“Goodbye Captain, hope you met your beloved in hell. Maybe she will recount her final moments to you.” Ending his maniacal laugh, the black-cloaked man slowly walked next to Ben as he summoned a red reaper, planning to end Ben’s life.
*Clap**Clap*
The sound of the claps startled Ted and the black-cloaked man, the thought of someone catching them while doing their dirty laundry frightened them.
“Who goes there?” Yelled the black-cloaked man turning to search for the source of the Clap. While Ted hurried to take care of Ben as he did not want any interruption becoming the saving grace of Ben’s life.
Just as Ted was activating his card he felt cold air on the back of his head so he had to dodge instead of killing Ben. Having dodged he turned to look at his assailant under the night sky he could hardly recognise his attacker but soon as the cloud cleared the moonlight lit on the cemetery allowed him to finally see the face of his assailant. Ted recognised the assailant, it was one of the famous figures of the City, the guild master of Tyrant guild, Van George.
“Van, this does not concern you. For your sake just act as if you saw nothing.” Ted had witnessed Van George and his prowess personally, so he knew that both he and his black-cloaked friend who just recently broken through to Card Lord realm together are not the match of Van who may have already stepped into the middle Card Lord realm.
“This man concerns my master so this concerns me.” Van replied emotionlessly.
“Do you think your master can bear the wrath of the City Lord? Think twice before you act.” Ted understood that where strength did not work he had to use his smarts to turn the circumstance in his favour
“City Lord, let him come. Let me see if he dares to touch a single hair on my body.” I arrogantly announced.
Unlike Ted, Black-cloaked man can feel the strength of Van and the hidden Fred thanks to his origin card Infection which helps him gauge a person’s strength by telling him how much time it takes to infect that said person and also informs him the number of people in his surroundings that he can infect. These properties of his origin card allowed the black-cloaked man to determine Van’s strength and the hidden Fred. Therefore he did not speak a word instead he was concocting an escape plan while planning to have Ted buy him time as bait. But seeing me be arrogant he could not help but ask, “Who are you brat, with your realm you dare roam around at night?”
“Viper, don’t touch that kid. Remember the silver milk powder kid, he is him.” Ted hurriedly explained the info he had on me to Viper. Hearing Ted, Viper looked at me with astonished eyes. And finally gave up on involving me in his schemes because he knew even if he escaped harming me he would have no place in this world. Yes, Anna’s mother wanted to kill me but not at the risk of having her daughter face the backlash of a soul contract. So her plans were pretty clear when it came to killing me.
“So it seems the rumours of you being tamed by a kid are true, Van.” Ted tested the water to check who is actually in charge here between Van and me.
“Do you dare belittle my master..” Thundered Van, he wanted to kill Ted for calling his master a kid but since his master had not ordered him his hands were tied.
From Van’s reaction, it became clear to Ted that I held Van’s reins. So he directly addressed me instead of convincing Van, ” Master Wyatt, you see we are on a mission from City Lord. If you let this one go the City hall will owe you one.”
“As if you could represent the City hall, you dumbfuq. It took 2 of you to take care of someone in a lower realm than you and you still have the galls to talk big. Shut the fuq up and stand aside. I will leave when my job here is done. I do not care what your mission is.” I never get to be arrogant these days, so I was going to enjoy it fully when I get the chance.
Hearing my arrogant words while cursing him Ted almost burst out in anger, but thankfully serving an abusive City lord he had gotten used to withstand abuse. Right now he was in a dilemma if he left without completing the task the city lord would punish him for sure but will this brat allow him to leave, from the way the brat spoke Ted was clear that he would not let them off so easily. As Ted was considering his options as he received Vipers call which he answered mentally, “what is it?”
“I have used a lethal poison on Ben, he is as good as dead. So let’s escape before that brat asks for an antidote.” Soon Viper and Ted hatched an escape plan. And Viper intentionally never mentioned the hidden Card Lord to Ted.
Not caring for Ted I turned to Ben who had fallen on the ground and was slowly losing his consciousness, ” Old Man Ben long time no see.”
“Young Wyatt, is that you? what are you doing here?” Ben’s nervous system was slowly shutting down therefore he was barely conscious and he could hardly follow what was going on in his surroundings.
“Why of course I am here to offer you revenge on these douchebags and if you want on the City Lord, but it all depends on your choice. Your life in exchange for Vengeance. What do you say?”
