They all call me Great Master

```

Under the glow of the Illusion Fireworks, everyone's faces were illuminated.

Cotton and Nicole, already radiating their soulmate's unique luminescence, now reflected a distinct spectrum of colors.

Linda watched the 'newlyweds' before her and offered her sincerest blessings from the bottom of her heart.

The girl's Talent was exceptional, but due to her age, she had not understood what happiness was before, nor did she know how to describe it.

But, at this moment.

The girl looked at Cotton and Nicole and thought happiness must be like this, right?

However, she definitely wouldn't want such happiness for herself.

Because...

The process was too painful!

The happiness that came from more than thirty years of parting and reunion became all the more precious, an indescribable feeling that was profoundly good.

But this was not what the girl wanted.

She wanted more, to be even happier.

So...

Strength!

She must have much stronger power!

So strong that if anyone dared to make me unhappy for even a moment, I would make them unhappy for a lifetime!

The girl thought to herself, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards Arthur and Marinda, the black double-breasted coat, the immaculate posture, the handsome appearance, though slightly rounder, did not appear out of place. Rather, it revealed an even more stable presence, and the black eyes under the night sky were all the more profound, like unfathomable deep pools, tempting her to explore.

But there, the deep blue eyes were present.

Unlike the bottomless pools, the azure was like the crashing waves, not only tumultuous but also fierce and direct, just like the golden short hair and the hunter's attire, clean and crisp.

The two of them standing there were not only complementary but also resonated with one another, giving off an impression that no one else could interpose.

Once someone approached, they would either be dragged into the bottomless pool and silently drowned, or torn apart in the ferocious stormy waves.

But the girl unwittingly drew closer.

Not until she came to her senses, did Linda realize she had unconsciously positioned herself between Arthur and Marinda.

Immediately, her face turned red with embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude," she said.

Before she could bow her head and run away, Arthur raised his hand.

"No, you came at just the right time," he said.

Stunned, it wasn't until she regained her composure that Linda realized Arthur had taken her hand and pulled her to the spot initially between himself and Marinda.

The girl was somewhat confused and couldn't quite grasp what had happened.

However, both Arthur and Marinda let out a long breath of relief—

Thank goodness, no vomit!

Thank goodness, she didn't throw up on me!

Usually, before others, Arthur and Marinda could control the latter's aversion to men by slightly misaligning or maintaining a certain distance, but during moments of happiness like these, especially to bless the 'newlyweds' before them, they had to stay very close and smile.

Arthur could distinctly sense when Marinda was on the verge of exploding.

And he was sure, if Marinda were to throw up, she would definitely do so on him.

This woman would not waste such an opportunity for 'outright retaliation' against him!

As for the aftermath?

Arthur believed Marinda would have too many excuses.

But thankfully, there was Linda.

Looking at the somewhat baffled Linda, Arthur said earnestly.

"We will always be family!"

Family?

Family.

Linda felt a sense of loss inside, yet her face showed a smile, and at this time, Cotton and Nicole approached Arthur—

"Thank you, Lord Kledos!"

"And thank you, everyone!"

The overwhelming emotions that words could not describe turned into the most heartfelt thanks.

The 'newlyweds' bowed slightly to their friends and family.

Everyone returned the gesture with a smile and uttered genuine blessings once again.

They all watched as Cotton and Nicole's figures gently began to fade.

The countdown had begun.

Cotton and Nicole looked into each other's eyes, hands entwined.

```

```

Even as they headed toward death, the two were adamant never to part.

However, before leaving, Cotton turned to Arthur.

"I know you don't lack these, but this is all I can offer. I hope you won't disdain it—thank you again, Lord Kledos.

Your kindness is engraved in my heart.

Likewise, I am ready to heed your summons at any time!"

Cotton bowed deeply at ninety degrees to the young 'Spirit Medium.'

