They all call me master.

Chapter 677 Dirty Honor!
After a "wait", a sincere smile appeared on the slightly square face of the Marquis of West Berlin, and even his well-trimmed brown beard curled upwards.

Arthur cooperated and showed a puzzled expression.

After seeing this doubt, the Marquis of West Berlin immediately said seriously:

"I'm sorry, Kratos!
Some things that no one wants to see happened before, so I have to be extra careful. "

As he spoke, the West Berlin master bowed slightly.

Arthur looked surprised as he listened to the West Berlin Marquis talking nonsense.

It's completely natural, the young 'medium' asked subconsciously.

"Can you tell me what it is?"

“It’s the ‘Church of Pain’!
That bastard always uses these methods of 'hostage' and 'disguise' to make me anxious.

Not only the people in my territory, but even my daughter has suffered this kind of "hostage", so she has become so miserable.

The original Catherine was a good girl. "

After completely exonerating himself with words, a look of pain appeared on the face of the Marquis of West Berlin.

If you can't kill the other person, then don't fight.

And conflicts that have already occurred should be treated as accidents.

If it can't be an accident, blame it on someone else.

This West Berlin host apparently did just that.

And Arthur?
It’s natural to go with the flow.

The young 'medium' nodded in understanding.

“So that’s it.

No wonder there was something wrong with that young lady.

I'm sorry, Your Excellency, it was Auburn who was impulsive."

As he spoke, the young 'medium' also bowed slightly.

"Please don't do this. The fault lies with me. It was my negligence that gave the Church of Pain an opportunity to take advantage of me. Especially since the emergence of the Inland River Church, I am exhausted from dealing with it."

The West Berlin Marquis looked ashamed.

However, the message in the words could not be more obvious.

The West Berlin master was of course aware of Arthur's entanglement with the 'Inland River Church'.

As for the 'Church of Pain'?
That's even more obvious.

“It turns out you’ve also been troubled by those fake guys.

In fact, if it weren't for the help of my friend, my ship would have almost suffered a disaster.

It really makes people feel scared.”

Arthur said this with a look of empathy and fear.

ferry?
The 'Vostok'?
Why do you care so much about that ship?

Doubts arose in the heart of the Marquis of West Berlin. In his opinion, it was impossible for such an ambitious guy to be reluctant to part with these material possessions.

unless……

What a difference that ship made!

But the perception given by the 'battle array' told the owner of West Berlin that it was a ship.

A very ordinary boat.

There are no secret facilities.

It is not the legendary battleship as rumored.

However, there is an 'entry-level' guard on the ship who is worth paying attention to.

However, it is most likely that he is the servant of the 'medium' in front of him.

'Did I guess wrong?
Is the 'medium' in front of me, like old Charlie, a 'hermit' or something like that?
if it is like this……

That's great!'

The Marquis of West Berlin's heart moved, and more ideas began to emerge.

As for Arthur's restraint in 'bloody battle'?
Don't forget that the Kratos family not only has family heritage, but also the heritage of 'Cat Pie. Black'. The Marquis still remembers the famous 'Cat Pie. Black' clearly.

He would not be surprised if the 'Cat Faction. Black' contained a secret technique targeting the 'Iron Blood Killing', or a secret technique targeting any noble family.

After all, the hatred between the two sides is worth it for the other party to do so.

But this hatred will never extend to Kratos's family.

Because, the Marquis had seen the remnants of the 'Cat Faction.Black'.

Those guys fled to South Los.

It must have been there that he met Kratos, and in exchange for the secret art of "Cat Pie. Black", he gained the protection of Kratos' family.

The West Berlin master used his aristocratic thinking to quickly sort out the context of the matter, and sincerity emerged in his emerald green eyes.

"Excuse me! You and I have both experienced this kind of thing that we don't want to recall, so...

Can we unite?"

The Marquis of West Berlin extended an invitation to Arthur.

Arthur immediately showed an interested expression, but there was still a struggle on his face.

The West Berlin Marquis immediately added.

"Don't worry, Kratos!
I have also heard about the fairness advocated by the 'medium'.

So, I will give you a fair price - I will open up the trading rights of the port of Dordot to you, how about that? "

After hearing these words, Arthur immediately shook his head.

“It’s not about the price.

It is a problem of the 'Inland River Church' itself.

Or rather, the people behind the 'Inland River Church.'"

Arthur showed his calmness.

This is certainly not a problem of price, but the price itself is problematic.

What Arthur wanted was never a trading qualification.

What Arthur wants is the profits from the port of Dordot.

But of course it is impossible to express this idea directly.

Because the person he was talking to was not a businessman in the true sense, but a nobleman.

And all nobles care about "honor".

They cover up their meanness, cruelty and bloodiness with hypocrisy, and use reputation to cover up plunder, exploitation and killing, and then merge the two into the so-called "honor".

Of course, this is not the end.

When they have such 'honor', the nobles will brainwash others.

Let everyone believe in this 'honor'.

Therefore, there is a famous saying in Nanjun: "Nobles cannot be trusted."

Because, when the nobles get what they want, they always take off their hypocritical masks and reveal their greedy and bloodthirsty true faces.

However, this does not prevent others from believing in the 'honor' of the nobility.

It's not those people who are deceived.

It's just a combination of luck and greed.

Arthur was greedy.

But Arthur was not lucky.

He chose to talk in a way that was suitable for the nobility, just to gain greater benefits.

Just like this moment——

“I didn’t think well enough.

If you help me, all the properties of the River Church in the port of Dordot will be yours."

The Marquis of West Berlin slapped his forehead, looking as if he had just remembered something.

Arthur shook his head again.

“You misunderstood again, this is not what I want.

The people behind the 'Inland River Church' are far more difficult to deal with than you think.

Of course, what is more important is the person behind the Church of Pain."

Arthur emphasized the word 'that being'.

The West Berlin Marquis's eyes narrowed.

'Do you know where He is?'

This time, the Marquis of West Berlin did not speak out loud, but instead spoke with his lips.

This caution further confirmed Arthur's guess: the Marquis of West Berlin had long noticed the 'Lady of Pain', and while he was wary of her, he also coveted her power, and even used his two daughters as bait.

Arthur understood immediately.

Then Arthur smiled and nodded.

"Of course, I am a 'medium'."

Looking at Arthur's determined face, the Marquis frowned slightly.

It’s not that I don’t trust Arthur, but I have to make a choice.

Simply put, the Marquis does not want to pay too much, but wants to gain more.

After a brief thought, the Marquis's eyes suddenly lit up -

He thought of it!
