After the banquet, Brule returned to his room early.
Agitated, he waved away the maid he had once dearly loved, and the second businessman of South Los began pacing around the room.
But the more he paced, the more agitated Brule beca and...
Fear!
Yes, fear!
After discovering that he had beco the "Year Pig," the second businessman of South Los panicked.
Especially when he thought of the bloody thods of the "Lady of the Eternal Night," his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
It was only at this mont that Brule realized how foolish he had been before.
He had almost lost his life because of his greed!
Once his mind started to understand, the second businessman of South Los made a decision.
He was going to confront soone.
Of course, not the "Lady of the Eternal Night."
She was too ruthless and bloody.
The second businessman of South Los chose Arthur as the person to confront.
Compared to the ruthless and bloody "Lady of the Eternal Night," the gentle South Los "Spirit dium" seed easier to deal with—at least in Brule's eyes.
So, the second businessman of South Los had been waiting.
Waiting for the opportunity to et with Arthur alone.
And now, the opportunity had co.
The "Lady of the Eternal Night" had gone to the kitchen.
Apparently, she was hungry.
Do "Pregnant Won" really get hungry that easily?
The news of the "Lady of the Eternal Night" being pregnant had already spread unknowingly.
Although it was still a private circulation, those who needed to know had already known.
And those who shouldn't know?
They would never know.
Because of this, Brule chose to confront Arthur.
The second businessman of South Los believed that Arthur had enough influence in front of the "Lady of the Eternal Night."
After knocking, the second businessman of South Los anxiously waited.
"Please co in."
The voice of the South Los "Spirit dium" rang out.
Soon after, the door was opened.
And the mont the door opened, the second businessman of South Los saw Ms. Anna opening the door and couldn't help but scream out loud—
"Aaaaah!"
Such a scream naturally drew onlookers.
Observers of the title inheritance ceremony were awakened and walked out of their rooms.
The manor's servants and guards were imdiately on the scene.
Edwin, acting as the coachman, rushed over with a gun in one hand and a sword in the other.
When he saw Ms. Anna, Edwin narrowed his eyes and gave Brule a disdainful look.
Among all the people, only Fengter was the most direct—
"As a guest of the host, you don't recognize Ms. Anna? That's really rude."
With Fengter's remark, the doubtful looks of the people around imdiately changed.
They all looked at Brule with contempt.
Regardless of whether they were scared by Ms. Anna just now, at this mont, they definitely needed to appear calm. And how to show calm?
Naturally, by giving Brule disdainful looks.
Fengter did not join them, the young heir moved next to Ms. Anna.
"Good morning, Ms. Anna."
Although the day had not completely dawned, greeting her with a good morning was not out of place.
Then, the young heir was ready to tentatively ask Ms. Anna's opinion about the other puppets—as he usually did.
But today was different—
"Good morning, Fengter."
The gentle female voice made the young heir freeze.
The young heir stared blankly at Ms. Anna.
Then, ecstasy.
The feeling of joy was almost tangible.
Ms. Anna felt offended, and a faint displeasure appeared on the puppet's face.
At that mont, Arthur's voice ca from behind.
"Anna, pour two cups of clear tea for Mr. Brule and ."
"And bring so sweet snacks too," Arthur instructed.
"Yes, Arthur."
Ms. Anna headed straight to the kitchen, as the people around parted way for her as if avoiding a venomous snake.
The previously hidden unease resurfaced at this mont, now accompanied by an undeniable sense of fear.
Fengter was different though.
The heir of the Doyle family was shaking with excitent by now.
He then chased after Ms. Anna.
"Wait for , Ms. Anna!"
Hearing such a call, Ms. Anna's pace involuntarily quickened.
And the looks Fengter received from those around him beca quite strange.
It was a bizarre mix of admiration.
In any case, it was complicated.
Arthur was much more straightforward—
"Pervert, huh!
Fengter, you're a pervert, aren't you!"
The young "spirit dium" muttered in his heart as he looked towards Brule.
Now, Brule looked stiff-faced and upset.
Why did he have to scream?
How could he forget about the "Puppet" from the South Los spirit dium?
"Damn it!
Damn it!
You stupid pig!" Brule cursed himself.
If possible, the second rchant of South Los wished he could slap himself.
Because—
This second rchant of South Los had just severed his own, possibly sole, escape route.
The reason he had confronted Arthur was that he thought Arthur appeared more amiable and would not take imdiate action like Marinda would.
This gave the second rchant of South Los ti.
Ti to swear allegiance to Inner Bay.
It wasn't he who sought out Inner Bay, but soone from Inner Bay who contacted him.
To achieve the forr, Brule knew he wasn't qualified.
So when the latter happened, Brule ticulously seized it.
He seized it.
Not seized it.
Because of greed.
Brule wanted more.
But now, all that was gone.
Brule knew, once his midnight visit to the South Los spirit dium was exposed, the envoy from Inner Bay would imdiately abandon him.
And such exposure...
Was inevitable!
The scoundrels present would definitely spread the news.
Especially those who had co to Caesar Manor with him, those who were utterly respectful, they were surely the most enthusiastic about spreading it.
These rascals coveted his position.
Just as he had once coveted the Bernice family, Coste Comrce, and Emmond Comrce.
He had waited for years, for that opportunity to pounce viciously and tear into that sweet flesh.
Was he now to beco the next Bernice family, Coste Comrce, or Emmond Comrce?
No!
Never!
My life cannot end like this!
With this thought, the second rchant of South Los collapsed to the floor, shouting.
"Lord Kledos, soone from Inner Bay has contacted , intending to harm Miss Caesar!"
Arthur, sitting there playing with Pendragon, didn't even look up but casually asked—
"What else?"
