Chapter 1056: Chapter 732: Grand Finale [03] Si Duidui: To Visit Me, You Must First Present a Visiting Card

The next day.

Without a clear purpose, Nora Scott stopped disturbing the neighbors with noise. Since she slept late the previous night, she slept until well into the morning sun before waking up.

As a result, after washing up and going downstairs, she spotted a "visitor" present.

It was Mr. Bay.

Henry Chapman was sitting in the courtyard enjoying the sun, reading scripts, as if nothing else concerned him. Pedro Langley was "entertaining" Mr. Bay in the living room, though merely by pouring a cup of tea, making no effort to ease Mr. Bay’s stiffness and embarrassment.

Mr. Bay was evidently uncomfortable.

"Miss Scott!"

Hearing the sound of the stairs, Mr. Bay looked up and, seeing Nora Scott, immediately called out, visibly relieved.

Nora Scott squinted slightly, "Hm?"

With just a single sound, yet from her demeanor, every gesture, radiated authority.

Mr. Bay’s eyelids twitched.

Vaguely, he understood Nora Scott’s hint.

"...Master Shishu." Mr. Bay smoothly changed his address, but his lowered brows showed clear reluctance.

He was, after all, a rather renowned master in the martial arts community; how could he acknowledge a young kid as "Master Shishu"?

"What is it?" Nora Scott lazily responded.

"Well," Mr. Bay hesitated for a moment and then said, "I didn’t properly greet you yesterday, so I came over today to check in."

"Oh."

Nora Scott slowly descended the stairs.

Mr. Bay’s brows slightly moved.

He came looking for Nora Scott purely because of Anthony Santos’ repeated cautious reminders.

Last night, following Anthony’s advice, he had people check the entrances and exits of major hospitals, but found nothing unusual. After transferring some "goods" from Villains Valley, still nothing suspicious was discovered.

He thought he could relax.

Anthony must have overthought it.

Unexpectedly, Anthony insisted he come over to see Nora Scott’s reaction.

He came. Yet, Nora Scott was sleeping in, getting up only when the sun was high in the sky. Here she was, ready to eat lunch. Not the slightest hint of manners.

"Did you bring anything?" Nora Scott looked around and inquired voluntarily.

"..."

Mr. Bay was almost choked to death by her bluntness.

???

Who actually asks this kind of question?!

He instinctively glanced at the two gift boxes he casually carried along—which contained some snacks and specialties, nothing particularly valuable.

As expected, Nora Scott strolled over, opened the gift boxes, and after seeing the contents, picked up a pack of nuts, then turned her head to raise an eyebrow at Mr. Bay.

"That’s all you have?" Nora Scott asked.

"..."

Mr. Bay held back from showing a black face.

He was old enough to be her father’s age!

What was her attitude?!

With such a character and disposition, could she even qualify to be his father’s master? What nonsense.

"You might not understand the rules on your first visit." Nora Scott slowly walked to the sofa, took a seat beside Pedro Langley, randomly handed the nuts to Pedro, crossed her legs, and leisurely lifted her eyelids to glance at him, "To visit me, you must first send a visiting card, then gifts."

After a slight pause, Nora Scott continued, "Only after I’ve nodded can you enter."

"You!"

Mr. Bay’s face finally couldn’t hold back any longer.

At this moment, Pedro Langley tore open the nut bag and handed it to Nora Scott.

Nora Scott took it, ate one nut, and continued, "You think you can just meet the Hall Master of Biel Hall whenever you want? With this kind of visiting card, I could receive several boxes a day. If it weren’t for my husband and brother-in-law not understanding martial world protocols, you wouldn’t have had the chance to come in."

"Nora Scott, don’t go too far!"

Mr. Bay, boiling with anger, felt like his hypertension and heart problems were about to act up simultaneously.

"I can be even more excessive." Nora Scott’s eyes barely showed a hint of coldness, "Have you secured the position of curator at Tengfe Martial Arts School? I hear you have a brother?"

"..."

Mr. Bay’s face suddenly turned green.

He indeed had a brother.

His brother was actually outstanding in martial arts, but cared little for fame, running a small shop on Villains Street, living a stable life with his family.

Originally, their father intended to pass the curator position to his brother, but his brother refused, leading the position to fall upon him.

What Nora Scott said...

Mr. Bay’s heart tightened.

"Don’t think just because you’re secure in your position, you can act recklessly." Nora Scott coldly stated, "Biel Hall can support anyone to rise to power. Let alone a mere curator position."

"As Biel Hall’s Hall Master, you’re abusing your power over some gifts... Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at?" Mr. Bay took a breath, feeling like his lungs were about to explode with anger.

"Haven’t you asked your daughter and son-in-law?" Tossing a nut into her mouth, Nora Scott seemed genuinely curious, raising an eyebrow, "I don’t get along with them, so I’m taking it out on their family members; what’s wrong with that?"

"..."

Mr. Bay was rendered speechless by her brazen rationale.

Damn.

What’s with this woman!

As Biel Hall’s Hall Master, she lacks self-discipline, is narrow-minded, and retaliates against others... Is Biel Hall doomed to be ruined by her?

"If there’s nothing else, you should leave early." Nora Scott directly issued the order to leave, "Next time, remember to send a visiting card first. As someone from the martial world, not having even this bit of etiquette?"

"..."

After a silent three seconds, Mr. Bay ground his teeth silently and left.

As he walked out of the courtyard, passing Henry Chapman, Henry "accidentally" knocked over a cup of tea on the table, spilling it all over Mr. Bay, yet showing no hint of remorse. Mr. Bay was almost provoked into rolling up his sleeves for a fight with Henry Chapman.

In the end, he held back.

Mr. Bay hurriedly left.

"Pfft."

Once he was gone, Pedro Langley finally couldn’t hold back and laughed out loud.

He curled his lips, "Aren’t you curious about his intentions?"

"If he was trying to curry favor, he would have brought more than just a few packs of nuts." Nora Scott replied with ease, "Since the gifts were so perfunctory, then his visit here only leaves one reason—testing me."

Pedro Langley vaguely guessed something, "So?"

"Alexander Vaughn."

Nora Scott suddenly dropped this name.

Pedro Langley was taken aback.
