Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1053 - Chapter 1053 Chapter 324 Old Friend

Chapter 1053: Chapter 324 Old Friend Chapter 1053: Chapter 324 Old Friend Leonard Churchill estimated that the ones controlling those three Titan Mechs must be Undead Spirits, which made their perception as limited as other Undead Creatures in the Underground Palace.

If it had been living humans controlling them, the eight of them would not have had such an easy time feigning death to deceive them.

After lying still for a short while, the mechanical friction sounds in the maze finally disappeared.

But no one on either side dared to move.

No one knew whether the three Titan Mechs had gone far, nor were they certain about the extent of their sensory range.

In this way, nearly half an hour passed by in the blink of an eye.

Long and anxious.

While playing dead, Leonard Churchill also repeatedly pondered everything.

Whether it was the people from the Southern Continent or those three Tombkeeper Mechs, none could be defied with force.

To survive, all he could count on was the Angel’s Remains and the sometimes unreliable Elder Clinton…

No matter which way he thought about it, he felt there was a very high chance he would die in the current situation.

But Leonard always had a very strange feeling.

Ever since Prince Salo bought the “Grave Digger’s map” from the Information merchant, it seemed that everything had become inevitable, leading to the present circumstances.

Getting the map inevitably led to investigation, and after the investigation, the discovery of the King’s Mausoleum, trapping the dead in the tomb…

The sequence of events was clear, and everything felt like it naturally fell into place.

Yet it was because of this seemingly normal plot progression that Leonard always felt there were some hidden threads of cause and effect that he had not noticed.

The sudden appearance of the Titan Mechs was definitely triggered by someone setting off some restriction within the tomb.

Most likely, it was Wayne White of the White Family.

However, although the White Family had a long heritage, they might not be aware of the details of Augustus’ Mausoleum.

Now that the White Family had become the High Priest of the Orlan Royal Family, Leonard always felt Wayne White’s presence here must be under the New King of Orlan’s instruction.

But if the Orlan Royal Family was involved…

The matter was not that simple.

Leonard thought of some possibilities in his mind.

But the reality lacked some necessary evidence to confirm his speculations.

Soon, he got his confirmation.

…

The eight of them just lay on the ground, feigning death.

Hoping the three Mechs had not discovered their target and then returned to the palace.

Only then could this deadlock be broken.

However, a slight current of air suddenly flowed through the Underground Palace.

Though faint, everyone present was a master with an extremely sharp perception.

All of them simultaneously realized one thing: Is someone fighting?!

The Underground Palace had been silent for thousands of years.

Without outsiders entering, there would be a deathly silence, not even air flow.

This meant that besides them, there were others in the Underground Palace!

The direction of the battle was distant, and the fact that the shockwaves could reach here meant it was not a minor disturbance.

But who could these people popping up out of nowhere be?

The ones from the Southern Continent were still guessing what the situation could be.

However, when Leonard sensed this disturbance, his heart suddenly became clear, “So it is indeed as I suspected…”

Wayne White alone certainly did not have the clout to cause such a commotion.

There was only one possibility, someone from the Orlan Royal Family had arrived!

If it was really as he had deduced, then Leonard thought his old friend should have also come.

Thinking this, Leonard’s heart suddenly resumed its normal rhythm, and then he abruptly got up.

This faint movement made Prince Salo’s group, not far away, tense up, thinking he was going to take the risk and flee.

After all, even if they had avoided the mechanical monsters, they would definitely not let these three go.

Anyone with a brain would choose to escape.

Without waiting for the command, Prince Salo’s Security Squad Leader immediately rolled to his feet, ready to make a move.

Unexpectedly, Leonard, who had stood up, showed no intention of fleeing.

His furrowed brows relaxed completely, he warmed up his muscles stiffened by the cold, and he ignored the Silver Armored Guard who had him in his sights.

A moment ago it was a dead end…

But now, it wasn’t anymore.

The weak vibration in the air completed the last link in his deduction.

Elder Clinton and Colin watched Leonard stand up, and they also got to their feet.

They were clueless, but there was no time to ask questions.

Because at this moment, Prince Salo’s group, sensing that something was amiss, also stood up from their feigned death.

The two sides confronted each other.

Neither daring to make the first move.

Watching the composed Leonard across from them, the expressions of the five from the Southern Continent grew even more serious.

They could not understand where the calm confidence of the man opposite came from.

…

The higher a card master’s tier, the more acute their sense of crisis.

All five of Prince Salo’s party faintly sensed the same deathly threat that had loomed over them when they were being chased by the Mechanical Titans.

It was as if they were being watched by some mysterious presence.

Old Karen, a Seventh-Order Card Master, glanced at the golden coffin next to Leonard and knew that there must be something dangerous inside.

Yet he was confident that if any of those three opposite him made even the slightest move to touch the coffin, he could immediately slay them on the spot.

Of course, Leonard knew that he could not make any sneaky moves in front of a Seventh-Order Card Master.

If he had wanted to release the Angel, the moment he had stood up was his only chance.

Now, however, he had no such intention.

Instead, Leonard looked at the people from the Southern Continent before him, his deep pupils gleaming with a touch of mockery as he said, “Prince Salo, are you interested in making a bet?”

Hearing this, Prince Salo scoffed disdainfully, “Haha.”

He was the Nineteenth Prince of the Red Dragon Kingdom, a high-ranking noble, a Pure-blooded dragon descendant.

Not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry had the privilege of speaking with him.
