Chapter 1573 - Chapter 1573 Chapter 479 Encountering a Love Rival When

Chapter 1573: Chapter 479: Encountering a Love Rival When Leaving the City?_2 Chapter 1573: Chapter 479: Encountering a Love Rival When Leaving the City?_2 Sophia Jones had brought only the elite of the Revolutionary Army this time. Although their numbers were small, their strength was formidable. Any large group would desire to incorporate such a team.

As for what Bonnie said, Leonard Churchill also felt it was only natural. Sophia Jones, although she never revealed her face in front of others, still had an outstanding figure and temperament, which was bound to attract suitors.

That guy named William might very well want to have his cake and eat it too, considering both the person and the team.

But Leonard Churchill never cared about such things, and neither did Sophia Jones.

Watching the blond man hurry over, it seemed he had just received the news and rushed over immediately.

Leonard Churchill chuckled and teased, “Not too shabby.”

Hearing this, Sophia Jones knew what he was mocking and gave him a look before replying, “You’re still far behind.”

It was rare to see Sophia Jones express such amusement. Leonard Churchill teased further, “Ouch… Aunt Jones, are you praising me?”

For some reason, upon hearing this, he suddenly felt in high spirits.

“…”

Sophia Jones’s eyebrows arched playfully as she glanced at him sideways, her lips sketching a helpless smile without uttering another word.

At his words, Bonnie’s sly, sparkling eyes shifted, curiously observing the two of them.

…

At that moment, William caught up to them, pretending to be very familiar as he walked, “Captain Johnson, are you also headed to the Magical Beast Forest? Ha-ha, why didn’t you tell me? When I asked before, you said it wasn’t set, and I thought you were going to stay in Giant Spirit City for a few days…”

He spoke as if they were close, but the reality was that Sophia Jones had been ignoring the guy. Presumably someone had seen them at the city gates, and that’s why he had followed them.

Otherwise, once they actually entered the Magical Beast Forest, they wouldn’t be seen for months, and his chance to cozy up would be lost.

Coincidentally, as soon as this guy arrived, the patrolling officers who were randomly checking teams leaving the city suddenly took notice of the members of the “Great Sword Group.”

Then the lead officer approached Sophia Jones and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, by order of the Holy See, I need to verify your identities…”

The Revolutionary Army members tensed up immediately at these words.

Before they had arrived, there were said to be no patrols. To their surprise, they found the city’s defenses stricter than any other.

Their false identities were a big problem, and they would not withstand scrutiny.

Of course, that was before.

What the group didn’t yet realize was that the identity documents they had just acquired were impeccably perfect.

But before the officer could say more, William gestured grandly, “These are our ‘King’s Knights.'”

Then, turning to Sophia Jones, he said, “Ah, no need to queue up. Come with us this way, straight through here.”

This was a Mercenary Group with official backing, which had its privileged passage.

They did not need any inspection and could directly skip the queue to enter and leave the city.

The Revolutionary Army members breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

In such a situation, even if they were not fond of the man before them, they wouldn’t refuse.

After all, avoiding inspection meant less risk of exposure.

Leonard Churchill watched silently, thinking to himself that this “William” guy really had some tricks up his sleeve.

Creating such a clever situation on the spot, he not only flaunted his influence but also earned a wave of goodwill with his clever maneuvering.

He seemed to be quite the veteran of the upper-class society’s dating scene.

As for Sophia Jones, whether or not she saw through it, she wasn’t interested in such behavior.

After all, she would not slap a smiling face, and she replied indifferently, “Thanks for the offer. But we don’t need it. We’re almost up.”

As she spoke, she proactively handed over her and her team’s mercenary identification documents to the patrol officer.

William, concealing a hint of embarrassment, maintained a radiant smile, “Right, then I’ll wait for you. Our two groups can make a temporary alliance–it’s good to have someone to watch your back along the way.”

The guy shamelessly waited next to the Great Sword Group, joining the queue alongside them.

He kept talking, “Captain Johnson, since you’re new to Giant Spirit City, you might not be aware that the situation in the Magical Beast Forest has gotten a bit complicated recently. Just a few days ago, near Broken Sword Mountain, a major incident occurred when an Eighth-Order Magical Beast attacked an Adventure Group. ‘Golden Spear,’ one of the top groups, suffered heavy losses–hundreds died… You could actually take more time to prepare before setting out.”

The “King’s Knight Group” had also received a task from above, which was to venture into the Magical Beast Forest.

William had come to carry out the mission.

But he had planned to spend a few more days in the city and had not expected to rush over upon hearing the news about the Great Sword Group’s departure.

Although no one had seen this “Captain Johnson’s” face, William, with his vast experience, knew that her presence and figure suggested that she would not disappoint in appearance.

In the society of Dragon Descendants, strength was everything. Many High-Order Female Card Masters would cover their faces, which was not unusual in the Southern Continent. After all, High-Order Card Masters have their pride and prefer people to pay attention to their strength rather than their appearance.

“…”

At the mention of “Eighth-Order Magical Beast,” Sophia Jones’s expression subtly changed.

William thought his advice had had an impact and continued, “The Magical Beast Forest is changing every day, and without sufficient information support, it’s easy to run into trouble… Captain Johnson, which direction are you planning to go? If it’s not the same way, not only can our two groups travel together, but we can also share some information. I’ve just found an Information merchant in Giant Spirit City who’s the most well-informed. He’s a long-standing partner of our King’s Group and also the best guide in the Magical Beast Forest…”
