As Arthur called out, the man with white hair, an elegant posture, and icy gaze whom Didian, Garcia, and Longbain had once seen, stepped out from the Shadows.
However, his gaze was not as cold as they rembered.
At this mont, the man's gaze also filled with helplessness.
"My Lord, please leave everything to .
I will handle it properly."
Grindelwald said, his eyes sweeping over Didian, Garcia, Longbain, and Sapir.
It was Sapir's first ti eting Grindelwald, and upon encountering that gaze, he tensed up imdiately, his hand involuntarily tightening around the mace.
The gaze of this white-haired man reminded Sapir of a snake.
The kind that is about to swallow a frog!
It was dangerous!
Didian, Garcia, and Longbain imdiately crowded around Sapir, taking out their weapons.
This action made Arthur cover his face.
The voice of the young 'Spirit dium' then rose slightly, saying —
"Grindelwald, you are now a 'Black Cat,' not who you were before.
So, you need to follow my rules.
Didian, Garcia, Longbain, Sapir, they an no harm, they are not enemies!"
Arthur emphasized.
Grindelwald imdiately looked perplexed.
Then, the face of the white-haired middle-aged man imdiately showed guilt.
"I'm sorry, my Lord, I've gotten used to it.
I...
will do my best to accommodate them properly."
Greenwald said, looking at Didian and her companions once more.
This ti, there was no killing intent in his gaze.
But,
it was still malevolent!
Didian and her companions could all distinctly feel the 'resentnt' in the heart of the white-haired middle-aged man.
Moreover, Didian knew where this 'resentnt' originated from.
The previous ti this white-haired middle-aged man had 'greeted' her and Garcia, his seemingly cordial deanor was mistakenly perceived by her as a pretentious attempt at recruitnt.
Thus, she had misunderstood.
It wasn't just a misunderstanding of that incident.
It had also led to the current awkward situation.
And at its core, it had been a simple greeting.
He could not have cared about her or Garcia at that mont.
Involuntarily, a sense of bitterness and regret surged in Didian's heart.
Subconsciously, the lady looked towards Arthur.
"Madam, please rest assured, Grindelwald is trustworthy.
You can trust him just as you trust .
Moreover, I assure you he will not harm you, nor will he do anything to harm you— I'm very sorry, although I would love to chat more with everyone, my ti is extrely limited.
If I get the chance, I will visit you and the others at the 'Lotus Leaf Hotel.'"
Arthur noticed the plea in Didian's eyes.
It was the distrust towards Grindelwald.
Imdiately, Arthur gave a promise.
At the sa ti, Arthur also issued a dismissal.
This dismissal was not abrupt; rather, to Didian, Garcia, Longbain, and Sapir, this was the most normal response.
Arthur's ti was valuable.
That he could spare a mont of this valuable ti to et with them was already a huge favor.
More?
Impossible.
Because they were not worthy enough.
Didian and the others consciously accepted this.
And that was why Arthur had chosen to 'act' in that manner.
It wasn't the ti-consuming process of long-term relationships that couldn't reach his stature, but rather the direct and cost-effective thod of PUA.
If it were the forr, with Didian's personality, they would probably need several adjustnts, and that too, based on a 'life-saving grace.'
Without the 'life-saving grace,' they would truly be waiting for a prolonged battle.
Longbain was in a similar situation.
Both had their weaknesses, but both also had their persistence.
So, it is not difficult, yet it's not simple either.
However, none of that matters now.
Arthur, who sat down and began to reread his books, did not look at Didian and his group again.
Grindelwald was the one the four had followed.
As he stepped out of No. 2 Cork Street, Grindelwald carefully closed the door without making a sound and then turned to face Didian and the others.
Afterward, his gaze fell on Didian.
"Do you know who dies the quickest?"
Grindelwald asked coldly.
"The conceited ones,"
said Didian, his face bitter.
"Good!
You know the answer!
I also hope you'll rember this answer firmly—and likewise, you must rember, it is only through the adults' rcy and compassion that you are able to stand here and continue speaking with .
And us?
While gathered here by the adults' rcy and compassion,
we will absolutely not allow so individuals to think they can make mistakes over and over again, relying on the adults' rcy and compassion.
Understood?"
Grindelwald's voice was as cold as his gaze at that mont.
Didian and his companions felt as if the temperature was plumting rapidly, as if their whole persons were about to freeze stiff.
No!
Not as if!
There was actual frost!
Garcia, watching the frost spread from Grindelwald's feet to in front of them and then stop, began to shiver uncontrollably.
As a novice of the 'Mystic Side,' it was his first ti witnessing such power.
"Longbain, Garcia, pass the ssages to Didian every week, and I will head to the 'Lotus Leaf Hotel' as often as possible to listen to Didian's reports.
If I fail to appear on ti, Didian, you should have Sapir deliver the ssages to No. 2 Cork Street, to a child nad rlin.
Similarly, if there is any urgent matter, Longbain, you are to co here first hand to inform rlin,"
Grindelwald instructed.
"rlin? A child?"
Sapir was taken aback.
Whether it was an illusion or not, the second son of the 'Lotus Leaf Hotel' felt that the man before him was comparing him to a child.
Such a feeling irritated Sapir.
That's right!
You are strong!
But to compare to a child?
Am I not even comparable to a child?
"Ah, perhaps it was the accidental 'Awakening' that made you feel powerful, this sudden surge of power causing you to inflate your ego, thinking yourself mighty.
But this kind of might...
Here, it's less than a child.
If you don't believe it, you might try it with rlin when you see him.
However...
If you die, don't say I didn't warn you."
Grindelwald glanced at Sapir with contempt.
Arthur had long been considering a trial against rlin.
Now, it was just the right opportunity.
As for whether rlin would be in trouble?
No, he would not.
His Uncle, Gaius, was keeping a close watch.
Following that, Grindelwald waved his hand to signal the four to leave quickly, the disdain in his manner once again making Didian and his group uneasy, yet soon after, they felt a tiny bit relieved.
Perhaps...
That was the best outco!
Arthur, watching this scene through Fujin's perspective, curved the corners of his mouth slightly.
Then, the young 'Spirit dium' took a deep breath.
This side of the show was over.
But tonight's drama was not yet over.
With a thought, Arthur's vision shifted—
At this mont, 'Glast' cloaked in a cloak, was striding toward Baron Harold's Manor.
