Reuel Bible thought deeply about it, and finally gave Leonard Churchill a glance before vaguely saying, “Perhaps you can ask your friend in the future.”
“Hm.”
Leonard Churchill nodded in agreement.
The lively evening banquet at Rose Manor was suddenly interrupted due to this unexpected prison break.
The Lionheart Family lost quite a few of their elite beast guards in battle, suffering substantial losses.
But this wasn’t the most important part.
The magnitude of the complications in the aftermath of this event far exceeded their imagination.
The Golden Lion’ Carlo, a prominent war general in the Federation, disappeared angrily without a trace after failing to kill Camilla.
The banquet simply couldn’t continue.
After briefly explaining a few things to their guests, the party ended, and people started to leave.
Seeing that Camilla’s mother, who should have been in the Royal Court, was here, Leonard Churchill knew the matter wasn’t so simple.
It’s likely that the Lionheart Family and the remnants of the Orlan Dynasty had formed an alliance.
One side was the Federation’s most ambitious military despot while the other consisted of remnants of the Old Era wishing to restore the dynasty.
Even without giving it too much thought, it was certain that future prospects within the Sinless City would be complicated at the very least.
However, this didn’t concern Leonard Churchill in the least.
To Leonard Churchill, it was only important that his friends were alive.
He had no intention of remaining in the manor for long.
Just at that moment, he saw his cousin “Sophia” emerge from somewhere, appearing within his line of sight.
Greeting Reuel Bible briefly, Leonard Churchill headed downstairs.
Sophia locked her arm with Leonard Churchill’s, walking together with him towards the exterior of the manor.
Once they were inside the car, with no outsiders around, the sense of innocence and purity in the Silver Moon Leader’s eyes vanished instantly, replaced by an intense depth.
“How did it go?” Leonard Churchill asked.
“Even though there was a small mishap, the ‘fish’ has bitten the hook,” Sophia responded calmly.
“Oh?”
Leonard Churchill was surprised.
Did she manage to get her plan going even with all the X Bureau’s meddling? Despite his surprise, his expression remained unchanged. Instead, he warned her, “You need to be cautious. Reuel Bible told me that some accompanying the Young Master Kak are experts from the X Bureau, waiting in the wings for an opportunity.”
Sophia looked at him upon hearing this, simply acknowledging, “I noticed that as well.”
Leonard Churchill didn’t elaborate further, understanding he had done his part in providing this twin-faced mole’s information.
After pondering for a bit, Sophia continued, “I’ve implanted a psychological suggestion to the Young Master Kak, he will definitely come to find me. I’m going to use some tactics in the upcoming days, but others may notice.”
So?” Leonard Churchill raised an eyebrow at this.
If the Silver Moon Leader was exposed, there was a good chance he would get implicated as well.
His underlying motive for going undercover was to learn the Mental Secret Skill, not to destroy any evil organizations or risk his life for the Silver Moon Sect.
Sophia laid out his escape route casually, “So, it might be better if you find some excuse to leave Upper City tonight. The Lionheart Family is planning to establish New City in the Old Continent, which is also a future strategic location for our sect. And your identity, Baron Charles, is suited to go and seek opportunities…”
Leonard Churchill looked at her without a word.
He didn’ t really want to stay here.
But the Moon was with this woman; how could he continue without it?
The Silver Moon Leader certainly had no intention of abandoning such an important member of her organization and produced a secretive sacred book enveloped in a white aura out of thin air.
The front cover of the sacred book devolved around a mysterious Nine-point
Star Array, at the core of which lay a picture of the moon.
The moment the sacred book was presented, an eerie glow permeated the entire carriage.
Enlightenment appeared instantly: ‘You have exempted from one instance of the dense faith pollution.’
Although it wasn’t as dense as the Moon’s faith pollution, it was still the second most significantly faith-polluted thing Leonard Churchill had ever seen.
There was no need to look, he knew it was a valuable thing!
Sophia spoke seriously, “This is the Silver Moon Secret Book. It records the impressions of our preceptors observing holy items, including the contemplative secret skill- Void Moon Mind. This would be sufficient for a significant time in the future to suppress your mental deformation. Additionally, it contains records of pleasure secret arts, and the double cultivation secret skill, you can start learning them if you’re interested…”
“Oh?”
Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill’s face lit up with delight instantly.
He didn’t attempt to conceal his thirst and quickly flipped through the sacred book.
Seeing the words in the book, he heaved a sigh of relief; the contemplative secret skill was indeed in it.
With this, everything was in order.
It seemed like there wasn’t much pressure being a double agent anymore.
Watching him engrossed in the book, Sophia reminded him,” This sacred book
is important to the sect. Be careful not to lose it.”
Leonard Churchill nodded, “Okay.”
Then, this Silver Moon Leader took out a silver mirror and said, “Also, take this Sliver Moon Mirror. It’s the communication device used within our sect. I’ll contact you through this mirror when any plans are arranged.”
“Sure.”
After glancing at the mirror a few times, Leonard Churchill casually pocketed it.
He already had a similar device.
Upon receiving this, he knew that the Silver Moon Leader saw him as a core member of the sect.
He felt something was strange about it.
Leonard Churchill never expected to infiltrate the core of the Silver Moon Sect within just a few days of going undercover.
He even approached the Silver Moon Leader directly and acquired the Ancient
God Contemplation Method– ‘Void Moon Mind.’
His objective was accomplished.
He suddenly lost all interest in being an undercover agent.
But most importantly, he realized his own weakness; he was too weak.
