Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 748: Chapter 242: Bracing Against the Crazy Waves

Captain Sam led a group of guards and the people from the Rose Chamber of Commerce as they rushed out from Machinery City.

However, the team was too large, and their speed wasn’t very fast.

Vampires’ bodies were much stronger than normal humans, and a Vampire of Card Disciple Tier couldn’t be easily killed unless they were shot in the head. First Tier Vampires were almost exempt from the damage caused by Alchemy Bullets.

Firearms weren’t effective enough; some Cannons barely managed to hold back the Vampires.

But once someone fell behind, they would immediately be surrounded by a large number of monsters, facing certain death.

As they ran, there were people from the Commerce Guild being killed by Vampires along the way, with cries for help resounding in the ears.

Seeing Miss Vera Williams from a distance caused one’s heart to wrench.

Leonard Churchill, on the other hand, was calmly observing the situation.

He had also noticed that the composition of the pursuers was very subtle.

Two Second Tier Vampires were leading more than a dozen First Tier Vampires, and a group of underlings was pursuing them.

Thanks to the advantages in their equipment, Captain Sam and the group of guards were managing to fight back and forth.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The situation looked very tense.

It would instinctively make one feel that it would be a stretch for this group of Vampires to take down the people of the Rose Chamber of Commerce.

It gave a strong psychological push: it seemed that with the help of a Second Tier card master, they might be able to turn the tide and save those people.

This was exactly what Vera Williams was thinking at the moment.

If there was not even a slim chance, she definitely would not take the risk;

but with the current situation, the opportunity was right in front of her.

As one by one they died, Vera Williams was full of anxiety, yet she bore it and did not speak.

Although she hadn’t thought as much as Leonard Churchill did, she also instinctively felt there was something wrong.

Glancing at the people next to her, Leonard Churchill also spoke up, “Miss Williams, Pigeon, I’m going to make a move now. You two be careful and keep running in this direction… outside. There might be a Third Tier among those Vampires. When the fight starts, I can’t guarantee your safety.”

Although he felt these two were ‘fated’ and likely wouldn’t die,

if they got injured, it would be much more troublesome.

At least, fighting while escorting the wounded would be cumbersome for him.

Pigeon, who was standing next to him, clenched the gun nervously. For his age, the scene was indeed terrifying, and without thinking much, he mustered his courage and nodded, “Mhm!”

“Third Tier?”

But Vera Williams heard a huge crisis in his words.

Her expression changed with concern, “But, Mr. Leonard Churchill… isn’t that too dangerous for you? Maybe we should…”

Maybe we should just forget it.

Though she worried about the people of the Commerce Guild, she definitely didn’t want her friend to take risks.

Third Tier was High-Order Card Master territory, with combat power vastly superior to that of Second Tier.

Although she knew Leonard Churchill was very skilled, he didn’t seem like a Third Tier.

When Leonard Churchill mentioned “Third Tier”, it was with a casual tone, and even now, hearing Vera Williams’ concern, he remained indifferent, simply saying, “No problem… I’ve been sitting in the tent for days; I’d like stretch my muscles a bit.”

Fighters need real combat to improve.

Having learned so many martial skills from senior Barre Shepherd, his abilities were just floating on the surface; he was troubled by not having a chance to hone them.

This situation was more than suitable.

Moreover, those Vampires were stirring up some Ancient God sacrifice; Leonard Churchill wouldn’t feel right if he didn’t mess with them a little.

“But…”

Vera Williams still wanted to say something, but then she saw Leonard Churchill slightly curve his mouth upwards, pulling out a handgun and firing at the distant Vampires with a “pop pop.”

…

“Hurry up!”

“Run this way, get out of this Blood Mist first!”

“…”

The people of the Rose Chamber of Commerce didn’t fully understand what was happening; they only knew that a large number of Vampires had appeared inside Machinery City and were killing people like mad.

Then they escaped.

The guards of the Commerce Guild were strong, and they had also rallied some other card masters from inside Machinery City, fighting their way out together.

Although it was risky, there seemed to be hope of escaping from Bolton Town.

Only Captain Sam, the strongest among them, vaguely sensed something.

He was the first to notice the commotion in the City Lord Manor. High-Order Card Masters had joined the fight, so why were those people letting them escape?

This gave him the feeling that they weren’t just escaping but were being driven out…

Even with doubts, Sam didn’t dare to stop running.

Right now, they only had a chance to live if they kept fleeing.

However, as they ran, they suddenly saw someone firing a gun from beyond the mist.

There was only one person, but the firepower seemed to suppress the hundreds of pursuing Vampires!

With every gunshot, a Vampire running wildly would get its head blown off.

This level of marksmanship was not simple.

Sam instantly thought of someone: Could that be him?

Without more thought, the crowd began to stir.

Quite a few people in the Rose Chamber of Commerce had seen Leonard Churchill before, recognizing the “Sharpshooter.”

“Look, the one firing is ‘Sunny’!”

“The Miss is there too!”

“Oh, God… Finally, we found the Miss!”

“It’s the Miss coming to our rescue. Eh… Why are there only three people? We must protect the Miss!”

“…”

When the people from the Rose Chamber of Commerce saw Leonard Churchill, they initially couldn’t help but be angry.

But seeing the unharmed Vera Williams, they began to understand that they might have misunderstood many things.

Though they didn’t know what had transpired, at least their Miss was safe and sound, which meant it couldn’t be as they had thought before, assuming ‘Sunny’ was some murderous kidnapper.

Instead, a few quick-witted people had already started to think that it was probably because she was “missing” that had allowed Vera Williams to remain safe up till now.
