Catastrophe Card King

Leonard Churchill also saw his own arrest warrant on the corner of the notice board.

People didn’t know his real face, so they simply used a hand-drawn depiction of a werewolf and marked a bounty of 500W.

Leonard chuckled to himself.

If they truly wanted to capture someone based on this image, none of the card masters who were using werewolves as their primary material for their “Spades 4 – Beast Walker” could escape.

But the issue was, this depiction varied greatly from him, the real person.

He used the Primordial Template for his career.

With the Ancestral Reversion Entry, his werewolf form changed every day.

The transformed image and the one on the arrest warrant were vastly different.

If one were to really compare his werewolf form with someone else, it would be like comparing a tiger to a cat.

Leonard did not pay much attention to the arrest warrant.

He walked out of the station.

But as soon as he arrived at Gold-digging Dock, he became cautious immediately.

Because Leonard realized, the number of security personnel here was more than ten times as many as before.

In the past, only a few squads from the Sinless City gang patrolled the dock.

Nobody would cause trouble.

After all, the gang had absolute say in Sinless City.

But when he returned today, not only have the gang members multiplied several times, he saw employees dressed in suits from the Golden Oak Security Company, the professional soldiers from the Fierce Beast Legion dressed in military uniform, and various plainclothes security officers from unknown organizations…

“Huh… Isn’t it strange that the military has stationed their people here?”

Upon seeing this, Leonard felt strange.

He thought the extra people were there to capture assassins.

But looking at this extravagant setup, that clearly wasn’t the case.

He only left for a month, but seemingly, big changes had taken place in Sinless City.

Along with the crowd, he walked to the cable car at the edge of the rift, bought a ticket, and got on.

There were no inspections or obstructions at all.

At least Leonard was aware that one Young Master Kane died.

Many hunters who had come out of other ruins didn’t even know what had happened.

Witnessing the noble troops appearing at various places at the docks, all were taken aback.

Once they got on the cable car, their discussions were all about this subject.

“Hey, brother! What on earth happened at Gold-digging Dock? Why have sudden increases in people appeared out of nowhere?”

“Ah, it’s all because of the recent conflict among the gangs in the city, resulting in heated power struggles. Each one is fighting for the right to control the dock transportation. Now, no major gangs trust each other and have thus hired the Golden Oak Security Company for combined defense. And then I heard that a high-ranking noble was killed in a ruin recently, and the noble army mysteriously stationed themselves here… Anyways, this is just how it is now. It’s making us utterly anxious, fearing that one day the dock will get bombed…” “I get that. But why are the noble armies stationed at Gold-digging Dock? Even when the former governor Stan Miller was alive, not even a security officer had been arranged in the Lower City. Now all of a sudden there’s a military presence?”

“The Lionheart Family members are very tough, determined to apprehend the murderer of Young Master Kane. Anyone who dares to obstruct will be dealt with as if they were the murderer, and they won’t stop until they succeed. Not even the Miller Family dares to say a word. Who else would dare to block?” “Do the Flood Gang, Brotherhood, and other major gangsters allow this?” “What can be done even if they don’t? Right now in Upper Sinless City, fifty thousand elite soldiers of the Fierce Beast Legion are stationed. Who would dare to say the word ‘no’?”

“Moreover, there are rumors saying that quite a few gangs have been bought by the nobles and are now secretly doing work for the Upper City folks…”

II II

Hearing this, Leonard immediately understood.

He had experienced the combat power of the Fierce Beast Legion, let alone fifty thousand, even ten thousand elite troops would be too much for any gang in Sinless City to confront head-on.

Power is the right to speak.

Previously, without outsiders, the Gold-digging Dock which was the only passage from Sinless City to the Old Continent, was jointly managed by several major gangs in the city.

After all, it’s concerning self-interest. Nobody would dare to cause chaos and the profits were divided proportionally.

But now that Sinless City has been flooded with a large amount of outside forces, this stable pattern has undergone subtle changes.

After the original balance is broken, the ownership of the dock becomes very important.

In the past, when the dock was quiet and stable, it was fine. But now conflicts are intensifying, and once the floodgate is opened, it can’t be stopped.

That is what gangs do.

As fierce as they are, the core issue is still about benefits.

If the money is good enough, they could turn against someone in a minute.

However, it was surprising that the Lionheart Family had seized certain rights to station troops at the dock so quickly.

Leonard faintly smelled the scent of political conspiracy.

Just when Kane died over there, they moved in immediately. Although everything looks… reasonable and rational.

But something feels off.

He didn’t think much about it.

This conspiracy had nothing to do with him and there was no interest.

After getting off the cable car and walking a few steps, he arrived on the bustling Downing Street again.

Although Sinless City has been turbulent recently, it’s more prosperous and lively than it was a month ago.

The influx of all kinds of outsiders also makes this entertainment street a real gold-digging place. The various Moonlight Taverns and gambling dens are packed with people.

A number of old taverns on the street have been renovated and there are a lot more dazzling places that obviously have been funded by the wealthy.

Leonard found a tavern and sat down.

He paid to get news about the recent situation of Sinless City from an information merchant.

It was almost as he expected.

Currently, Sinless City is full of all kinds of people and various forces are struggling in the dark.

The noble class wants to extend their reach to the Old Continent and will certainly stir up chaos in Sinless City first.

Only by disrupting the original order can outsiders have a chance..
