“Lorenzo, take us back to the Sky Blossom city.” After one-upping her little cousin Anna enthusiastically ordered Lorenzo to teleport us all back to the Sky blossom city.

“I don’t think we’ll find Memirconium ore in a small city like Sky Blossom. How about we head to the royal palace instead. With the resources and workforce over there, things will become easier.” Lorenzo thought that heading back to Sky blossom city was a bad idea. As a small city, it had limited resources, so he thought it would be better if we headed to the Heatsend Royal palace, where access to rare resources and an excellent workforce was readily available.

“No, hell no. I have a business to run. So I need to be in the Sky Blossom city.” I glared at Lorenzo. I see what he was trying to do. I thought he had given up on trying to enslave or imprison me. But I was wrong. This old dude wanted to leave me stranded in the Heatsend Royal family palace.

“Really? With the order of mecha cards that Luna will place at your small card boutique, we will be your only clients for the next two or three months. That’s why I think that you should move to the Royal Palace. By the time you are done with the cards, the top 10 Universities should be starting the new semester, and you can directly enroll in your choice of University.” Lorenzo was right. If Luna does place an order of several rune mecha cards, I would be occupied for the next few months and not be able to take on other customers.

“And how is that any better than hiding me in a basement and slaving me to make cards for you? Dude, what is up with you trying to enslave me every time you get the chance.” Whatever Lorenzo said would somehow end up with me imprisoned and used as a slave.

“Boy, how is it slavery when we are paying you a hefty amount for the cards you make? And also this is for your good. You will be safe in the royal palace, and then you can be directly admitted to one of the top 10 universities. Just be happy you were invited to the royal palace for an extended stay. Brat for the money we are paying you. I expect that you show some respect and some good customer service.” Lorenzo made valid points.

I stood to gain a lot by going to the royal palace rather than staying at Sky Blossom City. My previous prejudice against Lorenzo stopped me from seeing the tremendous opportunity in front of me. I think I have gained everything I can from Sky Blossom City. Stubbornly staying there would only hold back my growth. But I had laid some roots in the Sky blossom city. For which I had to make arrangements. So that when I am gone, these roots do not dry. Yes, I was talking about the TSR guild and my other calamity daughter cores.

Speaking of the TSR guild. I almost forgot about a crucial thing, revenge. Revenge on Kevin Zhang and his gang. I had asked Van to pick runaway Kevin and his subordinates and lock them up in a dungeon. How can I forget such an important event? Even if I decided to stay at the Royal palace helping Luna create the mecha cards, I had to return to Sky Blossom city for my revenge and one last goodbye.

“Wyatt, I know you consider this as an invasion of your privacy, but I think what the old man just proposed is valid. Don’t you think so?” Anna supported Lorenzo’s words, but she did not press on the matter as she did not want to come out too strong.

“Anna, give me a few minutes. I will give you an answer. Susan, let’s talk over there for a movement.” Separating from the group, I spoke my mind with Susan.

“Susan, I am going to tell you something, but please don’t freak out.” For what I was going to say next needed Susan to be prepared.

“What is it? Just say it already. Does it have something to do with Emperor Lorenzo speaking about your safety.” Having heard the conversation between Lorenzo and me, Susan quickly caught on that something was going on that she did not know.

“Yes, a few days ago, I discovered a powder called Silver milk powder which can help mortals cultivate their active soul control… that is how I met Anna… I got the patent and sold the production and supply rights to Anna… The school tournament was held to kill me… 30 card emperors tried to kill me….” Susan did not know about Silver milk powder or the assassination attempt. I purposefully kept her in the dark about these incidents because I did not want her to worry. With her strength knowing all this would be of no help to her or me.

Now I came clean about all this because right now, I was at a crossroads and wanted to know if Susan would follow me on the path I chose, or this marks the end of our journey together. To make this decision, Susan needed to know everything. Mainly because she should know what she would involve herself in by following me on my journey.

“All this happened? No wonder you do not trust them. Did they say that when they thought that the assassin killed you? Fouking psychos.” This is the first time I heard Susan curse.

“You know they can hear you, right?” I admired Susan’s gut for calling a bunch of Card emperors psycho.

“Let them” I was starting to like this new side of Susan.

“Are you not mad at me for keeping you in the dark?” I asked Susan. For some reason, I felt a little nervous when waiting for her answer.

“Yes, but I can understand why you did that. But is that all or are you hiding something else too?” I was grateful to Susan for being so understanding.

“Oh, Apparently I have a big family in the capital city of the central region. It’s a long story. I will tell you about it later.”
