Chapter 1820: Chapter 552: Gambling Fight_2

But the "Forbidden Curse Master" Jolin, who was also of the eighth rank, knew!

Leonard Churchill’s killing intent was directed solely at him. At this moment, he realized that the previous comment wasn’t arrogant but a kind warning!

This knight of the Four King’s Knights stood gloomily on the spot, watching the Joker illusion merge with Leonard Churchill. Only then did he realize how terrifying the opponent’s strength was.

It seemed as if he really made a move, the opponent had full confidence they could kill him on the spot!

One must know, top-rank card masters usually have their own means of survival. It’s not hard to determine the outcome, but to kill a card master of the same tier, unless there is a huge disparity in strength, otherwise, it’s extremely difficult.

But now, the confidence that came from being equally matched vanished, leaving only a palpable killing intent!

It’s no wonder Jolin was too stunned to move. Leonard Churchill’s strength was such that even the eighth rank dragon descendants of the Southern Continent would surrender, let alone an eighth rank who took shortcuts.

Others did not realize that in an instant, these two eighth ranks had already crossed swords once.

The atmosphere was eerily silent.

The other card masters didn’t understand what had happened, but Eldest Clan Leader Elsa interpreted something from her brother’s silent cautious expression.

She glanced at her old friend Lenny, and her expression became complicated.

She previously thought her old friend brought outsiders to trap her.

Now it seemed, it was likely out of respect for Lenny that this terrifying young man didn’t take immediate action.

Elsa’s expression darkened, murmuring to herself: "Has Princess Camilla’s companion become this formidable already..."

She actually saw more than others, and with deeper insight.

Even in the Orlan Royal Court, few knew the truth about the power struggle between Camilla and King Arthur.

They also didn’t know the close relationship between this fugitive and the exiled princess.

But Elsa knew.

Upon learning the opponent’s identity just now, she guessed that Leonard Churchill’s raid on this equipment wasn’t simple.

After all, without a significant force behind it, the Titan production line wouldn’t be of much use to anyone.

Especially when asked the question "Loyal to the Orlan Royal Family or the Augustus Royal Family," she had already guessed something.

Nevertheless, the intricacies of royal power struggles were too complex, and no one anticipated the current developments.

....

The old woman didn’t expect that she had guessed only half right.

Leonard Churchill didn’t come here on Camilla’s orders, they were friends, with no sovereign-subject relationship.

This production line was beneficial to the future technological civilization, so he took it on the way.

Moreover, Leonard Churchill was also curious about what the Orlan Royal Court intended to do.

He saw that Jolin didn’t make a move and showed enough respect.

Humiliation wasn’t the goal; Lenny’s favor was worth giving.

He turned to look at the genius young Ray, who was already shocked, and said: "I had an arrangement with Ray before... Let’s do this, I’ll use the means of the sixth tier to duel him. If I win, I’ll take this equipment. If I lose, I promise to give him a treasure, and you can also leave with your items. Of course, if I use any law means beyond the sixth tier, I count as losing..."

Leonard Churchill not only wanted to win but also to change some of the Herlands Family’s stereotypes.

For example, letting them know, there was still a legitimate Augustus princess outside, who had grown very powerful.

Some matters are like sparks on the prairie, don’t expect it to achieve the goal immediately, it needs a slow burn to set the prairie ablaze.

The player can only see the immediate lines, but "I Am the World" let Leonard Churchill glimpse some of the player’s thoughts.

This was a very profound strategic move.

More importantly, his deductions revealed some interesting things.

After all, he had to give that "hidden figure" an opportunity to make a move.

....

As these words were spoken, the Herlands Family was silent.

Leonard Churchill had given enough face, now was not the time for them to play tricks.

The "Forbidden Curse Master" Jolin remained silent, knowing he had no chance of winning in a duel. Even with everyone together, they might not be able to take down the opponent and could attract the powerful figures from Sinless City of the Southern Continent.

The eldest clan leader Elsa glanced at her brother’s expression and finally sighed: "Alright! I represent the Herlands Family and agree to this duel."

Since the family’s strongest, Jolin, had no chance of winning, they had no other choice.

Moreover, in a sixth-tier duel, the family’s thousand-year genius Ray might not necessarily lose!

Hearing this, Lenny beside Leonard Churchill also breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been prepared for a big fight and thought that if it came to blows, explanations would be impossible.

He never expected the situation to turn around suddenly.

Lenny glanced gratefully at Leonard Churchill, feeling an indescribable thrill.

Only now did he realize how meticulous his old friend’s thoughts were, seemingly having anticipated this step from the beginning.

Although seizing the equipment... felt kind of wrong.

But at least, regardless of the duel’s outcome, both sides didn’t have to completely fall out.

Ray, youthful and vigorous, heard his grandmother agree and couldn’t help but shout fiercely: "Alright! Let’s see your methods!"

Even knowing he was facing an eighth-rank expert, the young man showed no fear.

This confidence stemmed from his own strength.
