Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 751: Chapter 242: Turning the Tide_4

Leonard Churchill, however, seemed as if he had heard nothing, standing silently in place.

…..

Indeed, events seemed to be unfolding in the very direction Sam least wanted them to.

The vampire Kole soared on his fleshy wings, his eyes flashing a chilling light at the sight of Leonard Churchill and Sam below.

He did not take the two Second Tier card masters seriously, but killing them would waste some time.

On the other hand, Vera Williams was getting farther and farther away.

Once out of Bolton Town, the Wilderness mine spread in all directions; if she got far enough, it was doubtful she could be found again.

With this in mind, Kole spared the two men one more glance, snorted coldly, and said, “I will spare your lives for a bit longer.”

With that, he flapped his wings and turned around to chase in the direction Vera Williams had gone.

“Damn it!”

Furious, Sam watched the enemy fly away, cursed angrily, and struggled anxiously to get up and chase after.

Even if he were not injured, he knew he could never catch up to the flying vampire.

At this moment, the loyal Security Squad Leader seemed to age ten years instantaneously, with despair in his eyes.

But still, he wanted to make one last effort to catch up.

Yet before he could move, he heard Leonard Churchill’s indifferent voice beside him, “You and the people from the Commerce Guild should head south. It will be safer that way. Leave that vampire to me.”

“????”

Upon hearing these words, Sam thought he had heard them incorrectly.

Heading south, wasn’t that the opposite direction to where his young mistress was?

Was he being told to flee the battlefield?

His rage had reached its limit: Did this man even know what he was doing?!

“…”

However, Leonard Churchill showed no intention of explaining himself, merely watching the distance the vampire had flown, locking onto its energy while estimating the range in his mind.

Telling Sam to lead the people from the Commerce Guild in a different direction was indeed for safety.

It was also to save them.

The vampires’ main target was Vera Williams; they wouldn’t relentlessly pursue the people from the Commerce Guild.

That was how they could truly survive.

On the other hand, to protect Vera Williams, he alone was enough.

Having more people was actually a hindrance.

They made a larger target, and being chased would bring endless trouble.

Leonard Churchill did not think he could save these people a second time.

Sam was unaware of all this, barely supporting himself as he was about to protest.

But it was then that Leonard Churchill moved.

Following a sharp “pop” of Air Explosion, Sam saw the figure in front of him disperse.

In an instant, the old Security Squad Leader thought he saw the most shocking scene of his life.

That proud figure was actually stepping through the air!

“This… this…”

As Squad Leader Sam watched Leonard Churchill leave a series of Illusions in the air with his rapid movement, he came to a startling realization that he was witnessing an utterly absurd spectacle.

Traveling long distances by stepping through the air?

The movement was so fast it was as if he were floating midair.

Sam was so shocked he could not find words.

He knew of some Mysteries that allowed short-distance stepping through the air, which many Second and Third Tier assassins could manage.

However, this… long-distance stepping on air?

He had never seen anyone achieve such an elegant level!

Even among the Fourth Tier, he had never seen it.

“How strong is this guy?!”

The scene before him was so striking, it felt like a dam bursting, instantly overwhelming Sam’s entire perception of “Sunny”.

With such exquisite movement skills, how could Sam not recognize that before him stood a great master!!!

The resentment he had felt moments ago was swept away in an instant.

So this guy… that was his intention.

Letting oneself head south was simply because he thought they were too weak and would hold him back!

Letting that vampire go earlier wasn’t an accident, but a deliberate act.

It was to pull the battlefield further away, to protect them, so as not to attract the vampires in Machinery City!

Otherwise, with this guy’s speed, even if he carried someone with him, he would have been able to escape unscathed.

Hiss…

And the “kidnapping” of the young lady earlier was also part of his plan!

Realizing everything all at once, Sam suddenly felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

Strong in strength, and his strategies were flawless!

His impression of this “Sunny” skyrocketed to an indescribable level of admiration.

Thinking of “Sunny”‘s calm demeanor just now, Sam snapped back from his shock and felt reassured.

He watched the groan in the air, running swiftly, and muttered with a sneer, “The young lady has really brought a strong fellow…”

No wonder that “Sunny” could easily dodge the attacks of a Third Tier vampire…n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

With this thought, Sam was worried, but still felt completely relieved.

If that person couldn’t solve the problem, he would be even less help.

On the other hand, following the arrangement would make his young mistress safer.

With that thought, Sam wasted no further time and beckoned the other members of the Commerce Guild, mustering them to head south.

….

“Pop, pop, pop, pop…”

A series of Air Explosions could be heard in the air, but they were inconspicuous amid the sounds of gunfire.

At that moment, Vera Williams was running frantically in panic, not daring to look back despite hearing the noise.

For at that moment, a Second Tier vampire had somehow emerged from some dark corner and was now hot on her heels.

That icy killing intent was like a bone-chilling Cold aura closing in on her back; she could already hear the vampire’s creepy, chuckling laughter.

Seeing this, the Third Tier vampire Kole flying in the sky also let out a cold sound.

As long as he captured this “target,” the mission would be accomplished.

However, before its cold smile could fully form on its face, unable to comprehend what was happening, an abrupt change occurred.

In its field of vision, it saw a figure swiftly pass in front of it, instantly appearing beside the woman.

Before Kole could take any action,

A muffled “thump” echoed throughout the Wilderness mine.

The head of the Second Tier vampire about to grab Vera Williams was pressed down by an iron-like hand, heavily smashed into the ground a full foot deep, splattering blood everywhere.

Vera Williams was also taken aback by this sudden commotion.

Turning her face, she saw that familiar visage.

She just saw Leonard Churchill, shrouded in Gang Air like smoke, now within arm’s reach, his expression as ever, calm and composed.

Vera’s pupils contracted, as if she had seen the most shocking sight of her life.
