Catastrophe Card King
Chapter 1466 - Chapter 1466 Chapter 449 Giant Spirit City_2

Chapter 1466: Chapter 449 Giant Spirit City_2 Chapter 1466: Chapter 449 Giant Spirit City_2 Young Master Sack glared at the two assassins, his eyes as cold as if he were about to kill someone.

Before, if not for his incredible luck, he really almost fell at the hands of these low-level assassins.

But what he cared about weren’t the assassins who were already dead in his eyes, but he sternly asked, “Where is my Curse God Card?”

The guard, stiffened by his cold tone, responded, “We… we haven’t found it…”

Sack exploded with rage, “Damn it, go chase them! There’s an ‘insider’ among the Royal Academy’s trial candidates this time!”

By now, how could he not have guessed where the problem lay.

Someone in the Black Market had put a hit on him, hiring an assassin to kill him.

But for someone to make a move during the academy trial, it wasn’t something low-tier assassins could accomplish; it had to be from the “insider” within the academy.

Moreover, just moments ago, if he hadn’t abandoned the Curse God Card, that person might well have killed him too!

The guard replied timidly, “Young master… Captain Hook and the others have already gone.”

Sack didn’t want to hear that and roared, “Go chase, all of you! If you can’t find that Curse God Card, don’t bother coming back!”

“Yes!”

The guards didn’t dare to respond, and after leaving a few behind, everyone else dashed into the forest.

…

Leonard Churchill and his six-man squad watched from a distance as Young Master Sack flew into a rage.

Only then did everyone realize that it was their young master’s Curse God Card that had been lost.

The only one who wasn’t surprised was Leonard Churchill.

Because his true self had witnessed the entire process of how the Emperor’s Relics were lost.

Just as Sack had guessed, there was an “insider” among the academy’s instructors.

Under normal circumstances, hiring three assassins would have been enough to kill Young Master Sack and that group of knight candidates.

According to the original plan, after the assassins killed their targets, they could have left silently. There wasn’t supposed to be a need for the “insider” to expose themselves just yet.

After all, leaving behind any trace could potentially reveal their true identity within the academy.

But things didn’t go as planned.

When he saw the two assassins failing to kill Young Master Sack and were about to cross the Barrier area, the observing insider had to make a move.

It was precisely because Sack had thought of this that he decisively shot the Curse God Card in another direction at the last moment, sensing the danger.

He knew the assassins had two goals: one was to kill him, and the other was for the Emperor’s Relics.

If they chose to kill, they would have exposed their methods and would certainly have been pursued to death.

But by choosing to chase after the Curse God Card, they could complete at least half of their mission without revealing themselves.

And that’s exactly what happened.

By doing so, Sack managed to save his own life.

But he also lost his Curse God Card.

And all this was witnessed by Leonard Churchill.

He had the same idea originally.

After experiencing the outrageous functions of the Curse God Card, he planned to disguise himself as an assassin to muddle through the waters, at least trying to steal the card when the opportunity arose.

However, by doing so, not only would he be subject to subsequent investigation, but it would also increase the risk for his true self in the future when staying near the Royal Academy.

Leonard’s realm of “I Am the World” was already very high; he wouldn’t rely on mere luck.

Any action taken would leave traces on the logical thread of the event.

Furthermore, there were some mysterious techniques.

Also, the “insider” who was hiding was sure to make a move to snatch the card.

Leonard was fully prepared to kill and rob.

However, reality offered him a better option.

Young Master Sack had flung the card away, and that “insider” indeed chose to chase after it.

Leonard knew there was such a person nearby but had not been able to detect them before.

Only when that person made a move for the card did he notice them.

The “insider’s” stealth technique was very clever, ghost-like, without leaking even a hint of their presence.

It must have been the use of some very advanced Stealth Relics.

However, to Leonard, who was adept in the Space Law, even if invisible to the naked eye, spatial fluctuations within a certain range could still be sensed.

Likewise, Leonard’s own ability to stealth was not something the other party could detect.

Since both were chasing the card, Leonard sensed the other person.

Yet, he did not make a move immediately.

He silently followed him after he got the card for a while.

The man clearly knew the forest well and had prepared escape routes and various methods to confuse any pursuers.

Duke Landon’s pursuers would certainly not be able to catch him.

This made things easier for Leonard.

He also noticed that the person’s stealth technique was very clever, but their tier wasn’t too high, likely only around Fifth or Sixth Tier.

This gave Leonard the idea for an even more perfect plan!

After estimating the cause and effect relationship of certain Mysterious Type techniques with the insider, he used the Space Rune Stone to implement the “Master of Stealth.”

The Relics of the Great Emperor were of too high a grade to be placed in ordinary containment spaces, which presented an opportunity.

Unexpectedly the process went smoothly without a hitch, and the other person completely unaware, Leonard directly stole the item.

Against a more skilled opponent, the odds were high that this small spatial trick of Leonard’s could be detected.

But when used against card masters of a lower realm than himself, the other party might not even realize what happened before the theft was completed.

By the time the person noticed the item was missing, Leonard had already vanished, as if he had never been there.

Not even knowing when it had happened.

The timelines, the threads of logic, were in disarray, making any subsequent investigation impossible to start.

It greatly reduced the chances of exposure for Leonard’s true self.
