anxious.

Melinda was pacing in her study room, feeling uneasy. Although her pipe was not lit, it was always in her mouth - Melinda hoped that the smell of tobacco could soothe her heart at the moment.

But, it’s useless.

No kind of tobacco could relieve Melinda's anxious heart at this moment.

after all……

The old lion is coming!
Yesterday evening, the old lion entered South Los openly.

There was no warning.

It happened so suddenly.

With the arrival of the old lion, the whole of South Los became filled with a weird atmosphere.

Everyone who knew that the Old Lion had come to Nan Los did not know why the Old Lion had come to Nan Los, but everyone knew that since the Old Lion had appeared, he was absolutely sure that he could control the situation - even the Countess of Nan Los would not deny this.

because--

The countess felt the old lion's strong fighting spirit and...

The looming strength.

The fighting spirit was so strong that it was eye-catching.

And that looming strength?
It is surprising enough.

At this moment, the Countess confirmed that the old lion came to fight, and even more so to 'take back' his own reputation.

As the old lion grew older and the countess grew up, the whole South County believed that the countess would take his place in the near future.

In fact, many people believe that the current Countess is stronger than the old lion.

And the Countess thought so at some point.

But obviously the old lion doesn't think so.

As the initiator of the 'pioneer era', the old lion does not want it to end like this.

This caused enough trouble for the Countess.

"I will prepare for the battle with all my strength."

These are the words the Countess told all her subordinates.

No further words were spoken.

But any smart person could sense from this simple sentence that the Countess was not completely sure.

And what if the Countess loses?

South Los will return to what it was like in the early 'pioneer era': a blood bag in the inner bay.

Not to mention the control of the dock, even most of the fleet of Nanlos will become the Golden Lion Family, naturally including Melinda's.

Or……

As a relative of the Countess.

Considered a staunch supporter of the Nanlos family, Melinda could only retain a tiny bit of dignity.

For example: a manor in the suburbs and one or two respectable shops in South Los.

More?

No more.

Moreover, it is highly likely that Melinda will not have any chance to host a salon in the next few decades.

Because she needs to stay indoors.

That manor was her place of activities, and after she dies, it will most likely become her cemetery.

And this is already an 'agreement between the nobles'.

Melinda definitely didn't want to face such a situation.

More than once the lady had thought of simply going out to sea.

However, at this time, if she went out to sea, it would not be just as simple as becoming a pirate, but would completely betray the Nanlos family.

By then, given the tigress's character, she will definitely chase her down desperately.

As for her staying behind and sending some people out?
Less likely.

Because, if this were discovered, she would be deprived of her last bit of dignity.

'Can we just leave it to fate?'

Melinda thought silently, feeling powerless.

This feeling of powerlessness increased the lady's anxiety.

The woman then picked up a communication crystal.

This communication crystal is used by her to contact the forces on the overseas islands - once Nanlos is controlled by the Golden Lion Family, this force will become her trump card.

Therefore, she must make this trump card more hidden.

We can't stay near the sea anymore.

Then go to the open sea.

The moment her fingers touched the communication crystal, Melinda inexplicably thought of Arthur.

'With such an obvious clue, this guy should be able to guess what happened, right? With his intelligence, he will definitely guess it.

Maybe he had already started to escape by now.

But, this guy should be even angrier, right? '

When Melinda thought about the plan Arthur had been planning for many years, which had been going very smoothly in the early stages but failed at this moment, she felt deeply sorry for Arthur.

What made her even more sad was that there was a high probability that the two of them would never meet again in this life.

When she thought of this, Melinda felt difficulty breathing and her chest ached.

Unlike his relatives of the Nanros family, Arthur was just an ordinary "little noble". Not to mention the friction with the little lion since leaving the port, he had repeatedly disrupted the plans of the Golden Lion family just when he was in Nanros - Arthur would definitely not be able to survive.

Even if there is an 'agreement between the nobles'.

But, an explanation is necessary.

What could be more suitable than Arthur?
No.

Malinda knew her cousin's character very well.

When she thought about Arthur being pushed out as a scapegoat, Melinda couldn't help biting her lip slightly.

She didn't want to see this situation.

But she couldn't change anything.

In fact, to some extent, she couldn't even protect herself.

'Why don't you run with Arthur?
I can't stay in Nanjun anymore.

Then go to North County.

We are not going to the prosperous cities in Beijun, but to the Far North. Even with the power of the old lion, it is impossible for him to find us in the Far North!'

Suddenly, an impulse arose in my heart.

Subconsciously, Melinda picked up the communication crystal between her and Arthur.

However, the lady did not link immediately.

Because the lady did not confirm Arthur's thoughts.

if……

What if Arthur didn't want to live in seclusion?

What if Arthur had other plans?

While hesitating, this lady who should have been decisive began to worry about the consequences - she not only thought that Arthur might have other plans, but also thought about her identity.

She is just his collaborator.

Those seemingly intimate behaviors are just for show to others.

How could she take it seriously?

How can such a thing be taken seriously?
it's so funny.

Where did this fool come from!
Melinda raised her hand and slid the match.

However, she never lit her pipe - Arthur didn't like her smoking, and she gave it up unless she had to.

'Why did you think of that bastard again?'

Malinda frowned.

Then, he laughed at himself.

"Sure enough, the sudden arrival of the old lion threw me into disarray!"

Melinda thought to herself and began to take deep breaths.

She needs to adjust as soon as possible.

She needs to calm down.

Otherwise, in the ensuing war, the already tilted balance of victory and defeat will completely tip over to the old lions, and they will not have the slightest chance.

'If I borrow the power of my father and mother...

Only a 10% chance!
And I will definitely die!

I won't be willing to let that dwarf get the advantage!

How about letting that dwarf sign a contract with me?
But I'm dead, what's the use of such a contract?

Will the inheritance be left to Arthur?
Damn!

Why did I think of that guy again! '

Malinda slapped her cheek hard.

The lady had to correct her thoughts again.

At this moment, the communication crystal began to flicker.

Subconsciously, Melinda answered the call.

Immediately, Arthur's voice was heard from inside -

"I missed you, Malinda."
