CATASTROPHE CARD KING

Chapter 916: 284_3

No matter what, both were considered friends who trusted each other.

“Okay.”

Catherine Carter cheerfully responded, then paused, saying, “You too.”

….

Meanwhile, as the Lionheart Family busily prepared for war and the construction of the Steel Fortress’s defensive works at Gold-digging Dock proceeded at full swing,

outside the Demon Cross Ruin City,

a vanguard team from the Ancient Dragon Empire had already gathered over a hundred people.

Above the fiery red campfire, several huge Demon Beasts were roasted to a golden crisp, dripping with fat and emitting a tantalizing aroma.

After all, being merely a vanguard team, their numbers were too few.

Good enough for plundering, but utterly insufficient for sieging and taking territory.

This group of people was preparing to wait for reinforcements to arrive.

At this moment, a sentry dressed as an assassin approached the fire with several mysterious figures cloaked in capes and reported, “Legion Commander Ron, there are a few guys from the East Wilderness who claim to have important intelligence to report.”

Red-haired Ron snorted through his nostrils, showing little interest, “Oh?”

Seeing these figures, he had already guessed their purpose.

The few dozen high-tier card masters nearby looked at these cloaked individuals with sneers on their faces.

The few cloaked men had never laid eyes on seventh-tier powerhouses before; the Dragon’s Might mixed in the aura had them breaking out in cold sweats.

The leader of the cloaked men lifted his cape, revealing a ghastly pale face with a goatee.

Even though he was a high-ranking official in the Federation, the palpable Killing Intention had him speaking quaveringly, “Respected mighty sir, at the behest of my Family Head, I’ve come to report some matters to you, and also brought along a modest gift.”

Once he finished speaking, a card master looking like a Spellcaster translated his words into the Taron Language.

During this interval, the goateed man dared to swallow his saliva, glancing cautiously at the robust individuals around him, who resembled barbarians.

Hearing this, Ron, impatient, cut a piece of roasted meat from the campfire and shoved it into his mouth, replying, “You have one minute. State your purpose.”

This was a completely unequal dialogue.

The cloaked people had absolutely no right to say “no”.

They had to state their purpose quickly, or the other party might not be interested in letting them live to continue speaking.

As soon as the translation was out, the goateed man hastily commenced, “Yes! Sir! My Family Head is Harold Capen, one of the real power holders–one of the five Senators in the Card Master Federation. Of course, he’s a mere nobody in your presence. We are here, firstly, to express the goodwill of the Capen Family and secondly, to bring some gifts to you…”

As he spoke, he and a few others behind him removed their Storage Rings and took out a huge pile of ancient Relics and jewelry.

They knew that what could catch the eye of a seventh-tier powerhouse was certainly not ordinary treasure, so they had brought the creme de la creme.

In addition to the treasures the Capen Family had cherished for centuries, there were also ancient Relics gathered from the Old Continent during recent times.

This “meeting present” was worth a fortune.

Indeed,

Looking at the mountain of treasures, Ron and the other Dragon-blooded card masters grew noticeably friendlier, though the scorn in their eyes deepened.

To them, the Card Master Federation was nothing but a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

But the exchange wasn’t over yet. The goateed man hurriedly took out several scrolls and presented them with all due respect, saying, “Sir, there’s also these blueprints. These are the latest defensive layouts of Gold-digging Dock and Sinless City… along with the Federation’s current most detailed maps, including the locations of major cities and the main defensive forces… This should sufficiently demonstrate our sincerity.”

Ron, looking at the pile of blueprints, showed a hint of joy on his face and inquired, “What do you want?”

Although what that Card Master Federation wasn’t seen as a threat to them,

the East Wilderness was vast, after all, and with these maps, their conquest and plundering would be greatly facilitated.

In the empire, gathering such strategic information also counted as “first-class merit”.

The goateed man, feeling the oppressive atmosphere lighten, sighed with relief, “My Family Head said, we need nothing. To serve the mighty is the greatest honor of our Capen family.”

“Heh heh.”

Ron’s gaze narrowed slightly as he listened.

Although war required these “traitors”,

he was, after all, a professional soldier and couldn’t help but disdain such low character.

With the other party being incredibly powerful, the goateed man had no expectation of respect.

Fearing his offering was insufficient, he swiftly added, “Oh, revered sirs, there’s one most crucial piece of information, that we know of, the Lionheart Family is massing troops at Gold-digging Dock for defense, including several in the Legendary Realm… esteemed sirs, you must be exceedingly careful. Also, regarding the Orlan Dynasty, which is the Royal Family of the Taren Dynasty from three thousand years ago, they control the only passage through the Abyssal Rift…”

Nobody would have expected that before the enemy could even attack,

the Capen Family, one of the Federation’s five Senators, had already sold out the entire Federation.

Ron also hadn’t expected to obtain so much vital intelligence so easily.

However, looking at the goateed man, a note of caution appeared in his eyes as he commanded softly, “Soul Search.”

Before the few cloaked individuals could understand what was happening, the goateed leader was already rolling his eyes back and collapsing onto the ground.

A Death Series Card Master stepped forward, producing a card and invoking a wisp of transparent soul smoke from the corpse.

The surviving cloaked figures, witnessing this terrifying scene, were already trembling with fear.
