Chapter 894: That Matter II
Regarding 'that matter', Arthur was no longer simply curious.
With deeper understanding, Arthur could ascertain that 'that matter' was related to a monumental secret, and even the current state of the world was formed because of 'that matter'.
And he had an intuition that 'that matter' was extremely important to him as well.
So if possible, Arthur had to know about 'that matter'.
After all—
It revolved around his life!
He was someone who loved peace and was amiable.
His most desired life was one with both cats and dogs, farming and drinking tea.
However, some people would always disturb him.
Even unexpected troubles would find him.
To prevent such things, the only foundation was powerful strength.
Then?
Bury those who caused him trouble into the ground.
The earth always embraces everything.
Whether right or wrong.
Once buried, one can rest in peace.
As for choosing to be a 'Blood Descendant'?
The vest is meant for times like this, isn't it?
When it was not suitable for him to appear personally, the vest was the best choice.
And what could be more suitable than the 'Blood Descendant'?
The family legacy was long-standing.
Then, it was exterminated.
Also shrouded in mystery.
It was even very likely entangled with 'that matter'.
Arthur placed particular emphasis on this.
If it wasn't entangled, it wouldn't prevent him from knowing 'that matter'.
If it was entangled, that would be even better.
It could make this matter even more straightforward.
As for the good relationship between the 'Bloodline Clan' and 'Death', the rumor that words couldn't stand?
Impossible.
Don't forget that the 'Bloodline Clan' was exterminated.
The 'Blood Descendants' had a profound hatred.
Hatred could distort a person.
And if there was enmity between the 'Bloodline Clan' and 'Death'?
That would be even better.
This rumor would become more suitable.
'Death' would certainly need such a pawn.
Of course, Arthur couldn't be sure of the exact situation, but soon Mrs. Smith's expression told Arthur that 'the Bloodline Clan' was indeed related to 'that matter'—as Kiri's paw just dropped, Mrs. Smith's face changed.
Then, the other party spoke directly.
"Ha, as expected, it's you as I remember.
How could you possibly let a former 'spoiler' off the hook so easily?
Even if the other party's family had been destroyed, leaving only one person, you would want to eradicate them completely... No, according to your habit, you would incite this 'Blood Descendant' to raise a butcher's knife against their own elders."
Mrs. Smith sneered.
However, this lady didn't refuse.
She had no reason to refuse.
From her perspective, whether it was 'Death' or the 'Blood Marquis', they were both bastards.
If a war broke out between the two, that would be excellent.
Arthur's heart skipped a beat.
The spoiler was the 'Blood Marquis'?!
This was something Arthur truly had not anticipated.
Then...
In the extermination case of the 'Bloodline Clan', what role did 'Death' play?
Arthur speculated in his heart.
As to how Mrs. Smith would inform the 'Bloodline Clan'?
Arthur wasn't worried.
Since Mrs. Smith didn't refuse, then this lady surely had a way to inform the 'Blood Descendant', as long as the 'Blood Descendant' appeared, it would be fine.
And wasn't that something he should arrange?
Thinking of this, Arthur instructed Kiri to jump down from the fountain.
"And the next two things?"
Mrs. Smith inquired.
Kiri didn't answer and chose to leave directly according to Arthur's instructions.
Of course, he didn't return to the 'Dock Bar'.
Instead, he wandered around near the Lion Palace.
Since he was discovered, it was impossible for Arthur to summon him back to his side.
In fact, if it wasn't for wanting to avoid unnecessary consumption, Arthur would have let Kiri die once.
Calling twice in a row didn't stop that Death Hound, and Mrs. Smith ended the call.
At this time, the carriage was still moving forward.
Sitting in the carriage, Mrs. Smith frowned tightly—
'Without believers, the consumption is greater than imagined.'
But soon, Mrs. Smith shook her head.
She didn't want to become Him again.
Now she was fine.
As for the rudeness of 'Death'?
She simply didn't care.
Because, she saw her husband.
Mr. Smith appeared at the street corner, running all the way over.
Looking through the car window, the two of them exchanged smiles.
Similarly, Arthur also smiled.
The unexpected good news made the abundant food in front of him even more delicious.
Although he had Miha and Yiluo as a backup plan, Arthur wouldn't mind knowing 'that matter' faster and safer if possible.
Moreover, in Arthur's speculation, Miha and Yiluo didn't have a complete understanding of 'that matter'.
He never forgot the state of the two when he met them.
In that state, who could guarantee the authenticity of the memories?
Lies aren't terrifying.
Real lies are terrifying.
Because, those who tell lies believe they are telling the truth.
This is undeniable.
It was also something Arthur absolutely didn't want to endure.
And now?
It counted as resolving a hidden danger.
With this thought, Arthur's smile became even brighter.
Appok, who had been quietly observing Arthur's expression, finally breathed a sigh of relief at this time.
Facing the subordinates sent by that lord, Appok dared not slacken at all.
He, his family's lives were in the hands of the other party.
No one would joke with their own life at stake.
"Give me another double portion of the same breakfast."
Arthur instructed in this way.
Appearing fond of the previous breakfast.
This wasn't entirely an act.
Arthur always had a preference for food.
"Leave it to me."
Appok replied and quickly walked out.
Arthur listened carefully.
He confirmed that Appok had indeed left for real; moreover, he quickly checked the private room he was in again—although Appok was introduced by Marinda, Arthur wasn't remiss in precautions.
Within a certain range, he was willing to trust Marinda.
But the people under Marinda?
Arthur maintained a degree of scrutiny.
Temptations were far too numerous.
Who could guarantee loyalty?
Once stakes reached a certain level, anything that seemed impossible would happen.
Arthur resumed his seat in the chair, pulling out the communication crystal from his bosom.
This was to contact Jimte and Kalal.
As soon as the communication crystal connected, the greetings of the two came through—
"Lord, good morning."
"Morning, judging from your tone, it seems you had a good night."
Arthur resumed his original tone and said with a smile.
"Yes, Lord.
We had an unexpected discovery.
No!
It should be an unexpected ally."
Jimte spoke gently, in a slow tone.
Kalal next to him was more straightforward.
This young Noble said directly—
"St. Joan of Arc Girls' College is planning a parade!"
