They all call me master

Chapter 18 Food, following and waiting (please read~please support~)

Arthur saw the beggar!

The beggar who he gave alms to twice in a row unexpectedly came to Kirk Street and appeared opposite his house!

The other party was still holding a wooden cup from the Eivor Food Stall and a food basket from the White Rose Restaurant. He was sitting at the foot of the steps across the street, stuffing food into his mouth and twisting his neck unnaturally. It looks a little silly and a little crazy.

These are what Arthur saw through the peep mirror after quietly closing the door.

‘Is it a coincidence that the other party followed? ’

'Or did I get into trouble with someone else? ’

‘My luck won’t be so good, right? ’

Arthur thought in his heart, but his eyes did not leave the beggar.

It was the same even if the beggar had eaten and drank enough and was lying down sleeping soundly across from him.

Arthur needed more observations to confirm whether the other party's arrival was a coincidence or had an ulterior motive.

Unfortunately, he found nothing until two hours later.

Judging from the other party's behavior, he is just an ordinary beggar, no different from those beggars who come to the Shire District from other districts in South Los Angeles and will be driven away at any time.

But Arthur didn't give up.

He has considerable patience.

For this reason, he did not start cooking, but just chewed toast, drank water, and just sat behind the door.

He was prepared to play the long game.

For Arthur, who just killed a supernatural being with evil intentions yesterday, and today he killed another police chief, he must be wary of any disturbance.

Unless he wants to die.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The beggar opposite was still sound asleep.

But Arthur has gained something here.

Not about beggars.

But XP!

A supplement to the Bugle went on sale and spread throughout South Los with a speed beyond Arthur's imagination.

The reason why Arthur is so sure is because of the text prompt in front of him——

[Publish the report, your name and the so-called 'curse' attract more attention and gain a certain reputation; XP +5]

…

Most people probably don't believe the so-called 'curse' until they have seen it with their own eyes. They are just watching the excitement. However, as the true identity of the 'Axe Murderer' was revealed to me in the next supplement, that person With the help of Ms. Caesar, my reputation should have an exaggerated increase, which will bring a lot of XP! ’

Arthur was quite sure of this.

Not only because of the accumulation of two consecutive supplements and Ms. Caesar's push, but also because the true identity of the 'axe murderer' turned out to be Sheriff Lauck.

News like this is explosive and eye-catching at any time.

As long as it is published, it will cause a sensation.

However, there are pros and cons.

As one of the seven police chiefs in South Los Angeles, Laoke was killed by him. Even if there was a legitimate reason, the remaining six would probably be hostile to him.

They may even cause trouble for him.

But Arthur didn't care. If he had it to do over again, he would still do it.

After all, the other party has already made murderous intentions towards him, and if he still hesitates and hesitates to act, then he is seeking death.

Of course, Arthur knew better: with the death of Lauke, the position of Sheriff of the Shire District was vacant, which would inevitably lead to a period of turmoil.

As the Shire District, the richest and most special among the five districts of South Los Angeles, many people must be eyeing the position of Sheriff, and the energy of those people will be attracted by this position.

To put it simply, before the new Sheriff of the Shire District appeared, Arthur was quite safe except for some minor troubles that he had already arranged and could handle.

As for the Shire having a new Sheriff?

‘I hope the new Sheriff in the Shire will stay reasonably sensible! ’

Arthur thought in his heart, and added the newly obtained 5XP to [Basic Sword Skills], raising its level by another level.

[Basic Swordsmanship Level 3: Long-term practice and multiple actual battles will make your swordsmanship become dangerous. If your opponent relaxes even slightly, he will suffer a fatal blow from you. 】

…

It was another time of harmonization between body and knowledge. Arthur subconsciously wanted to draw his sword and practice, but he was unable to do this while monitoring the beggar opposite him. He could only suppress the impulse, causing his fingers to tremble continuously.

This feeling is very uncomfortable.

What makes Arthur even more uncomfortable is that this time the attributes [Physique] and [Spirituality] still have not increased.

‘The current [Basic Swordsmanship] still cannot increase [Physique] by 1.6 and [Spirituality] by 0.1? ’

Arthur, who had upgraded twice in a row but failed to increase his attribute points, did not give up. He instinctively felt that the next level of [Basic Swordsmanship] would bring him a surprise.

Subconsciously, he glanced at [Basic Swordsmanship Level 3 (0/10)], filled with anticipation.

At the same time, there are also some regrets that are not enough.

‘It’s a pity that [Talent] doesn’t have XP to add points, otherwise, there would be no need to go to such trouble! ’

Arthur glanced at [Everything Eats], [Death Intuition], and [Dark Snake. Destruction].

Not to mention [all things eat] and [death intuition].

As long as [Dark Snake.Zan] can be upgraded and gain stronger power, he will be able to do more things.

At least, there is no need to gain XP passively like in front of you.

But be more proactive!

For example: Blow up the 'White Rose Restaurant'.

It's a pity that XP has limitations, or rather...

[Everything is universal] has limitations!

So what if [All-Intelligent Food] itself advances?

You know, he just 'took' [Herc Silver Pill]!

'Herke, Herke...'

Arthur thought about this strange name in his mind and decided to collect everything about the other party as unobtrusively as possible.

Now?

Naturally, continue to follow.

Time continues to pass.

A moment before evening, the beggar who had slept all afternoon woke up and sat there blankly.

When it got dark, Arthur saw Eivor closing the stall.

Eivor, who was pushing the dining cart, was walking along Kirk Street towards Dal Lane, and happened to pass by his door. The fat boss obviously noticed the beggar sitting there, and he was about to continue moving forward while pushing the dining cart. , However, after taking two more steps, he stopped again.

Then, he turned around and bent back again.

The other party held a piece of the cheapest fried fish in his hand, broke it into two pieces, thought about it and threw the smaller piece into his mouth, and put the larger piece with the fish head in the bowl in front of the beggar. .

"Go quickly. There will be police patrols here after dark. Guys like you will be driven away and maybe even beaten a few times."

Eivor said, turned around and pushed the car forward.

But the beggar casually threw away the wooden cup and basket stained with his own filth, then followed Eivor with the broken bowl and fried fish in his mouth, as if he was simply attracted by the food, even if he was attracted by it. Eivor noticed and scolded him, but the other party didn't care at all. He only smiled stupidly. When Eivor turned around and left, he immediately followed him.

'So, what a coincidence that you followed me to Kirk Street at noon? ’

Arthur looked at the beggar walking away, still not letting down his guard.

He even began to wonder if Eivor had anything to do with the other party.

If Arthur's practice of 'involving the innocent' were known, some people would definitely accuse Arthur of being mentally ill.

But Arthur didn't care.

It was because of this 'mental illness' that he lived long enough.

Unfortunately, accidents always happen so unexpectedly.

‘Dump truck, tut! ’

Arthur curled his lips, and he swore that if he met him next time, nothing would happen to him.

Of course, it’s not just accidents like dump trucks.

There are more unexpected surprises that are unthinkable and full of coincidences!

He will save the day from danger—

As long as he has enough strength!

After all, any accident comes from lack of strength!

strength! strength! Still strength!

Arthur watched the retreating figures of Eivor and the beggar, his eyes flickering. It wasn't until the two figures disappeared that he looked at the text prompts that had been flashing since just now.

Then, his eyes were filled with surprise.
