Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1151 - Chapter 1151 Chapter 353 Sophia Jones Arrives_2

Chapter 1151: Chapter 353 Sophia Jones Arrives_2 Chapter 1151: Chapter 353 Sophia Jones Arrives_2 He had gone undercover in the Silver Moon Sect before, so he was very clear about the nature of these Ancient God Devotees.

From start to finish, their goal was always crystal clear, which was to bring about the arrival of God and spread faith.

In the previous battle at the Divine Ruins Treasure House, Noah Wright’s plan not only severely damaged the Crimson Sect but also wiped out what little power the Silver Moon Sect had painstakingly accumulated.

But those Silver Moon Believers would definitely not give up just like that.

Moreover, the New King of Orlan also needed faith to consolidate his kingship.

“Oh.”

Seven Brown listened with furrowed brows.

She never liked those complicated schemes and plots.

She only half-understood and didn’t ask for details.

…

When it came to familiarity with Sinless City’s sewer network, there were indeed few who could match Leonard Churchill.

This was also one of the planned escape routes.

As they ran, and hearing no one pursuing them from behind, they both slowed down their pace.

It seemed that the enemy had no intentions of pursuing them.

Which was expected.

After all, without the barrier, fighting anywhere they liked, no one would be at an advantage.

They could have escaped the city through the sewers, but suddenly, Leonard Churchill stopped.

Seven Brown, thinking he had discovered something unusual, immediately asked with heightened alertness, “What’s wrong?”

Leonard Churchill’s brows showed a trace of contemplation; after musing for a moment, he said, “I think we don’t need to leave the city. Let’s stay inside.”

The original plan was to leave as soon as they were exposed, but now he had changed the plan.

“Ah?”

Seven Brown listened with some confusion, “Not go out? But this way, aren’t we bound to be discovered again…?”

Since the assassins had found them before, it meant that people from the Orlan Royal Family indeed had a way to locate those drawings.

“No. That was before.”

Leonard Churchill shook his head and explained, “Staying in the city now is safer.”

Although the assassination came very suddenly, from the beginning to the end, the only thing that he truly considered an “accident” was the mysterious Silver Moon expert coming to the rescue.

So, Leonard Churchill suddenly thought of a key question: If Princess Betty is such an important secret agent for the Orlan Royal Family, why would she expose herself just for an assassination attempt?

In Sinless City, there were many experts from the military of the Southern Continent, and any slight clue left behind could be a fatal danger.

So it was definitely not about recovering some replaceable drawings or killing a “deserter.”

Her actions meant that there were gains equal to the risks she had taken.

After deducing, Leonard Churchill believed there was only one possibility.

That was the drawings were more important than anticipated.

…

Seven Brown also immediately understood and said, “You mean, those drawings contain some information that even the Orlan Royal Family considers top secret?”

“Yes.”

Leonard Churchill had suspected earlier that the highly encrypted Mechanical Drawings might be research data for the “Mechanical Angel.”

Now, it seemed it was not just that.

There might also be some secrets involved that the Orlan Royal Family did not wish outsiders to know about–such as the “Dark Energy Ancient Weapon” that could kill a Seventh-Order Dragonkin in an instant!

The theft of the data was an accident.

But in the hands of Leonard Churchill and his group, the problem was not too severe; at most, it could be considered a theft of technology.

But if it ended up in the hands of someone from the Southern Continent, allowing the enemy to be forewarned, it was definitely not what the Orlan Royal Family wanted to see.

…

Seven Brown had spent a considerable time at that base and had also seen scraps from some kind of secret weapon testing.

She immediately understood and became slightly excited.

For a Mechanic, there was nothing more tempting than an unknown and powerful set of Mechanical Drawings.

But then she thought of something and turned to look at Leonard Churchill again, “What should we do with those drawings?”

Originally, the plan was to discard the drawings as soon as they were exposed so that they could ensure complete safety.

But now, knowing that the drawings were special, how could they be so easily discarded?

Leonard Churchill had the same thought.

He had already thought of a plan and said, “We’ll proceed with the original plan. Later, we’ll still find two places to stay in the city…”

Just like before, in case of an emergency, they could support each other.

Seven Brown was concerned for his safety and asked, “But won’t the enemy come looking again?”

The enemy’s assassination attempt had failed this time, and they would surely be better prepared next time.

“No.”

Leonard Churchill shook his head with profound meaning and said, “They wouldn’t dare act rashly now. If I were Princess Betty, I certainly wouldn’t trouble myself now…”

Seven Brown didn’t understand and asked, “Why?”

Leonard Churchill explained, “Having failed to intercept this time, the risk of making another move has increased a thousandfold for them…”

Originally, if Betty had succeeded in killing him instantly, all would have been well.

But unfortunately, she didn’t kill him.

As long as they were still in the city, a real fight would likely expose both sides.

Compared to a few drawings, some plans are obviously more important.

And after being targeted for assassination, they also speculated that Leonard Churchill would have other contingencies, and if they tried to assassinate again, would he expose them?

The other party would not gamble with that risk.

Correspondingly, even if Leonard Churchill knew there was something wrong with Princess Betty, he wouldn’t take the initiative to expose her.

Because doing so would be meaningless for both the East Wilderness and himself.

Unless the other side still wanted to kill him.

For both parties, the best way to coexist right now was: you don’t snitch and cause trouble, and I won’t come looking for you.

Although they didn’t communicate.

It was as if they had silently made a tacit agreement from afar.

Seven Brown, hearing his explanation, had a somewhat strange expression, “Isn’t that all just your guess? What if those from Orlan don’t think the same way…”

Leonard Churchill shook his head, his tone certain, “There are no what-ifs.”

“…”

Seven Brown listened with her eyebrows slightly furrowed.

She glanced at Leonard Churchill, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.
