They all call me Great Master-Chapter 677 - 674: A Person to Talk to!
Five cannons in a row, ten rows in a column, a total of ten columns.
A total of five hundred cannon muzzles were aimed at Arthur.
Under the oppressive, pitch-black muzzles, Arthur's gaze swept higher, nonchalantly—there, something else was hidden.
Compared to these five hundred cannons, what was hidden there caused even greater trepidation for Arthur.
Even...
[Death Intuition] started to flicker.
Clearly, that was where the real core of the West Berlin Family's [Array of Cannons] lay.
And these cannons?
They were nothing more than a bluff to distract onlookers.
Precisely because the cannons displayed were merely a bluff, Arthur could confirm even more things.
For instance, the owner of West Berlin had just harbored a murderous intent.
But it was only for a moment!
Immediately after that moment, the West Berlin host regained his composure, but the deployment of the [Array of Cannons] was still a necessity, albeit with the key elements concealed.
Beyond these, there was also the previous stare from the West Berlin host.
His subtle expressions were seen clearly under Arthur's [Insight] and [Eagle Eye].
Thus, piece by piece, clues began to come together.
Several of Arthur's puzzling questions also started to find answers.
The foremost resolved issue was the West Berlin host's attitude toward the Pain Church.
Or rather, whether the West Berlin host stood behind the Pain Church.
From the current situation, that did not appear to be the case.
The one standing behind the Pain Church had always been the daughter of the Marquess of West Berlin.
And the Marquess of West Berlin himself?
Though aware of the Pain Church's existence, he chose to stand at an even higher, darker position—the master of West Berlin could not directly face the Inland Church originating from the Inner Bay, for that would draw the ire of the Old Lion from Inner Bay, and thus, the Marquess of West Berlin could only rely on his daughter.
To a certain extent, His Excellency the Marquess was using his daughter.
Of course, in the eyes of the Marquess himself, that surely wasn't the case.
Because—
The Marquess undoubtedly believed he was doing it for the family, the territory, and the honor!
If the Old Lion from Inner Bay were to get angry, the losses for the West Berlin Family would be much greater!
This also explained why the tentacle named 'Mikhail' chose Yula instead of the two daughters of the Marquess of West Berlin.
Because behind the two daughters of the West Berlin Marquis House stood the Marquess of West Berlin with ill intentions.
Even, it is very likely that the Marquess of West Berlin was preparing a win-win situation—
Not just using his daughter's Pain Church to withstand the pressure from Inner Bay.

But also to use the Pain Church to flush out the tentacle named 'Mikhail'.
After all, the fact that the third and fourth daughters were twins, and 'Mikhail' was also a twin, seemed far too coincidental.
It must have been carefully planned!
Speedy analysis led Arthur to understand that there were loopholes to be exploited here.
'The eldest daughter, the widow, must be the Marquess of West Berlin's chosen heir, right?' Arthur surmised internally.
The second daughter was betrothed to Jimte, and although Jimte had betrayed Norvia, with the caution and carefulness of nobles, it was impossible for the territory of West Berlin to be entrusted to his second daughter.
As for the third and fourth daughters, they had been contaminated by the Pain Church and could not become suitable heirs.
Even as a bystander, Arthur could confirm that something was off with Catherine.
Clearly, she had been influenced by the so-called Lady of Sorrow.
If this was the case with the youngest daughter
How could the third daughter be any better?
Unconsciously, Arthur thought of the strange voice that the Lady of Sorrow used Yula's body to emit through the Messenger Stone, as well as Catherine's and her sister's subsequent excited responses.
Without a doubt, that was a gift from the 'Lady of Sorrow'.
It was also an indescribable corruption.
And after casting aside his three daughters, there was only the eldest left.
It's quite possible that the Marquess of West Berlin himself orchestrated his eldest daughter's widowhood.
Of course, there's also the possibility that the Marquess of West Berlin has an illegitimate child.
Arthur doesn't care about that.
What concerns Arthur is that such a Marquess of West Berlin would be very easy to negotiate with... ah, no... that's to say, a very easy person to converse with.
In the blink of an eye, an idea formed in Arthur's mind.
The young South Los 'Spirit Medium' adjusted the cuffs and collar of his attire, then cast an affectionate and apologetic glance toward South Los, after sweeping his Eagle Eye over the 'Oriental'.
His skill in 'Bluff' reached its peak and shone wildly at that time.
The Marquess of West Berlin immediately sensed something off about Arthur, especially when Arthur turned around, with nothing but resolve in his eyes and a face filled with determination—the master of West Berlin cursed inwardly, realizing his mistake.
And Arthur sang out—
"Eternal Monster, inheritor of the Rebellious Bloodline, creator of Twilight of the Gods, admirer of the Northern Gods, dominator of the Blade of Chaos, possessor of Leviathan's Axe, descendant of the Kledos Family, I invoke the name of war!
Never compromise!
Fight to the death!"
Unlike before, when he required Fujin and Wuni to cooperate.
This time, Arthur simply released the remaining Death Qi and activated the 'Bloodline Seal.Lionheart King'.
Boom!
The surging Death Qi erupted like a volcanic explosion in midair, the volcanic ash obscuring the sky after an eruption, and at this moment, it was the heavy Death Qi that shielded the heavens.
The heavy death Qi shrouded the entire sky yet did not conceal the figure of the 'Spirit Medium'.
The young 'Spirit Medium' stood amidst the darkness, surrounded and protected by layers of Death Qi, his figure still clearly visible.
Because!
Death Qi could not, nor dared to, block the sight of its king.
The vision of the King is the faith of Death Qi.
The King!
The King of Death!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
With Arthur's heartbeat, under the 'Bloodline Seal.Lionheart King', he demonstrated effects far surpassing the 'Emperor's Drum.Pseudo'.
The 'Emperor's Drum.Pseudo' brought only pure fear.
It did not resemble a king so much as a tyrant.
However, under the 'Bloodline Seal.Lionheart King', Arthur brought not only fear and oppression but also the king's benevolence, mercy, and...
Untouchability!
A king's humiliation means blood will flow!
Witnessing this scene, the eyelids of the Marquess of West Berlin began to twitch wildly.
The Marquess of West Berlin was affected.
Not just by the groundwork laid by Death Qi.
But because the 'Bloodline Seal.Lionheart King' gained strength as 'Spirituality' increased.
Of course, even more importantly, the Marquess of West Berlin thought of the Kledos Family.
The Kledos Family was not just Arthur alone.
Arthur had an uncle, an aunt, and a grandfather.
Especially since Arthur's grandfather had a bevy of close female friends.
Should Arthur truly perish...
Suddenly, the master of West Berlin envisioned the entire West Berlin Territory plunged into war, the West Berlin Family teetering on the brink of collapse.
Without any hesitation, the master of West Berlin shouted out loud—
"Wait!"
