Chapter 1441: Chapter 442: Three People Drink Dragon Root Wine_3 Chapter 1441: Chapter 442: Three People Drink Dragon Root Wine_3 She and Catherine Carter had already talked quite a bit and their interaction didn’t feel awkward anymore.

As she was speaking, she picked up the bottle of wine and looked at it curiously.

Dragon Root Wine was brewed with countless secret remedies. Even with the bottle unopened, a whiff of its aroma was enough to delight the senses.

Seven Brown couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow… this wine smells amazing.”

The wine seemed to have a magical power, causing one’s body and spirit to eagerly desire a taste.

Her personality wasn’t one to hide her thoughts, especially since she wasn’t among strangers, so she straightforwardly asked again, “Can I drink this wine?”

Hearing this, Catherine Carter originally wanted to explain, but thinking of their relationship, she saw no need and simply said, “Of course.”

Saying this, she even twisted open the bottle cap and poured Seven Brown half a glass, “This is [Hebolin Dragon Root Wine], a very rare tonic secret wine.”

Amber liquid flowed into the glass, its rich and thick aroma immediately filling the entire room.

Seven Brown took a sip and instantly felt invigorated, exclaiming with surprise, “Wow! The aroma is so intense! This is the richest-tasting wine I’ve ever had, it’s like the legendary rainbow soda…”

Leonard Churchill had tried it before and of course knew that based on taste alone, it was absolutely one of the best.

Then Seven Brown remembered something, “Right, Miss Carter, what did you say this wine was called?”

Catherine Carter repeated, “[Hebolin Dragon Root Wine].”

“Oh, I see.”

Upon hearing the name, Seven Brown understood something, but her face didn’t show any embarrassment, just a slight flush from the wine’s effect.

Holding her glass, and feeling a bit embarrassed to be drinking alone, she asked the two of them, “How about we all have some?”

She was used to being with Leonard, not minding any issues, and she felt that anything valuable was only worth it when shared with friends.

Just like when Leonard gave her the Angel Mechanical Arm.

Wine… wasn’t it meant to be drunk?

As soon as Leonard heard her say this, he knew that Miss Rita hadn’t realized the potency of this wine.

Oh, that’s right, even he had felt it after the fact.

It was fine to drink other kinds of wine, but Dragon Root Wine was a different matter.

Leonard didn’t know how to advise her.

However, without saying anything and seeing Seven Brown warmly raising her glass in invitation, Catherine Carter hesitated for a moment before agreeing, “Alright. Let’s have some.”

Saying this, with a sidelong glance, she seemed to find the slight embarrassment flickering in Leonard’s eyes all the more amusing.

Without such scenes, one would never see them.

Catherine Carter smiled as she took the glass Seven Brown had filled mostly full, raising her glass for a toast.

If the Lionheart Family’s young lady didn’t mind, Leonard certainly wouldn’t.

After clinking their glasses, the three continued to drink.

It had to be said that after drinking [Hebolin Dragon Root Wine], other drinks just seemed bland and tasteless.

Moreover, the wine seemed magical, becoming more invigorating the more one drank.

Leonard had tried it before, but he found this greedy indulgence rather delightful.

The three chatted while drinking, discussing various topics, serious matters, machinery, and some casual life chatter.

Catherine Carter was very articulate, managing to continue talking about any topic.

Just like that, unbeknownst to them, a whole bottle was finished.

Leonard and Catherine Carter had been able to hold their liquor for a while the last time they drank this because they were both Sixth Order Card Masters with high tolerance due to their bodies.

Although they would also feel the effects of the wine’s tonic properties, their consciousness was completely clear.

However, Seven Brown, as a Mechanic, didn’t have such a sturdy constitution.

After two glasses, the effects spread through her body, and a seductively flushing crimson crept onto her face.

But after all, the Demon God Secret Skill “Mechanical Descent” did significantly bolster Mental Power, so her consciousness was clear, even if her body reacted more than Leonard and Catherine.

Being the daughter of a Gang leader, she was unconcerned with propriety, holding her glass joyfully and asking, “Miss Carter, why do I feel so warm all over after drinking this wine~”

Catherine Carter smiled and said, “Because of the nourishing effects of this secret wine.”

“Oh,” Seven Brown uttered, not finding anything amiss, and further inquired, “Don’t you two feel warm?”

While talking, she casually took off her jacket, revealing her upper body clad in a sports tank top.

Usually, she wore this kind of outfit around the apartment.

It was just today that she had donned a jacket because of guests, but perhaps the effects of alcohol or familiarity made her unconcerned, and she removed it.

Leonard didn’t find it strange at all.

But because of the Dragon Root Wine, there was an undercurrent of an intimate atmosphere permeating the air.

Catherine Carter, seeing Seven Brown dressed so refreshingly cool, couldn’t help but take an extra look, even as a woman, and complimented, “Miss Rita, you have such a great figure~”

Without much thought, Seven Brown responded, “Not really… Miss Carter’s figure is amazing. At Flood Gang that time, I realized, you have the fairest skin of any girl I’ve ever seen…”

As she spoke, it seemed she recalled something, “But speaking of which, our first meeting was quite miraculous, wasn’t it?”

Hearing this, Catherine Carter also laughed, “Hahaha, our first encounter was indeed a bit unpleasant.”

That experience at Flood Gang was unforgettable for her, and as the topic came up, she instantly saw flashes of that past in her mind.

Leonard, listening to their conversation, also thought of something and glanced over.

He couldn’t help but reminisce about some tender moments from the past.

With just the three of them in the apartment, they didn’t need to mind the eyes of others, and as they delved into private topics, the atmosphere quickly turned warm.
