He had not expected that he, who had thought to be at the greatest risk, would be the first to mysteriously escape control.

Leonard Churchill looked at the chubby man returning the metal box and knew exactly what he was thinking.

The escape route he had chosen to attract fire showed that he was no longer the chubby boy who used to be afraid of death and hid behind others at the slightest sign of danger.

He was now the head of the Song Family.

Beyond his own safety, he bore the rise and fall of his clan on his shoulders.

Leonard Churchill pondered for a moment and then directly asked, “Which route is now the most dangerous?”

“My wife and the mechanical experts,”

Lew Williams also knew he couldn’t hide his thoughts, and admitted openly, “We have spare machinery and equipment in some secret bases which can be reactivated at any time. But the mechanics cultivated by our Song Family are irreplaceable. The Orlan Royal Court will soon realize that I’ve transferred those experts and will surely send people to chase them down with all their might.”

This was also the reason why the Song Family’s top guards were not with him, their family head.

Leonard Churchill, of course, understood the importance of talent. He took out a map and asked, “What’s the specific situation with that route?”

Lew Williams glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and then pointed to the map without reservation, “They previously left through the secret passage of the factory, heading east to the ‘Thomson Mine’ thirty kilometers away, and from there to Hyjal County further east, where there is a secret base in a deserted area. If all goes well, they should have reached the mine by now.”

Leonard Churchill looked at the route on the map and already had a plan in his head.

He definitely didn’t believe that the Orlan Royal Court would let such a group of experts escape smoothly.

There was no time to waste. He immediately said, “Find a safe place to hide for now. I’ll go take a look.”

Lew Williams was stunned, having not expected Leonard Churchill to make a personal move: “But… ”

He himself had intended to go.

But having just escaped, he would not be able to assemble a team and get there in time.

Not wanting his friend to risk danger, he added, “I’ve entrusted the ‘Thieves Emperor’ Quintu to meet and escort them…”

“Mhm.”

Leonard Churchill nodded.

He had seen that legendary fighter take a stand for the Song Family back at Flood Gang.

He knew, and so did the Orlan Royal Court, about Quintu’s association with the Song Family.

Having had their sights set on the Song Family for a while, they would undoubtedly have targeted measures in place.

Lew Williams could clearly grasp this issue as well.

What he meant was: if even that legend couldn’t protect them, anyone else going there was likely unable to change anything.

However, there was no time for further discussion; Leonard Churchill had already opened the car door, ready to jump out of the speeding vehicle.

Lew Williams saw this, unable to say anything more, and in the end, could only say, “Brother Churchill, you… be careful!”

He knew that if Leonard Churchill dared to go, he must have been fairly certain of his chances.

Among those people were the future of his Song Family and the future of mechanical civilization.

Having someone go take a look was definitely good.

“…”

Leonard Churchill responded with a faint smile.

He didn’t necessarily have to confront head-on; he was also a vanguard for the Southern Continent.

Furthermore, with his current abilities and the trump cards he carried, it was very difficult to run into a truly fatal threat in the East Wilderness.

He was also curious about what means the Orlan Royal Court would use if they really intended to deal with a legend.

…

Leonard Churchill jumped off the car, switched to a motorcycle, and raced onward.

Being an Extraordinary Man, he could also manipulate the air’s wind elements, not worrying about safety in the slightest, as the boiler’s cylinders rubbed to their limit.

Even on the wilderness plains, the motorcycle’s speed exceeded two hundred.

“`

It was said to be running on the road, but in fact, it was flying at low altitude.

Thus, speeding all the way, Leonard Churchill arrived at the Thomson Mine in the eastern suburbs of Starfall City in less than half an hour.

This mine had been exhausted and abandoned decades ago.

For tens of miles around, it was barren and uninhabited, with only an abandoned mining town and a few rusty rail tracks.

Leonard got the detailed evacuation route of that group from Lew Williams, stopped his car in a secluded spot at the foot of the mountain, and then sneaked over quietly.

By his calculations, that group should have just emerged from the secret passage and reached the mine not long ago.

Leonard estimated the distance and headed toward the location where the group was likely to appear.

Originally, he thought it would not be easy to find a group of people who were intentionally hiding in these dark mountains.

To his surprise, as soon as he entered a valley, he heard the sounds of intense combat.

Leonard immediately became alert and was also surprised, “They’re really fighting?”

Knowing there was a Legendary strong individual, he did not dare to be careless; he donned his cloak and quietly vanished into the darkness.

By the time Leonard got close, he saw an ambush battle unfolding.

The group was about twenty to thirty people, most of whom were wearing the work clothes of mechanics.

Leonard recognized at a glance that these were the mechanical experts mentioned by Lew Williams.

These individuals were not new to him; even if the Orlan Royal Court captured them, they wouldn’t dare kill them, at most they would just brainwash them, exerting some Mind Control.

At least for now, there was no danger.

And what Leonard saw at first glance were the two sides engaged in fierce battle.

There were seven or eight suited corpses on the ground, who seemed to be the elite guards of the Song Family.

The one in battle, dressed in a black cloak with an assassin’s hood, was the Legendary card master known as “Thieves Emperor” Quintu, who was supposed to protect the Song Family members.

Leonard had assumed that whoever could stop him must be at least Seventh Grade, or perhaps several Legends.

However, what surprised him was that the one engaged in a fierce battle with the Thieves Emperor was not an ordinary card master but four Mechanical Battle Armors!

“Not Titan Mech!”

Leonard spotted at a glance that the combat power of the four Mechanical Battle Armors before him was far from that of the Titan Mech he had seen in the King’s Mausoleum of Augustus.

They appeared to be a “low-end version” of the Titan Battle Armor.

“Has the Orlan Royal Family already manufactured a part of the low-tier Titan Mech?”

Leonard was quite surprised.

But what surprised him even more was the abilities displayed by the few Mechanical Battle Armors.

The “Thieves Emperor” Quintu was naturally a member of the [spade 2 – God Thief] sequence of Agility-type card masters, extremely adept at swift movement.

Normally, such a powerful combatant would rely on super agility to move around, and even if these were lower-tier battle armors instead of actual Titan Mech, if he could not defeat them, he could still use the complex terrain to move about freely.

However, at this moment, Quintu seemed to be stuck in quicksand, with his movement speed drastically reduced by ninety percent; one could even say that moving was extremely difficult for him!

It was as though with every step, every movement, he was under tremendous pressure.

Visibly, ripples distorting vision surrounded him. This weird force was so strong that even his Protective Field was being torn and twisted.

From a distance, the scene looked extremely strange.

While others might be completely clueless, Leonard realized the issue the moment he saw it: “Gravitational anomaly?”

He recognized at once that there was something wrong with the gravity in that area!

These four Mechanical Battle Armors were actually using an ability almost identical to his own “Celestial Godfall” Secret Skill, manipulating gravity to control the situation.

Once Leonard saw this, he was incredibly surprised; how had Mechanical Battle Armor utilized the Demon God Secret Skill?

How… how did they manage that?!
