Catastrophe Card King

Despite all the glory before, we must flee now.

“Aunt Jones is so amazing. I only found out today how powerful you are…”

“Our Rita will also become very powerful in the future. Machinery is the extraordinary fifth element; the future is limitless.”

“Oh.”

At a crossroad, everyone stopped.

Although each of the members of the Revolutionary Army was a regular on the wanted list and was widely known.

But the reality of being a rebel is precarious, with a fatality rate far higher than adventure hunters.

At least after risking their lives in exploration, adventure hunters can enjoy life.

Whereas the Revolutionary Army is either on the run from their pursuers or on the front lines of battle.

So from the start, Lord Nine Brown never intended to let Seven Brown accompany them.

He understands the character of his daughter well.

Despite growing up amidst a dark criminal gang, she was a simple girl with great talent in machinery who loved adventure, and was more suited to be an adventurer.

To explore relics, to discover, to create, and to carve her own life.

After all, fledglings must eventually fly on their own.

Even if there is a cliff ahead.

At the crossroads, other people went ahead.

Sophia Jones and Lord Nine Brown stayed behind to say goodbye.

“Young Leonard Churchill, please do take care of Rita.”

“Sure.”

Watching the affable bald old man, Leonard nodded.

From the insights he obtained from conversations about the Tyrant Body imparted by Lord Nine Brown earlier, he had already had several speculations.

Farewell is always melancholic. Listening to all this, Seven Brown, on the side, pouted her lips and muttered, “Old Man, you take care of yourself too. Don’t die.”

She had never been separated from her father since childhood, and since this parting, who knew when would they meet again.

She thought her personality would not feel sorrowful.

Yet as she spoke, the corners of her eyes inexplicably stung.

Looking at his daughter, who was half a head taller than himself, Lord Nine Brown chuckled: “Sure.”

Not liking the atmosphere, Seven Brown prepared to leave.

But suddenly remembering something, she asked, “And Aunt Jones, I’ll ask on behalf of Leonard, when can we meet again?”

Leonard, who was just quietly observing from the side, was taken aback by the question, where did he ever want to ask that?

Upon hearing this, Sophia Jones sipped her lips and smiled, ” perhaps in the near future?”

Seven Brown replied, “Oh.”

As if Sophia Jones just thought of something, she spoke again: “When you’re not strong enough, looking for someone feels like searching in a vast sea of people. When you stand higher, you realize that some people have always been there. No matter where, the people who can stand high and enjoy the view are always those few.”

With that, she smiled, “Rita, you have to strive to become stronger.”

“Huh?”

Seven Brown was puzzled, why involve her?

Leonard, however, pondered on it.

Having said what needed to be said, Seven Brown turned to Leonard, “Let’s go.”

Leonard nodded.

They waved farewell.

In the dark corridor, the two of them walked further and further apart.

For a long time, no one spoke.

The darkness shrouded their expressions.

Suddenly, Seven Brown spoke, “Leonard, do you think I’m holding you back? Always being caught…”

Hearing her tone, Leonard felt an unfamiliar sense of confusion.

Like a carefree girl experiencing the harsh reality, and suddenly gaining wisdom.

Leonard chuckled, “No.”

“Oh.”

Seven Brown responded.

After a moment, she said very seriously, “I want to become stronger… as strong as Aunt Jones!”

In the darkness, Leonard smiled slightly and nodded, “Alright. Then let’s head to the Old Continent.”

He initially thought that Seven Brown’s desire for adventure was just a heat- of-the-moment fascination with the unknown.

Now, he didn’t think so anymore.
