They all call me master.

Chapter 694 Chaotic Night II

Under the gaze of the Marquis of West Berlin, Catherine reluctantly sat on Arthur's left, cutting grilled pork chops for Arthur with a knife - West Berlin's pork was very famous throughout the South County, especially the wild boar, which was regarded as a symbol of bravery for a long time. In the Silver Age, the coming-of-age ceremonies held by the nobles of West Berlin required young noble sons to hunt an adult wild boar alone.

Crunch, crunch.

The skin-on pork chop made a crisp sound under Catherine's knife.

The thick fat has already become very crispy under the chef's superb cooking skills, and the tender meat underneath exudes a rich aroma the moment it is cut.

It has the taste of pine resin, as well as rich garlic and pepper flavors.

Arthur savored it.

On the other side, Jacqueline was silently pouring juice for Arthur.

Arthur refused alcoholic drinks before the meal.

Therefore, the chef in the Margrave's Castle in West Berlin provided Arthur with a large number of fruit juices, ranging from the more common apple juice and peach juice to the rare wild sea buckthorn juice.

Arthur prefers coconut juice.

Looking at Arthur eating meat and sips of coconut juice, the Marquis of West Berlin smiled with satisfaction.

Of course, the Marquis knew that all this was an illusion.

It was his two daughters who did not dare to confront him and chose to compromise.

As for Arthur?

It's more just cooperation.

But so what?

If the illusion continues, who can say it won't become true?
Moreover, this Marquis is quite confident.

As long as he's here, this will continue.

Pick up the Honey Butter Wine in front of you.

Savor the sweetness inside and the heaviness brought by the oil afterwards.

The Marquis narrowed his eyes and looked down at the messages that were being delivered along with the food.

Just as Arthur said, the 'Inland River Church' has taken action.

Not only the believers in the port of Dordot, but also the people in the Path of Eteil were mobilized.

Moreover, the 'Riptide Squad' also showed up.

It is obvious that the 'Inland River Church' has declared an all-out war on the 'Church of Pain'.

In this battle, both sides are bound to fight to the death.

However, the 'Inland River Church' now has an overall advantage.

Because the head of the 'Church of Pain' is still here and has not taken any action.

The Marquis unconsciously glanced at his two daughters, and the hint of coldness in his eyes made Jacqueline and Catherine tremble.

The twins once again felt their father's murderous intent.

However, the Marquis soon withdrew his gaze.

“Sir Kratos, as we agreed before.

This time...

please! "

Having said these words, the Marquis stood up.

Now is the time!

He needs to appear!

Otherwise, if we miss this opportunity, that guy might hide again!

This was something the Marquis of West Berlin could never accept.

As for mobilizing retainers and staff?
In the eyes of the Marquis, his retainers and staff were no more reliable than Arthur. In fact, to some extent, Arthur, the outsider, was more reliable.

After all, the guy's roots were in West Berlin.

Who can guarantee that his retainers and staff are not corrupt?
Therefore, he must do this matter himself.

Thinking of this, the Marquis walked faster.

Even when he passed by his two daughters, he did not stop.

Although his eyes swept across, they were not looking at Jacqueline or Catherine.

Instead, he made eye contact with Arthur.

The two nodded at the same time, then one lowered his head to eat while the other strode away.

The door to the banquet hall closed again.

At Jacqueline's signal, the performers left one after another.

Soon, Arthur, Jacqueline and Catherine were the only ones left in the hall.

Catherine, who had just acted reluctant, now shrank her neck like a quail - she had just acted tough.

But in reality? I was scared to death.

When Catherine discovered that her father was willing to communicate with Arthur on an equal footing, she, who was already afraid of her father, did not dare to underestimate Arthur at all.

In fact, the fear is still shifting.

Jacqueline was much better.

After pouring Arthur another glass of coconut juice, the high priest of the Church of Pain asked softly:

"Do you think we still have a chance?"

After the last contact, Jacqueline became more cautious.

Because the high priest of the "Church of Pain" knew very well that he did not have many bargaining chips.

Even if I count myself and Catherine, it's only enough to give it a try.

So, no caution is too much.

Not to mention words.

If possible, the high priest of the Church of Pain would have wanted to invent a language to communicate with Arthur.

"Yes, but not big."

Arthur told the truth.

The Marquis of West Berlin had been planning for so many years, how could it be easily overturned?
He is trying to take advantage of the situation.

Not to mention Jacqueline and Catherine.

It's simply a meal on a plate.

After hearing Arthur's words, Catherine collapsed there, filled with fatigue and disappointment.

Jacqueline's eyes lit up.

"So there is hope?"

There was a hint of fluctuation in the voice of the high priest of the Church of Pain.

But Arthur did not give a direct answer, but just asked softly -

"When will the hunter appear?"

"When there's prey."

Catherine on the side quickly answered.

When her sister Jacqueline said "there is hope", the saint of the "Church of Pain" recovered quickly. Not only did her fatigue and disappointment disappear, but she also became eager to try.

Arthur shook his head.

“That’s when the prey lets down their guard.”

Jacqueline added.

"Yes, but not entirely."

Arthur replied.

"what is that?"

Catherine looked curious.

Arthur did not answer immediately. The young 'medium' threw away his knife and fork, grabbed the roast pork chop, opened his mouth wide and bit it hard, and an unclear sound came out of his throat -

"When the prey thinks it's the hunter."

Catherine blinked her beautiful emerald eyes.

It was obvious that the Saint of the 'Church of Pain' did not immediately understand what Arthur meant.

Jacqueline's whole body trembled.

The high priest of the Church of Pain widened his emerald eyes and stared at Arthur in disbelief.

Arthur shrugged.

"Look what I'm doing?
These things were not planned by me.”

After Arthur wolfed down the grilled pork chop in his hand, he grabbed the grilled pork chop in front of Jacqueline. The high priest of the "Church of Pain" ignored all this and just asked anxiously.

"Evidence! What evidence do you have!"

Arthur rolled his eyes at the other man before mumbling.

"In such a large city of West Berlin, the Marquis of West Berlin does everything himself. Our Marquis really does everything himself! He is even unwilling to recruit some talented people to serve as retainers."

"Father has the chief guard, the chief swordsman, the chief hunter and..."

Catherine, who still hadn't figured out the situation, lowered her voice.

The Saint of the Church of Pain also widened her eyes like her sister.

She finally understood.
