Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 624: Chapter 210: Goodbye Catherine Carter_3

Catherine Carter suddenly realized that this guy might be someone she knew.

Indeed, she knew Baron Keton, but only from dance parties.

Since the Destiny Coin hinted at it, he clearly was an important person.

Then this guy was absolutely not any “Baron Keton.”

A disguise?

Daring to disguise himself so boldly to get in, the first reaction in Catherine Carter’s mind was, “Has that guy come?”

Thinking this, Catherine headed straight over and said, “Baron Keton, long time no see, may I have this dance with you?”

…

Leonard Churchill looked at the black-dressed girl before him with some confusion in his mind.

He didn’t know this woman.

His first thought was that she was an old acquaintance of Baron Keton.

The private lives of the upper-class society are chaotic, and it’s normal for nobles to have multiple lovers.

Leonard had no slip-ups that could reveal his disguise and readily accepted, “Of course.”

He extended his hand in a gentlemanly manner and led the black-dressed girl into the dance floor, blending into the throngs of dancers.

Although Leonard had a smile on his face, he remained silent, initially intending to wait for the other party to speak, to verify her relationship with Baron Keton before figuring out how to respond.

However, looking at those eyes that were also sizing him up, he became puzzled: What was this woman trying to confirm?

Looking into those eyes, Leonard felt an extremely familiar sensation.

While pupil colors could be disguised, the light deep within the eyes that pointed directly to the soul could not lie if it was someone very familiar.

Moreover… from the perspective of a professional actor, that lofty and resolute glare was not something an average noble girl would possess.

Before Leonard could observe any more, the black-dressed girl chuckled teasingly as if she had confirmed something, “Haven’t recognized me yet?”

Upon hearing these suggestive words, Leonard suddenly knew that the other party was also in disguise.

Moreover, speaking in that tone, he immediately realized that she knew him, not Keton.

Leonard guessed in a flash, “Miss Carter?”

Catherine didn’t plan to tease him any further and directly said, “When I heard that Abel had been killed a few days ago, I guessed it was you. But I didn’t expect you didn’t leave Lion City and have even come here.”

“…”

He received her telepathic message with a self-mocking smile, truly being recognized again.

But he didn’t think Catherine had seen through his disguise.

After receiving a tip-off from the famous detective Robin Smith last time, he paid even more attention to the details of his disguise, and his current performance was almost flawless.

Besides, Leonard knew that Catherine held a special relic, the Fate Coin.

That thing had some magical effects.

Such as divination.

…

Nevertheless, being recognized didn’t seem to bother Leonard.

Having shared life-and-death experiences, their relationship could not be considered distant.

Leonard also had a good impression of the noble miss who once seemed to him like a caged bird.

Moreover, seeing the rather plain-looking black-dressed girl before him, his expression became more playful.

This was the Lionheart Family’s stronghold, and Catherine had disguised herself to get in as the Elder Miss?

It seemed she was here to stir things up as well.

Speaking in the tone of friends meeting, Catherine casually asked, “What brings you here?”

Leonard replied honestly, “Just here to watch the excitement.”

Catherine raised an eyebrow slightly, which did fit his character.

Leonard also asked in return, “And what about you, Miss Carter?”

Catherine didn’t hide her intentions and bluntly said, “To kill a few people.”

“Oh?”

Leonard heard the killing intention beneath her calm tone and suddenly laughed.

Without asking, he knew who she came to kill.

During the last Hero Trial, those from the Carter family were not peaceful, and Young Master Kak wasn’t the only one who got surrounded and attacked.

Now having survived, naturally, it was time to seek revenge.

And tonight, everyone was present; it was an opportunity to settle scores in one fell swoop.

Tsk tsk, the nobility is indeed chaotic.

Leonard felt that the night would likely be filled with excitement.

But the moment he saw Catherine show up, he was almost convinced that Camilla would most likely appear tonight.

He even suspected that Catherine intended to take advantage of the chaos to commit her killings.

The woman’s strategic acumen was by no means weak.

The two didn’t discuss this topic further, after exchanging a few words, they both had a good idea of the other’s intentions.

Catherine brought up something else, “Thanks to you and your friend, I survived last time.”

Leonard listened and smiled noncommittally.

It was Tracy Garcia’s mother who had saved the two, so he didn’t dare take credit.

But he didn’t elaborate further.

What he was actually thinking about was something else.

Suddenly, Leonard said, “By the way, do you know that Abel was from the Silver Moon Sect?”

“Yes. After you killed Abel, I heard some news and got to know about that Silver Moon stronghold.”

Catherine’s expression also turned somewhat serious.

She pondered for a moment before saying, “He was a spy the Silver Moon Sect wanted to place within our Lionheart family to infiltrate us. But it seems that the Orlan Remnants are behind it.”

The Lionheart Family was a top-tier noble house; their intelligence network was naturally more accurate than what Leonard could guess.

Hearing that the Orlan Remnants were implicated, despite his suspicions, he looked puzzled, “Oh?”

Catherine would not normally divulge such top-secret information to others, but since it was Leonard who wanted to know, she responded, “Those Orlan Remnants are very ambitious. They seem to want to use faith to restore their country.”

“…”

Leonard frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Faith pollution was an absolute civilization-ending disaster for card masters.
