Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1221 - Chapter 1221 Chapter 376 Shadow Abyss Market_2

Chapter 1221: Chapter 376 Shadow Abyss Market_2 Chapter 1221: Chapter 376 Shadow Abyss Market_2 There wasn’t such a rush originally, but now it seems, the sooner the better.

“Mm.”

Leonard Churchill nodded.

Unlike him, a lone wolf, Sophia Jones was the deputy leader of the Revolutionary Army, with a million-strong army to manage.

Leonard also shared his plans, “I’m just short of some comprehension before advancing to the Sixth Tier. I plan to stay in City of Thieves for a few days and also look for professional materials at the Black Market.”

Upon hearing this, Sophia Jones remarked with emotion, “It’s really fast… I didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, you’re about to advance to the Sixth Tier.”

She paused, seemingly struck by a thought, and looked at Leonard with a gracious smile.

No one mentioned it until just now, but once she did, Leonard too felt as if a long time had passed.

Their first meeting was at Flood Gang, back when he was just a fresh First Tier novice card master.

After so many twists and turns, here he was, about to reach the Sixth Tier, venturing into the realm of top-rank card masters – something he once dared not even dream of.

As he was reflecting, Sophia’s brow moved slightly, and soon her lips curled into an elusive smile, “Indeed, I’ve advanced to the Seventh Grade and also obtained the ‘Immortal Laws Secret Scroll.’ This will help you even more with the comprehension of your domain.”

Upon hearing this, Leonard’s expression brightened as he murmured to himself, “That’s right!”

He hadn’t forgotten that Aunt Jones had mentioned before that the White Family also had methods similar to the Silver Moon Secret Technique that aided in comprehension.

While Sophia spoke, her gaze gently converged on the plate as she forked a piece of venison into her mouth.

Then she added, “Practice well. Contact me once you successfully advance and stabilize your ‘Domain.’

Looking at that exquisitely beautiful smile, Leonard smiled broadly, “Sure!”

With those words, the atmosphere around the dinner table subtly shifted.

Friends who had accompanied each other on a journey were about to part ways again.

However, neither of them was the sentimental type.

At this moment, Sophia’s charming eyes were full of smiles as she added another sentence, “Be careful not to die.”

Leonard listened, his eyes fleeting with a hint of different color, “Mm.”

…

Sophia Jones left after dinner.

Leonard remained at the table, looking out of the window at the tall buildings of City of Thieves, his expression deep in thought.

He planned to stay here not only for the reason just mentioned, but also because of an important point he had left unspoken.

Intuition told him that some danger seemed to have set its sights on him.

Sophia clearly also sensed something.

That’s why she said that meaningful sentence before leaving.

But she knew, if Leonard needed help, he would definitely speak up, and she would definitely stay.

Since he didn’t ask, then it wasn’t something she could resolve just by asking about it.

While he was pondering, little Ivan patted his round belly and slumped completely on the sofa, muttering contentedly, “Ah… I’m so full…”

After letting out a satisfied burp, the sleepy loli could barely keep her eyes open, and sleepiness swept over her instantly.

“Mr. Leonard Churchill, I’m going to sleep~”

No sooner had she spoken than the girl skillfully leaned on Leonard’s shoulder, resting her head on it, and started to sleep soundly.

Leonard listened to her breathing and shook his head with a smile.

He donned his coat and got up from his seat.

…

Leonard now had many enemies, but they were mainly from the Southern Continent and the Orlan Royal Court.

He wasn’t sure where that uneasy premonition came from.

However, his current strength in the East Wilderness wasn’t such that he could go anywhere, but at least there weren’t many that could pose a fatal threat to him.

Of course, one possibility was the little Ivan above his head.

The Rebel Dragon Army’s power in the Southern Continent was not weak, yet Aragon still sent this loli to the East Wilderness for refuge.

This clearly indicated that the trouble on her was no small matter.

Yet, Leonard didn’t consider it as much of a trouble; danger, for him, had always been a staple of life.

Besides, the Cause and Effect lines involving Ivan weren’t that simple.

Leonard decided to temporarily stay in the City of Thieves because here, with the abundance of people and tangled cause and effect, it was not easy to be found through Mysterious Type techniques; another thought was that, in case people from the Southern Continent came looking, the White Family’s people should be able to block some troubles for him.

…

City of Thieves wasn’t just one of the largest cities in the Federation; it also housed the largest and most hidden Mysterious Material Exchange Market in the East Wilderness.

Leonard had heard of it long before.

Many professions among Mysterious Series Card Masters couldn’t stand the light of day.

Such as Curse Masters, Evil Alchemists, Dark Mages, Dream Stealing Spellcasters, Mystic Apprentices, Grave Diggers…

Card masters of these professions possess innate dark talents and are ostracized elsewhere, unwelcome in other places.

But they needed a place to communicate and exchange materials, hence the existence of “City of Thieves.”

The New World Sect, Dark Brotherhood, Round Table Faction, Crimson Sect, Secrets Group, Poker Cultivator Hall, Scarlet Witch, Corrupt Knights Group…

These infamous evil organizations and assassin organizations in the East Wilderness nearly all have their roots here.

Some of these organizations even have histories that are older than those of the White Family.

The city’s dark underbelly hid countless Mysterious Series Card Masters, bringing with them many rare items and taboo treasures.

Items that couldn’t be sold at auctions, malevolent spells meant for curse practitioners, materials only used by evil card masters…

In short, anything that can’t be bought elsewhere can be found in the City of Thieves.

Naturally, the White Family’s shadow was not absent in all this.

Leonard even suspected that some of the raiding gangs were the White Family’s covert proxies.

…

The Black Market in City of Thieves had a special name–“Shadow Abyss Market.”

Unlike Sinless City, where exiled criminals are, and where the black market could brazenly occupy the streets, the “Shadow Abyss Market” better fits the moniker of a black market. It’s like a fair, with locations and times both irregular, known only to insiders.
