Time flew by, and in a flash, five days had passed.

…

That day.

Early morning.

Leonard Churchill and Catherine Carter both had the habit of rising early.

In the dressing room, Leonard changed into his traveling clothes.

After spending a few days in Machinery City, he was leaving today.

There were no maids around; Catherine personally helped him tidy his clothes.

As she meticulously arranged, she said with a smile, “You’re leaving today? Why not stay a few more days?”

Her tone was light, devoid of any sadness of parting.

Her invitation for him to stay was more of that sincere kind between friends.

Catherine hadn’t changed her clothes and was still wearing the white shirt she slept in.

The loose shirt couldn’t fully conceal her graceful figure; in the mirror, her long beautiful legs shimmered under the light with a whiteness even more pristine than the shirt.

Beneath the shirt, nothing was worn, and a hint of tempting allure was faintly visible.

Leonard casually wrapped his arms around Catherine, who was adjusting his collar, and reaching beneath her shirt, he grasped a large swath of delicate soft flesh, saying, “It’s about time. The Rebel Dragon Army sent a message saying that the Lost Imperial City Behemoth was also spotted in the Southern Continent. I plan to secretly go and check out the situation…”

As he spoke, their gazes met, and he added, “Once the news about the Lost Imperial City gets out, immediately, a large number of Hunting Teams will need to be stationed… This is a big opportunity.”

Some things could only be said face-to-face.

The main reason he had come personally was to discuss this plan.

Catherine enjoyed this kind of intimacy too, and nodded seriously, “Hmm. I’ll have everything prepared on this end.”

As she spoke, she recalled something else and added, “As you expected, there was indeed movement from General Logan’s side these past few days. They found a pretext to transfer away the legendary powers from the base. So, because you’re leaving today, I won’t have any top-level expert to escort you out.”

After all, this was a matter of life and death, so she spoke this topic very solemnly.

Indeed, as Leonard had predicted, General Logan and his faction had truly harbored the intent to kill.

It wasn’t just aimed at him, an outsider, but even subtly threatened Catherine, the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces.

Hearing this, Leonard only smiled indifferently, “Hmm. Minor issue.”

Over the past few days, he had obtained a lot of accurate intelligence from Catherine. With this information as a basis for deduction, he could say that the conspiracies hidden in the shadows and the upcoming ambush… in his view, they were all free of any “surprises.”

“…”

Catherine, noticing his indifferent expression, wanted to say something else but swallowed her words.

She wasn’t worried about Leonard’s capabilities. During their intimate moments discussing matters these past few days, she had already experienced the terror of “I Am the World”.

This was, after all, the exclusive Demon God Secret Skill of the leader of the ‘Thirteen Masked Knights’, recognized by countless masters from the East Wilderness as unsolvable.

In fact, Leonard had deduced information that she would have needed a vast network of informants to understand, even before knowing what was happening.

With such abilities, as long as he didn’t act recklessly, Catherine found it hard to imagine Leonard encountering any danger.

However, that was exactly what worried her.

It was because she had become incredibly familiar with Leonard,

that she was very aware that he occasionally had some rather crazy thoughts.

Like that time in Summer Shepherd City when he encountered a bizarre incident of Time Retrospection. Despite having already found a solution, he still arrogantly chose to start over.

For that, she had taken a palm strike to the chest and nearly died…

Catherine raised an eyebrow, wondering why these past few days her mind had been occasionally filled with memories.

She wanted to laugh yet found it very interesting.

Without wanting to interfere in his decision, she hesitated for a moment and then softly said, “Hmm. Just be careful.”

Leonard, hearing this, looked at his own reflection in the mirror and cracked a smile, revealing his neat white teeth.

To him, a sense of crisis had always been the vibrant color of life.

…

Soon after, the two of them walked out of Machinery City.

“I won’t see you off then. Next time we meet, remember you owe me a drink.”

“Sure.”

Catherine stood at the entrance of Machinery City. As the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, she couldn’t escort him too far.

Leonard didn’t mind at all.

After waving goodbye to each other, Leonard turned and disappeared into the darkness.

Catherine watched the retreating figure of her old friend and sighed softly before turning to head back into Machinery City.

Now the entire Alliance Army knew about her relationship with Leonard, and this farewell had drawn much attention.

After seeing Leonard off, Catherine conducted her usual inspection within Machinery City as if nothing had happened.

While walking, someone suddenly spoke from within her shadow, “Ma’am, based on your estimated position, it will take us at least ten minutes to get there from here. If something happens… it might be too late. Should the Shadow Guard really not follow?”

A Seventh Rank could kill many times over in ten minutes.

Catherine responded calmly, “No need. If you guys follow him and are discovered, then the plan will be ruined.”

The shadow persisted, “But what if…”

The Shadow Guard, tasked with protecting Catherine closely, knew many secrets unknown to outsiders.

“There’s no ‘what if’.”

Catherine shook her head, her words seeming to reassure herself.

Whether as a friend, or as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces, she could not allow General Logan and his people’s plans to succeed.

Catherine knew Leonard’s plans definitely wouldn’t encounter any ‘what ifs’ and added, “He’s already noticed you guys. And do you really think he doesn’t know I’d arrange for someone to be there? The place he chose is precisely so nobody would disturb him. Besides, it also creates an irresistible ‘great opportunity’ for those schemers.”
