Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1150 - Chapter 1150 Chapter 353 Sophia Jones Arrives

Chapter 1150: Chapter 353 Sophia Jones Arrives Chapter 1150: Chapter 353 Sophia Jones Arrives With the death of Painter Pablo, the Orlan Royal Court’s assassination attempt essentially came to an end.

Although “Puppeteer” Domingo was not afraid of Leonard Churchill and Seven Brown, he also wasn’t confident he could take them down right under the noses of those people from the Southern Continent.

Originally, Leonard Churchill was intent on experiencing the true capabilities of this one of the King’s Four Knights.

Unfortunately, a sudden Silver Moon Illusion Technique disrupted the original plan.

In the moment he became exempt from the spell, he immediately perceived a fatal crisis and decisively transmitted through his communicator, “Directly ahead, full firepower coverage!”

This assassination had brought in a Legend, and an Elite Assassin Squad, which was already a high-level arrangement, sufficient to kill the two identified as Leonard Churchill as per the intelligence.

Normally, there would not be any backup.

But now, against all odds, backup had arrived.

Moreover, it arrived just as the enemy’s plan was on the brink of failure.

It was clearly a rescue.

And anyone daring to come must have the strength for a successful rescue.

Leonard Churchill felt that if it was as he had guessed, the person coming might be Princess Betty, who had been contaminated by the Silver Moon.

That would complicate matters even further.

He always felt that the Orlan Royal Court had laid out a huge trap, and this Betty was a very important part of it. It wasn’t worth exposing her here.

So, if that woman was willing to risk exposure, she must be confident that Leonard Churchill and his companion would die here.

Instinct told Leonard Churchill that it was best to make an escape.

…

“Good!”

Seven Brown in the distance did not hesitate at all; the ammunition chambers on her battle armor clicked as dozens of mini magic-energy missiles whooshed out.

The missiles exploded into a fierce shockwave of blue flames underground, sending a destructive force scattering throughout the corridor.

Domingo didn’t understand why they had suddenly lashed out.

But he had to reinforce his Domain Barrier to contain the shockwaves.

“Quick, retreat!”

Seizing the opportunity, Leonard Churchill instantly appeared beside Seven Brown and urgently instructed her, “No matter what abnormal behavior I exhibit later, just take me and go!”

This abrupt change in battle command left Seven Brown momentarily perplexed: “???”

It was during this moment of hesitation that from Leonard Churchill’s pocket, a little hand holding a paintbrush stretched out and traced in the air, revealing a Space Rift.

“Huh?”

Seven Brown had witnessed Ivan’s Spatial Ability before, yet she couldn’t hide her surprise at this scene.

That little girl could actually take people through space?

Oh, she almost forgot, they had just come out from that painting a moment ago.

Without dwelling on it, she understood what Leonard Churchill meant by retreat and decisively charged toward the Space Rift.

Just then, with a glance from the corner of her eye, she saw Leonard Churchill as if disrupted by some Mysterious Type force, his pupils dilating and his body suddenly standing frozen in place.

“Controlled by a mental technique?”

Seven Brown finally understood the reason for his previous warning, and she suddenly realized.

So, an incredibly strong Mysterious Type enemy had arrived somewhere out of her sight?

Given that Leonard Churchill was affected, one could imagine how formidable the enemy’s strength was.

Protected by her God Hunter Mech, Seven Brown was unaffected.

Upon noticing Leonard Churchill’s abnormal state, she wasted no time, grabbing him and then, without looking back, barreled into the Space Rift.

The rift closed, and the two of them disappeared on the spot.

In an instant, at the end of the nearby corridor, the sound of light, rapid footsteps arose.

A Cloaked Figure wearing a cloak slowly walked out.

Watching as her targets escaped, a gloomy expression crossed the pretty face under the hood, and she let out a light exclamation, “They’re quite decisive in their escape. Strange, how did they spot me?”

If they had hesitated for even a second, neither of them would have been able to leave today.

Such a pity…

Domingo, who had just been confused about why Leonard Churchill and his companion fled, saw the Cloaked Figure and his expression changed slightly.

The assassination plot had failed, and now that the queen herself had shown up for the rescue, he was greatly at fault.

Not daring to delay, he immediately performed a Knight’s salute while protecting his chest and respectfully said, “Your Majesty, I have seen the Queen.”

“Hmm.”

The Cloaked Figure hummed softly in response, and the pale moonlight emitting from the [Moon] in her hand also faded.

She glanced at Domingo and said indifferently, “Don’t bother chasing them. Higher-ups have already noticed the commotion here. You find your own way out. And, don’t let any mistakes happen with ‘Moon God’s Descent’…”

Domingo’s expression turned stern: “Understood!”

…

“Clop, clop, clop, clop…”

The sound of boots splashing in sewage echoed clearly through the dark tunnel.

Seven Brown carrying the limp body of Leonard Churchill dashed through the complex underground network.

Moments later, Leonard Churchill’s pupils refocused.

He was now free from the state of illusion.

Seeing himself on Seven Brown’s shoulder, he quickly grasped the situation and inwardly exclaimed, “That was close.”

Having injected a Clarity Potion and still fallen victim meant that the assailant’s techniques were as strong as expected.

It was also fortunate they had decided to retreat so decisively, or they really would have suffered greatly.

As his pupils refocused, as if his soul had just returned to his body, Leonard Churchill said, “I’m alright now.”

Upon hearing this, Seven Brown finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, she was full of confusion and voiced her doubts, “What just happened?”

“Caught in an Illusion Technique,” Leonard Churchill answered.

He also lost consciousness for a moment there, but looking at the circumstances, it wasn’t hard to guess what happened and he added, “It must have been a master from the Silver Moon Sect.”

“A person from the Silver Moon Sect?”

Seven Brown sounded quite surprised upon hearing this, then she immediately thought of those brainwashed Mechanics back at the base.

“Yes.”

Leonard Churchill voiced his speculation, “This war, the Orlan Royal Family was not entirely unprepared. They have planted some very important moles high up in the Southern Continent. I suspect those people may be conspiring something…”
