The same person had previously helped him resolve the issue of mental deformation.
Now, he has encountered a new problem.
“Miss Anne, I have a new puzzlement that I need your help with. While advancing to become a Third Order Card Master, I have encountered a bit of trouble. It is very difficult for me to comprehend my ‘Curse Seal’, as I practice the multi-element breathing method, do you have any suggestions…”
Even though he had just stepped into the second tier, Leonard Churchill had to consider this issue in advance.
To reach the third tier, one must understand the “Curse Seal”.
This is a test of a card master’s understanding of the rules, and not just a
problem concerning attribute data.
Many card masters are stuck at this bottleneck for the entirety of their lives.
Furthermore, Leonard Churchill’s practicing of the multi-choice breathing method theoretically means that the threshold for him is much higher than for
other people.
He does not feel like he could definitely cross this barrier.
For at least a good while in the future, he feels like he wouldn’t know where to
start.
Since she happened to be here, he asked her, just for once.
After all, from the information they exchanged, the mysterious pen pal doesn t
seem very powerful herself.
But the resources that her family has access to are of a very high level.
Maybe there will be a special surprise, like last time with the Mental Secret
Skill.
After Leonard Churchill finished writing the letter, he didn’t hold high
expectations for a reply.
He once again stuffed the letter note into the scripture.
He continued reading and meditating on the scriptures.
As luck would have it, while reading, Leonard Churchill thought of something.
He took out the “Silver Moon Mirror” to check, as usual.
After all, he still has another identity- -a spy from the Silver Moon Sect. He also needs to keep up with the messages from the leader.
Usually, there’s not much going on.
But today, when he took it out, Demonic Whispers came from within the mirror.
Leonard Churchill’s eyebrows raised, and he skillfully deciphered some of the information: “Lionheart Family’s ball tomorrow evening, rendezvous”.
“What does this mean?”
Leonard Churchill could not completely decipher these Demonic Whispers.
But he was able to guess from the bits and pieces that the Silver Moon Sect is
planning something.
“Haven’t the people from the X Bureau taken care of it?
Leonard Churchill didn’t know what was happening, but he prepared to go take
a look.
He also wanted to meet up with Reuel Bible.
The life of a noble is always extravagant, yet discreetly luxurious.
Aside from the frequent balls and banquets, there’s nothing much to do.
Leonard Churchill, disguised as Baron Charles, had been receiving various invitations every day.
He had been working on advancing, so he didn’t have any interest in wasting
his time on such useless communication.
Now, with the secret orders from the Silver Moon leader, naturally, he would
have to go.
He was also curious about what the Old Days Believers are planning to do.
The next day, at seven in the evening.
Leonard Churchill left the house.
Lion City is already quite developed, with several main roads going north and south within the walls.
The Lionheart family’s main base was at the city center crossroads, in the building with a golden lion flag hanging at the entrance.
Leonard Churchill changed into a sharp suit and rode to the front of the building.
He was already very familiar with the flow of a nobles’ banquet.
Guided by a servant, he took an elevator to the seventh floor.
This was where the banquet hall was. When Leonard Churchill arrived, there were already many well-dressed gentlemen and ladies, and young, beautiful noble girls.
The band played lively music, and the lights were soft and intimate.
The familiar atmosphere of upper class social banquets.
As Baron Charles, Leonard Churchill was somewhat well-known in Sinless City. When he arrived, he had come across quite a few acquaintances.
After politely greeting them, he went to the buffet and started eating desserts with interest.
Previously, his focus on high society was to infiltrate the Silver Moon Sect.
Now, he’d prefer to keep a low profile.
After all, he’d just conned the Lionheart family in 1981 Space.
You’ve got to admit, these nobles really knew how to live life.
The buffet was filled with exquisite dishes that commoners might never see in a lifetime.
The tastes were also phenomenal.
Leonard Churchill ate and drank leisurely in the corner while scanning his surroundings.
He was also curious about whether the Silver Moon Leader had arrived.
Before the Silver Moon Leader could arrive, a burly man quietly sneaked behind the shadow of a pillar.
The sound of Reuel Bible reached his ears, “You…how did you get involved with the Revolutionary Army again?”
After the battle of the Flood Gang, the deputy leader of the Revolutionary Army, ‘Valkyrie’ Jones, showed up.
When this news came out, it shocked the entire Federation’s higher-ups.
As the ace agent of the X Bureau, he had to come and investigate immediately. Although Sinless City is filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers, it s not that simple to come across legendary warriors.
Thinking back to when Governor Saul Miller was killed by a mysterious person, Reuel Bible wasn’t too difficult to guess who it was.
After investigating the many interpersonal relationships of the Flood Gang s higher-ups, he became even sure of it.
An informant said, a man who had close relations with Elder Miss Seven Brown from the Flood Gang has been seen at the Flood Gang several times recently.
He knew it was this guy.
Upon hearing Reuel’s tone, Leonard Churchill felt a bit helpless. He said, I don’t have much to do with the Revolutionary Army. I’ve only just learned about her identity.”
He didn’t feel that Reuel Bible was trying to give him trouble.
So, he just spoke casually.
As expected, Reuel Bible believed him after listening. He just complained, “Why do I feel that you always get into big trouble…”
Leonard Churchill smiled and didn’t reply. He answered in his heart: Probably because of ’the jinx of the gambler1?
He didn’t respond, then said, “But, what’s going on your end? Tonight, there will be some movement in the Silver Moon Sect, according to the reliable sources.”
