They all call me Great Master

Arthur's words made Cotton and Grandma Andor tremble, and they looked at each other reluctantly.

"Cotton, it's so good to see you!"

"Me too!"

The two began to say their goodbyes to each other.

However, the young 'Spirit Medium' interjected quite abruptly—

"Have you two misunderstood something?"

Cotton and Grandma Andor turned to look at Arthur, confusion showing on their faces.

"What I said about time running out is not just about Mr. Cotton, but both of your time is almost up!"

The young 'Spirit Medium' pointed to Cotton and Grandma Andor's hands that were still tightly clasped.

Lost Souls and living humans can't touch each other.

Unless...

The human is about to die.

Haunted by the ghost of Baron Kemir, the elderly Grandma Andor had already unknowingly reached the end of her life.

"What?!"

Everyone who had been quietly watching suddenly realized, with Arthur's hint—They were all happy for this long-separated couple, yet they had overlooked the extraordinary scene that had just unfolded.

All at once, expressions became complicated.

They didn't know what kind of expression to use when facing Cotton and Grandma Andor.

However, Grandma Andor was very happy.

"We never have to be apart again!"

"Yes, no more separation!"

Cotton nodded, but his expression held a hint of regret.

"What's wrong, Cotton?"

Grandma Andor immediately noticed something amiss in her fiancé.

"I had wanted to give you a wedding... just as I promised when I left, that we would have a wedding when I returned!

I don't know if we can hold a wedding in The Eternal Resting Land?"

Cotton said as he awkwardly scratched his head.

Grandma Andor touched Cotton's cheek, smoothing away the embarrassment and the regret.

"It doesn't matter anymore!

We have already..."

"It matters!

Why wouldn't it matter?

How much time is left, Arthur?"

Just then, Linda interrupted the conversation between Cotton and Grandma Andor, and then looked towards Arthur.

"Ten minutes!"

Arthur, guessing what Linda wanted to do, said with a slight upward curve of his lips.

"Ten minutes?

That's enough!

The wedding needs a lawn, No. 44 White Bird Street has one, and all your friends and family are here, plus we can find the necessary flowers and fireworks!

Don't forget, this is the most affluent district in South Los—White Bird Street!"

Linda said and then hurriedly ran outside.

Though she had awakened the Kledos Family's bloodline, her young age destined her to act impulsively for love at this moment.

Or perhaps...

Did she inherit this fearless love from Old Charlie's bloodline?

Arthur was uncertain.

Yet, watching the young girl's retreating back, Arthur's lips curved upwards—the young 'Spirit Medium' mentioned Cotton and Grandma Andor's time so they wouldn't leave with regrets.

Now?

It seemed quite right.

The crowd became busy at once.

Almost with utmost speed, they set up a simple wedding scene on the lawn of No. 44 White Bird Street, with a flower arch, a pure white carpet, rows of chairs along the carpet, and friends and family smiling as they watched the end of the carpet.

Including Grandma Andor's two apprentices, who were distant relatives of hers, now among the crowds, they secretly blessed their teacher and grandma—Grandma Andor had left her kitchen to them and informed them she had recorded all of her recipes for them to try and practice.

For this, they were endlessly grateful.

They had also completely shaken off their fear of the ghost, leaving only blessings.

At the end of the white carpet, Cotton was holding Grandma Andor's hand.

Even as a ghost, Cotton still felt his heart might leap out.

"My dear, I am a bit nervous," Cotton said softly.

"Don't worry, I'm here," Grandma Andor replied gently.

Although she was a bit nervous herself, her heart settled immediately as she held her lover's hand, her calmness infecting Cotton.

The two 'people' exchanged smiles.

Then their gazes shifted to the other end of the pure white carpet.

Arthur stood there.

The unanimous choice as the officiant, the young 'Spirit Medium' quickly tried to recall what he should do, or rather, how he should do it.

But after a long moment of reflection, he still had no effective memories.

Whether it was his own or his predecessor's memory, this area was a blank.

So, the young 'Spirit Medium' decided to do it his way—

"Come, left foot, left foot, right foot, right foot..."

Words slipped casually from his mouth.

Cotton and Grandma Andor looked baffled but followed the rhythm and moved forward.

The surrounding friends and family also felt their bodies wanting to join in the directive.

Therefore, when Linda was the first to jump forward, the rest followed suit, gathering around Cotton and Grandma Andor as they approached Arthur.

Marinda stood to one side, pipe in mouth.

She needed to maintain her identity— The commotion on the lawn had attracted quite a few stares, and she certainly didn't want to make the headlines the next day, especially not in a way that would subject her to scrutiny.

Journaled? She had killed two this year already.

Any more would be rather excessive.

This lady thought to herself, while her gaze swept across the crowd with mild envy.

She liked this joyous atmosphere.

Even if she couldn't partake in it.

But it was precisely for this reason that she loved it even more.

When Cotton and Grandma Andor reached Arthur, Arthur didn't hesitate and directly said—

"Groom, please kiss your bride!"

Cotton was even more straightforward, immediately kissing Grandma Andor.

And at the moment of their lips touching, a faint light emerged from Grandma Andor.

Under the glow, Grandma Andor's face instantly became youthful.

At that moment, Grandma Andor turned back into Nicole.

No, it was Miss Nicole who walked out of Grandma Andor's 'body'.

Not only that, but as Nicole walked out, a pristine white wedding dress appeared on this young lady, and Cotton's worn military uniform also became brand new.

The two 'people' looked at each other in astonishment.

Then, they embraced and kissed passionately again.

Whoosh, pop!

Linda ignited the fireworks she had gathered.

The fireworks flew into the sky, bursting into bright colors.

However, Linda still wore a look of regret on her face.

Because...

There were too few!

And the fireworks were too small!

In the girl's heart, there should be more and bigger fireworks at such a time.

But she had done her best.

Even in South Los's wealthiest district, White Bird Street, finding five firework cases on a non-celebration day was already the limit.

More?

There were simply no more.

Noticing the expression on the girl's face, Cotton and Nicole laughed—

"Linda, thank you."

"You've done your best."

"Yes, it's you who have given us this wedding."

The two 'people' comforted the girl.

Arthur smiled as he watched this scene, and as the officiant, he felt he needed to do something, so he gently tapped the ground with his staff.

The staff collided with the pebble-paved ground on the lawn, and the crisp sound drew everyone's attention.

People looked curiously at Arthur.

Then—

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Bang, bang, bang!

Twelve rockets shot straight into the sky behind Arthur, and a hundred-meter diameter's 'Illusion Fireworks' exploded.

The bright, multicolored glow illuminated the night sky of South Los.

All of South Los watched this spectacle incredulously.

Then, there were sounds of surprise and admiration.

Especially the children, who let out the loudest cheers.

"Fireworks! Such big fireworks!"

"So beautiful!"

These voices carried with the night breeze, quickly spreading through the streets and alleys of South Los, reaching White Bird Street where the wedding attendees seemed to hear such voices.

Or rather...

They were the ones who cheered the loudest.

Encircled by the crowd, watching the fireworks burst, Cotton and Nicole the newly 'wed' were thrilled.

They turned to look for Arthur, intending to thank him.

But the young 'Spirit Medium' shook his head first and preemptively said—

"Happy wedding day!"
