Chapter 841: 265
Catherine Carter said, “He might be trying to break through as a ‘Demigod.’ I’ve got accurate intel that ever since Arthur beca the New King, his strength has skyrocketed, and not long ago, that guy has already reached the Sixth Tier.”
As a direct descendant of the Lionheart Family, she was of course aware of the actions taken by the Orlan Remnants in Lion City, but back then, she wasn’t in charge and couldn’t obstruct anything.
Hearing this, Leonard Churchill wasn’t surprised but he asked in amazent, “Is it that easy to break through to a demigod?”
He thought of Barre Shepherd.
That old man had been stuck at this threshold for decades and was now only considered half a step into the Seventh Tier.
Catherine Carter said, “I don’t know either. However, the Orlan Royal Family has many secret skills that ordinary people don’t have access to; there may be shortcuts to entering the Seventh Tier.”
...
“This is a bit troubleso.”
Leonard Churchill listened with a furrowed brow.
It now seed that this Mysterious Realm might not be able to trap the New King of Orlan.
If that guy managed to take the Silver Moon Church’s people out, wouldn’t the plan Mushroomhead had gone to great lengths to set up be all for naught?
Just then, Leonard Churchill noticed thin black lines erging from Catherine Carter’s body.
The land’s contamination had beco very dense, and even the miss of the Lionheart Family couldn’t help but feel a tinge of fear.
Catherine Carter didn’t notice it herself, but instinctively felt slightly uncomfortable with the environnt.
Leonard Churchill saw this and frowned slightly.
Catherine Carter’s insights were very profound; the environnts she grew up in had exposed her to many top-tier powerhouses, and her understanding of Extraordinary Power might be much higher than her own abilities.
Leonard Churchill couldn’t be sure they would be able to deal with the monsters she might imagine into existence.
Upon realizing this, an idea flashed through his mind, and the Curse Power surged: “Demonic Solution!”
The Clown Illusion appeared behind him.
It directly absorbed the black lines of fear from Catherine Carter.
This was within the absorption range of the JOKER’s “God Thief” entry: from others’ all negative emotions, enhancing self-understanding of the Law of All Things;
…
Catherine Carter, suddenly feeling freed from the pressure upon witnessing Leonard Churchill’s Demonic Solution, realized that the tinge of fear within her heart had also vanished into thin air.
She asked curiously, “What did you do?”
Leonard Churchill said, “I absorbed your ‘Fear Emotion.’ I’m going to see if it will stop the monster from manifesting.”
“???”
Catherine Carter listened and blinked, evidently curious, Can one really do that?
But she guessed it was related to his professional abilities and didn’t ask further.
Looking at Leonard Churchill, she was reminded of sothing and shifted the conversation to an unrelated topic, “I feel… like you’re a bit different.”
She had noticed before that it had seemingly not been long since they last saw each other, but it felt like a very long ti, as if a lot had changed.
Leonard Churchill gave her an inquiring look, “Oh?”
Catherine Carter explained, “You used to be like an actor on stage, everything seed perford. For instance, when you smiled before, on closer inspection, one couldn’t feel happiness. It was more like acting.”
After a pause, she added, “Now you seem more like a person with normal emotions.”
The Singer’s Sequence of Catherine Carter was essentially that of a professional perforr, and she could see many elents of performance that ordinary people couldn’t.
Listening to his colleague’s assessnt, Leonard Churchill smiled lightly, “Oh.”
Indeed.
Now he was capable of feeling many emotions that ordinary people do.
….
Such a change must have its reasons.
Catherine Carter didn’t know what had happened with Leonard Churchill, but she was smart and didn’t ask.
Being able to touch “Intention” already explained a lot.
Leonard Churchill also had no intention to talk about it, his eyes on the sky’s black lines, his divine radiance withdrawn and grave, he said, “I have an idea. But it’s very dangerous…”
Catherine Carter’s bright eyes shifted as she thought back to the mont, “You’re not… planning to steal the ‘Fear Emotion’ amassed by the New King of Orlan, are you?”
Her intelligence didn’t require much explanation to understand why Leonard Churchill had done what he did.
Only by doing so, they might prevent those people’s plans.
She voiced the danger outright and frowned, “But if you do that and are exposed, not to ntion whether it will attract monsters, the Orlan Remnants will definitely send soone to assassinate you.”
“Hmm.”
Leonard Churchill naturally knew this and pondered for a mont, “But I still want to try.”
“But…”
Catherine Carter’s words reached her lips, but she didn’t say it.
She wanted to say that there were many experts around the New King of Orlan, far beyond the Federation’s imagination.
But she also knew that Leonard Churchill was decisive in his actions, making decisions only after careful thought and was unlikely to change his mind lightly.
However, she didn’t think of backing down either and simply said, “Fine! I’ll call over my guards.”
“Thank you.”
Leonard Churchill smiled, but his plan wasn’t entirely conceived in a hot-headed mont; he added, “But you don’t need to take risks with . Besides, I have assistants.”
In this Mysterious Realm, he had an expert on his side.
If Barre Shepherd arrived, no one else would matter.
If Shepherd didn’t show up, perhaps Catherine Carter’s guards might be able to provide ergency assistance.
As he spoke, he paused, then said, “Moreover, this ‘Fear Emotion’ is a Big Chance for . I want to try a theory…”
If his guess was correct, that would indeed be an enormous fortune.
“…”
Catherine Carter watched, her brows furrowed.
After a brief thought, she responded, “Okay!”
There was no point in being affectatious at such a critical juncture.
Though they were alive for the mont, she hadn’t forgotten that this place was the domain of the Pursuer of Light, ant to trap the Ancient God Devotee; danger was inevitable!
….
Leonard Churchill and Catherine Carter discussed the plan for a bit and then parted ways.
