Leo was momentarily stunned by the blue eyes before him.
Next, it was time to test the strength of the Bronze General.
Leo led him out of the small wooden cabin.
“Attack me!” Leo commanded the Bronze General.
The Bronze General’s blue eyes locked onto Leo instantly.
Without a moment’s hesitation, the Bronze General wielded his sword and struck at Leo.
In a flash, Leo barely had time to use the Divine Dragon Sword to block upward.
Clang!
The two swords clashed, sending a numbing pain through Leo’s arm.
With a forceful flick, Leo knocked the Bronze General’s sword aside and swiftly kicked at his abdomen.
Leo’s foot landed on the Bronze General’s abdomen, but it felt like kicking a massive boulder.
The Bronze General remained unmoved.
Not only that, but the Bronze General also raised his sword again, thrusting it towards Leo’s chest.
Leo flipped backward, evading the attack.
At the same time, Leo was delighted; he hadn’t expected the Bronze General to be so powerful right after being unsealed.
“Again, attack me with your full strength!” Leo ordered loudly.
Leo and the Bronze General engaged in a fierce battle, with sword energy swirling around them.
The fight lasted for a full half-hour before Leo called for a stop.
The Bronze General immediately halted, the light of sword intent in his blue eyes fading into calmness.
After half an hour of combat, Leo had a good understanding of the Bronze General’s strength.
In other words, without using Talismans or other skills, Leo could only fight the Bronze General to a draw.
Moreover, the Bronze General never tired and was a growth-type puppet.
As long as he was “fed” with spirit stones, the Bronze General would grow stronger and stronger.
Having this Bronze General was equivalent to having an additional powerful combat force.
If he had the Bronze General two days ago, Elder Redmond and Helena wouldn’t have had any chance to escape from the Seven Stars Sword Sect.
With a wave of his right hand, Leo stored the Bronze General in his Storage Bag.
After today, if the Rossetti family still didn’t come to apologize, Leo planned to take action himself.
In the afternoon, Leo received a call from Madame Godwin, saying she had something to discuss and wanted to meet.
Leo didn’t want to wait around at the Seven Stars Sword Sect for news from the Rossetti family. After giving some brief instructions to the sect’s elder in charge, he drove away.
The meeting place was a Dai cuisine restaurant in the city center.
In a private room at the restaurant, besides Madame Godwin, there was also a woman with long hair and a round face.
This woman was Madame Godwin’s classmate and close friend. Her name was Lily Daniel, and she worked at the City Archives.
After they sat down, Madame Godwin pointed at Leo and said, “Lily Daniel, this is Leo. He can help you with your problem.”
Lily Daniel smiled at Leo. “Mr. Bloomer, hello. I wanted to ask…”
“Wait! Don’t say anything yet,” Madame Godwin interrupted her. “Leo, take a look at Lily Daniel’s face and show us what you can do.”
Since it was a request from a beautiful police officer, how could he refuse? Leo smiled and said, “Miss Daniel, could you please extend your right hand for me to see?”
Curious, Lily Daniel extended her right hand and opened her palm.
Leo extended his index finger and began drawing on Lily Daniel’s palm.
A tingling sensation spread from her palm throughout her body, making her instinctively want to pull her hand back but she managed to hold still.
Leo drew a rune on Lily Daniel’s palm and finally pressed on a point in the middle of her lifeline.
Lily Daniel’s body trembled slightly as if a weak electric current ran through her limbs.
The sensation was quite magical.
“Mr. Bloomer…” Seeing Leo staring at her intently, Lily Daniel felt uneasy.
Leo withdrew his hand and gaze, murmuring, “A broken lifeline and hidden darkness in your fate indicate imminent danger. Miss Daniel, have you been feeling restless and paranoid lately?”
Lily Daniel nodded quickly.
She had never believed in supernatural things, but recently she often heard strange and eerie voices when alone at night or in an empty environment. At first, she thought someone was playing tricks on her until one night she woke up and saw a pale face right in front of her…
Lily Daniel screamed and turned on her bedroom light. There was no face in sight, only the cool night breeze blowing through the window crack.
The constant fear was driving Lily Daniel crazy. She had no choice but to seek help from her police officer friend Madame Godwin.
Thus, Madame Godwin arranged this meeting today.
“Miss Daniel, your physical condition is concerning. If not addressed soon, it might pose a life-threatening risk.”
Hearing Leo speak so seriously, Lily Daniel became frightened. “Mr. Bloomer, what should I do?”
Madame Godwin kicked Leo under the table, signaling him not to scare her friend too much.
“Miss Daniel, have you recently encountered anything unclean or strange? Have you entered any peculiar places?”
Leo retracted his foot and glared at Madame Godwin.
Lily Daniel frowned in thought.
Unclean things? Strange events? Peculiar places?
The only unusual place she could think of recently was that room in the City Archives.
“Mr. Bloomer, I think something unusual happened at my workplace-the City Archives.”
“That day, near closing time as usual, I went into my section of the City Archives to close windows and organize files that had been reviewed by other departments.”
Lily Daniel began recalling as servers brought dishes to their table one after another.
“After tidying up the files and cleaning up the floor trash, I closed all windows and was about to leave.”
“At that moment, I heard a ‘bang’ behind me.”
Lily Daniel showed a fearful expression as she recounted this part.
“The noise startled me. I turned around and saw a file had fallen off the shelf for no apparent reason.”
“I went back in to pick it up and put it back on the shelf. Just as I did so, I felt a cold wind blowing towards me.”
“I knew something was wrong because all windows were closed; how could there be wind blowing from the shelf?”
“After putting away the file properly, I left.”
Lily Daniel hadn’t thought much of it at first but remembered it now after Leo’s reminder.
Could she have picked up something ominous just because of that file?
Lily Daniel found it hard to believe because she had worked at the City Archives for five or six years already. The archives room had been newly renovated and no one had ever died there.
