They all call me Great Master-Chapter 533 - 530: Father and Son, Father and Daughter

The room was still.

Then bubbles began to form in the liquid within the culture vessel.

Gurgling.

Fine bubbles rose up, and Cosette drifted over from the corner. She extended her little hand through the glass, and her eyes, which had been half-open, now fully opened.

Dark blue.

The color was like that of the Undead Fire.

Arthur's lips curled slightly upward. He raised his palm and extended a finger to touch Cosette's little hand through the glass vessel.

Gurgling.

More fine bubbles emerged.

It was only then that Titon, the butler, realized that Miss Cosette was probably laughing.

Viewing this scene, the butler was very consoled.

At least, the miss truly liked Lord Kledos.

As for a monster?

Ah, which truly talented person is not a monster?

That is just slander from those with ordinary talents toward those whose talents are unreachable.

There is no need to pay attention to such people.

As long as they do not provoke the Kledos and Harold Families.

And if they indeed dare to provoke them?

Just as Lord Kledos said, let them feel the terror of a monster!

Titon stood aside with his hands down, not interrupting the 'conversation between father and daughter' —

"Cosette, if you want to grow up healthy, sleep is essential. From now on, this place will become very safe.

No one will threaten you.

And no strangers will break in here.

So, don't be afraid, just go to sleep."

Arthur comforted Cosette.

Was Cosette inside the culture vessel scared?

Arthur did not sense it.

He guessed it.

The state of Harold Manor, the state of Baron Harold, combining these two, it wasn't hard to guess — the former was dilapidated, the latter distorted.

If one thought about it, Cosette's situation would not be good.

Especially since Cosette exhibited exceptional talent.

Even through the barrier of the culture vessel, Arthur could feel the Spirituality emanating from Cosette, along with intelligence and sensitivity far surpassing 'peers'.

'With my own insufficient talent, I've completely created a 'Clone'.

This 'Clone' possesses everything I desire.

After raising it, I plan to use soul grafting to seize this body.'

The scheme of Baron Harold had completely unfolded in Arthur's mind.

However, there were two points that Baron Harold didn't anticipate.

Distortion!

Glast didn't just plant distortion within him, but also within Cosette.

Simply put, Cosette was originally a boy, but his gender had been distorted to that of a girl.

This explanation made sense to Arthur.

Otherwise...

That would mean Baron Harold had some unspeakable peculiar proclivity.

Gurgling.

Hearing Arthur's words, Cosette in the culture vessel laughed again.

Then, truly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

'She didn't feel my malice.

And could sense my presence.

So, she chose to trust, huh?

Good instinct.'

Arthur assessed, then a heartfelt sigh emerged from the bottom of his heart.

'If every child was as self-aware as Cosette, parents would surely be overjoyed, especially those fathers, who would probably be moved to tears.'

Often, the relationship between father and son is the most complex in the world.

They were masters and servants, enemies, friends, but only when either of them lay in bed would they be father and son.

For this, Arthur was grateful that Cosette was a girl.

After all, a daughter is a father's little padded jacket.

Although he was only a godfather, he too hoped for a cute little padded jacket, not the so-called leather jacket that is expensive yet not warm, and requires meticulous care to avoid cracking.

Arthur thought to himself, maintaining a smile as he turned to look at Titon.

"Titon, I need you to make a trip to South Town.

You should go directly to Little Lisop and borrow 10 guards from him.

Harold Manor needs these guards.

Before Harold Manor cultivates its own reliable guards, these 10 will save us a considerable amount of trouble.

Oh, and the maids, too.

Recruit them as well.

Harold Manor needs a good cleaning.

Even if it's for Cosette."

Arthur said this directly.

The Lisop Family also pledged loyalty to Lord Kledos?

Titon was initially shocked, then felt it was only natural.

After experiencing a series of shocks previously, the threshold for this butler began to rise steadily, and what should have been shocking now seemed only natural.

Of course, the butler, who still had his sense of shame, couldn't help but give a wry smile and nod at Arthur's kindly jest.

"The financial situation at Harold Manor was very tight before, but now you can rest assured, it won't be long before you see a completely renewed Harold Manor."

The butler said with full confidence.

With Lord Kledos as a backup and 500 gold coins as startup capital.

If he couldn't make Harold Manor look brand new, then Titon simply wasn't a qualified butler.

"I look forward to it."

Arthur said these words, waved goodbye to the sleeping Cosette, and then prepared to head to the study on the ground floor; but in the next moment, this young 'Spirit Medium' seemed to accidentally spot the 'Fire Lizard's Pouch' while passing the material cabinet.

"Oh?"

Arthur expressed his surprise aloud.

"What is it, Lord Kledos?"

Titon immediately looked at the 'Fire Lizard's Pouch'.

"It's nothing, just surprised to find a 'Fire Lizard's Pouch' here. When I was told that frying it would be delicious while using Flame Grass to stew Fire Lizard meat,"

Arthur said with a laugh, gesturing as he prepared to move on.

Without any hesitation, Titon took out the 'Fire Lizard's Pouch' and placed it in Arthur's hands.

"Please take it back with you to eat.

The entire manor has been leased by you.

It belongs to you."

Titon spoke earnestly.

In the butler's eyes, Arthur had really just discovered a delicious dish.

As for deception?

Lord Kledos was sincere, he would definitely not deceive anyone.

With a smile, Arthur put away the 'Fire Lizard's Pouch'.

For the 'Fire Lizard's Pouch,' Arthur genuinely needed it.

He needed 'fire' to enrich his arsenal of attacks.

In fact, in Arthur's heart, there was always a special sentiment for fire—not because it might come in handy for making a fire on a wilderness trek!

But rather, he reflected on the necessity of fire in human life.

Not just for light, but for making food edible.

Cooked food was undoubtedly one of the most important steps on the ladder of human progress.

And fire?

Undoubtedly great.

For Miss Cosette's safety and the resurrection of Harold Manor, after Arthur stated he would temporarily stay to help take care of Cosette, Butler Titon set off again, heading straight for South Town.

After Arthur watched the butler disappear,

ensuring no one was around, he headed straight for the mill's secret chamber.

When Arthur entered the secret chamber beneath the mill and saw the huge ritual scene, numerous texts began to appear before his eyes.

After closely examining these texts, Arthur realized—

"So that's it!"
