He is also Catherine Carter’s cousin.
Kak walked over, laughing, “Well, isn’t this my cousin Carter? Why are you drinking alone here?”
The Lionheart Family has always encouraged the strong to lead. Although the Main Branch and the second branch have the same bloodline, they are also in competition with each other.
Catherine gave him a glance, a slight smile on her red lips, politely acknowledging his presence.
Coming to her side, Kak added, “Oh- I heard that our lovely Miss Carter has been moping around recently. Did something unpleasant happen?” The Sinless City is now being set up by the entire family, first come, first served.
Catherine didn’t feel that she could entirely hide her previous actions from her family.
She caught the ridicule in this guy’s tone, yet she calmly responded, “I met a stronger opponent. It’s fair to lose in a gamble.”
Excellence has always been the target of envy.
Having always been known as the intelligent beauty since her childhood, she was known as ‘Silver Mist Rose’ in the public eye.
But in the eyes of her siblings, she is a strong competitor.
Upon hearing this, Kak didn’t take the gang seriously at all, pretending to be surprised, “You, our first talented lady of Silvermist City, are admitting defeat?
I thought you would have dealt with those street gangs in Sinless City before I arrived…”
Catherine listened indifferently.
In the past, she would have been mortified, wouldn’t she?
But now… she really doesn’t care.
That kind of failure is not a bad thing for her future life.
Kak thought that this proud little princess was upset due to her setback, he found it amusing and added, “Don’t worry. I will take care of those gangs for you.”
At this, Catherine chuckled lightly, as if thinking about something.
She didn’t intend to explain anything to him, but still casually said, “Sinless City is not that simple, don’t be too confident.”
“Really?”
Kak clearly thought she was making excuses for her failure, and scoffed, “They are just a bunch of low-level gangs.”
As a Federation Major with heavy power in his hands, he indeed had the confidence to make such a statement.
Once the Mechanical Legion, a steel wave, is mobilized, it is enough to flatten any force in Sinless City.
They haven’t taken any action yet, simply because the guys in the Federation are playing their own little games and pulling in different directions.
It’s not that they are incapable, but due to political games.
“Hehe.”
Catherine laughed disdainfully.
She didn’t want to explain further.
Deeming it uninteresting, Kak grabbed a glass of wine from a passing servant and took a sip. Then he got down to business, testing the waters, “The Miller Family has recently obtained a batch of top-secret documentation from the Old Continent. I heard they found some vital mechanical technology in a relic site and want to showcase it tonight. Does Miss Carter have an interest in this technology?”
“No.”
Catherine shook her head, lazily replying, “I just found it boring staying in the apartment, so I came out for some fresh air.”
Of course, Kak found this hard to believe, but he couldn’ t figure out what she was thinking.
No matter what, he was determined to get his hands on the mechanical drawings that the Miller Family now controlled.
At this moment, the music at the banquet suddenly changed to a dance tune, becoming lively and melodious.
The men and women on the lawn invited their dance partners and laughingly moved into the banquet hall.
Catherine Carter, being of the high-ranking nobility, stood out like an aloof and cold rose among the crowd.
Despite having plenty of eligible young men present at the banquet, not a single one dared to invite her to dance.
However, while the group of young men were engaged in intense inner struggles, a handsome man in a white suit walked over gracefully from the lawn.
Under everyone’s watchful gaze, he showed no fear and very gentlemanly requested, “May I have the honor of dancing with you, the beautiful Miss Carter?”
Catherine didn’t want to discuss those boring topics with her cousin, so she smiled sweetly and happily agreed, “Of course.”
With that, she picked up her skirt and gracefully descended the staircase.
The spectators were taken aback by this scene.
The young Lord Miller had not been dead for long, and no one expected that the suspected killer, with a city-wide bounty on his head, was in the Lord’s Manor at this very moment.
Although Leonard Churchill disliked wasting time on useless social activities, his experience as a jester helped him master the art of understanding the human heart.
Having stayed at the high society evening event in Sinless City for a short time, he soon became familiar with people around.
He was very clear that he needed to be bold enough to catch the attention of the Silver Moon Sect.
He also needed to be valuable enough so those lurking in the dark would see his worth and try to win him over.
Leonard Churchill felt that mingling in some low-ranking noble circles would obviously not achieve the goal.
Looking around the banquet, he noticed.
The most powerful people in Sinless City right now were the Miller Family and the Lionheart Family.
And as it happened, he recognized someone in the crowd.
Wasn’t that Miss Catherine Carter from the Flood Gang’s casino last time?
Around them, there were probably very few who were more noble than this young lady.
If he wanted to stand out and make a big impression, it seemed nothing could be more fitting.
With that in mind, Leonard Churchill walked straight over.
As for the slight chance of being recognized?
He didn’t care at all.
Instead, betting on that small uncertainty, he felt, was where the fun of life lies.
At any other time, Leonard Churchill wouldn’t have been sure if Miss Catherine Carter would accept a dance invitation from a fallen nobleman.
But just now, he caught a glimpse of the slight frown on Miss Carter’s face, and guessed she was probably also tired of talking with the blonde man beside her.
