They all call me Great Master

Quickly, Jimte and Kalal saw the answer—

In the lobby of St. Joan of Arc Girls' College, Jennifer and Jian had been waiting.

Behind them were Ariel, Reine, Donna, Joli Li, and Judith.

Quite naturally, Shara and Amy walked over to Jennifer and Jian, nodding and greeting each other.

And all four of them deliberately ignored Anna, who considered herself the leader of the five.

Anna was not surprised by this.

She had gotten used to it.

Besides, now Anna, upon entering the lobby, was immediately drawn to Ariel, Reine, Donna, Joli Li, and Judith.

As a security guard of the college, Anna was well aware of the influence those five wielded within the college, as well as their identity.

No!

It was the identity of the students of the college.

Her gaze flickered involuntarily.

The next moment, she sighed deeply.

"So, that's how it is!"

Upon hearing these words, Shara, Amy, Jennifer, and Jian rolled their eyes directly.

Why did they ignore Anna?

Apart from Anna being arrogant, narcissistic, and having special orientations, it was due to this pretentious mystery-making.

Acting as if she knew everything but never saying anything—such a character was simply inhuman.

According to Shara and Jennifer, such a person should be sent to the burning stake.

Amy, on the other hand, thought it was okay, considering they could sit down and have a long chat, and if that didn't work, cut off her limbs and throw her onto a firewood pile.

As for Jian?

The gentle and frail Jian didn't care about these.

She just felt such a person shouldn't disrupt her life.

If she was disturbed?

Then let her bleed, smear some salt, and let her dry in the wind.

However, Anna's pretentiousness inspired awe among Ariel, Reine, Donna, Joli Li, and Judith.

Because—

They sensed mystery.

The mystery they understood shouldn't it be of this vibe?

Unconsciously, the five young girls became excited.

Their gazes towards Anna changed.

Sensing the looks from the five young girls, Anna was about to raise her chin and place her hands on her hips.

See!

There are still people who appreciate her wit!

Isn't it just that the Old Lion left the Inner Bay, and those always hiding folks surfaced?

And then, planning to use some pretext to reshuffle the Inner Bay.

And conveniently harvest a wave of wealth from the middle class and rich merchants?

What's so difficult about that!

With her intelligence, it only takes a glance to…

Wait a minute!

Anna, who was feeling smug internally, suddenly thought of something.

She was doing all this following Cassandra's orders.

So, what role does Cassandra play in this?

Or, having anticipated everything, would Cassandra really do nothing?

She considered herself smart, but she was just a pawn in the other party's calculations.

'Damn Kledos Family!

Why is it always some annoying people!'

Anna hated people smarter than her.

She hated even more those bastards who snatched her lover away.

Coincidentally, the Kledos Family has both.

Immediately, the lady began cursing vulgarly in her heart, without any elegance, tracing back eight generations centered on the maternal relatives.

And after entering the lobby, Jimte and Kalal, who had been quietly observing everything, quickly confirmed two things—

First, Lady Cassandra's organization was far less tight-knit than imagined.

Though talented individuals were plenty, they were loosely structured.

For them and their master, this was a good thing.

If things came to a head, facing a loose organization, their casualties would be significantly fewer.

Dier, Lady Cassandra had her hand on the changing situation of the Inner Bay.

The commotion Baro caused didn't escape this lady's notice.

Moreover, this lady had already made corresponding moves.

A step ahead of them!

Why did they come to the St. Joan of Arc Girls' College?

Apart from safety, it was also because most students at St. Joan of Arc Girls' College came from good families, home to the rich of the Inner Bay.

Their families were the target of Baro's harvest this time and also the key point to balancing all parties.

As for St. Joan of Arc Girls' College?

Perhaps, initially, this college was respected because of 'Saint'.

But the ones who respected it were always ordinary people.

The stewards of the Inner Bay were wary of this place.

Therefore, the noble offspring receiving family education would not come here to study but appear during the Study Tour Festival while promoting the college and encouraging daughters of merchants to enroll here.

And during the Study Tour Festival, they would showcase the 'traditions' of the nobles at the college.

Doing so was all to weaken St. Joan of Arc Girls' College.

Especially, what the Old Lion did was even more outstanding.

He had two minor nobles fall in love at first sight with two female students during the Study Tour Festival.

Then, wrapped that encounter in the name of love.

And let people propagate widely, so that encounter left the college's female students mesmerized, unable to see the essence, becoming more of love-obsessed, love-focused minds.

After all, love is above life.

They would all become the brave ones.

This has nothing to do with money, power.

Even if what they want all requires money to support, needing power's escort, it was the same.

For these, Jimte and Kalal always considered them as jokes during tea breaks.

However, during Baro Hamlet's activities, past jokes became key points—they planned to connect with students here, leveraging the power of their families to completely disrupt Baro.

Merchants pursue profit.

And with their lives threatened.

They believed these merchants would explode with unimaginable power.

But now, someone has beat them to it.

Unconsciously, Jimte and Kalal exchanged a glance.

The two pondered how to face this situation.

Or rather, they weren't certain if their allegiance to Arthur had already been discovered.

And at this moment—

"You want to fish in troubled waters amid the Inner Bay's chaos this time, right?

Unable to achieve in your original territory, you value this opportunity highly.

Thus, you've come here.

Shall we talk?"

Anna spoke up.

This lady had already caught on.

She no longer cared about whether she had become a part of Cassandra's plan.

She only cared about how much she could gain from the other party's layout.

Only enough profit could move her.

It wasn't that Anna was greedy.

It was because Anna believed that accumulating enough wealth was the only way to get Marinda back.

That was her thought and her course of action.

Jimte and Kalal immediately smiled.

The not-too-clever woman before them seemed to have revealed something remarkable.

The other party seemed unaware of their sworn allegiance to the master.

So then—

"Talk?

No problem!

Let's talk!"

The two replied in unison.
