Chapter 1297: Chapter 398 I Refuse Your Duel_4 Chapter 1297: Chapter 398 I Refuse Your Duel_4 If you’re going to beat someone, make sure it’s a brutal beating!

Leonard Churchill wasn’t sure of his strength in the eyes of these people.

But even Catherine Carter didn’t know he had advanced to the Sixth Tier, so these people likely didn’t know either.

Looking at the few imposing men wanting to beat him up, Leonard Churchill pondered for a moment and said expressionlessly, “I’m not interested.”

At this statement, a group of young officers were stunned momentarily and then their faces boiled with rage.

This guy actually refused?

Everyone knows, if you care at all about face, even if you’re not strong enough and end up beaten, you wouldn’t refuse such a duel, right?

What they didn’t know was that Leonard Churchill truly couldn’t muster any interest.

He had no inclination whatsoever to lay hands on the group in front of him, even all together.

Mick, with a stomach full of rage, hearing this was like punching cotton, mixed with shame and anger, “You… ”

To refuse a spar was also to insult him!

Catherine Carter, standing by his side, was slightly surprised to hear this: he refused?

The initial plan was just to casually show some skills to intimidate these arrogant talents.

But in an instant, she guessed that Leonard Churchill had other intentions.

Catherine Carter said nothing, still intimately arm-in-arm with Leonard Churchill, smiling, “Cousin Mick, Leonard just arrived at the base and hasn’t rested yet. If there’s an issue, let’s talk another day when he’s free.”

With her speaking up for him, people naturally felt it was not good to say anything further, whether publicly or privately.

Kak’s face turned livid; he could only snort coldly and leave with a resentful remark of “Coward.”

The tension immediately dissipated.

But what transformed was many people’s incomprehension.

Watching people go, Catherine Carter curiously asked, “So, not interested?”

Her tone carried no blame, just curiosity. Besides, no matter what Leonard Churchill chose, she would support him unconditionally.

She thought perhaps Leonard Churchill felt their strength wasn’t enough to pique his interest.

But to her surprise, she heard a different answer.

“Somewhat.”

Leonard Churchill replied truthfully.

Catherine Carter’s face registered an expression of ‘I thought so.’

However, then she heard a directed transmission in her ear, “Those guys have murderous intent.”

Upon hearing this, Catherine Carter’s expression tightened, realizing the situation.

Needing a transmission meant there were further complications.

But looking at Leonard Churchill, whose expression never changed, Catherine Carter felt strangely reassured, as if, like many times before, he already had a thorough plan.

This distracted her from pondering the serious matter, making her think of something else.

For instance, thinking about how she taught him the “directed transmission” spell.

After pondering for a moment, Leonard Churchill asked, “Will this be difficult for you?”

Given their understanding, Catherine Carter naturally knew what he meant, “Hmm… A bit tricky. But, I will handle it well.”

Leonard Churchill listened and smiled slightly.

There are many solutions to a problem.

He could think of them, and as a competent leader, the Allied Commander could definitely think of them too.

Catherine Carter guessed Leonard Churchill’s thoughts, not surprised in the least, and instead suggested, “Hmm. Shall we add fuel to the fire?”

Leonard Churchill turned his head to look at her: “???”

Catherine Carter’s eyes twinkled slyly, she didn’t explain, only saying, “Let’s go for drinks!”

She didn’t forget to add, “We promised last time!”

Leonard Churchill didn’t mind, “Sure.”

…

Catherine Carter and Leonard Churchill left the banquet hall.

This drama had officially come to a close.

Many elders watching from a distance were slightly surprised.

“Those youngsters didn’t start fighting? Heh heh, interesting.”

“That young man’s demeanor is definitely beyond those young lads. I’m telling you, if it came to a fight, Mick wouldn’t likely get the upper hand.”

“Old Morton, you think highly of that young man?”

“Forgot to tell you, fifty years ago, I was beaten by that young man’s Teacher.”

“Just that? You know, Mick is a genuine Fifth Tier card master. According to the intel, that young man, at best, is also just Fifth Tier; how could he have an advantage?”

“Hehe, I don’t actually favor that young man. Rather, it’s Catherine… oh no. It’s the Commander-in-Chief’s judgment I trust. Do you really think she just picked someone randomly as a shield to fool around with marriage? That young man’s air is the most unique I’ve seen.”

“Just the air of burying his head and eating?”

“Could you keep your head down and eat all night under those circumstances?”

“No.”

“Exactly.”

“…”
