Catastrophe Card King

As expected, a stealthy assassin appeared beside him, thrusting a pitch-black dagger towards his lower back.

If anyone wanted to kill this Young Master Kane, they had only this one chance.

Leonard Churchill did not hesitate, he released the scalpel in his hand aiming it towards Kane’s neck.

Though Kane appeared to be shielded by a layer of golden light, Leonard’s face turned grim, he mentally directed the scalpel to stab down mercilessly.

At the same time, he skillfully evaded the attack from the assassin beside him.

But just as the scalpel was about to pierce Kane’s neck, there was a “clang” sound, like the shattering of an eggshell, and the scalpel was flung away.

“There’s another layer?”

When Leonard saw this, there was a feeling of regret in his heart.

He also realized that there would be no second chance to strike.

Using the inertia, he rushed past Young Master Kane, catching the scalpel and adding some distance between them.

The assassin did not pursue him, but instead stayed by Kane’s side, protecting him.

Kane had never experienced a real battle from childhood to adulthood, how could he have anticipated being ambushed with a flash bomb?

As he recovered from the dizziness, his back was already drenched in cold sweat.

He clearly understood that he had just had a brush with death.

In a panic, he grabbed the spatial card, but felt his dignity was trampled on once again.

Staring at Leonard in the distance, he angrily shouted, “On the honor of the Lionheart Family, I, Kane swear. No matter who you are. No matter who’s behind you. I guarantee, you are as good as dead! You and your family, your friends, your women, all of them! I assure you, I’ll make you regret being born into this world!”

Though Leonard didn’t feel threatened by these words, his eyes turned cold as he casually replied, “Oh?”

At that look, Kane shuddered before he could finish his words, scared out of his wits.

He saw it, this guy really dares to kill him!

For the first time in his life, someone dared to look at him with such cold eyes.

That feeling of being on the verge of death, he didn’t want to experience it again, his instinctual fear made him hastily activate his teleportation card.

There was a flash of spatial fluctuation and he disappeared, leaving behind only the Merit Badge.

Looking at this, Leonard felt some regret.

But Young Master had too many treasures, including the teleportation card, currently, Leonard still doesn’t have the means to kill him.

Before he could think more about it, the assassin was already rushing towards him.

Watching his young master teleport away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and could now let loose and engage in combat.

He too, wanted to test out this “enemy”.

The two fought fiercely in the dense forest.

Leonard had to admit that, amongst the Fierce Beast Legion, this assassin was the strongest one he’d encountered.

Whether it was his martial skills, equipment, or combat techniques, they were all top tier, even his battling skills surpassed Leonard’s, who only relied on cards to increase his powers.

But in the end, he only had First Tier abilities.

The gap in raw physical attributes was too great to be compensated for by combat techniques.

The battle was a bit terrifying, but the outcome was destined.

After battling fiercely for dozens of rounds, Leonard managed to kill him with a flying knife.

Leonard started collecting the spoils of war from the assassin, nothing particularly special.

A decent poison dagger, a piece of inner armor, there were also a few advanced potions in the storage ring.

Overall, they were of high grade.

But there wasn’t anything particularly notable.

The good items for saving one’s life were all taken away by Young Master Kane.

Leonard didn’t dwell on it too much.

After several attempts, he still couldn’t kill him.

So, perhaps it wasn’t this guy’s time to die just yet.

Besides, having a few spoils of war was good enough.

After cleaning up the assassin’s spoils, he headed back on the route they came.

By now, the outcome of the battlefield in that direction should have been decided.

He did not forget, there at least four relics in the hands of that group of people.

Now that Young Master Kane has escaped the space, Leonard could peacefully inspect the bodies and equipment of those Fierce Beast soldiers.

There was also the matter of the Red Baron.

He didn’t know how things stood there.

Maybe there was still a chance to try..
