Chapter 1806: Chapter 548, A Meal’s Favor from the Past, Repaid with a Life_2

However, before he could finish his words, there was a "clang", and a Rune Key was thrown onto the table.

Leonard Churchill then lifted his gaze, giving the youth a meaningful look.

How could he not see through this clumsy provocation? This was a ploy to get the collar key and find an opportunity to escape?

Initially, he didn’t intend to pay any mind to it.

But now, it was the fifth day.

Additionally, Leonard sensed a very strong, very powerful aura locking onto him.

Unlocking the collar would also give Ray a bit of a chance.

However, Leonard also reminded, "I advise you not to think about escaping. Otherwise, many people will die. You will also get those trying to save you killed."

"..."

Ray, looking at the inexplicably serious Leonard, suddenly felt something was off.

Before he could think further, Leonard got interested again and said, "How about a bet? If you can’t beat me, become my follower, how does that sound?"

If this guy stayed in the Orlan Royal Court, he would undoubtedly be an enemy in the future.

Since he was Lenny’s grandson, killing him was not an option; perhaps he could save him for now.

Ray sneered, swept away his earlier doubts, and seemed to see through Leonard’s intentions, responding instead of agreeing, "Ha, are you at the Seventh Rank?"

From his perspective, only overpowering realms could give the other party such confidence to deceive him.

Within the same tier, he feared no one!

Leonard was indifferent to the guy’s arrogance.

After all, geniuses needed a bit of pride.

He smiled faintly, "Dealing with you doesn’t require an overwhelming realm."

Ray wasn’t a fool either and had been waiting for this: "What if I win?"

Upon hearing this, Leonard’s lips curved into a meaningful smile. For a fight with no suspense, he casually said, "If you really win, I’ll give you a Thunder Series Divine Artifact."

Ray had an expression of "do you think I’m an idiot?" and mocked, "A Divine Artifact? Do you know what a Divine Artifact is?"

Growing up in the Orlan Royal Court, he was used to seeing many treasures. Even in the Royal Court, there were only a few relics worthy of being called Divine Artifacts, and this guy had a big mouth.

"..."

Leonard shook his head, as if not noticing the small trick Ray was trying to use by talking to divert attention so he could secretly unlock the collar.

There could have been more conversation, but suddenly, his gaze sharpened, and he looked out the window, murmuring, "Has it come...?"

On the street outside the window, a mysterious figure in a cloak walked towards the restaurant step by step.

....

Leonard looked at the cloaked figure in front of him, not at all surprised to be found.

These past few days, he had not hidden, wandering around with Ray, always watched by members of the Iris Legion.

But the cloaked figure in front of him was clearly not from Iris.

Leonard sensed an extremely dangerous aura from her.

A few minutes ago, this aura had already locked onto him.

Leonard was not surprised the other had come for Ray, but what was surprising was how brazenly she had come?

Weren’t they afraid of the scouting vigilance of the Iris Legion?

Clearly, at the moment the cloaked figure appeared, several powerful auras hidden in the street gradually revealed their presence.

"Tsk tsk, interesting, planning to go hard, huh..."

A thought flashed through Leonard’s mind, and a teasing smile tugged at his lips.

At this time, Ray also noticed the cloaked figure behaving very strangely.

Before he could decide whether to seize the chance to escape, a warning sounded in his ear, "If you don’t want to die, you’d better not move."

The voice wasn’t loud, but it reverberated like thunder in his ears.

Ray’s eyes widened, feeling as if his very soul sensed a nameless terror, leaving him completely immobile and deeply shocked: "This guy... how can he exude such a terrifying aura..."

The instant he heard those words, goosebumps erupted all over his back.

From these few days, Ray felt for the first time that this man in front of him was incredibly unfathomable.

It was as if he heard the whisper of death, knowing any reckless move might lead to instant demise.

His wide eyes were filled with self-doubt: Was that earlier conversation serious?

No more words were exchanged between the two.

The not very tall, yet intensely mysterious cloaked figure had already entered the shop.

Leonard kept his eyes on the cloaked figure, seeing the jawline with a slight sense of familiarity as if he had seen it somewhere.

But at this moment, nothing else mattered.

What mattered was, the cloaked figure wasn’t just here for Ray, but aimed at him?

There were still a dozen or so tables of guests in the restaurant, with two tables of scouts watching intently at the cloaked figure.

The cloaked figure didn’t mind at all, walked straight to Leonard’s table, and rudely pulled up a chair to sit down.

Leonard felt the terrifying killing intent and already guessed something, laughing inwardly, "Heh heh, so that’s it... indeed, they want to make a big move."

Seeing this person, he had guessed at the actions the Orlan Royal Court wanted to take.

But there was no fear on his face, only a growing enigmatic smile.

It had been a long time since he felt his blood boiling.

Leonard looked at the cloaked figure seated in front of him, feeling an oppressive aura. However, he did not flinch but smiled wickedly, asking, "Do we know each other, sir...?"

The mysterious person said nothing, lifting the cloak to reveal a somewhat unrefined face.
