Chapter 1819: Chapter 552: Gambling Fight
Leonard Churchill stood on the stone pillar, looking at the hundred or so people with astonished expressions in front of him, and grinned.
At his side, Lenny’s eye twitched slightly, thinking to himself, “Exactly as expected.”
Earlier in the city, he had already guessed that this old friend’s strength might have exceeded his imagination.
And just now, watching Leonard Churchill brazenly stop the mbers of the Herlands Family, a thought he could hardly believe surfaced in Lenny’s mind: Could this guy have reached the Eighth Rank?
Now hearing Leonard propose a duel, this guess beca a fact.
Without such strength, one would never be so composed.
But… how did this guy advance so quickly?
The last ti they t was just over a year ago, and back then, he was only Sixth Tier. Now he’s Eighth Tier?
However, before Lenny could be astonished, a cold snort sounded: “Hmph! Do you really think our Herlands Family has no one?”
Turning to look, the speaker was indeed the elder, now one of the Four King’s Knights, the strongest of the Herlands Family, the “Forbidden Curse Master” Jolin.
From their perspective, Leonard’s proposal had a strong elent of humiliation.
For a single person to challenge a hundred, how could that not ignite so anger.
But Jolin had to admit, Leonard’s proposal was the best solution.
Of course, the most important thing was that he realized this forr popular fugitive from the East Wilderness, the S-tier, was really strong. A real fight would benefit neither side.
If soone ascends the steps, there has to be soone to descend them too.
Clan Leader Elsa quietly scrutinized Leonard, unable to fathom his intentions, then spoke to test him: “Oh? How exactly do you propose to duel?”
In her mind, it was more likely that this guy was trying to buy ti.
But Leonard was straightforward: “I’ve made it clear, I must take this batch of goods. You definitely won’t let go. Since we have to fight, let’s duel one-on-one. If I lose, I’ll leave. If you lose, I take the goods.”
…
At these words, the people of the Orlan Royal Court seethed with anger, glaring at Leonard.
This guy was truly arrogant beyond belief, as if the Herlands Family had no one capable of standing against him?
The “Forbidden Curse Master” Jolin imdiately stepped out, coldly saying: “Since you are so confident in your skills, I shall give them a try.”
A very clever response.
He said to compare skills, but didn’t agree to the betting conditions.
After all, this batch of chanical equipnt was crucial for the survival of the entire Herlands Family; it could not be lost.
Leonard could see through these old nobles’ crafty speech, which basically ant, “Let’s test first, if it doesn’t work, then gang up.”
However, Leonard had no interest in playing such gas with them, and bluntly said: “If you co forward… it may not end well for you.”
“You!!!”
These words only made the Herlands Family people bristle like cats that had their tails stepped on.
The “Forbidden Curse Master” Jolin was so enraged that his right eyelid twitched violently, failing to conceal his killing intent: “Your arrogance has no bounds.”
“Tsk tsk…”
Leonard remained calm, only the curvature of his smile growing more pronounced.
Knowing full well that words would not convince them, he chuckled softly, and as he recited an incantation, the illusion of a Joker materialized behind him: “Second Stage·Myriad Aspects Clown.”
It’s true, Jolin was an Eighth Rank.
But there are differences even within the sa rank.
A true expert of the sa tier could discern many things just from the mont they released their aura.
Leonard could tell that when Jolin advanced to the Seventh Rank, he had taken a shortcut, relying not on the comprehension of Divine Power, but on a Mythical Crystal Core.
Later, how he forcibly advanced to the Eighth Rank was unknown, but his foundation was weaker, and the gap would only grow larger over ti.
Compared to the Dragon Descendants of the Southern Continent, he was far inferior. Let alone compared to Leonard.
In short, if Leonard wanted to kill him, it wouldn’t be difficult.
But since the Herlands Family was one of the Four Knights families, they surely had treasures.
If a real fight ensued, if Leonard didn’t aim to kill, the commotion would be significant regardless.
….
Seeing the Joker illusion behind Leonard, the tension in the air imdiately heightened.
All the mbers of the Orlan Royal Court pointed their chanical arms and guns at him.
Lenny’s face changed dramatically, pricked by their needle-sharp killing intent, and he instantly decided to stand with Leonard.
But before he could summon his chanical puppets, the entire valley seed to fall silent, like the mute button had been pressed.
Leonard’s Secondary Demonic Dissolution not only carried the pressure of a Demon God but also a Divine Power comparable to an Eighth Rank Great Dragon.
Such terrifying demigod pressure instantly shook everyone present to their core.
It was the pressure of a higher life form over lower ones, a fear rooted deep in the soul that most people could not withstand, making them tremble, nearly kneeling.
After his Demonic Dissolution, Leonard did not make a move.
Instead, he crouched on the stone pillar, wearing an even more sinister smile as he watched the crowd before him.
This was an Eighth Rank who had advanced step by step through the comprehension of Divine Power!
After his Secondary Demonic Dissolution, the Demonic Power he could wield far surpassed that of any shortcut Eighth Rank.
The East Wilderness wasn’t like the Southern Continent, where Dragon Descendants experts were everywhere. Seventh Rankers were rare here; how could they have seen such a display?
They had no idea of the terror of Leonard’s realm.
