Catastrophe Card King - Chapter 469
Chapter 469: Chapter 168 Brilliant Gold Material_4
Normally, even if one didn’t bring any treasures with them, it wouldn’t be appropriate to reveal it to others.
Otherwise, it could put oneself in an uncertain danger.
But she divulged it.
Leonard Churchill found the conversation increasingly interesting: “What if
the trial is not passed?”
Catherine Carter calmly uttered one word: “Death.”
Death?
Leonard Churchill’s pupils shrank slightly at this, followed by a wild laugh brimming on his face.
Even though he didn’t understand what the “Hero Trial” of the Lionheart
Family meant, failure equated to death?
It made sense.
Wouldn’t it be better to bring some higher-level guards to prevent accidents? Tsk, tsk, it finally didn’t feel like the Noble lady was just playacting this trial. Catherine Carter looked at Leonard Churchill, his smile was slightly wicked, she felt slightly unfamiliar, as if he was a different person.
But she didn’t want to dwell on it and asked again “So, what’s your plan?”
Leonard Churchill, thinking of something, interrupted her, saying, “One last question.”
Catherine Carter: “Oh?”
Leonard Churchill said, “You said before… you won’t die, are you sure you can survive this Catastrophe Domain?”
He had to confirm any factors that could lead to error.
Upon hearing this, Catherine Carter glanced at him. It seemed to involve some of her hidden methods, but she simply said, “My divination has confirmed that I can survive without making that move.’
“Hahaha…”
A soft laugh like a spring breeze beamed in Leonard Churchill’s eyes.
Just when he thought this woman was smart and decisive, she turned out to have used some sort of special divination ability because of an inelegant move?
The contrast…
Catherine Carter obviously knew what he was laughing at, she gave him a glare and decided to ignore him.
The conversation between the two was somewhat silent, leaving the others confused.
They didn’t intend to explain.
But ultimately, they had to think about leaving.
As Catherine Carter looked at Leonard Churchill, she felt that he seemed undisturbed even in the face of such a desperate situation.
Having met him at three previous cocktail parties, she simply thought he was somewhat special among men.
But now it seemed, he was more than just special.
She looked at the ostentatious, yet not frivolous, smile on his face and said quietly, “Have you laughed enough? So, what’s your plan?”
Leonard Churchill didn’t beat around the bush and said directly, “You go and lure out the Catastrophe, and I’ll be its target.”
Catherine Carter paused for a moment before realizing that his plan was simple, she exclaimed in surprise: “That’s it?”
She had expected to hear an ingenious plan that would be a revelation.
She didn’t expect it to be… a fool’s tactic?
in order to relieve any doubts about the bait, Leonard Churchill directly said, “For the Rule-based Phantom Species, it seems that breaking the rules is the only correct solution.”
Speaking of this, he stated his reason, “No one has seen its real face yet. Only after seeing how this Catastrophe reacts, can I decide how to respond.”
Catherine Carter twitched at the corner of her eyes.
She understood the reasoning.
They needed a woman to act as bait, lure the Catastrophe to possess her, then improvise accordingly.
But… wasn’t this plan too crude?
She asked, “What if you can’t handle the monster after seeing it?
If the monster can’t be killed, it will certainly kill them.
So, this plan doesn’t allow for any trial and error.
No matter how you look at it, it seems unreliable.
However, Leonard Churchill casually smiled saying, “If I can’t handle it then… we will die together?”
Hearing his unserious words, Catherine Carter calmly retorted, “I don’t want to die with you.”
Leonard Churchill simply laughed without words, but excitement had already lit up his eyes due to the impending unknown risks.
He murmur to himself, “They’re just rules. They won’t completely stifle our chances of survival, it just depends on whether we can seize the opportunity or not.”
Catherine Carter looked at the increasingly crazed man in front of her, her brows knotted, “You… why do I get the feeling that you’re looking forward to all this?”
Although she was saying so, she stood up and said, “Enough said, 111 go now.
She knew that more words won’t help.
She wasn’t clear about what Leonard Churchill intended to do.
But the one who was taking the most risk in this plan was not her, but the man standing in front of her.
Catherine Carter didn’t suspect that Leonard Churchill would joke with her life. Looking at the woman getting up resolutely, Leonard Churchill silently approved of her, adding: “Since it’s my plan, no matter the result, I will buy you some time.”
Catherine Carter gave him a glance, without responding.
In other words, she understood his meaning.
The moment Catherine Carter turned around, a cold curve rose at the corner of her mouth: Quite interesting…
She too seemingly noticed, Leonard Churchill stepping up wasn’t about sacrificing himself for others.
Rather, he seemed to be supremely confident in his wild plan, as if he were gambling his life on it.
When Leonard Churchill and Catherine Carter stood up, everyone looked surprised.
Elder Clinton and his grandchildren happened to overhear some of their plan and guessed what they were going to do.
The others didn’t comprehend it.
Someone fearfully said, “What are you guys going to do?”
At this time, whatever they did, could potentially endanger everyone. Leonard Churchill and Catherine Carter ignored them and walked into the misty street.
Since they had to keep each other in sight, the others didn’t dare to keep their eyes on them.
The two did not walk far when they no longer felt the gaze from behind.
