They all call me master

Arthur looked at Malinda in surprise.

Then, the young 'psychic medium' rolled his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and said in a pointing and contemptuous tone -

"If you want to pretend to be in love, you can't smoke a pipe.

If you want to pretend not to care but still care, you can't wear a hunting suit.

Even now, you are not willing to call me dear. "

As he said that, Arthur looked at Malinda with a half-smile.

Of course Arthur knew why Malinda asked him if he would be okay tomorrow.

because--

Inherit the title!

Before winter, Malinda will inherit the title of Baron Camille.

Coincidentally, it was shortly after the end of the ‘Nanlos Swordsmanship Competition’.

Malinda personally told Arthur this a long time ago, and Arthur has not forgotten it.

As for why you chose to inherit the title the day after the ‘Nanlos Swordsmanship Competition’ ended?

It has nothing to do with the ‘Nanlos Sword Competition’.

It’s related to the ‘Nanlos Sea Barrier’.

Related to the 'riots in South Town'.

The two involved most of the countess's energy, preventing her from noticing that Malinda had opened Baron Camille's secret treasure.

This is Malinda’s true purpose!

As for what happened just now?

Tsk, want to tease him?

Malinda, you still have a hundred years to go!

Arthur expressed this with his eyes.

Malinda was so angry that she took a deep drag on her pipe.

It's not that Arthur guessed wrong and broke the lady's heart.

But this lady was angry because her acting skills were not up to par - she had really planned to tease Arthur in order to avenge her 'escaping' yesterday.

But what's the result?

Failed.

This lady has considerable confidence in her acting skills.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be seen through like this.

"Sure enough, you know me too well!"

Malinda sighed, and began to think of other solutions in her heart.

Arthur glanced at it, picked up the egg tart in the food basket, and said while eating.

"Don't think about it, it's useless.

Unless you can put your arm around me and still stay calm.

otherwise……

It's all wasted effort. "

Arthur said with great certainty.

Malinda's other aspects made Arthur quite wary, but only regarding men and the series of designs, layouts, etc. that extended from it, Arthur was not worried at all.

Malinda hates men!

The kind of instinct that bursts out from deep within the body.

It cannot be concealed no matter what.

To put it simply, it is too easy to see through.

The same was true for the scene just now. Malinda must have thought about it for a long time before she came up with a way to tease him without touching him.

What a pity, he remembered that Malinda ran away yesterday.

With this woman's face-saving personality, how could she be so gentle today?

He had been on guard for a long time.

However, compared to these, what Arthur cares more about is——

"There won't be any problems with you being 'in advance' like this, right?"

Arthur has seen self-defeating things happen more than once.

Even if it was Malinda who was in charge of this matter, Arthur still needed to ask clearly.

"No, because this is arranged by the Earl!"

Malinda said with a smile in her eyes.

Arthur reacted immediately.

"My Lord Earl's arrangement?

Anyone want to make a fuss about this?

That Baron Camille wouldn't have a distant nephew suddenly appear somewhere, right? "

Arthur looked at Malinda.

Although he knew Malinda wouldn't do anything unnecessary, he still wanted to confirm.

"Don't look at me, it's the old lion who made things happen.

The news came back from the earl's secret agent, so he cut the mess so quickly. "

Facing Arthur's distrust, Malinda immediately gave Arthur a middle finger.

Arthur returned the middle finger while quickly turning in his heart.

Chance!

An opportunity to unlock the ruins near the beach!

Most of the tigress's energy was involved.

There is also the cover of Malinda inheriting the title.

Truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

However, Arthur did not take the initiative to speak.

Because, Arthur was sure that Malinda would not have thought of this - as the active developer of the ruins, Arthur did not believe that Malinda would not be tempted.

The previous 'stagnation' was just due to lack of opportunity and insufficient manpower.

In order to excavate the ruins secretly, Malinda must be cautious and will never hire professional ruins explorers in a big way.

It must be based on one's own people.

At the same time, it is also done in the name of building a warehouse or something else.

However, this progress is quite slow.

It's so slow that the warehouse or other things should be completed in the near future, and it can't be delayed any longer.

This is the first point!

There is also a more important second point——

Malinda learned from him that more people were staring there, especially the Kratos family where he was, who had already paid attention to it.

So Malinda showed up to him.

This woman wanted to complete the exploration of the ruins with the help of his professional expedition team, the 'Wind Sword' Deljo, and used this as a reason to block his mouth and get the share she deserved.

‘What a generous and cooperative woman! ’

After Arthur sighed like this in his heart, he enjoyed breakfast more and more comfortably.

Next to her, Malinda also slowly started writing with her fingers on the dining table——

beach.

Five five.

Malinda wrote stroke by stroke.

Arthur was not moved at all.

He knew that this was not Malinda's bottom line.

In fact, this is also true.

When Arthur picked up the fifth egg tart, the lady wrote on the table again——

Four six.

I invested too much upfront, and that’s the bottom line.

Although the woman wrote this, she only paused for a moment before adding another sentence.

Giving you four more brand new Kirk Galleons.

Eight ships.

Arthur wrote while holding an egg tart in one hand.

Why do not you go to hell?

Greedy bastard.

It wasn't handwritten, it was expressed with the woman's eyes.

Later, the woman wrote -

Six ships!

This is the last new boat I have available.

‘The last new ship?

That is to say, there is also...

Second hand boat! ’

Arthur began to make calculations in his heart.

Malinda heard the news about 'Bloody John' and gave him two ships. Later, she gave him a new ship because of the three sons of the Bourne family in the dock area.

Using the management rights of South Town as a bargaining chip, 8 new ships were obtained from Malinda again.

Plus now 6 new ships.

Before he knew it, he had 17 new ships, almost catching up with the fleet of 20 ships working with Malinda.

The most important thing is that these 17 brand-new Kirk sailing ships did not cost him a penny at all.

Calculated based on the cost of building a brand new Kirk sailboat, it requires 25,000 gold coins.

‘I actually unknowingly harvested this woman’s 425,000 gold coins in the past two or three days?

No wonder this woman has become a bit stingy recently. It is estimated that the ships she ordered at Nanlos Shipyard are all gone.

Forget it, just think I'm soft-hearted this time.

Who made me a young, upright, simple and kind-hearted 'spiritual medium'? ’

Sighing in his heart, Arthur reluctantly nodded.

After all, you can’t just keep picking up the wool.

What should I do if I'm bald?

It has to be raised and then harvested.

Malinda was a little surprised to see Arthur agree.

Did you agree so easily this time?

Will this guy dig another hole for me?

The lady was thinking in her heart, but then her eyes saw the empty basket——

"Asshole, you didn't leave any food for me!"
