Chapter 309: Chapter 128 – The Same Bet Was Returned_4

Even though she was a gangster, she knew how exaggerated this difficulty and idea were.
Leonard Churchill nodded: “Mhm.”
But he didn’t say much.
Upon hearing this, Sophia Jones gave him a glance.
As if thinking of something, she laughed: “No wonder you were unphased when facing the Elder Miss of the Lionheart Family. So that’s why.”
Killing a legitimate heir of a family, even a simple glance would be out of the question.
Speaking of which, Sophia Jones added: “We from the Flood Gang will properly handle the trouble from before. It won’t inconvenience you further.”
Leonard Churchill nodded.
It didn’t matter whether it was handled or not.
He was probably safe within the Flood Gang, and once he left, nobody knew him, so it wouldn’t matter.
Sophia Jones continued: “Do you want help with the Bounty Orders?”
Leonard Churchill dismissed it: “No need. Thank you.”
Sophia Jones just smiled slightly.
At this point, Seven Brown chimed in: “Oh, right Aunt Jones, do you know if that Breathing Method of Abel’s could become a reality?”
Upon hearing this, Sophia Jones guessed that she was asking on behalf of Leonard Churchill: “Regarding Abel’s Breathing Method, I do know a bit. It is rumored to be a fragment of an ancient Demon God’s secret skill. But I haven’t been in Sinless City for very long. After Lord Nine Brown returns, you could ask him.”
Leonard Churchill nodded.
By coincidence, while the three were discussing the Breathing Method, Sophia Jones sensed something and laughed: “Lord Nine Brown has returned.”
Seven Brown also heard familiar footsteps, “Ah… the old man is finally back.”
Leonard Churchill also curiously looked up.
In Leonardo’s impression, the leader of a gang was usually someone with a large gold chain around their neck, a mountain of flesh, a cigar in their mouth, and a fiercely sharp gaze.
But Lord Nine Brown’s position in Sinless City was earned through strength.
Legend has it that he was already a top expert in Sinless City in his younger years, cruel and vicious, with countless lives in his hands.
Leonard found it to be expected; to become the boss of the number one gang in Sinless City, whether it be strength or action, it had to be on the highest level.
Even if a tyrannical figure like a king’s dragon entered, he wouldn’t find it surprising.
However, because of this expectation.
When he saw a bald, white-bearded, chubby man walk in, he was genuinely surprised.
No bodyguards, no entourage.
Just one person.
No signs of brutality or fierceness in his eyes, and a loose fatty body with no traces of muscle at all.
If he carried a teapot, there wouldn’t be much difference between him and an elder strolling in a park.
Seven Brown, seeing the figure approaching, pulled out a chair, very casually called out: “Oldman, sit here!”
The bald chubby old man smiled, not even waiting for a greeting, and sat down with a grin.
Easy-going and friendly, there was no sign of acting high and mighty at all.
Seven Brown introduced: “Oldman, this is Leonard Churchill, he’s the one who saved my life.”
Sophia Jones also expressed her attitude with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lord Nine Brown, whose eyes were always squinted, flashed a hint of surprise and said: “Young man, since you saved Rita’s life, you also saved my life. I won’t say more, but I, Curtis Brown, will remember this great favor.”
Seven Brown could tell that Leonard Churchill did not like formalities. As it was her own father, there was no need to beat around the bush, so she spoke directly: “Old man, Leonard Churchill wants to inquire about Abel’s Breathing Method. He was waiting for you to come back.”
“Oh?”
Upon hearing these words, Lord Nine Brown, not knowing what he thought, showed a slightly different expression.
He pondered for a moment before saying: “Regarding Abel’s secret Breathing Method, I do know a bit. It hails from one of the Fifty-two Demonic God Forbidden Techniques, ‘Gluttony’. As for the origin of this secret skill, um… it’s temporarily inconvenient to mention.”
Fifty-two Demonic God Secret Skill?
After hearing this from Lord Nine Brown, Leonard Churchill was surprised.
He had previously guessed that the broken Breathing Method was special, but he didn’t expect it to be one of the Fifty-two Demonic Gods.
An inconvenience to speak of?
Leonard Churchill picked up on Lord Nine Brown’s hesitation.
It’s unlikely that he’d be beating around the bush over an issue that could be resolved with a single sentence.
So, did this secret skill involve some important figures?
Without receiving an answer, Leonard Churchill did not feel regretful, instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.
At least he knew there was a continuation to the Breathing Method, and Lord Nine Brown knew about it!
It was only “temporarily” inconvenient to speak of.
However, Seven Brown on the side was not pleased after hearing this.
She touched her father’s bald head, not acting like a gangster’s daughter at this moment, but a spoiled girl acting cute to her dad: “Hey hey hey…old man, he saved your precious daughter’s life. You’re making things difficult when he asks you a question?”
If it was someone else, who would dare to speak to Lord Nine Brown, the boss of the Flood Gang, in this way?
Sophia Jones on the side smiled without speaking, seeming to find this unsurprising.
Lord Nine Brown also made a bitter face: “Rita, stop shaking, I feel like my old bones are about to fall apart.”
Seven Brown continued gloomily: “Old man, just say it or not!”
Lord Nine Brown without another way out, changed the subject: “The day before yesterday, one of Abel’s subordinates, a team captain called ‘Tiger’ Rex Smith, and his base were slaughtered, I think it was likely your doing, right?”
He got his answer from Leonard Churchill’s expression, and laughed: “Then the later verses should be in your hand by now, so there’s no hurry about the Breathing Method. After all, it involves an old predecessor. I shouldn’t make decisions without asking first. But since I, Curtis Brown, have spoken, whether it can be done or not, I will definitely give you a response.”
Leonard Churchill was truly surprised upon hearing these words.
He hadn’t expected that a Breathing Method would involve so much.
Not only did it come from the Fifty-two Demonic God Forbidden Techniques, but also, according to Lord Nine Brown, an “old predecessor”?
From the sounds of it, that predecessor is still alive?
Is there an entity in Sinless City that has such high seniority that even Lord Nine Brown, the President of the Flood Gang, has to be so cautious when mentioning?
Sheesh…
Leonard Churchill finally understood why he was hesitant.
Perhaps it touched upon some high-level secrets?
He concurred: “Thankyou then, Lord Nine Brown.”
Lord Nine Brown laughed as well. Conversations with smart people didn’t require much talking, but he did feel somewhat guilty for not giving anything in return.
He spoke again:” I see that our friend Leonard Churchill has extraordinary strength and should be preparing to progress to Second Tier, right? There’s no hurry about the Breathing Method. I think you can consider other things, such as a Profession Card or cultivating a Secret Skill. At the very least, if you can voice out your needs, the Flood Gang will absolutely pull out the best stuff in Sinless City.”
Leonard Churchill had just recently advanced to the First Tier.
But he could indeed start preparing the Profession Card for the Second Tier.
He experienced the exaggerated augmentation of the original template when advancing to First Tier.
Leonard’s demand for the quality of the Second Tier Profession Card also increased.
This was something almost impossible to buy on the market.
Just as well, here was a person who had great influence in Sinless City. He thought this person should be able to help him.
Leonard knew the other party wanted to return a favor.
He also thought this transparent trade was more appropriate and didn’t beat around the bush. He directly said: “I need a Second Tier Air Skill Master Profession Card template. Preferably an Original Template.”
“Original Template?”
Upon hearing this, Lord Nine Brown’s eyelid twitched again.
Even Sophia Jones, who had remained silent throughout, cast a surprised look.
