Chapter 108: Chapter 70 Doctor’s Spoils of War

When the doctor died, the spear was pulled back by an invisible force, retracing

the trajectory it had just flown.

Leonard Churchill had quietly retreated to the edge of the floor, thinking to

himself, “Was I outsmarted…?”

Seeing that the three men did not intend to jump down and attack, he held back from leaping into the abyss immediately.

These three mysterious individuals weren’t attracted by the explosion, but

were originally following the doctor.

Moreover, with a single move they seriously injured the Old Days Believer and even brought a third tier relic. Their strength was a bit unfathomable.

This was not good news for Leonard Churchill.

Before he could speculate further, the burly figure wielding the spear, whose features were indiscernible, seemed afraid that Leonard would escape. He made no hostile moves and took the initiative to speak up: “Friend, don’t misunderstand. We bear you no ill will.”

With that, he identified himself: ‘We are investigators from the Federation X Bureau, tracking this guy from the Silver Moon Sect.”

X Bureau?

Leonard Churchill had heard about it from Camilla.

But to him, whether this identity was real or fake was not important.

He didn’t avoid leaping into the abyss out of curiosity about these three men’s

identity.

instead, he wanted to see whether there was still a chance to get the spoils of

war.

The man seemed very sharp and glanced at the body, then faintly spoke: “Originally, we wanted to capture him alive, but since you killed him, let it be.” Old Days Believers bore the mark of divinity and thus didn’t possess much value for interrogation.

His statement was simply to control the narrative.

Leonard Churchill remained silent, thinking: His spear attack didn’t seem like he wanted to keep the believer alive, did it?

Yet he hadn’t acted, and Leonard was a little unclear about his intentions.

The man didn’t waste words and got straight to the point: “I’d like to ask if the clue to the Redwood District was provided by you?”

He was polite in his questioning.

Hearing this, Leonard Churchill’s expression changed slightly: What’s the meaning of this question?

But after a moment, he admitted: “Yes.”

There was no point in hiding it.

They had tracked him down, even bringing relics that could suppress healing.

Clearly, they knew a lot.

However, if they didn’t attack him right away, there was probably room for negotiation.

Hearing his answer, the man didn’t seem surprised, and said: “What if we made

a deal.”

Before Leonard could respond,

The man said directly: “Give me all the information you know about the Silver Moon Sect. In exchange, the storage ring of this corpse will be yours.”

The main goal of Reuel Bible and his companions was to obtain information about the Silver Moon Sect.

Now, there seemed to be a better option, a man who was involved in the destruction of three Silver Moon bases!

Upon hearing this, Leonard Churchill’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He could sense that the man was intuitive.

He had guessed that Leonard had not fled immediately because he wanted

what was on the corpse.

That’s why he proposed this deal.

If it was any other terms, Leonard might not have anything of equivalent

worth to offer.

But… information?

This struck Leonard Churchill as a little strange.

He guessed the man’s purpose: in the eyes of these three men, information was apparently more valuable than spoils.

Or perhaps, they wanted both?

Leonard Churchill probed with a question: “Do we have an agreement?”

The man responded firmly: “We have an agreement.

Since he didn’t have the upper hand, Leonard Churchill stopped beating around the bush and said directly: “I discovered the ritual of the four pillars used by Ancient God Sect in some ruins. The moon had just appeared and I knew there was a ritual site at No. 17 Tailor Street, so I deduced there were other similar bases…”

There was nothing to hide about this.

After all, he had already written most of it in his report.

Leonard just elaborated on the four-pillar ritual.

But he didn’t know as much as the three men had expected.

When he finished, the man was clearly taken aback and asked in surprise, “Is that all?”

Leonard Churchill: “That’s all.”

He only had that much information.

For example, he had only just learned the term “Silver Moon Sect.”

Leonard had guessed the three men assumed he had provided the clues, and thus, must know a lot of detailed inside information.

Obviously, his answer disappointed them.

He thought the man would back down.

Unexpectedly, the man then burst into hearty laughter: “Ha ha ha ha…”

It seemed like self-deprecating laughter for miscalculating, but there was no hint of intent to backtrack.

Leonard watched him, taking in every detail of his body out of the corner of his eye and keeping an eye on his surroundings.

Now that he had said everything, if he had other intentions, there was no need to hide them.

But to his surprise, the man kept his promise, declaring firmly: “Alright! The corpse is yours.”

Having said that, he turned around as if he intended to leave, and added: “If you have any more information about the Old Days Sect in the future, try to bypass the Golden Oak Security Company. You can go to the Train Tavern and find the bartender, say that ‘Old Bible’ sent you. I’ll pay for information.”

Just like this time.

Upon hearing this, Leonard replied: “Alright!”

As soon as his words fell, the three shadows actually turned around and vanished.

Leonard watched them, slightly taken aback.

Although the three men casually brought out a third tier relics and were clearly very rich, they seemed to come from the Rich Ore Layer.

But did they really just take a look and leave?

The three of them left on their way back.

As they walked, Reuel Bible couldn’t help but express his admiration: “Heh heh, I initially thought he was at least a first tier Card Master, but it turns out he’s just an apprentice. It’s really impressive. A Card Master Apprentice actually forced the ‘Plague Doctor’ Hensen to such a state. If it had not been for almost running out of means, he could actually kill a second tier..
