They all call me Great Master

A small and somewhat sharp-faced Baro Hamlet was sitting upright in the study, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, indicating that he was in a good mood.

In fact, Baro's current mood was beyond imagination.

Twenty years!

Do you know how he lived through these ten years?

Every day he had to be with a dozen maids, continuously doing push-ups, and had to change a batch of maids from time to time, occasionally doing things only fools would do outside.

For what?

To paralyze his brother.

He did quite well.

His brother regarded him as a foolish younger brother.

Although he had been ridiculed, at least he was still alive, wasn't he?

He would not die as inexplicably as Dorn did.

Furthermore, he had waited for a chance to turn the tables!

Twenty years, he finally got the opportunity for his brother to truly leave Inner Bay—he knew what his brother was going to do.

So, he began to act without hesitation.

Because—

"Haha, die!

You really deserve to die!

The rest?

I'll take care of it for you!"

Baro Hamlet murmured softly.

Apart from the Golden Lion Family, there were seven other noble families attached to the Golden Lion Family in Inner Bay. These guys did not refuse his 'extra income' proposal.

Who would refuse windfall money?

Even if outwardly they were for 'honor and justice', deep down they were also eager.

Besides, 'honor and justice' in noble traditions also require money to support.

As for the persistent knights?

Knights might still have honor and justice.

But knights are loyal.

And the loyalty of the knights made the nobles even more 'honor and justice'.

Just thinking about the entanglement of certain knights made Baro almost laugh out loud.

But quickly, Baro's eyes turned fierce.

It's easy to deal with forces outside the Golden Lion Family.

Instead, it was the internal affairs of the Golden Lion Family that made him feel awkward.

It wasn't rejection.

Instead, it was...

A lion's open mouth for extortion!

These parasites not only wanted the largest share of this 'extra harvest' but also wanted more.

For example: the position of Grand Duke.

'Damn it!

How dare they covet my position!

Then, I'll let you understand what death means!'

Baro had already sentenced these parasites to death in his heart.

Once he finished dealing with the current matters, he would kill all these bastards.

Of course, also his brother's offspring.

Gleisa Hamlet didn't need to be considered.

With Alvis Hamlet in Bert Territory, that disrespectful brat was dead for sure.

He cared about Dieudonne Hamlet and Pistri Hamlet.

His brother's second and youngest sons.

These two kids must be in his hands.

Although they must die, currently, they are important pawns.

Thinking of this, Baro spoke directly—

"Where are Dieudonne Hamlet and Pistri Hamlet?"

"Sir, Dieudonne Hamlet disappeared before our people arrived, and Pistri Hamlet escaped into the Docklands. Our people are searching for him."

A voice full of trepidation sounded from the shadows.

Anger surged from within, and Baro was about to curse them as useless waste.

However, Baro held back immediately.

He was about to become the Grand Duke.

He needed to have some dignity.

Immediately, Lord Baro chuckled softly.

"No wonder they are my brother's sons; their reactions are really quick.

Hasten the search; I hope to hear good news before dawn."

"Yes, sir.

Also..."

The reporter in the shadows was full of anxiety.

"Speak."

Baro raised an eyebrow, his bald scalp wrinkling with the action.

"Lord Joel Colman is dead."

Baro frowned.

Not because he mourned Joel Colman's death, but because he thought of his son Alvis—for the swordsman his brother raised, Baro was well aware of his purpose.

A stepping stone!

Most likely not for Gleisa, but for Dieudonne or Pistri.

Because of this, although Gleisa is claimed to be the first heir, he still acted tense, and the other forces in Inner Bay are also very ambiguous.

The Old Lion did not truly recognize Gleisa as his successor.

As for the first heir?

Since the Empire Era, the number of first heirs abolished isn't a hundred, then it's at least ninety, so having one more Gleisa is not uncommon.

What the Old Lion did, naturally Baro would do as well.

The stepping stone the Old Lion prepared for his son, Baro wanted to give to his own son.

But now, Joel Colman was dead.

"What a waste!"

Unable to hold back, Baro, who should have mourned, directly exclaimed in frustration.

These words were what Baro truly felt.

A Talent that was decent but lost himself due to flattery, and the continuous failures had led him to completely abandon the proper path, which, in Baro's view, was a waste.

After all, the resources put on anyone with decent Talent would be enough for them to Ascend Step.

But for this person?

He was still far from it.

However, after speaking, Baro thought about maintaining his prestige.

At this moment, it would have been appropriate to express mourning.

But since he already spoke, it was too late to make up for it.

Therefore, immediately, Baro shifted the topic by saying—

"Who killed him?

Don't tell me it was Jimte.

That kid was being chased like a chicken before."

To ease the atmosphere, Baro deliberately tried to joke.

However, the person in the shadows couldn't laugh.

He had even more important news.

A piece of news that could shake the heavens.

But for now, he simply reported the current situation.

"It was Kalal."

"Kalal?"

In Baro's mind, a young man who was arrogant and disdainful appeared. Instinctively, Baro touched his head, smiling as he spoke.

"It seems I'm not the only Impostor here!"

Full of sighing words, the thought arose in Baro's mind whether to win over Kalal.

After all, Joel Colman was a waste, but he was genuinely an 'Entrant', capable of easily defeating an ordinary 'Entrant'.

Anyone who could take down Joel Colman must be quite skilled in their own right.

Plus, with Kalal's age, the potential to 'Ascend Step' was quite near.

A person like that is naturally worth recruiting.

However, very quickly, Baro dismissed the idea.

A single 'Impostor' was enough for him.

Any more?

It wasn't necessary.

It was too dangerous.

Unconsciously, Baro developed a murderous intent towards Kalal.

However, he did not give an order, considering Jimte had already been assigned his fate, having Kalal involved would only make that fate look better, wouldn't it?

Letting two people take the blame looked better anyway.

With that in mind, Baro chuckled again.

The person in the shadows, seeing Baro laugh, immediately stammered.

"Also..."

"Also?"

Baro was a bit impatient.

At this moment, the person in the shadows gnashed his teeth and spoke—

"Master Alvis is dead."

Suddenly, Baro was stunned.
