Chapter 812: Chapter 258: He Suppressed Two Eras, After All (Thanks to the Alliance Leader ‘Nine-tiered Pagoda’)
Leonard Churchill stood quietly by the windowsill,
falling into a state of indescribable enlightenment.
He was unaware of the invisible aura slowly surrounding his body.
It felt as if a long, long time had passed,
yet it seemed just a brief moment.
As the thought struck him, Leonard put down the letter he was holding, and then took out the one with the “Super Spacetime Postage Stamp” attached.
The Stamp had faded, void of any luster.
Leonard knew it was the Stamp’s “Power of Time” that had allowed him to travel through time, now fully depleted.
After a long look, he sighed softly.
It was all gone.
He had no idea how many years it would take for the Stamp to regenerate.
Leonard stood up from the chair and carefully collected the hundreds of letters.
There was another box under the bookshelf, left to him by Vera Williams.
Leonard opened it to peek inside.
There was a “Sealed Secret Box” and a ring.
The Secret Box was the relic left behind by the ancestors of the White Family from the Mithril Ore mines near Bolton Town.
Bound by a covenant, it couldn’t be used by others.
The ring was the “God Stealer Ring” that Leonard had failed to take with him a hundred years ago.
Vera Williams had kept both items safely all this time.
Now, they were finally returned to Leonard.
“Ah...”
Looking at the two items, Leonard let out another long sigh.@@@@
These two items carried the memories of his adventures with that foolish girl.
The items were still the same.
But she was no longer there.
The Royal Dance Troupe’s classic stage drama had just begun.
The buzz was not limited to the spectators watching the play.
There were also those who were truly there to “watch the show.”
While Leonard was reading those letters in his room, completely unaware, all of Sinless City was actually seething with undercurrents.
And as the eye of the storm, Flood Gang, below its lively façade, the fuse on the powder keg had already been lit.
Inside a private room on the fourth floor of the Flood Gang,
several mysterious figures were tinkering with an array.
To any outsider there, seeing the “Immortal Aegis Animals” illusions floating behind them, it was immediately clear they were people of the White Family, the God Stealers.
The array was wreathed in blue smoke, forming the illusion of a Fox.
Suddenly, the Fox opened its eyes.
The leading White Family elder smiled with excitement.
“It’s confirmed that person passed away, let’s move!”
“Those fools are still preoccupied with who will take over the Song Family... little do they know that securing the corpse of that old man will mean the Song Family’s power will be ours.”
“Ensure the success of this mission! Whoever stands in our way, show no mercy!”
“Yes.”
“...”
With that, the figures vanished from the room in an instant.
....
And the White Family were not the only ones keeping an eye on Flood Gang.
In various private rooms and performance halls... the powers from the Federation that could be called top-tier clans all had personal representatives present.
Right now, on the second floor at the betting area,
a sophisticated middle-aged gentleman was watching an intense boxing match from the luxury of a private room,
Unknown to common people, but not unfamiliar to political circles,
was none other than Robert Morton, current Family Head of the Morton Family, one of the five Senators of the Federation!
One among the very few standing at the pinnacle of power in the Federation.
At that moment, a young man rushed in.
Excitedly, he said, “Father, intelligence has come in, it looks like Senator Kean is about to make a move!”
