They all call me Great Master-Chapter 298 - 295 The Competitive Spirit of the Businesswoman!

"I joined the ’South Los Swordsmanship Competition’ just for the title of ’Knight’!"

With that ’Knight’ title, I can gain access to more exclusive, secret knowledge reserved for the noble circle!"

Arthur emphasized in his heart.

However, he knew that the woman before him wouldn’t believe it.

Watching Marinda gaze intently into his eyes, observing the probing light flickering within them, Arthur said lightly,

"I have no ill intentions, nor will I harm your interests.

Don’t forget our contract!"

As for what I want to do?

"I could tell you, but you’d need to offer something of equivalent value in exchange... at least two-thirds of your worth!"

Arthur spoke with apparent seriousness, but it was all nonsense.

"Don’t you always think I have some ulterior motive?"

"Well, now I really do have a goal!

And it’s a huge one, worth two-thirds of your worth!"

"As for what it is?"

"Aren’t you good at using your imagination?"

"Then think about it yourself!"

"Anyway, I can’t think of it."

Besides, with the contract in place, I won’t harm you.

So——

’Marinda, you better think hard!

Might as well think until your hair falls out!’

Arthur thought to himself, unable to resist glancing at the top of Marinda’s hat-adorned head.

The young ’Spirit Medium’ maliciously speculated that Marinda’s habitual wearing of hats was due to her hair beginning to fall out from staying up late.

Marinda, deep in thought, noticed Arthur’s gaze.

Instantly, the lady narrowed her eyes.

"Are you also after that item?"

Then, without waiting for Arthur to speak, the lady continued,

"Although I’ve tried to overestimate the intelligence capabilities of ’Cat Faction. Hei,’ it seems I still underestimated the power of a big force hidden in the shadows.

I also spent a fortune just to learn a tiny bit about it.

Unexpectedly, Arthur, you already have precise information."

Saying this, the lady blinked her eyes.

Her deep blue eyes immediately expressed admiration.

She didn’t ask further.

Because, just as Arthur had said, this item required offering up two-thirds of her worth to know precise information.

And she couldn’t possibly do that.

Her business and future plans couldn’t support such a move.

But this didn’t mean she would give up.

The next moment, the lady said—

"Let’s compete fairly for that item!

But regardless of who ends up possessing it, we’ll need to sign another contract.

We’ll have a certain degree of usage rights, and of course, it must not harm either party’s interests, and each use must compensate the owner accordingly.

These terms can be written into the contract.

Of course, since you’re currently far ahead of me, your compensation percentage will be increased accordingly, and mine will be reduced."

Marinda said earnestly.

Arthur: ...

I was just rambling, and there really is such a thing?

And it’s also related to the ’South Los Swordsmanship Competition’?

Arthur was full of surprise inside, but outwardly, he remained composed.

Such a contract was extremely advantageous for him, and Arthur naturally had no reason to refuse. Moreover, he had inadvertently gained a very important piece of information.

He had hit the jackpot.

However, he had also ’leaked’ corresponding information, which needed to be compensated for.

Even if Marinda had ’guessed’ this herself, without his ’hints,’ how could Marinda have figured it out?

’Spirit Medium’ money is not to be owed.

So——

"Not enough!"

Arthur said.

Marinda didn’t argue.

Because, if it really was that item, it truly wasn’t enough.

The lady sighed.

"You nitpicking fellow!"

Alright, I know such news is hard to buy with money.

So, when you return to South Los, I will give you satisfying compensation—that thing is really suitable for you... Wait! Did you hear something again and deliberately bait me into this?

Just to get your hands on this item?

Ha, such a scheming man!

I shouldn’t have given you a hint before!"

Marinda was accusing Arthur.

A hint before?

The secret technique of Cat Hole or Cat Faction?

That compensation...

Related props of the Cat Hole or Cat Faction?

Arthur was delighted internally.

If it was as he guessed, then this time, his gains would far exceed his expectations.

However, Arthur sensibly did not show any odd behavior, nor did he pay attention to Marinda at that moment.

’No matter how sensible a woman is, they can become irrational when they think you’ve deceived them.

At this moment, you must learn to keep quiet.’

Old Charlie’s words, Arthur kept them in his heart and practiced them physically.

Arthur raised his hand to throw two pieces of firewood into the fire pit. When the crackling sounds began, Arthur had already slumped back into his chair as before.

Marinda, on the other hand, was so angry that her cheeks puffed up.

This lady had thought of even more at that instant.

For instance: The reason for the Kledos family appearing in South Los that she had just confirmed, was it a trap Arthur set for her?

Arthur knew that with her deeper investigation, the reason for the Kledos family’s appearance in South Los could no longer be concealed.

Rather than letting her discover it on her own, it was better to make the most use of it.

Using the joy of her ’accurate guess’, smoothly lead her into more ’guesses’.

Then, make her pay the appropriate price.

After all, she was the one who brought it up initially.

Arthur was aware that she would not deny it.

Painful!

So painful!

The joy she felt just now was equal to the pain she felt now.

Marinda felt her chest hurt.

But more than that, she was not willing to admit defeat.

"Hmph, you won this time!

But, next time I will definitely win!"

The competetive lady declared.

"Mm-hmm."

Arthur nodded repeatedly.

His expression was one of affirmation, but the slumped Arthur seemed insincere. Continue your adventure at novelbuddy

Instantly, Marinda’s fists clenched.

However, the lady knew that punching wouldn’t solve the problem.

She had already suffered a substantial loss, the first thing to do was to recover it from elsewhere.

Arthur was not an option for now.

So, she had to make those gambling mongrels of South Los bleed.

Therefore, suppressing the urge to punch Arthur in the face, the lady asked,

"I will arrange the external bets for the upcoming Swordmanship Competition, but don’t you think it’s time to change your odds?"

"Certainly, we need a change.

Facing Melvil the abnormal, and me already experiencing backlash, I’m injured once again.

Right now, I’m hurt upon hurt."

Understanding what Marinda meant, Arthur immediately laughed.

Marinda also smiled in response.

But upon remembering her losses, her smile vanished immediately.

Thus, she decided to avenge herself slightly on Arthur, to feel a bit of comfort—

Whew!

The lady took a deep puff on her pipe and heavily blew the smoke over Arthur. Seeing Arthur’s frown, she ran into the smoke with a light laugh, disappearing from sight.

"Childish!"

Arthur raised his hand to wave away the smoke, his gaze then turned towards the entrance of the gorge.

The person he was truly waiting for...

had finally arrived!
