They all call me Great Master-Chapter 373 - 370 Chapter: An Unexpected Opportunity!
Peals of pleasant sound began to echo in the corridor of No. 2 Cork Street.
But just in an instant, the ringing became harsh to the ears.
Arthur, Marinda, and the Female Swordmaster looked at each other——
Where was the malice coming from?
Or to be precise...
Who bore malice toward this Female Swordmaster?
One must know that the [Warning Wind Chime] was hung by the Female Swordmaster herself.
Following the rules of using Mystic Tools, it was naturally aimed at the Female Swordmaster.
Arthur definitely harbored none, as he had adjusted his state as soon as the [Warning Wind Chime] was hung.
Marinda was also clear of suspicion, Arthur trusted his partner, who would certainly have adjusted her state.
Hence, only one possibility remained.
From outside!
It could only be someone from outside!
Instantly, Arthur narrowed his eyes and looked outside the door.
Marinda did the same.
The Female Swordmaster, momentarily astonished, saw their reactions and swiftly turned her attention to the door as well.
And about a few seconds later, a clear sound of footsteps emerged.
The visitor rang the bell at No. 2 Cork Street.
"Lord Julie?"
The person inquired softly.
"Yes, I’m here!"
The Female Swordmaster said this and went straight to open the door and walked out.
Outside stood a guard of the Countess of South Los.
The uniform and the Sword that accompanied it were unmistakable.
And that face, Arthur had seen it before.
Upon seeing the Female Swordmaster, the person immediately saluted and then handed over a note. The Female Swordmaster reached out to take it, but the blade of her great sword was quicker.
Whoosh!
The great sword swept across with a whistling sound that made one’s scalp tingle.
The pseudo guard of the Countess instantly tried to dodge, but a mysterious force appeared upon the great sword, dragging the so-called guard of the Countess forcibly into collision with the blade.
Clang!
A loud metallic sound reverberated in front of No. 2 Cork Street.
As the edge of the great sword was about to sweep past the body, this supposed guard of the Countess blocked it with a Dagger.
The edge of the great sword was stopped.
Yet the terrifying power contained in the blade was not blocked.
The pseudo guard’s Body resounded with the noise of bones breaking and tendons snapping, while he flew backward, blood spraying wildly from his mouth.
And before he had flown out even two meters, he was ’sucked’ back again.
But all this was no longer important.
What mattered was that the guard’s confidence had been struck.
He had believed his disguise was perfect.
He was not just some random replacement.
He was a genuine Spy who had grown up under the Earl of South Los, with a ’contract’ as his cover.
If this sudden event hadn’t been so crucial, he would not have taken action against the Swordsmanship Chief to distract the Earl’s attention.
But, unexpectedly, he had been discovered.
And moreover, he was discovered right from the start.
Previously...
He had likely been under surveillance all along!

The Female Swordmaster in front of him was waiting for him!
Waiting for him to transmit important information!
Waiting for him to expose himself!
Realizing this, the guard completely tore off his disguise.
The face that had been pale due to the blood loss now turned a deep shade of purple, and the body emitting cracking noises started to give off a faint stench.
At the same time, a rich Aroma of Death emanated from the guard’s Body.
"’Death Poetry Society’!"
The Female Swordmaster exclaimed lowly, her eyes filled with terrifying murderous intent.
The Female Swordsmanship Chief was aware of some minor actions by the "Death Poetry Society," but she didn’t take them to heart.
But this time it was different!
The "Death Poetry Society" had the audacity to plant a spy right beside the Lord Count!
This had crossed the line for the South Los House!
There was no holding back!
The "suction" on the massive sword had more than doubled, and her strength sky-rocketed to the extreme. The muscles on the arms of the Female Swordsmanship Chief, which were already knotted with veins, began to grotesquely swell at an alarming rate. In merely a breath’s time, their size reached a frightening 100 centimeters, and her entire figure seemed to grow taller as well.
"3 meters!"
After eyeing it for a moment, Arthur came up with a rather accurate estimate.
Then, he sized up the member of the "Death Poetry Society."
His eyes gleamed with a playful light.
Arthur swore it wasn’t intentional.
When the Female Swordsmanship Chief brought out the "Warning Wind Chime" to show her sincerity, Arthur didn’t refuse to demonstrate his own sincerity—he merely released a tiny, seemingly insignificant bit of malice to remind the Female Swordsmanship Chief that there were people outside with ill intentions.
And why were they harboring ill will?
Of course, it was because an accident had happened in South Town.
There were those who did not wish for the Female Swordsmanship Chief to be informed or to appear.
There were those who hoped to use some method to divert the Female Swordsmanship Chief’s attention.
After all, when the Countess of South Los was confined in seclusion, this Female Swordsmanship Chief could be considered the Countess’s representative.
If they could distract the Female Swordsmanship Chief, then naturally they would have diverted the Countess’s attention as well.
Arthur assured himself he merely intended to divert the Female Swordsmanship Chief’s attention a bit.
Who knew the "Death Poetry Society" would take the initiative to cooperate! Find your next read at novelbuddy
It wasn’t just cooperation at the present moment!
There was also coordination from South Town!
When Little Lisop handed over the Blood Book and the contract, Arthur knew that other powers must be hiding in South Town—it was for safety that Little Lisop would choose to do so.
Arthur was not surprised at this.
If he had enough influence, he would have also stationed people to watch over such an important place like South Town.
However, what Arthur didn’t anticipate was that the "Death Poetry Society" would be the first to emerge.
In Arthur’s original conjecture, it should have been the Old Lion of Inner Bay who should have been the first to show.
Even if the "Death Poetry Society" had a cooperation with the Old Lion of Inner Bay, at such a time it should have been the Old Lion’s "spy" who acted first.
This was not simply a matter of order.
It had to do with interests, ambition, and...
Respect!
"No way! It couldn’t be!
Could someone be acting on their own accord?
If you dare do this...
Then I will not show any mercy!"
Having grasped a crucial point, Arthur revealed a benign smile in his heart.
The Old Lion had always cast an oppressive shadow over Arthur.
Coupled with the "Death Poetry Society" occasionally appearing around the Old Lion, even after Arthur obtained the "Breath of Death" Talent, he did not dare to be careless.
But now?
Things were different!
Everything was different!
The Old Lion and the "Death Poetry Society" were not nearly as close as he had imagined!
This presented an opportunity for him!
He was going to make the "Death Poetry Society" and the Old Lion fight a good fight!
Only then would he have more time to develop!
So, Arthur, who had been standing in front of No. 2 Cork Street, made his move.
Arthur sighed softly and then took a step forward.
But his foot did not land on the ground, seemingly stepping on an invisible stair instead.
It wasn’t just one step!
Each step was the same!
Under the astonished gaze of Marinda, Arthur stepped step by step into mid-air, looking down at the "Death Poetry Society" members and the Female Swordsmanship Chief, who were separated by shock, whispering to himself—
"So that’s how it is!"
After saying this, Arthur raised his right hand and lightly tapped his index finger towards the "Death Poetry Society" member.
