Chapter 835: Chapter 264: The Surprising Reward for Killing the Shadow
Leonard Churchill cleared out a large area of Undead Creatures near the Tube Building on Red District Street.
He also created a relatively safe temporary camp.
A group of survivors stayed in the Ruined Building.
After being scared and panicked for a day and a night, they suffered heavy casualties.
These people were completely exhausted and frightened, and had no intention of running around in this Dead City full of monsters.
However, Leonard Churchill did not plan to mix with them.
The more people there were, the bigger the target.
The greater the danger.
He also needed a large number of monster corpses to extract Extraordinary Traits.
Moreover, he wanted to see what that “Shadow” really was.
The nature of a “crisis” has always been the coexistence of “danger” and “opportunity.”
In the current situation, this Mysterious Realm called Divine Ruins Treasure House was not a dead end but a Big Chance.
If he didn’t try it out, he would feel like he was missing out.
What’s most important is,
Mushroomhead previously said that in this card game he also “bet his life,” which does not guarantee a solution.
Leonard Churchill felt that those Ancient God Followers might not be without means to break the game.
If he could help out a little, that would be great.
It was worth a try, no matter what.
After all, from what could be seen so far, the “method to complete the level” to leave this Mysterious Realm with Super Tier monsters was definitely not about Tiers, nor was it about killing monsters.
Otherwise, the Super Tier Vampire, Count Nikola, would definitely be the last to hope to get out alive.
Leonard Churchill surmised that completing the level likely required triggering some special conditions.
After resting for a moment, Catherine Carter’s tired complexion eased a lot.
Seeing Leonard Churchill’s thoughtful expression, she guessed something and took the initiative to ask, “Are you going to try the ‘Shadow’?”
Leonard Churchill nodded, “Hmm.”
Catherine Carter frowned her embroidered brows and looked thoughtful.
But it seemed to her crazy decision was also this guy’s usual modus operandi.
After a moment’s thought, she also figured out what Leonard Churchill had considered and made a decision, “Let me go with you. Maybe I can be of some help.”
This Silver Mist Rose had already gained an air of authority since the last Hero Trial.
In the face of danger, she didn’t think of shrinking back but was also focused on solving problems.
Hiding here might mean surviving.
But given the current situation, survival was only temporary.
If a way to leave the Mysterious Realm wasn’t found, it would be a dead end sooner or later.
Leonard Churchill listened and nodded, “Okay.”
The two had a foundation of cooperation and didn’t bother with formalities.
When the two of them said they were leaving, Lew Williams, who was standing by, also took the initiative to ask, “Brother Leonard, can…can I go with you too?”
Leonard Churchill looked at this nervous little-eyed fat man and thought for a moment before saying, “Of course.”
While this fat man might be a bit timid, Vera Williams had a very high opinion of him.
Just the fact that he had come to Sinless City alone before and had turned the “Great Ivan Shop” into the number one shop in the whole city under such tough operating conditions was telling.
If he could lend a hand, Leonard Churchill wouldn’t mind helping.
Lew Williams, seeing his agreement, was excited.
He could still recognize who the big shot was.
After all, they were acquaintances.
And so, Leonard Churchill and the other three, along with Monica, the dance troupe’s lead, left the Ruined Building.
Leonard Churchill had long ago figured out the nearby streets, and the group of four traversed the dimly lit ruins of the city.
Leonard Churchill and Catherine Carter were both decisive and efficient, seldom engaging in idle chatter.
They were familiar with each other and often understood what the other was thinking with just a look.
There was no need for too many words.
But Lew Williams was quite talkative.
Along the way, the fat man became the mood regulator.
He made the atmosphere in the group of four not seem so monotonous and awkward.
“Brother Leonard, how do you know this area so well? We thought about going down into the sewage system before, but we weren’t familiar with it and took many wrong turns.”
“Ah…I had thought about running when I saw the Vampire at Flood Gang, but I didn’t get far before a fight broke out…luckily Miss Monica saved me or I’d have been killed by Undead Creatures long ago.”
“Miss Carter, I heard that your Lionheart Family has plans to expand the army and explore the Old Continent? Is there a need for cooperation? What I mean is, if possible, I would like to become the exclusive supplier for your army. Although my Commerce Guild isn’t very famous right now… I can guarantee that the quality and price of the weapons and equipment I provide are definitely the best, especially in terms of Military Machinery. I currently have a lot of large Mechanical Factories and most of the Mechanics and Technicians under my control. You could say that I have shares in nearly 80% of the high-end machinery manufacturing in the Federation. I can satisfy all your needs for Mechanical Design and blueprint manufacturing… I think I am the only one in the Federation who can offer such a massive production volume.”
“Ah, you’ve agreed? Thank you, Miss Carter. If I manage to get out alive, I will definitely come to visit.”
This fat man was quite optimistic.
Not only did he chat, but he also talked business.
In his words, as long as he wasn’t dead, business had to go on.
If by chance he got out alive, the Lionheart Family, the Federation’s First Warlord, would be a major customer.
Moreover, after this battle at Flood Gang, the fatty could see that the likely future first heir to the Lionheart Family was the very Silver Mist Rose before him.
Catherine Carter originally had no intention of entertaining Lew Williams.
Her Lionheart Family did business with all the major Commerce Guilds in the Federation, but they dealt with those in charge.
Simply put, for that level of business, this fat man currently lacked the “qualifications” to negotiate.
However, seeing that Leonard Churchill was bringing him along, Catherine Carter regarded him with a more appreciative look.
