Chapter 144: Dancing in Water


    Trantor: 549690339


    In the apartment at No. 233 Maple Street.


    Leonard Churchill and his “cousin,” Sophia, sat at the same table, leisurely eating breakfast and reading today’s newspaper.


    “Young Master Kak, likes to snatch others’ preferences, particrly married women. So, officially, I am your cousin, but in private, I am your lover. When the timees, just give him some hints to bait him.”


    “Hmm.”


    “How’s the situation at the X Bureau?”


    “Only one person knows my real identity. I have a lot of autonomy, and I can easily make up an excuse when the timees.”


    “Hmm, be careful not to expose yourself. If you do, in order to protect the secrets of the church, I might have to kill you.”


    As she spoke, Leonard cast a sidelong nce at the incredibly beautiful girl. He was amazed.


    Just now, he’d watched as the Silver Moon Leader transformed into this beautiful girl, without an apparent change of skin.


    And it wasn’t just the appearance; the skin color, pupils, and body dimensions were allpletely different.


    He was also beginning to understand the meaning of the term “Thousand Faces of the Moon” from the hymn.


    No wonder Reuel Bible and his team could not capture her.


    It wasn’t just her appearance; the Silver Moon Leader’s strength was also elusive.


    Reuel Bible was a formidable yer. Though Leonard couldn’t reach his level, he could sense this towering figure clearly.


    But this woman was like a cloud constantly drifting in the sky, impossible to trulyprehend.


    At her side, the two maids dropped their disguises.


    They wore the transparent gauze clothes of the Taren Dynasty period, serving the girl named Sophia with reverence.


    This gave Leonard a very eerie feeling.


    It felt like the scene from the painting “Montini Queen’s Golden Ne” had been reproduced.


    This woman seemed like the queen Montini who had walked out from history.


    Leonard guessed there was some kind of “god-incarnate ceremony”.


    It seemed she was ying a role.


    The more she yed, the more she became simr to a being, and also stronger.


    Leonard also suspected the Silver Moon Church was directly rted to the copse of the Taren Dynasty.


    As Reuel Bible had said, she had be a force to be reckoned with.


    Being undercover around her was thrilling.


    The constant sensation of treading on thin ice kept Leonard in a state of excitement, his thoughts bing more lucid.


    But speaking of advantages, they were also obvious.


    Observing the ‘Void Moon Mind’ was quite efficient.


    This secret skill indeed had a surprising effect on suppressing mental deformations.


    After observing it for a night, Leonard had clearly felt the sluggishness in his mind easing.


    This skill made it seem as if the mental power had been shaped into a moon, with the main consciousness being the moon and numerous diverse thoughts being moonlight.


    The moonlight, no matter how far it illuminates, did not cause any worry of uncontroble deformations.


    Moreover, his mental power was increasing rapidly at several times the previous rate.


    This greatly improved Leonard’s control over the flying knife.


    However, one drawback was.


    The grade of this secret skill was too high.


    At his current tier, he could only understand the basics.


    At this pace, Leonard suspected it would take him years of observation to fully grasp the secret skill in the moon.


    There was no guarantee the ancient god would not find out about this unfaithful follower.


    He was also contemting how to take away the Disaster Object “X-712- Moon”.


    But it was impossible.


    Moreover, he had a feeling that the Silver Moon Leader surely had a backup n.


    The Silver Moon Leader was aloof.


    Even though they were in the same apartment, they hardly chatted unless church business was involved.


    Leonard was happy with this arrangement.


    Although he was interested in this mysterious ancient god cult, he didn’t dare to explore more for fear of exposing weaknesses.


    He spent the entire day in the apartment, contemting the moon.


    In the evening, Leonard and Sophia dressed up splendidly and took a steam car to the Lionheart family’s mansion for dinner.


    The Lionheart family had stationed fifty-thousand Beast Elites in the Upper City of Sinless City.


    They were undoubtedly the most powerful force in the city.


    Even though their mansion was not situated as high as the lord Miller’s house, it was just as grand.


    Located in West City, a massive white manor stood, this was the Lionheart family’s “Rose Manor”.


    “Creak-”


    The steam car stopped at the entrance of the manor.


    The butler bowed and opened the door: “Baron Charles, please alight.”


    Leonard got off the car first, then gentlemanly extended his hand to help Sophia, dressed in a blue low-cut princess short dress, down.


    Having already adapted to the social activities of the upper circles in the past few days, Leonard was able to greet various nobles as smoothly as if he were an insider.


    He handed over the invitation and smoothly entered the manor.


    As soon as she got out of the car, Sophia, who had been an aloof queen beforehand, became a lively and mischievous young girl who seemed to be interested in everything.


    Leonard was also amazed at her acting skills.


    The two of them knew that many experts were watching everyone’s movements.


    One of them included Reuel Bible.


    The X Bureau containment expert, disguised as a guard, mumbled as he looked at Leonard and Sophia who had just entered: “This kid is a master of disguise…”


    If ‘Baron Charles’ identity wasn’t personally verified by him, he would have thought he was mistaking someone else.


    The handsome young man in the white suit, that aura of nonchnce blended with aristocratic air, couldn’t be replicated unless he was a genuine nobleman.
