Catastrophe Card King

The “Fear Threads” in the sky above the city were still continuously converging into the branch building of the Golden Oak Security Company.

Leonard had previously asked Camilla and now knew that it was one of the Orlan Royal Family members collecting fear emotions.

As for the purpose…

That involved some royal secrets.

The epic original card passed down through the Orlan Dynasty, “Spade K-Tyrant,” represented the dual laws of “Kingship” and “Fear.”

The conditions for fusing with this high-ranking Demon Mark were also extremely demanding.

One not only needed a Kingship life pattern but also had to have a high tolerance for the Power of Fear.

Normally, it would be difficult to find a suitable person in a hundred years, let alone within the inner circles of the Augustus Royal Family.

Yet many of the kings in the history of the Orlan Dynasty were able to successfully fuse with it.

This involved some unspoken royal secrets.

With the help of that Secret Skill, it was possible to force a fusion with the Tyrant mark.

Although Camilla did not specify, Leonard guessed that the person collecting the Law of Fear was none other than Arthur, the New King of the Orlan Remnants, mentioned by Reuel Bible previously.

…

At the city gate, Leonard once again stood under the crowded bounty notice board amongst the hunters.

Seeing his own S-tier Bounty Order still hanging at the very top, his expression showed no abnormality, in fact, he was quite intrigued.

The bounty amount had increased again, reaching four billion.

He alone led the Second Tier fugitives in notoriety.

Moreover, the content of the arrest warrant was more detailed now, with the latest photos.

Whether it was his werewolf ancestral form or his original appearance, both were crystal clear.

Leonard carefully examined his photo on the notice and smacked his lips.

Truth be told, the “dark filter” reserved for fugitives on the announcements made him look quite handsome.

Listening to the sighs and discussions of the onlookers nearby, Leonard even understood why the big shots of the Revolutionary Army didn’t think of a warrant as a bad thing but rather considered the bounty amount as a form of “honor.”

The higher the bounty, the more it proved the enemies’ desperation.

However.

It was one thing for him to be wanted.

But when Leonard saw the arrest warrants for Noah Wright and Camilla, his expression turned strange.

“Strange, why would those two be wanted by the officials?”

Leonard’s brow furrowed slightly.

Camilla’s Ice Ability was highly recognizable, and it would be normal to be identified by others in battle.

Although Noah Wright was an undercover agent of the Thirteen Masked Knights within X Bureau, he disguised himself perfectly on most occasions. Even Reuel Bible hadn’t noticed him.

He shouldn’t have been exposed so easily.

Leonard thought to himself, “But how did these two end up on the wanted list with me?”

The arrest warrants were placed close together, indicating they were “linked individuals.”

Upon reflection, it was obvious that it was due to the previous “Battle of Ironforge.”

But this was precisely the part that baffled Leonard.

In Alternate Dimension, the only one who had really seen both Camilla and Noah in action was Hunchbacked Old Cook.

But wasn’t that guy a member of the Silver Moon Sect?

Since the disciples of the Silver Moon Church were all fugitives themselves, how could they possibly leak any information to the authorities?

“Could it be that the Silver Moon Sect has colluded with some noble from within the authorities?”

The only reasonable explanation Leonard could think of was this.

Have they been corrupted by Faith Pollution?

Or some other dirty political intrigue?

Seeing the arrest warrants, Leonard immediately felt the situation had become complicated.

But with a lift of his eyebrows and a smile creeping across his lips, he said, “Ah… I’m really starting to like this world more and more…”

The Old Continent was being developed, and the Federation’s situation was visibly becoming more chaotic.

But Leonard also quite liked this chaotic and dark Order.

It seemed that after several deaths, this thought became even more intense.

In the past, Leonard knew his days were numbered and was just living out the rest of his life.

But with this new lease on life, for the first time, he felt it was quite nice to be alive.

In his previous life, there was not much within human reach, and the Earth was not big.

It felt like the exploration of a Duplication of the world was complete; the joys to be found were limited, and more so, it was about self-stimulation through mental drain.

And in this world of card masters with Extraordinary Power, to Leonard, everything was brimming with anticipation.

The deeper he understood the world, the more he realized how shallow and ignorant he was.

Above human power were Transcendents and Gods.

And many other mysteries.

Just how did the fifty-two Demon God Sequence come about, who exactly is Mr. M that signed on Joker, why did the Taron Dynasty fall after three thousand years, what secrets are hidden deep in the Old Continent, what’s the deal with the World Rift and Inverted Rain, what exactly are those indescribable beings called Gods, and what is above this Underground Cave world…

Each mystery was like a star in the sky.

The more he counted, the more he found.

Leonard looked up at the sky, finding it all the more fascinating and yearning for it.

But these secrets were not beyond reach.

Rather, they gave people a strong sense of anticipation that if you explored in that direction, you could touch them.

Like the world map of a game in his previous life, Leonard felt that he had only untangled a bit of fog in the novice village.

And beyond lay the vast, unknown ‘Black Fog Area’ awaiting exploration.

This elusive sense of mystery also built a growing desire to explore.

If possible.

Leonard really wanted to lift the veil of mystery off this world and take a look underneath.

…

Leonard walked into Lion City.

Steel Mechanism’s buildings were constructed fast. In the few days that he had been away, a variety of structures sprang up like bamboo shoots after a rain.
