Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1249 - Chapter 1249 Chapter 385 Putting on the Black Demon

Chapter 1249: Chapter 385: Putting on the [Black Demon] Chapter 1249: Chapter 385: Putting on the [Black Demon] Leonard Churchill realized that the “substitute puppet” he had made had disappeared, and he also inferred some intelligence.

This was that the people coming from the Southern Continent targeting Ivan hadn’t planned to use force in the City of Thieves, but only aimed to stealthily kidnap him.

This directly proved that the visitors were not exceptionally strong, at least not overpoweringly so.

Once the people from the Southern Continent realized they had been deceived and their plan exposed, they would either abandon their operation or forcefully abduct someone.

Leonard Churchill felt it was most likely the latter.

Therefore, the White Family and the Silver Moon Sect, these two “temporary allies,” were now very important.

Whether it was the Silver Moon Sect or the White Family, both had clashed with him in life and death feuds numerous times, betraying them was without any psychological burden to Leonard.

Watching him snatching the [Moon] in his hand, the atmosphere in the study room suddenly tightened.

The Silver Moon Archbishop and the other high-ranking members exchanged glances, apparently trying to figure out Leonard’s true intentions.

Wayne White looked at Leonard, his fox-like face full of coldness, not uttering any unnecessary words, and said in a deep voice, “You have three breaths’ time.”

The tone unmistakably concealed Killing Intentions, as if they would act mercilessly the moment they didn’t get a satisfactory answer.

Between smart people, dialogue doesn’t need superfluous words, and Leonard of course understood him, but the mocking smile on his face didn’t lessen one bit, instead, he said, “Brother White, we’re old friends… can’t we sit down and have a proper talk?”

Wayne White sneered, “You have two breaths left.”

It had to be said, this guy’s intuition was indeed sharp.

He knew Leonard was stalling for time.

Though he couldn’t understand why, for a person as decisive and ruthless as Wayne White, the best choice in such a situation was to immediately eliminate the target.

Leonard shrugged, a helpless expression as if saying you’re really being unreasonable, brother.

But he also knew this tactic was useless against this guy, so he straightforwardly proposed, “Let’s make a deal. I’ll give you a big gift, and you help me with one thing.”

Wayne White, hearing this and sensing sincerity, began to ease up, but his words gave nothing away, “You think you’re in a position to bargain with me? You still have one breath left…”

But before he could finish his warning, Leonard laughed and shook his head, interrupting, “No. You misunderstood.”

Saying this, he looked at the few people encircling him, his face still stretched in a smile, but with a rising brutal Fighting Intent shining from his eyes, he corrected, “I’m not negotiating with you, but telling you this outcome.”

The gift, of course, was those people from the Southern Continent. If they could be killed, it would certainly be a great gift.

The favor was for them to do the killing for him.

“…”

As these words came out, Wayne White’s expression sharply intensified, and the atmosphere in the study turned frigid to the extreme.

The Archbishop of the Silver Moon Sect and several masters began to exude Curse Power.

Normally, such brash words would trigger a fight.

However, Leonard’s pushiness made Wayne White and his men hesitate.

They could see that from the beginning, this guy was not afraid of being surrounded, and his previous action of snatching the [Moon] seemed clearly aimed at attracting their attention.

Thus, they became even more puzzled about what he was really after.

In that instant, Wayne White had quietly summoned an Immortal Aegis Animal, but even so, he had a strong premonition that the situation was very unfavorable.

In his view, killing Leonard Churchill was as easy as flipping his hand.

Earlier or a bit later made no difference.

But if they couldn’t kill him… then what?

Wayne White, by nature suspicious, felt even more calm due to Leonard’s impudence. He raised his hand to restrain those around him preparing to act and said indifferently, “Tell me about your ‘deal’.”

Leonard, hearing this, wasn’t at all surprised, as the reactions of the other party had all been within his calculations.

It was like expert poker players starting the deal, actually fixing many subsequent moves from the very beginning.

While it looked like many cards could be played, in reality, there was only one “optimal choice.”

A person who could predict the card game would definitely make this move.

But now, Leonard saw more cards than his opponent.

He didn’t beat around the bush, knowing full well that any further taunting “small 3s” would surely provoke the hand filled with bombs in his opponent to respond.

Leonard said, “People from the Southern Continent have already sent a master to the City of Thieves.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the huge study room instantly fell silent.

Wayne White and the members of the Silver Moon Sect all looked dumbfounded, as if they hadn’t

considered any tasks related to Leonard Churchill, Sophia Jones, or other masters of the Revolutionary Army, not to mention Barre Shepherd, the Lionheart Family…

But they had never thought about people from the Southern Continent!

Leonard’s words carried too much information, leaving everyone unable to understand.

Seizing the two breaths’ time, Wayne White suddenly realized and asked, “Was that letter written by you?”

Leonard didn’t hide it, responding lightly, “Yes.”

As soon as these words came out, Wayne White had already figured out the cause and effect.

He didn’t think the person before him was just bluffing.

He must have had some way to know the military intelligence on the letter in advance.

Even more so, the people from the Southern Continent were lured here by him!

Wayne White also knew he definitely wouldn’t get any more out of him, and as for the “deal,” he wasn’t interested.

“Kill!”

At a cold command, a giant man, surrounded by a towering bear from the Immortal Aegis Animals, unleashed a punch.

This man was none other than one of the notorious masters of the White Family, “Rock Bear Bai Jingshan.”

Twenty years ago, he was among the top ten in the last “World’s Number One Card Master Tournament” held by the Federation!

Although not yet in the Legendary Realm, he was also among the elite Sixth Tier Combatants.

Though he looked cumbersome, his speed was extremely fast.
