“Someone from the Miller Family?”
As soon as this piece of information came, Leonard Churchill had a sudden realization.
He instantly guessed what the other party was coming for.
They were not coming for Tracy Garcia, but specifically for him.
The fourth master of Miller Family, had not given up on the Epic Source Card of the 407 Alternate Dimension!
“How could I have forgotten about this guy?”
Leonard had considered all possibilities while excluding Saul Miller from the
list purely out of neglect.
After all, it had been quite awhile.
After the commotion at the Black Market on Dark Rain Street, the death of Stan Miller and the consequent turmoil at the Lord’s Manor, Leonard assumed that Saul Miller had quietened down for good.
Unexpectedly, he had resurfaced again.
Reuel Bible was equally dumbfounded.
He originally intended to deal with the believers of the Silver Moon Family Sect, but why were the people from Lord Miller’s residence here?
How are these two parties connected?
If the intel had come from a different source, Leonard might have thought that
he had made a mistake.
But the intelligence had been obtained from the Silver Moon Mirror.
The fact was, the hunchbacked old man from the Silver Moon Sect had indeed
come.
Inside the broken building, the faces of both men were extremely grave.
The intel from Reuel Bible wasn’t lacking.
When Saul had initially made a ruckus looking for someone in Sinless City, those who had a good information network had guessed that he must be looking for a special treasure from the 407 Alternate Dimension.
But treasures and the like held no allure for Reuel Bible.
After all, he was an official from the X Bureau.
What really surprised him was that Leonard was the person Saul was looking for.
Reuel didn’t ask much further.
On the contrary, he was more concerned about something else.
His eyes, deep and misty, muttered, “This is troublesome… the members of the
Silver Moon Sect might have infiltrated the Noble Circle.
This situation was incredibly serious!
Initially, those Old Days Believers, like rats in a sewer, were spreading their faith while in hiding.
But infiltrating into the noble class meant having a disguise and a refuge.
They weren’t only concealed.
If the high-ranking nobility got involved, even the law enforcement officials like them faced major restrictions in carrying out their duties.
Besides, faith contamination is hard to detect unless the believers expose themselves.
This was like finding a rat in the granary.
By the time the first one is spotted, a whole nest of them might already be in the warehouse.
Reuel Bible fell into deep thought, his face showing unprecedented solemnity. Thinking of this, he immediately issued instructions through his communicator, “Noah Wright, issue an’S-level contamination alert’. All special service teams in Sinless City should stand by and be ready for action at any time.”
The voice on the other end of the communicator immediately responded: “Yes, sir!”
After giving the instruction, Reuel took a deep breath.
He turned his gaze towards Leonard Churchill and asked, “Churchill, what do you think? Do we retreat or…?”
If Miller’s main forces are here, if Leonard doesn’t leave, the risk would be massive.
The Ancient God Faith is the highest risk level of contamination listed by the X Bureau.
If they decide to give up now, and over time, the Silver Moon Sect successfully contaminates the high-ranking nobility, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Now that it has been detected, maybe there is still a chance to eradicate this issue.
Upon hearing this, Leonard’s eyes narrowed slightly and said, “Let’s try it first.”
If he ran away now, the other party indeed cannot do anything.
However, as he put it, he was currently being located by some mysterious means.
It is meaningless to evade without understanding the reason.
He could escape this time, but not all the time.
If this trouble is not resolved, it will always be a hidden danger.
Not to mention, there won’t always be powerful aides like Reuel Bible.
“Hmm.”
Reuel Bible nodded, not surprised at Leonard’s bravery and insight and then said, “Be careful then.”
He shared the same sentiment.
Only by throwing a stone into muddy water can one see if there are big fish hidden underwater.
He also wanted to use Leonard to expose more flaws of the Old Day Believers. But thinking of something, Reuel also said solemnly: “The main family of the Miller family is one of the five major senators of the Federation. Without conclusive evidence, we, at the X Bureau, can’t directly intervene. You need to be extra careful then. I will try my best to protect you at the most critical moment, but the risk remains high…”
“Hmm.”
Leonard had already braced himself for the risks after choosing to make this decision.
Given that he knows the other party is coming after him.
Leonard deliberately increased the distance between him and Tracy Garcia. Although the Frost Knight Legion was very strong, he was not planning on a direct confrontation with the Miller family’s elites.
Given the broken building as a terrain, Leonard’s ability provides a great advantage.
Unless there are exceptionally skilled opponents, no matter the number, it would not necessarily trap him.
What he needed to do was to stir up the situation as much as possible.
And see where the connection between Silver Moon Sect and the Miller family really lies.
Moreover, it wasn’t all bad news.
“Since Saul is coming for the treasure of 407. This means that the other party might still think I’m just the Card Master Apprentice who ran away from the Black Market…”
“Although the people of the Silver Moon Sect have intervened, they definitely wouldn’t dare to expose their infiltration into the Miller family. So they shouldn’t intervene. At least, not visibly…”
“As for the top experts, with Reuel here, it should be possible to stop them. Plus, there is that one…”

Leonard kept analyzing various possibilities in his mind.
Soon, a thin mist started to float over the large ruins.
This physical obstruction gradually blurred the vision.
While Sinless City, full of steam boilers, was often shrouded in a slightly toxic fog, it was not uncommon.
But Leonard instantly realized that the enemy might have already sneaked in upon seeing this.
Reuel Bible had already vanished out of sight, hiding in some corner.
