Leonard Churchill smiled.
Without exchanging words, they silently watched the fireworks throughout the city.
This was the first time Catherine Carter had experienced something like this, which seemed to stir many thoughts in her. Her golden hair fluttered gently in the night breeze, a trace of a smile danced in her eyes, as warm as a spring breeze.
From her childhood till now, she had always been confined to a cage.
It seemed that, in this moment, she had truly stepped outside of her cage.
There were two additional people on the rooftop, in a relatively hidden corner, but that did not mean no one saw them.
At the very least, Leonard had noticed several cautious gazes locked onto him.
There was also another gaze – an onlooker’s gaze.
The presence of Reuel Bible, disguised as a guard, at the banquet was largely to ensure Leonard’s safety.
Of course, he had also witnessed the scene of the two going to the rooftop. His eyes widened in disbelief: “Phew… How did he manage to do that?”
It was one thing to invite her to dance, but to lead Elder Miss of the Anka Clan up to the rooftop? Incredible!
The key point was, had Elder Miss truly agreed to it?
It wasn’t that Leonard specifically wanted to impress Miss Carter.
This act was like when he performed in the circus troupe and offered a piece of candy to a child in tears after being frightened by a lion.
The audience would laugh, and he would be content.
Perhaps it was an occupational hazard of being a clown, imprinted in his bones, which made him be unable to stand seeing others unhappy.
Or perhaps… it was as if he had casually opened the cage of the Lionheart Family and let out a canary.
This seemed to add a touch of fun to the mundane life.
In the end, he did not attach great importance to it.
He thought it was just a chance to enjoy the night breeze, nothing more.
Leonard did not plan on attracting too much attention.
Catherine Carter felt the same.
However, just as the two exchanged a few words and prepared to leave, an unexpected incident occurred.
Without warning, a loud explosion resounded within the manor.
A blast of chill swept over from the north side of the manor.
The cold wind hit their faces, causing Leonard’s eyes to turn sharp: “Someone has acted within the manor?!”
His first reaction was that the leader of the Silver Moon Sect had been discovered, and was now in a confrontation with the members of the X Bureau.
But when he looked sideways at Reuel Bible in the underground corridor, the latter also seemed to be quite taken aback.
Almost at the same time as the explosion, several shadow guards quietly appeared on the rooftop, shielding Catherine Carter.
“Miss, this place is not safe.”
“Hmm.”
Catherine Carter nodded, glanced at the distant explosion, as if knowing something, and furrowed her eyebrows.
She then glanced at Leonard, her lips curving into a gracious smile: “Baron Charles, if there is still a chance, see you next time.”
“Hmm.”
Leonard nodded.
With that, Catherine Carter jumped down from the rooftop, followed by her guards.
Leonard also discreetly followed suit. Without the Miss present, he dared not flutter about on the rooftop of the Lionheart Family alone.
He landed onto the corridor of the sixth floor. The view from here was high, allowing him to see the situation clearly.
At this moment, Reuel Bible also came over, asking solemnly: “What’s going on?”
Leonard shookhis head, replying: “I thought you knew.”
Looking at the situation, other than the Old Days Believers, he truly couldn’t think of anyone who could act so boldly within the Lionheart Family’s manor.
Reuel Bible stared at the direction of the explosion, pondering: “It seems to be the dungeon of the manor… Could it be a jailbreak?”
Leonard had no clue either.
But as long as it wasn’t the Silver Moon Sect members who acted out, it seemed to not be related to him.
However, before the two could figure out the situation, they saw two figures charging out from the rubble of the collapsed building to the north.
The spotlight shone over, revealing two figures on the lawn.
Despite the gas mask that covered their faces, their silver hair was noticeably eye-catching. Behind the girl stood a familiar Demon God’s Phantom.
Upon seeing this, Leonard’s pupils violently shrunk. He instantly recognized her: “Camilla?”
He never expected that he would encounter Camilla, who had been missing for a long time, at this place after they had parted in the Grand Cemetery Labyrinth.
Upon seeing the woman, covered in blood, slung over her shoulder, Leonard immediately understood the situation.
The one person that could make Camilla risk her life to save was most likely her mother who was still in the Royal Court, as mentioned by Tracy Garcia.
Reuel Bible also recognized something after seeing the Demon God’s Phantom. He narrowed his eyes slightly, “Diamonds Q-White Queen, a rare high sequence… Could this be a survivor of the Orlan Dynasty? The Demon God’s Phantom has been condensed to such a degree, that’s strong.”
Having said that, he seemed puzzled: “But it’s strange. How did they appear here?”
Leonard had learned about the major changes within the Orlan Remnants from Tracy Garcia.
Now, his intuition told him that the current situation was definitely a trap.
No matter why Camilla’s mother was in Rose Manor,
the fact was that such important bait had been used to set up a trap to kill Camilla!
Leonard’s expression suddenly turned icy.
Reuel Bible beside him instantly noticed this slight change. Looking at the silver-haired girl in the distance, his eye twitched mysteriously, questioning: “This… isn’t another one of your friends, is it?”
“Hmm.”
With a serious expression, Leonard nodded.
Various scenarios of the aftermath flashed through his mind in an instant.
He did not hide anything.
Because what he was about to do next needed a helper.
And only Reuel Bible could help him.
Upon hearing this, Reuel Bible inwardly felt that a catastrophe was imminent.
Where did this guy get so many strange and quirky female friends?
During the confrontation with Saul Miller, there were two.
And now another one arrived?
But none of that mattered.
What mattered was that he had understood the icy meaning behind Leonard’s eyes.
Daring to create a scene in Rose Manor, this… definitely couldn’t end well.
