Hearing a "wait," Arthur couldn't help but curl his lips in secret satisfaction.
Arthur had considerable experience in how to interact with "cats".
You can't be too accommodating to a cat.
The more you cater to a cat, the more aloof it becos.
However, when you ignore a cat, that's when it tends to cling to you the most.
Ever felt like dealing with a love-scorned woman?
If so, congratulations.
Your cat definitely has a pure pedigree.
Raising a cat is like being in a relationship.
There's nothing complicated about it, as long as you can pique its curiosity and possess strategies that ensure you remain unbeaten—such were the words of Arthur's gluttonous friend who, with a proud face, told him this while continuously sipping air out of pain.
Don't misunderstand.
It wasn't a beating.
He just accidentally bumped into sothing.
It really was painful.
But the advice still held an ounce of truth.
Especially when both elents were present, Arthur believed—
The remnants of the Cat Faction from South Los had been thoroughly bested by him!
It was no use whoever ca!
After all, this was the planned strategy following the confirmation that the remnants of the Cat Faction hadn't "Ascended Step," and he himself had already achieved Entry.
Upon "seeing" the declarations of the leaders of Cat Faction.Black, Cat Faction.Raccoon, and Cat Faction Flower, Arthur understood why the Cat's Hole that had reappeared in the public eye had fragnted into four groups.
Because...
Ideology!
Aeolia punched a new stairway through the Cat's Hole.
The pride of the three others made them believe it was the doings of the Orange Cat, and they should find what belongs to them.
This search inevitably led to differences.
Ultimately, it split the entire Cat's Hole into four.
And after such division, it's very likely that the three leaders didn't succeed either.
There might have even been accidents and misunderstandings!
Arthur deduced this from the weakening influence of the Cat Faction.
Otherwise, with the pride of these three leaders, they absolutely wouldn't have allowed their younger followers to truly split the Cat's Hole into four, nor would they have allowed Cat Faction.Black to face such a disaster.
Sothing unknown must have happened.
Arthur couldn't guess what exactly occurred.
But what he could confirm was that the remnants of the Cat Faction hadn't "Ascended Step"!
This was a crucial point!
It was because of this that Arthur dared to act so boldly!
Otherwise, Arthur would have been completely honest!
After all, when cats get angry, it could be quite terrifying.
Arthur certainly didn't want to endure a couple of scratches.
With his face still sporting the earlier smile, Arthur turned around to face Lady Amanda behind him.
"What do you an by a better choice?"
The lady obviously still harbored anger, her voice raised unconsciously a lot as she spoke.
"From the first ti I contacted you, I hinted whether you wanted to reappear before the public eyes.
However, you did not respond to .
Especially when I had to use the na of 'Black Cat Faction,' you still maintained your silence.
I believe that you have made your choice.
And the na 'Black Cat Faction' will have a better choice."
Arthur began to equivocate and obscure the truth.
This was far too easy and simplistic for the young 'Spirit dium'.
And the effect?
It was particularly outstanding.
At least the fuming Lady Amanda paused, a flicker of contemplation passing through her eyes.
Clearly, the lady was thinking about the situation and words at their first eting.
And that was exactly what Arthur needed.
He needed her attention to be unfocused.
Then, Arthur continued to speak—
"Just like now, why do you think I'm asking you for the 'Cat's Nest'?"
I was telling you and your companions whether you were willing to return ho!
Yet, knowing this, you still gave the 'Cat's Nest,' does that not once again prove that you've made a better choice?"
Having said this, Arthur took a deep breath.
It seed he was adjusting his own emotions.
Then, Arthur stared at Lady Amanda.
"I don't want to sever ties."
Because I want to leave so dignity for both of us!
After all, the Cat Hole used to be my ho."
As soon as he finished speaking, a giant shadow of an Orange Cat appeared behind Arthur.
The Orange Cat stood like a human, dressed in a grey shawl, muscular, with pronounced muscles on its exposed arms; even the thick fur could not hide the bulging muscles. The face of the Orange Cat was mysteriously similar to Arthur's, especially those deep eyes, which were almost identical.
Behind the grey shawl, there was a character that only Arthur could understand—
"Spirit!"
After successfully Ascending, Arthur learned how to manipulate his energy to form a phantom.
The whole process was as simple as feeling hunger and needing to open his mouth to eat.
The birth of the phantom was completely a reflection of the inner self.
Although it could be slightly adjusted, it could not be fundantally changed.
Originally, Arthur hoped that after his Ascension, his cat phantom would be just like a real Orange Cat.
He did not want to attract attention.
Because he understood the benefits of Concealnt.
However, clearly, the 'projection of the soul' did not give Arthur that opportunity.
Of course, none of these were important.
What was important was that the mont the phantom of the Orange Cat appeared, an aura of a superior predator enveloped Lady Amanda.
Feeling this almost tangible oppression, the lady's complexion changed.
"Orange Cat?!
It's actually an Orange Cat?!
That's impossible!"
The lady murmured to herself.
This was completely different from what she had expected.
She had expected the Kledos Family was one of the original mbers of the Black Cat Faction, or rather, had inherited so of the Cat Faction's Black legacy from the scattered original Black Cat Faction.
But she had never thought that the Kledos Family would be Orange Cats!
In the Cat Faction, it was well-known that since the disappearance of the leader of the Cat Hole, the 'Golden Lion Cat' Aeolia, the 'Orange Cat' faction, which should have been the leader, had completely declined.
After all, unlike the other three factions that had the Black Cat Faction, the Raccoon Cat Group, and the Calico Group.
There were only 1-2 successors in each generation of Orange Cats.
Outwardly, it's claid to be about the legitimacy of the heirs.
But the insiders in the Cat Faction knew that every Orange Cat ate too much.
Not just food, but also resources.
And because of this overconsumption, there could only be 1-2 people per generation.
Any more than that?
There wouldn't be enough resources.
Or more precisely, they couldn't afford them.
But this also resulted in the discontinuation of generations of Orange Cats.
And it also led to the collapse and disintegration of the Cat Hole.
They all took this very seriously.
But...
Why did what should have disappeared reappear?
And what should have flourished, now perishes?
A deep sense of confusion and absurdity overwheld Lady Amanda's mind.
"Why is it impossible?
So things, if you think about them more, you will discover the clues.
But after you and your companions made new choices, perhaps even if you saw the clues, you would choose to ignore them, right?
You might not know, but I have changed the requirent to beco a mber of the 'Black Cat Faction' to 'Great Arcana Level,' I think this will make the Black Cat Faction even more deserving of its na, don't you think?"
Speaking, amidst the lady's astonished and incredulous remarks, Arthur proceeded to retract his aura, returning once again to that amiable deanor.
The young 'Spirit dium' said softly—
"Lady, do you understand?"
