Catastrophe Card King

Catherine Carter stood up, seemingly having realized something. Her confidence was suddenly restored.

Losing is losing. Thanks for the lesson, President Jones.”

As if all her mind knots were untied; she let out a relieved smile and added, “I will keep my promise and not target your Flood Gang anymore. However, I will send someone over with a gift. My Lionheart Family is interested in collaborating with the Flood Gang. I hope you can consider it when the time comes, President Jones.”

Sophia Jones smiled and nodded: “When Nine Master returns, I will inform him.”

Catherine didn’t say much more; she took a set of clothes from the Storage Ring and calmly covered her enchanting figure.

Before leaving, it seemed she thought of something. She glanced at Sophia’s graceful figure and candidly admitted, “Indeed, I can’t keep up with this.”

Sophia Jones smiled charmingly without responding.

Leonard Churchill also noticed the changes in the noble young lady and marvelled at it in his heart.

The murderous intent vanished, showing not ordinary state of mind.

The three watched as Catherine Carter dressed and directly left the private room.

As Sophia Jones watched her leave, her crystal eyes were misty, and her red lips slightly opened, murmuring, “The Lionheart Family indeed spawns talents. If Miss Catherine Carter can take control, the future Federation politics could be much more exciting.”

That said, she also started to get dressed.

Leonard Churchill gentlemanly turned his gaze away.

He didn’t understand the strategy of the final round.

But he understood what was said.

It was not just the cards that made the young miss of the powerful Lionheart family admit defeat.

It must be strength.

This President Jones… deeply unfathomable indeed.

Seven Brown hurried over to help, buttoning up her clothes, while saying, “Wow…Aunt Jones, your figure is absolutely perfect. If I were a man, I wouldn’t be able to leave the house every day.”

Sophia Jones scolded in a playful tone: “Behave yourself!”

The age difference between the two was not large; the title “Aunt” related more to the old man’s position.

No outsiders were here, neither the cold and ruthless vice president nor the gang boss’s daughter.

No need for taboos.

Upon hearing this, Seven Brown did not retract her words but rather turned to ask, “Isn’t it, Leonard? You think so too, right?”

Seven Brown, who grew up in a gang, is quite straightforward. Anyone who is truly good to her is considered a brother.

After spending the night together, she had already accepted Leonard, a life-saving and knowledgeable brother, into her inner circle.

Of course, she didn’t stand on ceremony.

Leonard just laughed but didn’t say anything.

With the external enemy gone, the atmosphere immediately relaxed.

Once Sophia Jones was dressed, she swiftly reassumed her elegant and aloof identity as the vice president of the Flood Gang. Nodding slightly to Leonard, she said, “Sorry for the misunderstanding.”

Leonard nodded but said nothing.

She was referring to the incident where she undressed.

But this topic, while the woman could bring up, he couldn’t.

It seemed the matter has passed as it was.

Sophia Jones asked: “You guys haven’t had lunch yet, right?”

Seven Brown: “Yeah.”

Sophia Jones: “Let’s go, we can have lunch together.”

While speaking, her clear eyes showed flickering colors.

When they first met yesterday, she suspected Leonard might have ulterior motives.

She took particular note of him and found out her first impression of him was excellent.

After the gambling episode, Sophia’s impression of Leonard improved again.

Being able to remain calm throughout was an impressive quality.

Moreover, the last Joker card that appeared left her puzzled.

It should’ve been a K, but it felt like a twist of fate led to the Joker.

If she thinks about it, there were only four people in the room.

Seven was dealing the cards, so she probably wasn’t an influence.

So, it must have been Leonard.

Could it be that her judgment on their figures in the final round affected Miss Carter’s fate and increased her own?

Sophia thought a lot.

The initial reason she took Seven and Leonard with her was not just for Seven to learn how to handle unexpected events.

It was also because her demon’s power sensed something unusual.

There was something special about Leonard.

The tenth floor of Flood building housed a VIP restaurant.

This was the fanciest restaurant Leonard had seen since coming to this world, and the dishes were excellent.

However, his desire for food was minimal. He felt everything tasted okay.

The three chatted casually as they ate.

Sophia’s emotional intelligence was high, her words careful and considered.

Even if she did not take the initiative to ask.

Through details in the conversation, she was able to quickly figure out some of Leonard’s situation.

Of course, Leonard had no intentions to deliberately hide anything.

After the events at the casino, he felt it didn’t matter if his fugitive identity was exposed.

Seven Brown didn’t have such deep considerations. Being curious, she asked whatever came to her mind.

After getting to know Leonard, if she had any issues, she asked them directly.

As the three chatted, the topic veered towards the arrest warrant.

At this time, Seven Brown curiously asked: “Leonard, do you really not know ‘the lantern bearer,’ Vince Lane, the 13th Masked Knight? I heard he’s very powerful. He killed Kane in front of the Golden Guard from the Fierce Beast Legion. Oh, come to think of it, that guy is the cousin of the noble miss we just met, right?”

Leonard shookhis head: “I don’t know him.”

Seven Brown had always been in the city and didn’t pay much attention to various information: “Ah…if you don’t know the assassin, then why does the Lionheart family want to hunt you down?”

Leonard stuck a piece of meat in his mouth and replied calmly, “Because I tried to assassinate him once. But I didn’t succeed.”

Hearing these words, Seven Brown turned to look at him in surprise:

“You…really tried?”
