Chapter 145: The Forbidden Void of Nonexistence
Translator: 549690339
The banquet at Rose Manor was still ongoing.
Not far from the manor, on the rooftop of a small building, two cloak-clad figures watched the brilliant lights from afar.
“Boss, there are many experts in the manor. If we don’t get involved, something is likely to go wrong.”
“We can’t save them. No matter how I calculate, the one in the prison will undoubtedly die tonight.”
“What about… that one? After all, she just agreed to join us… ”
“This is the path she chose to walk, we can’t help. If the Demon Mark can be completely unsealed, she can survive today. If not, she dies. It’s up to her.”
The cloak-clad figure held his pen, pondered for a while, and continued recording, ‘The party in the luxurious mansion continues, and the guards are completely unaware that a figure has quietly sneaked into the dungeon on the north side of the manor. It seems that someone intentionally spread the news, and what awaits her are layers of traps. Unfortunately, the guards underestimated her strength. After a fierce battle, she escaped with her mother, who had been horrifically tortured… But her mother had a tracking mark on her. When the high-tier card masters of the Anka Clan entered the scene… She refused to retreat. In order to give her daughter a chance to live, the mother, with tears of love in her eyes, bid her farewell, ‘Have a good life if you can,’ and then committed suicide. With nothing to tie her down in this world anymore, the Demon’s Power of the Epic Source Card ‘Diamond Q’ awakened, and the
White Queen descended…’
Having written this, the cloaked figure thought for a moment, and murmured, “Hmmm… it seems like I miscalculated something?
He pondered for a moment.
Savoured the unexpected twists and turns.
He was certain that there was some fluctuating variable of fate at play.
Then he remembered this sentence left by his teacher: ‘The laws of the universe are fifty, forty-nine are ordered and one is chaos.1
So, he put down his pen and observed everything in the manor with interest.
After completing his mission, Leonard Churchill felt somewhat idle.
In two consecutive dances, he was the only male guest who was invited to dance by Catherine Carter.
This was enough for him to enjoy numerous adoring glances.
But for him, it held no joy.
Leonard glanced around; his cousin, Sophia, wasn’t in the banquet hall anymore.
But it didn’t matter where she was.
He left the banquet hall and walked to the corridor on the second floor, leaning against the railing.
From here, he could see the fireworks in the Upper City of Sinless City.
It didn’t take long before a rotating guard in heavy armor walked to the side of a pillar.
The voice of Reuel Bible came from inside the armor.
“How on earth did you manage to do that…”
“Catherine Carter?”
“Who else?”
“It was just a dance…”
“Do you see anyone else able to dance with her? I’m starting to suspect that you’ve been tainted, that you used some kind of Pleasure Secret Art. But that’s not right. Silver Mist Rose wouldn’t be so easy to taint.”
Leonard laughed when he heard this.
The two shared similar temperaments and didn’t refrain from joking around. He didn’t want to continue this topic and instead asked, “How is Young Master Kak?”
The Silver Moon Leader went there personally after all.
Reuel responded, “Another team from the Bureau is watching over there, so it should be no problem. But you should be careful, I can’t quite see through that Silver Moon Leader anymore…”
Leonard nodded: “Mhm.”
He was undercover to get Mental Secret Skills for himself.
As for passing on some information to the X Bureau, that was something he did along the way.
He was always ready to run if something went awry.
The two of them briefly exchanged some currently known intel but didn’t think it was an opportunity to move in and catch the Silver Moon Sect.
Reuel Bible wasn’t confident that he could certainly kill the Silver Moon Leader.
Moreover, it seemed pointless to even kill him.
From what was seen at present, the Silver Moon Church had grand plans, and it wasn’t simply about a few believers.
If they killed these few believers now and startled the snake in the grass, they may never have another chance to infiltrate in the future.
They couldn’t act rashly without absolute certainty.
Reuel also felt troubled.
Thinking of something, he then took out a Containment Card and said, “Right. This is the magic core you said you needed last time. The magic core of the Hellish Breed Demon Beast ‘Four-Headed Fission Worm’, with the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire. It’s an ‘Excellent Shining Silver’. It unites the four essential elements, enabling the conversion of all known elements. This is far more superior than any multi-element magic core.” At a glance, Leonard was taken aback by the card with the symbol of a four- color crystal on it, and exclaimed, “Is it really that powerful?” He had previously asked him to find some primal materials for an air skill master.
He thought it would be good to find a multi-elemental Shining Silver Magic Core, but he didn’t expect it to be “Excellent Shining Silver”.
“What did you expect? You’ve risked your life to infiltrate, so of course, I have to arrange the best for you.”
With full confidence, Reuel added, “Moreover, you’re lucky. This artifact has been stored in the warehouse for over fifty years. Noah Wright rummaged through the bureau’s archives and found that only this one has been discovered in the past hundred years. Other card masters can’t use such a tricky magic core, otherwise this treasure definitely wouldn’t have been left till now.” Leonard, well aware of the rarity of the magic core, laughed and said, “Thanks.”
He thought to himself; it’s really convenient to have a friend in official circles.
This magic core was indeed a fortuitous treasure.
If he had to find it himself, he might not even get it in several lifetimes.
The two were straightforward and didn’t bother with beating around the bush. Just as they were about to continue talking, Reuel, noticing something, said, “Someone’s coming. I’m leaving first. You’ll know what to do if anything happens.”
