bloodline.'

'Exactly!'

'This is the effect Arthur wanted: birth, bloodline!'

'In this world before us, nobles always emphasize honor and bloodline; the forr can be treated like toilet paper, but the latter is a tangible power!'

'It's a power to enjoy everything!'

'Having it and not having it, those are two different treatnts.'

'Without it, you're constantly controlled, needing to expend ten tis, a hundred tis the effort just to reach the starting point of those who have it.'

'But if you have it...'

'Look at that scroll of Silent Successive Steps!'

'That Countess produced such a level of secret technique to test him, wasn't it because she guessed he might be from the Black Cat Faction or Black Cat Faction?'

'As long as he keeps it up, will the Countess be stingy?'

'Of course not!'

'What she's facing is the legacy of the esteed Cat Faction.'

'Any petty move would only bring sha to the South Los House.'

'If he maneuvers properly, revealing just a tiny bit of his Cat Hole identity, he could gain even more benefits—the Countess of South Los is indeed short of people.'

'But now the key point is—'

'Danger!'

'The identity of the Cat Faction is useful.'

'But the risk coexists with the rewards.'

'He must control the extent carefully.'

Lv5 Bluff began to flicker.'

Sitting in the chair, Arthur looked down at Marinda, then—'

'"ow~"

Marinda imdiately sat up, her eyes intensely fixed on Arthur.'

'"Are you really—?"'

'"I thought you were your grandfather, you should be the heir!"'

Before Marinda could finish, Arthur laughed, raised his hand and gestured a thumbs up, and said in an admiring tone.

'"Miss Caesar, you truly possess a remarkable imagination, calling it boundless wouldn't be an exaggeration—if you decide to write a novel, it would surely be a bestseller!

'By the way, if you really decide to write a novel, I will be your first reader."

Arthur said, then smiled at Marinda.

'Even if he had to utilize the identities of the Cat Faction and the Cat Hole, he could not just straightforwardly admit it; it had to be seamless and cautious.'

Marinda frowned.'

'"Are you deceiving ?!"'

'"No!"'

'"I just felt you were so serious, I was simply playing along—no harm intended, I swear!"'

Arthur laughed, even raising his left hand in a theatrical manner.'

Marinda angrily gave a middle finger, with the tobacco in her pipe turning bright red due to her rapid breathing.

This lady was very angry.

But Arthur didn't care.

Because it was very likely that she was just pretending.

Indeed, that was the case.

Just a few minutes later, upon realizing that Arthur was completely unmoved and had already picked up "Silent Successive Steps" to read, Marinda returned to normal.

The lady, with a pipe in her mouth and her hands cushioning the back of her head, asked vaguely.

"Is your family really not part of the 'Black Cat Faction'? Or 'Cat Faction. Black'?"

"Yes."

"My family is not only part of the 'Black Cat Faction' but is also the sole heir of 'Cat Faction. Black,' and even possesses the legacy of the original 'Cat Hole'—do you want to see the roar of the Golden Lion Cat?"

Arthur didn't even lift his head, responding in a perfunctory manner.

Marinda felt this indifference and imdiately snorted coldly.

"Humph, a man full of lies."

"Ah yes, right!"

"You're right about everything!"

Arthur beca even more perfunctory. Marinda turned away, no longer looking at Arthur—she knew she couldn't get anything more out of him.

Her partner was tougher to deal with than she had imagined.

From her borrowing "Silent Successive Steps" to describing the history of the 'Cat Hole' and 'Cat Faction,' her partner hadn't shown any sign of peculiarity.

It seed like he had no connection with her whatsoever.

But...

Having 'Necromancy' and a leaning toward Cat Faction and Cat Hole knowledge. Was it really such a coincidence?

In her chaotic thoughts, Marinda's breathing gradually evened out.

Arthur quietly moved the candlestick and adjusted the kerosene lamp so that Marinda's position beca dimr, more conducive to sleep.

Then, as Arthur returned to his chair, he activated the "Shadow Concealnt" trait of "Dark Serpent. Crippled"—the Spirit dium Parlor wasn't large. From that corner to the desk was rely three steps away.

The ti for three steps, less than a second.

Arthur had silently returned to his chair and picked up "Silent Successive Steps" again.

Marinda, with her back to Arthur, suddenly opened her eyes.

Her breathing remained steady.

But her eyes were exceptionally bright.

'Still claiming it's not!'

'It was just the 'Silence' from 'Silent Successive Steps'!'

'He clearly has already mastered 'Silent Successive Steps,' yet he still pretends as if he's just starting a Cat Faction ritual—what a cunning fellow!'

'However, this is only to my advantage!'

In the dim light, Marinda's lips curled slightly upward.

This lady felt a sense of accomplishnt at discovering soone else's secret—especially when that secret was Arthur's, her accomplishnt was even greater.

Afterwards, this lady contemplated further plans in her mind, considering how much the success rate could increase with Arthur's involvent.

Then her breathing evened out.

With a slight snore.

'This ti, she must be really asleep!' Arthur thought silently to himself as he flipped through the arcane scrolls in his hand.

How to subtly utilize the identity of the 'Cat Faction,' Arthur was just considering this until he suddenly ca up with an idea while browsing "Silent Successive Steps."

'Silent Successive Steps,' one of the core mystical arts of Cat Hole, is divided into two parts—Silence, which allows silent movent and attack, and Continuous Step, which ans ignoring terrain and leaping swiftly.

Combined, these create the 'Silent Successive Steps' that every assassin dreams of.

While Arthur could not achieve silent attacks or swift terrain-defying leaps, he could execute silent movents.

And not through 'Stealth' skills, but through the 'Talent' from the 'Dark Serpent' Bloodline, which is very similar to the effect described in 'Silent Successive Steps.'

Moreover, with Marinda turning her back to him and only three steps away, Arthur was quite confident in bluffing his way through.

The result was naturally good, but Arthur didn't get careless.

He knew this was just deceit.. no, it was the 'first step of hiding his real identity.'

Next was the crucial part.

Because it wouldn't just involve Marinda then.

Therefore, he must have more elents matching the 'Cat Faction' and 'Cat Hole.'

Thinking of this, Arthur took out a scroll of 'Cat Faction' mystical arts from the box.

Afterwards, joy appeared in his eyes.
