They all call me Great Master-Chapter 522 - 519: The Show Goes On!
As Arthur called out, the man with white hair, an elegant posture, and icy gaze whom Didian, Garcia, and Longbain had once seen, stepped out from the Shadows.
However, his gaze was not as cold as they remembered.
At this moment, the man's gaze also filled with helplessness.
"My Lord, please leave everything to me.
I will handle it properly."
Grindelwald said, his eyes sweeping over Didian, Garcia, Longbain, and Sapir.
It was Sapir's first time meeting Grindelwald, and upon encountering that gaze, he tensed up immediately, his hand involuntarily tightening around the mace.
The gaze of this white-haired man reminded Sapir of a snake.
The kind that is about to swallow a frog!
It was dangerous!
Didian, Garcia, and Longbain immediately crowded around Sapir, taking out their weapons.
This action made Arthur cover his face.
The voice of the young 'Spirit Medium' then rose slightly, saying —
"Grindelwald, you are now a 'Black Cat,' not who you were before.
So, you need to follow my rules.
Didian, Garcia, Longbain, Sapir, they mean no harm, they are not enemies!"
Arthur emphasized.
Grindelwald immediately looked perplexed.
Then, the face of the white-haired middle-aged man immediately showed guilt.
"I'm sorry, my Lord, I've gotten used to it.
I...
will do my best to accommodate them properly."
Greenwald said, looking at Didian and her companions once more.
This time, there was no killing intent in his gaze.
But,
it was still malevolent!
Didian and her companions could all distinctly feel the 'resentment' in the heart of the white-haired middle-aged man.
Moreover, Didian knew where this 'resentment' originated from.
The previous time this white-haired middle-aged man had 'greeted' her and Garcia, his seemingly cordial demeanor was mistakenly perceived by her as a pretentious attempt at recruitment.
Thus, she had misunderstood.
It wasn't just a misunderstanding of that incident.
It had also led to the current awkward situation.
And at its core, it had been a simple greeting.
He could not have cared about her or Garcia at that moment.
Involuntarily, a sense of bitterness and regret surged in Didian's heart.
Subconsciously, the lady looked towards Arthur.
"Madam, please rest assured, Grindelwald is trustworthy.
You can trust him just as you trust me.
Moreover, I assure you he will not harm you, nor will he do anything to harm you— I'm very sorry, although I would love to chat more with everyone, my time is extremely limited.
If I get the chance, I will visit you and the others at the 'Lotus Leaf Hotel.'"
Arthur noticed the plea in Didian's eyes.
It was the distrust towards Grindelwald.
Immediately, Arthur gave a promise.
At the same time, Arthur also issued a dismissal.
This dismissal was not abrupt; rather, to Didian, Garcia, Longbain, and Sapir, this was the most normal response.
Arthur's time was valuable.
That he could spare a moment of this valuable time to meet with them was already a huge favor.
More?
Impossible.
Because they were not worthy enough.
Didian and the others consciously accepted this.
And that was why Arthur had chosen to 'act' in that manner.
It wasn't the time-consuming process of long-term relationships that couldn't reach his stature, but rather the direct and cost-effective method of PUA.
If it were the former, with Didian's personality, they would probably need several adjustments, and that too, based on a 'life-saving grace.'
Without the 'life-saving grace,' they would truly be waiting for a prolonged battle.
Longbain was in a similar situation.
Both had their weaknesses, but both also had their persistence.
So, it is not difficult, yet it's not simple either.
However, none of that matters now.
Arthur, who sat down and began to reread his books, did not look at Didian and his group again.
Grindelwald was the one the four had followed.
As he stepped out of No. 2 Cork Street, Grindelwald carefully closed the door without making a sound and then turned to face Didian and the others.
Afterward, his gaze fell on Didian.
"Do you know who dies the quickest?"
Grindelwald asked coldly.
"The conceited ones,"
said Didian, his face bitter.
"Good!
You know the answer!
I also hope you'll remember this answer firmly—and likewise, you must remember, it is only through the adults' mercy and compassion that you are able to stand here and continue speaking with me.
And us?
While gathered here by the adults' mercy and compassion,
we will absolutely not allow some individuals to think they can make mistakes over and over again, relying on the adults' mercy and compassion.

Understood?"
Grindelwald's voice was as cold as his gaze at that moment.
Didian and his companions felt as if the temperature was plummeting rapidly, as if their whole persons were about to freeze stiff.
No!
Not as if!
There was actual frost!
Garcia, watching the frost spread from Grindelwald's feet to in front of them and then stop, began to shiver uncontrollably.
As a novice of the 'Mystic Side,' it was his first time witnessing such power.
"Longbain, Garcia, pass the messages to Didian every week, and I will head to the 'Lotus Leaf Hotel' as often as possible to listen to Didian's reports.
If I fail to appear on time, Didian, you should have Sapir deliver the messages to No. 2 Cork Street, to a child named Merlin.
Similarly, if there is any urgent matter, Longbain, you are to come here first hand to inform Merlin,"
Grindelwald instructed.
"Merlin? A child?"
Sapir was taken aback.
Whether it was an illusion or not, the second son of the 'Lotus Leaf Hotel' felt that the man before him was comparing him to a child.
Such a feeling irritated Sapir.
That's right!
You are strong!
But to compare me to a child?
Am I not even comparable to a child?
"Ah, perhaps it was the accidental 'Awakening' that made you feel powerful, this sudden surge of power causing you to inflate your ego, thinking yourself mighty.
But this kind of might...
Here, it's less than a child.
If you don't believe it, you might try it with Merlin when you see him.
However...
If you die, don't say I didn't warn you."
Grindelwald glanced at Sapir with contempt.
Arthur had long been considering a trial against Merlin.
Now, it was just the right opportunity.
As for whether Merlin would be in trouble?
No, he would not.
His Uncle, Gaius, was keeping a close watch.
Following that, Grindelwald waved his hand to signal the four to leave quickly, the disdain in his manner once again making Didian and his group uneasy, yet soon after, they felt a tiny bit relieved.
Perhaps...
That was the best outcome!
Arthur, watching this scene through Fujin's perspective, curved the corners of his mouth slightly.
Then, the young 'Spirit Medium' took a deep breath.
This side of the show was over.
But tonight's drama was not yet over.
With a thought, Arthur's vision shifted—
At this moment, 'Glast' cloaked in a cloak, was striding toward Baron Harold's Manor.
