Chapter 620: Chapter 209 Ambush: Thirteen Masked Knights_3
He headed upstairs to the second floor.
Leonard Churchill saw two women shivering in the bedroom, stripped naked, and felt no interest.
He carried the assassin straight into the master bedroom and instructed the maids not to disturb them.
Entering the bedroom, Leonard tossed the person onto the bed and then began to search for a secret compartment in the room.
After looking around, he heard some noises from the bed behind him. Without turning his head, he said, “I know you should have recovered by now. If I were you, it would be best not to try anything again.”
Leonard had no intention of making things difficult for the assassin.
He thought she would realize the difference in their strengths and slip away quietly.
However, unexpectedly, the female assassin charged at him again without hesitation.
She looked desperate to fight to the death.
This time there was no need for pretense, Leonard’s Agility attribute was pushed to the limit. He twisted his body and blocked the dagger with one hand, and then grabbed the assassin by the neck.
He originally wanted to keep her quiet for a while, but knocking her out didn’t seem like a good option either.
He would need to leave after finding what he was looking for, so carrying an unconscious burden would be inconvenient.
But looking at those eyes filled with intense hatred, Leonard suddenly became curious as to what grievance made her risk her life to kill Abel, and he casually asked, “Why do you want to kill me?”
The female assassin knew she probably wouldn’t survive today and didn’t hide anything, cursing, “You damned bastard, what have you Brotherhood guys done with my partner!”
It sounded like the Brotherhood had killed her teammate?
For Leonard, this was not news.
As gangs often killed to silence people, encountering vendettas was nothing unusual.
He lost interest upon hearing this and simply said, “I don’t want to kill you. So it would be best for you to stay calm.”
Leonard was slightly troubled and punched her in the abdomen again.
It wasn’t a serious injury, but it should keep her quiet for a short while.
He resumed his search for the secret compartment.
With no sign of the Brotherhood’s men, Leonard started to search thoroughly.
Watching this, the assassin was bewildered. Didn’t it look like he was here to steal?
But wasn’t this the villain’s own home?
Yet hatred still made her furiously angry, “What exactly have you done with my partner! I know they are here!”
Leonard wasn’t interested in listening to the curses, as, by that time, he had found the secret compartment behind a painting.
Being well-read paid off, as he was very proficient in architecture.
He easily identified the inconspicuous layer that others might overlook.
“Hey, found it!”
Leonard looked at the safe.
He took out the keychain from Abel’s Storage Ring and started trying them.
After several attempts, he found the right one.
With a “click,” the safe opened, and Leonard saw many valuables inside.
Cards, materials, jewelry, stock and bond certificates, bank deposit slips…
As Leonard had guessed, the now-wealthy Abel had items of considerable value inside.
However, Leonard wasn’t interested in the treasure; his attention was drawn by a moon necklace.
Enlightenment also hinted: “You are exempt from one instance of faith pollution directed towards the Ancient God Arachne.”
“Eh? An artifact from the Silver Moon Sect?”
Leonard was genuinely surprised.
He had never imagined finding such an item in Abel’s safe.
Just like a cross, Ancient God Devotees often had some symbolic accessories.
And having infiltrated the Silver Moon Sect for some time, Leonard knew very well that this kind of jewelry was the mark of a Silver Moon Believer.
But how could Abel, a gang member, be an Ancient God Devotee?
And upon closer inspection, next to the artifact, there was a stone tablet.
The tablet bore the impression of a small figure in the pose of throwing a punch.
Leonard focused on the stele, as if mesmerized, with a profound and rich ancient aura washing over him.
It was like something unearthed from a tomb, still bearing some Transcendent properties.
This tablet was not simple!
After looking for two seconds, Leonard suddenly realized: “Mystery of Ralf’s Divine Fist?”
Wasn’t this the same skill previously used by Abel?
But it was at the first glance of that stone tablet that Leonard was most shocked.
Abel had not used a Skill Card, but learned that Martial Skill from the stone tablet?
Impossible…
How could he have quickly mastered such a clearly difficult Mystery Martial Skill in such a short time?
But then his eyes caught the Silver Moon necklace again.
In an instant, Leonard understood something, and his thoughts flowed freely!
“This guy really is a Silver Moon Believer!”
Leonard also realized why Abel had suddenly comprehended the sinister Mystery of Ralf’s Divine Fist.
It turns out he had used the power of the Ancient God’s faith.
It was similar to when Plague Doctor Hensen comprehended the Secret Skill of Cellular Activity Boiling. Humans were originally unable to understand High-level Demon Language.
But with the Demon God’s cognitive blessing, he managed to decipher some content from the bronze piece and learned some of the skill’s uses.
Abel too had learned the Mystery through the power of faith.
…
Having realized this, Leonard suddenly felt that something about the situation wasn’t quite right.
The leader of the Silver Moon Sect was last surrounded and attacked by X Bureau’s experts in the Deep pitsecret realm, certainly not meeting a good end.
Hunchbacked Old Cook had also fled with severe injuries.
Leonard thought these Ancient God Devotees should have calmed down by now, but who would have thought Abel was a Silver Moon Believer?
When you see one cockroach, there may be a swarm in the dark.
Thinking again about the arrest warrant, and that Camilla and Noah Wright were also wanted, the information was almost certainly coming from Old Cook.
