Chapter 2011: Chapter 605: Play the Bet of Flood Gang Once More Again?_4

There’s always a comforting feeling at home, and conversations are more thoughtful.

"Leonard Churchill, planning to become emperor on the Southern Continent might cause a lot of trouble..."

"Yes. Not to mention the Holy Church and the Three Royal Families, even the Southern Continent nobles won’t stand by idly. There will definitely be people who will oppose us..."

"Are you intending to harvest a wave from this? Although our current strength is considerable, if the enemies are too many, the trouble is also significant... The most important thing is you. If you become emperor, the hostility from those top forces will all be directed at you, especially the Dragon Clan. Whether it’s the Holy Church or the Sect of Light that prevails, both sides’ Dragon God will definitely target you first..."

"..."

They did not doubt Leonard’s plan to become emperor; they even understood it very well.

Now, the situation in the East Wilderness and Old Continent has basically been controlled by them, and they already have a group of formidable forces from those who emerged from the East Wilderness.

New Orlan Royal Court, Alliance Army, Rebellion Army... Several forces are powerful, but although they’re an alliance, they aren’t a united entity.

Whether it’s Catherine, Sophia Jones, or Camilla, almost all these top experts from the East Wilderness have advanced to this point relying on dynasty fortune.

In different times, developing independently wouldn’t be inappropriate.

But in the current situation, if they can’t unite the fortune to progress further, they’ll eventually be defeated one by one.

But none of the leaders of the previous forces managed to fully convince the other forces.

Only Leonard.

He is closely associated with three major East Wilderness forces, and his strength and prestige are enough to convince everyone.

If he becomes emperor, he can immediately unite all the forces of the East Wilderness and Old Continent into one entity, and the dynasty fortune will inevitably soar.

Moreover, Sophia Jones and Catherine both possess the Kingship Rule, and they are well aware that kingship is protected by plane fortune!

"The ascension of a new emperor" is the most ceremonious event in human civilization.

Once someone claims the throne, they become the actual ruler of living creatures and will inevitably receive plane fortune blessings.

This is the origin of the legendary "mandate of heaven" and "heaven-given kingship."

It’s also one of the most important reasons for the Kingship Path’s ascension ceremony to condense Godhood.

Originally, claiming the throne in the Old Continent wouldn’t have been surprising to Catherine and Sophia Jones.

Because there the Abyssal Rift serves as a barrier, the Southern Continent’s Dragon Clan won’t be able to do anything for a while.

Given some development time, they might be able to withstand in the future.

But Leonard unexpectedly chose to claim the throne on the Southern Continent!

This act directly siphons fortune from the Southern Continent.

This will bring tremendous fortune blessings to Leonard and all East Wilderness forces.

Not to mention Leonard has a chance to condense Godhood, breaking through that bottleneck in one fell swoop.

Just like Catherine and Sophia Jones, these high-ranking figures will also transform into empire-level [Moon Queen] and [Lady Valkyrie], possibly even advance further...

However, this is someone else’s territory!

Because currently, there’s already an emperor on the Southern Continent, the Dragon God of the Ariel Empire!

It’s obvious, this will be targeted.

Even though the Ariel Empire is now largely defunct, other Dragon Clans will never allow a human to claim the throne on the Southern Continent.

It’s not just "provocation," but actual fortune theft.

This act will inevitably foresee endless troubles in the future.

....

The four drank, exchanging a few words now and then.

But most of the conversation was between Sophia Jones, Catherine, and Seven Brown.

Leonard merely listened silently.

The three women had already considered everything very thoroughly, predicting almost every possible situation that might arise after claiming the throne.

But as they chatted, they also realized Leonard seemed resolute.

The three women were very familiar with Leonard, and they obviously knew that Leonard’s ability to think was stronger than theirs, likely having already considered everything comprehensively.

Sophia Jones and Catherine said nothing further.

Firstly, at their current height, they already vaguely guessed some of the erased history.

Secondly, they were already resolved that whatever decision Leonard made, they would support him to the end.

Seven Brown, not understanding much, asked: "Leonard, do you really have to claim the throne on the Southern Continent?"

"Yes."

Leonard didn’t explicitly mention the plans that involved the Plane Inspector, instead he said: "I deciphered the Forbidden Ruins Stele and saw the messages left by the predecessors. There is risk, but I must try."

Upon hearing this, Seven Brown, though not understanding, sensibly asked no more, recognizing Leonard’s seriousness from their mutual understanding.

Meanwhile, Sophia Jones and Catherine seemed pensive.

They now realized that Leonard might be setting up a very big scheme.

The atmosphere inevitably turned heavy as they talked about this topic.

For a while, it seemed hard to find a topic that could lighten this unknown heaviness.

Seven Brown sat cross-legged on the sofa, puffing up her cheeks, not particularly fond of this quietness.

She enjoyed the joy of a long-awaited reunion.

Suddenly thinking of something, she suggested: "How about we play some cards?"

Drinking and card playing have always been a perfect match.

"Yes."

Sophia Jones’ eyes sparkled, thinking it was not a bad idea.

Catherine responded casually: "Sure."

Seven Brown eagerly took out the playing cards from her Storage Ring, starting to shuffle the deck while she looked up at the other three and asked: "By the way, how shall we play?"

Catherine suggested: "Something simple, compare the size of two cards?"

Although simple, comparing card size is quite a boring way to play.

Initially, it wasn’t suitable for four players.

But at this moment, once she uttered the words, the people in the room immediately felt a strange familiarity.

Leonard guessed something, glanced at Catherine, didn’t get a response, but still decided to respond.

Seven Brown blinked, already guessing something, with an expectant look for the start of a good show on her charming face.

Sure enough, Catherine spoke again: "The last time I lost to Leader Quinn at Flood Gang, can I get a chance to win back?"

Upon hearing this, scenes from long ago replayed in Leonard’s memory.

The first time the four met was when Catherine disguised as a noble young man, gambling at Flood Gang.

But at that time, she was defeated by Sophia Jones, who was already a Legend.

That little misunderstanding, now recalled, seems to have gained more amusement.

Sophia Jones’ crystalline eyes sparkled, seemingly recalling certain images too, and she chuckled lightly.

She maintained her expression of slight eyebrow movement, with a gentle smile unspoken, showing great interest, and delightfully responded: "Sure."

Catherine asked straightforwardly: "Shall we add stakes?"

Sophia Jones hesitated not a bit: "Sure."

At their current realm, stakes obviously weren’t any monetary or material thing.

Catherine said: "Let’s do like last time at Flood Gang. Whoever loses, has to take off clothes, okay?"

Upon hearing this stake, Sophia Jones maintained the gentle smile on her beautiful face unchanged, with a composed expression that suggested she wouldn’t necessarily lose, and responded: "Sure."