Immediately, a special 'Aura of Death' surged from this 'newcomer,' racing towards Arthur's palm. It fused with the special 'Aura of Death' from Baron Kemir earlier, turning into a small, finger-sized sphere, icy cold to the touch—

[Name: Evil Spirit Orb]

[Type: Jewel]

[Quality: Legend]

[Attributes: 1, Cold; 2, Shuttle; 3, Telekinesis; 4, Mirror Shadow; 5, Ring of Evil Spirits]

[Remarks: In an effort to awaken his Bloodline, Baron Kemir conducted multiple experiments during the Seven Years' War, all of which failed. However, it was not without its yields. His power did not awaken while he was alive, but it mutated after his death. Similarly, Cotton, who held his deepest obsessions, also underwent a mutation. He became an unconscious Specter that followed his lover, accompanying her in the purest form until the deceased Baron Kemir discovered it and sensed Cotton's allure. Knowing that by devouring Cotton, he would receive a unique Promotion, Kemir began his preparations. After you disrupted his plans, the powers of Cotton and Kemir fused into this orb, which looks like a sapphire, but because Cotton loathed Kemir's possession and transformation, which caused harm to Nicole, he deliberately discarded these two points. Instead, he enhanced the first four attributes and was very willing to be summoned by you, but you must find the correct way—Nicole, being able to see you again, I finally understand what a Miracle is!]

...

[Cold: You can create an invisible field of -196°C temperature to envelop a single target within your sight, not exceeding 30 meters from your current position, or you may choose to create a freezing zone of minus fifty degrees within a radius of 100 meters centered on your standing point; 3 times/day]

[Shuttle: Your body becomes intangible, passing through walls and other objects, or becoming immune to physical attacks; duration 1 second; 2 times/day]

[Telekinesis: Using telekinesis, move objects weighing up to 100 KG, duration 10 seconds; 3 times/day]

[Mirror Shadow: Show your reflection on a mirror within 100 meters, capable of normal speech and vision, and also borrow the mirror to peep within the mirror's range; duration 10 seconds; 1 time/day]

[Ring of Evil Spirits: Forsaking the powers brought by possession and transformation, you can enhance the effects of Cold, Shuttle, Telekinesis, and Mirror Shadow, and also recharge these abilities]

(Note 1: Cold, Shuttle, Telekinesis, and Mirror Shadow, after depletion, require recharging with 'Aura of Death')

(Note 2: The Ring of Evil Spirits can double the range of 'Cold,' extend the duration of 'Shuttle' by 1 second, increase 'Telekinesis' controllable weight to 200Kg, and expand 'Mirror Shadow's range by 50 meters)

(Note 3: During Shuttle, only the body will pass through, unable to take clothing with it)

(Note 4: Telekinesis cannot move multiple objects)

(Note 5: While using Mirror Shadow, the user cannot see or hear anything outside the mirror's range)

(Note 6: The Ring of Evil Spirits' recharging cannot surpass the inherent number of uses of Cold, Shuttle, Telekinesis, and Mirror Shadow)

...

'Is this what they call reaping the rewards of one's actions?'

Looking at the [Evil Spirit Orb], the young 'Spirit Medium' nodded slightly towards the couple of 'newlyweds.'

And under everyone's gaze, the figures of Cotton and Nicole began to rise slowly, eventually fading into the night sky as though an unseen guide had led them to another world.

This scene was witnessed by the people near White Bird Street.

Many of them changed color.

Thinking of the tales they had heard since childhood, a trace of fear appeared on their faces.

Many began to kneel and pray.

However, the people of Courtyard 44 remained composed.

Because...

They believed in Arthur.

"Eh, where's the body?"

Haywood looked down, only to realize Nicole's body was gone.

"She must have left together!"

Wiggins said with certainty.

Such words gained unanimous agreement from everyone present.

Even Marinda and Linda, who knew bodies don't just disappear, wouldn't say anything extra.

And as for Arthur, who had picked up the body?

'Let's make everything a bit more beautiful!'

The young Spirit Medium thought to himself.

Cotton and Nicole left together; such an ending was enough.

Everyone just needed to remember this ending.

As for the body?

He would choose a place to bury it.

'Tsk, what a hypocrite!'

The young 'Spirit Medium' mocked himself, his gaze turning to Marinda, who had come over once again.

The lady chuckled softly, speaking in a very low voice—

"Now, can we discuss our proper business?"
