Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1561 - Chapter 1561 Chapter 476 The White Familys Secret Skill

Chapter 1561: Chapter 476: The White Family’s Secret Skill Chapter 1561: Chapter 476: The White Family’s Secret Skill Leonard Churchill, although in disguise, was recognized by Sophia Jones at first sight.

Originally, they entered the city to go to the Mercenary Union to post a message.

Now that they had encountered each other, it was perfect.

Sophia Jones stopped perusing the mercenary information and turned to her companions to say, “I’ve run into a friend, you don’t have to wait for me, go back to the inn first.”

As she spoke, she didn’t explain further and just walked out the door.

“Ah, Captain, you…”

This scene left the executives of the Revolutionary Army utterly baffled.

Did their leader have such a broad network, with friends even in Giant Spirit City?

…

After leaving the Mercenary Union, Sophia saw that Leonard Churchill was already waiting by the roadside.

There had been many people around earlier, and she didn’t want to be targeted by informants from some intelligence organizations.

Their eyes met, and Leonard immediately greeted her warmly, “Aunt Jones, long time no see!”

Sophia softly replied, “Yes, long time no see.”

As she spoke, she glanced at Leonard and noticed his increasingly reserved air, guessing that his cultivation must have greatly improved, and added, “You’ve changed quite a bit.”

“Heh…”

Leonard smiled noncommittally.

His power had indeed become much stronger than when they last met.

But that was a topic too complex to explain in just a few words.

He observed Sophia’s striking armor and great sword outfit, brightening as he said, “Aunt Jones, your change is also great.”

It couldn’t be denied, the lady’s armor suit fitted her temperament just like a cheongsam–always seeming to suit her perfectly.

Capable of gentleness and heroism, the dual facets of a Lady Valkyrie.

Sophia’s face was hidden under a cold steel mask, making her expression unreadable, but at those words, her eyebrows evidently curved in a smile.

After some simple reminiscing, Leonard asked directly, “Aunt Jones, when did you arrive? What brings you to Giant Spirit City?”

“We just arrived tonight. Came with the transportation team of the Rainbow Consortium.”

Sophia spoke concisely, then added, “Came here looking for some extraordinary materials.”

“Oh?”

Leonard saw her travel-worn appearance and guessed she had just arrived in the city.

They were originally supposed to contact each other using communicators.

But the war between the Southern Continent and the East Wilderness had provided valuable experience, cultivating many Demon Beasts and Transcendent beings capable of detecting communication waves.

In the war division of the Royal Academy, there was a department specifically researching East Wilderness machinery communicators.

Using those was too risky.

So, he had put his away.

Thus, when he saw her at the Mercenary Union, he guessed Sophia was probably there to post a message.

Hearing her latter words, Leonard’s expression brightened with anticipation, speculating, “Are you advancing in tier?”

Seeking materials meant she was preparing to advance to the Eighth Rank.

The shock came because it was after arriving at the Royal Academy that he thoroughly understood the advancement process for top-level card masters–the higher the tier, the more difficult the advancement.

If “Divine Power” was the hallmark of entering the demigod level on the spiritual aspect,

Then advancing from the Seventh to the Eighth Rank was the threshold of the physical body entering that of a demigod.

Even in the Southern Continent, this was considered among the topmost power echelons.

Leonard had not expected that Sophia’s visit would bring such good news.

“Indeed.”

Sophia nodded lightly, treating that realm most yearn for as if it spurred little turmoil within her.

She added, “The advancement materials require some Eighth-Order Magical Beast materials, which are hard to find elsewhere, so I came to look. Moreover…”

There was much to catch up on after not seeing each other for a long time, but before she could finish, considering the bustling street, Leonard suggested, “Come on, Aunt Jones, let’s find a different place to talk. I’d like to buy you a drink.”

Sophia knew this wasn’t the place for catching up and agreed, “Alright.”

Leonard hailed a Jumping Dragon Beast Car, inviting Sophia aboard.

Sophia found this mode of transport quite novel, and happily accepted Leonard’s hand, stepping onto the seat.

…

Now considered a big shot in Giant Spirit City, Leonard knew the taverns well.

The beast carriage sped along, and soon they arrived at South City District.

Giant Spirit City, a meeting point for adventurers and mercenaries, was naturally brimming with entertainment venues.

South City Lefu Street, where a plethora of adventurer taverns lay.

Before long, Pterosaur Tavern.

At a window table on the second floor of the tavern, Leonard and Sophia settled down.

Long time no see, both were in the mood for a drink.

The Southern Continent boasted many unique spirits, and Leonard, playing host, ordered generously.

The tavern was at its busiest, abuzz with noise.

With most around them dressed in similar adventurer attires, Sophia’s outfit did not stand out.

Seated at a corner by the window, Sophia removed her mask, revealing her intelligent and beautiful face.

Looking at that familiar yet stunningly pretty face, Leonard couldn’t help but compliment, “Wow, Aunt Jones, you’ve become even more beautiful.”

Complimenting a lady’s beauty was a gentlemanly act, and the comment was not out of place.

Sophia listened, raised her hand, her slender fingers sweeping a strand of hair behind her ear as she smiled softly, “Hehe.”

Both being close, neither minded such remarks.

While drinking, they chatted.

Touching glasses, Leonard voiced his curiosity, “Aunt Jones, why are the commanders of the Revolutionary Army here?”

Sophia had no reservations about speaking frankly to him, sipped her drink, and began slowly, “The past Revolutionary Army was merely a resistance organization formed by the poor to fight against the oppression of the Federal Government. Now the status in East Wilderness has been controlled by the Orlan Royal Court and the Silver Moon Sect, losing its purpose. The main forces of the Revolutionary Army have moved to the mountains. But that area is too barren and also needs resources. We, the fighters, came out to find resources. Since the commanders also needed high-tier Transcendent”]),-resources, we decided together, just…”
