They all call me Great Master
Chapter 821 - 818: Victory of Malice II

Hiss!

Upon hearing Gresah Hamlet's words, Alvis took a sharp breath.

At this moment, the young man from the Golden Lion Family finally understood why Hayes was in such a hurry to leave the Inner Bay, even at the cost of giving up the 'South County Swordsmanship Competition'.

It was Gleisa!

That bastard was eyeing Bert Territory!

No!

To be precise, that bastard had long been eyeing Bert Territory, waiting for an opportunity!

And now, the opportunity had arrived!

Alvis was certain that Depro, Diliven, and Peigi wouldn't survive.

Only with their deaths could Hayes smoothly inherit Bert Territory and cede Rondohart Port.

'Isn't this bastard afraid of Count Bert's revenge?

Wait a minute!

Arthur Kredos!

This Southern Lost Spirit Medium was about to arrive at Bert Territory — this bastard wants to instigate a battle between the Southern Lost Spirit Medium and Count Bert.

And then reap the rewards!

In an instant, Alvis understood everything.

Alvis wasn't sure who would be the victor in the battle between the Southern Lost Spirit Medium and Count Bert.

However, if this plan was carried out, the biggest winner would undoubtedly be that bastard Gleisa.

This was something Alvis absolutely couldn't accept!

'What to do? What to do?

I absolutely don't want Gleisa to win!'

Faced with his enemy, Alvis began to rack his brains.

Meanwhile, in the small restaurant, Hayes wore an expression of pain.

"Can you allow me to think about it overnight and give you an answer in the morning?"

Hayes pleaded.

The Little Lion straightforwardly refused.

"No!

Just as I have a way to block the Messenger Stone, you surely have a way to contact Count Bert.

I hold respect for His Excellency the Count.

I absolutely do not wish to face His Excellency the Count directly.

Therefore, you not only need to sign a contract with me now but must also add a clause to the contract — from this moment on, you cannot inform His Excellency the Count in any way."

The Little Lion said, then smiled.

It was a joyful smile.

The situation grasped was Gleisa's favorite kind.

Gleisa relished this almost tyrannical grip.

The feeling of being unrestrained was truly wonderful.

At this moment, the depression Gleisa encountered from Arthur was almost completely swept away.

And anticipate.

Gleisa looked forward to the battle between Count Bert and Arthur.

Gleisa had seen Arthur's strength, but as he said, he held respect for Count Bert — and for someone like Gleisa to hold respect, there was only one reason.

That is strength.

Count Bert was very strong.

His ability was extremely bizarre.

A rival Gleisa least wanted to face.

And precisely because of this, Gleisa was cautious with Bert Territory, not only retracting spies but also giving up on 'diversified development.'

However, those are no longer important.

This time, it could be once and for all.

'Thinking about it this way, I should thank you, Arthur.

So, make sure to have a good fight with Count Bert.

Ideally, both perish.

Of course, one's death and one's injury is acceptable.

I will clean up the aftermath well.'

The Little Lion thought to himself, his eyes once again glancing at Hayes, his demeanor filled with disdain —

"Hayes, your relationship with Depro, Diliven, and Peigi isn't good.

In fact, your relationship with Count Bert has long been distant.

Your hesitation now isn't because you can't ignore the deaths of those three fools, Depro, Diliven, and Peigi, nor is it because you can't sit back and watch Count Bert step into a trap.

You're just unable to accept that Rondohart Port, which you considered to be in your grasp, is being taken by me."

The Little Lion said, his eyes were full of provocation and mockery.

"I can take away Rondohart Port; why can't you take it back?

Oh, you lack the confidence to take it back from me?

Even if I give you other lands of Bert Territory, you have no confidence?

Hayes, you're truly a hypocritical and cowardly guy!"

"Shut up!

Stop talking!"

Hayes stood up from his chair, slammed the table heavily, and growled.

"Did I hit a nerve?

Feeling anxious?

Then sign the contract with me.

You're a smart guy, you know, you can't escape — unless you choose to die now!

Only if you die can you break the situation.

It's just...

Are you willing?"

The Little Lion's tone was heavily accented.

The provocation in his tone was even stronger.

He didn't ask if he dared but if he was willing.

Gleisa could be sure that someone like Hayes, who had secretly developed for so many years, would definitely not be willing to die just like that.

Especially for a potential competitor.

Such people do exist.

But it certainly wouldn't be Hayes.

As expected.

Hayes stood there, stunned.

Then he sat down in his chair, seemingly devoid of energy, with eyes showing a sense of daze.

The Little Lion stood up, walked past the dining table, and came to Hayes's side.

"Don't be so despairing.

The person you lost to is me, Gresah Hamlet, the sole heir of the Inner Bay.

What's so despairing about that?

You should feel honored instead.

Because—

I acknowledge you."

Saying this, the Little Lion raised a hand, and a contract appeared before Hayes.

This time, Hayes didn't say anything more.

Hayes signed his name.

Looking at the signature, the Little Lion laughed again.

"Cheer up, Hayes.

Trust me, in the decades to come, you will surely be glad of tonight's decision.

Wait for the good news I bring you later, the new owner of Bert Territory."

With these words, the Little Lion left, just as suddenly as he came.

But what remained unchanged was that undeniable dominance.

Truly like a lion.

Hayes sat there, dazed.

He didn't even notice Alvis step out of the secret chamber.

It wasn't until Alvis coughed softly that this nephew of Count Bert came back to his senses.

And as soon as Hayes came back to his senses and saw Alvis, his eyes suddenly lit up, like a drowning man spotting a lifeline.

Begging!

Hayes looked at Alvis beseechingly.

"Don't worry.

I won't let Gleisa succeed!

I will inform Count Bert of the truth!

For the sake of our friendship, please leave everything to me!"

Alvis said solemnly.

Hayes nodded gratefully.

"Alvis, you will be my lifelong best friend!"

Alvis immediately smiled, this young member of the Golden Lion Family patted Hayes's shoulder and walked straight out.

His carriage had left after dropping him off.

He had originally intended to stay there for the night.

His carriage was supposed to pick him up the following noon.

At this moment, the young member of the Golden Lion Family was grateful for this.

If his carriage had still been there, how could he have seized the opportunity before him?

Alvis glanced back at the vacation manor, hints of apology in his eyes.

But in the next moment, it was replaced by a burning intensity.

That was—

Ambition!
