Catastrophe Card King-Chapter 523 - : 182

Chapter 523: 182

Chapter 183

Leonard Churchill couldn’t wrap his head around why the higher-ups of X Bureau would personally order to have him killed upon hearing Reuel Bible’s words.

While running, he had completely transformed into his Werewolf form, reaching his maximum speed.

Even in this lightning bolt moment of thought, he saw that Reuel Bible was gradually closing in.

Suddenly, another thought flashed through Leonard’s mind: Why did Reuel Bible show up so soon after he left the Blacksmith Shop?

As he thought about it, he understood that the mysterious person might have secretly helped to conceal his traces previously.

Otherwise, he would have been found before the flying knife could be forged.

Upon realizing this, Leonard became even more curious about the mysterious person’s identity, and instantly became wary.

The problem was, he hadn’t left a single means of contact for Reuel Bible. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

How did he find him?

Leonard looked closely at the increasingly closer “Reuel Bible”, his pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately came to a conclusion: a Fourth Tier assassin, enemy, disguise – an attempt to kill in one hit!

Thinking of this, without any hesitation, a cold light flashed in his hand and he immediately stabbed the person next to him.

Almost at the same time, a pitch-black dagger grazed past the skin on his back neck.

The killing intent from a close encounter with death instantly gave Leonard goosebumps.

“Huh?”

The person seemed to be taken by surprise as they didn’t reveal any flaws, wondering how they had been found out.

But because of Leonard’s strike, her fatal dagger missed its mark.

Is she really an enemy!

Leonard felt the chilling wind cut off his hair at the back of his neck, and his leg muscles swelled up and exploded instantly, distancing himself with a “whizz”.

Almost at the same time, a loud shout was heard by his ear: “Watch out!”

Looking up, he saw another Reuel Bible, enveloped in ghostly aura, rush over from not too far.

Looking like he had just experienced a tough battle, this guy was panting heavily and had injuries all over his body.

The corner of Leonard’s eye caught sight of the person who attempted assassination earlier; she had now transformed into an indifferent woman in a black suit.

“Whizz!”

“Whizz!”

“Whizz!”

The moment the real Reuel Bible showed up, the few individuals who were restraining him also stopped.

Only then did Leonard realize that his way out of the remnants had been sealed.

He observed the few people around him with a frosty gaze; all of them were wearing typical black suits.

Leonard had seen the wardrobe of X Bureau’s Field Agents before, and it was this kind of black suit. But the ones these people were wearing were slightly different.

The cuffs of their suit sleeves had silver secret patterns, as if hinting at some special identity.

However, what was more important was that these individuals had a very steady aura; even in this crisis-ridden remnant of Summer Shepherd City, there wasn’t a trace of unrest on their faces.

And from Reuel Bible’s expression, even he was cautiously tentative towards these few individuals.

“What’s going on…”

Leonard didn’t quite understand the situation either.

Such a mobilization to siege and kill a mere Second Tier him?

Reuel Bible stopped not far from Leonard, subtly guarding him. At the moment, he was engulfed with a black and red killing intent, already in full battle mode.

Seeing this scene, the men in black on the opposite side seemed a bit troubled.

The man leading the group, who had a goatee and wore a top hat, stared coldly at Reuel Bible, questioning him: “Old Bible, do you know what you’re doing?”

Reuel Bible responded: “I don’t know who commanded you all to come here. But I can clearly tell you, this man is my informant and my friend. Even if the Bureau thinks he poses any risk, I’ll take full responsibility!”

Hearing these words, Goatee’s eyes narrowed instantly, he didn’t explain much, only saying coldly: “This is a direct order from the O5 Elder Council. You can choose not to execute it, but preventing it? Have you forgotten the code of conduct?”

Reuel Bible stuck to his stance and firmly said: “‘Uphold the law and righteousness, justice is all laws,’ I haven’t forgotten anything! If I can’t even protect my friend today, what justice am I talking about?”

Upon saying those words, he stared at the people in front of him without showing any weakness, countered: “On the contrary, I am very curious, what exactly happened that warranted the effort of the Judging Office?”

Goatee’s eyes revealed a choking killing intent and said: “Out of courtesy for our colleagues, we were just not using our full force. But I must remind you to recognize your identity. Your Field Service Department has no authority to question any actions taken by us in Judging Office. All you need to know is that this is the order of the Elder Council. This target today, must be dealt with.”

Listening to this, Reuel Bible’s expression became even more unfriendly: “Judge without trial, just kill directly? Do you believe your actions can convince me?”

The moment these words left Reuel Bible’s mouth, the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Leonard, who stood by the side listening, was extremely puzzled too.

He had thought previously that it was trouble brought on by killing a few members of the X Bureau before, but that was clearly not it.

The level of this siege and kill mission, even Reuel Bible seemed taken aback.

But before anyone could think further, the battle erupted.

Goatee gave a light shout: “Take action! Kill without mercy!”

The surrounding people instantly started moving.

Almost instantly, several golden cards were thrown out, causing a tearing sound as they exploded in the air.

“Storm Chaos Cut”, “Cross Fire Hell”, “Binding Mystery· Clay Skill”…

Leonard caught sight of these Fourth and Fifth Tier spells only to witness the elements exploding like boiling water all around him.

There was no place to escape from all sides.

These high-level cards could easily kill a Second Tier Card Master with a single move.
