Chapter 2007: Chapter 604: Why Did You Suddenly Want to Become Emperor?_4

"Darcy, you dummy, this is for you."

"Ivan, here’s yours too~"

Leonard Churchill handed a packet to Darcy, one to Ivan, who was already well-acquainted, and kept one for himself.

This greedy girl couldn’t care less about the dignity of a noble lady, happily clutching her own packet and starting to eat.

Leonard Churchill, free of any burdens of being an icon, opened the paper bag and casually took out a piece of crystalline pastry and began eating it.

It was soft and glutinous as it entered his mouth, and the taste was indeed superb.

Darcy also ate with great enjoyment.

The trio, master and disciples, walked and ate like this, making it hard for others to discern that he was a top-notch expert.

As they walked, suddenly a burly man led several guards quickly into view.

Upon seeing him, Isabel’s eyes immediately lit up: "Father!"

She glanced at Leonard Churchill, as if seeking approval: Teacher?

Leonard Churchill smiled.

Only then did Isabel excitedly trot over, jumped and crashed into the burly middle-aged man’s embrace: "Wow... Father, it’s been a long time, I missed you."

The little girl who left home for the first time, after all, had a fervent longing for her family.

Andre, this iron-blooded strong man, looked at his little daughter, his eyes full of indulgent tenderness, "As long as you’re back."

As he spoke, he glanced at Leonard Churchill not far away and nodded in greeting.

Just with this glance, Andre had a very strange feeling, as if this guy had become stronger again.

Before he could figure out if it was an illusion, Isabel raised her head arrogantly, "Father, look!"

Andre, naturally knowing his precious daughter’s nature, knew she wanted to show him the fruits of her cultivation, and cooperated with interest: "Oh?"

As soon as he finished, red Curse Power burst into fiery flames from Isabel’s body.

This fiery Curse Power made her look like a "descended Fire God," faintly exuding a sovereign’s might.

"This...!!!"

Although this bit of temperature was nothing to Andre, a Ninth Tier, seeing this scene, his expression was utterly stunned.

This top-tier expert, galloping across battlefields for years, seemed to see something unbelievable, rendered speechless by shock.

Originally, he only expected to see a stronger daughter but had not anticipated seeing a transformed Isabel!

...

After consuming the [Fire God Fruit], Isabel truly experienced a metamorphosis.

Her talent in manipulating the Fire Element was now beyond what ordinary people could comprehend.

Moreover, the Overlord Fist taught by Leonard Churchill had now reached a master’s level, naturally carrying an overwhelming aura.

Andre looked repeatedly, eyes filled with disbelief, as if his expression could speak: Is this really his precious daughter?

The change was so significant that he hardly dared to believe it.

Isabel, observing her father’s and a few uncles’ shocked expressions, was very pleased. She proudly tilted her neck higher and said, "Father, I’ve changed a lot, haven’t I? I’ve been diligently practicing while studying with my teacher. You used to say I would slack off, hmph, are you amazed?

The Dragon Descendants scarcely understand what humility means; in their conception, power must be showcased.

Especially since those present were her closest family.

Andre was so shocked he couldn’t speak.

With his Realm, he immediately saw through Isabel’s strength.

Precisely because he understood, he found it unbelievable!

That his daughter’s talent allowed her to advance to the Fifth Tier in a year wasn’t surprising.

But, what’s up with this Flame Field?

Touching the threshold of a Domain at the Fifth Tier?

If not for previously battling in the East Wilderness, Andre would have found it absurd that a Sixth Tier card master could comprehend domains, absurd enough to make Dragon Descendants a bit jealous.

Now, seeing his daughter also reached this level of absurdity, this old father’s heart unknowingly felt at ease.

And that domineering Gang Air, exaggerated Curse Power...

This transformation, it’s as if she’s a different person than his cherished daughter.

What shocked Andre the most was the strength of the Flame Technique!

This already exceeded at least two Big Rank levels.

Even as a Ninth Tier, he couldn’t fathom why there was such a tremendous Law Understanding.

Seeing the surprise on her father’s face, Isabel’s face was filled with pride and she said, "Teacher gave me a [Fire God Fruit], so I’m much stronger now. Father, don’t be fooled by just one tier of advancement; I’m no longer my past self..."

Andre’s eyelid twitched inexplicably: "Fire God Fruit?"

Isabel explained, "Yes! Teacher and the teacher’s wife killed the Flame Demon King and found it with great difficulty..."

"..."

Andre’s expression turned complex instantly.

He was, of course, aware of the value of a [Fire God Fruit].

He hadn’t expected such a Supreme treasure to be gifted by Leonard Churchill to a newly accepted disciple?

He had really acquired a significant favor.

To Andre, not choosing to marry into a family but accepting a disciple seemed like a better choice.

That guy was genuinely nurturing her.

Previously concerned about his darling daughter’s potential grievances, seeing her now, it seemed entirely unwarranted.

Andre felt an unspeakable sentiment.

As he pondered, beside him, Isabel was still chattering about her adventures during this time: "I have so much to tell you..."

Andre: "Mm. Take your time."

Saying this, he nodded to Leonard Churchill and headed back toward the mansion with his precious daughter.

Having been gone so long, it wasn’t just him who missed her; many at home were yearning, too.

But as they walked, Andre suddenly felt something amiss.

"Teacher taught me so many incredible things... Oh, Father, you might not know, but the teacher is really, really amazing; he knows everything, excels at everything..."

Isabel was singing praises for her teacher, prompting Andre to feel a little resentment, and he finally asked: "Better than your old dad?"

He was expecting to hear the familiar "Father is the greatest in the world."

Yet after hopeful anticipation, there was a momentary hesitation from his precious daughter before she replied, "Ah... Um... Father is also very great!"

"..."

Hearing what seemed like consoling words, Andre’s gaze grew increasingly resentful.

After just a year apart, his most doted-on darling daughter seemed to admire him less.

Yet, at the same time, he confirmed that the guy’s strength was indeed ridiculously extraordinary.

....

Leonard Churchill obviously knew Andre wasn’t there for him and didn’t mind sensing the resentment.

After just a few steps, in a jewelry shop by the roadside, he saw a striking blonde woman who seemed to be glowing. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

She was leisurely picking out jewelry and turned to look, as if sensing something.

Darcy happily called out, "Teacher’s wife!"

It was none other than Catherine Carter.

Leonard Churchill walked in and greeted, "When did you arrive?"

Catherine Carter looked at him, with enchanting and seductive eyes, and said, "I left as soon as I got your message. Arrived this morning."

"Oh."

Looking at those seductive eyes growing more enchanting, Leonard Churchill sighed inwardly, she was becoming more and more like the Moon God.

Catherine Carter, still selecting jewelry, casually asked, "Which one looks better?"

Both were incredibly exquisite and luxurious necklaces, with nothing else to go on, Leonard pointed at one on instinct: "This one."

"Mm, I think so too."

Hearing this, Catherine Carter raised a delicate brow, seemingly not conflicted, "Then... Can you help me put it on?"

"Gladly."

Leonard Churchill took the necklace.

Catherine Carter turned around, lifted her golden hair, revealing her fair neck for him to easily put it on.

At this time, she casually asked another question: "Weren’t you unwilling to be Emperor before? What changed your mind?"
