'Aba and her big mouth. This dumb slut.' I cursed as I heard Aba assure carrying Jackie that her mercenary group had rescued Ronnie and he was fine.
"While you are at it why don't you tell her that Ronnie is in a coma," I said walking to the couch while glaring at
Aba.
"Ronnie is in coma—" before Jackie could finish her dramatic yell she fainted thankfully Aba next to her caught her, saving th baby in her belly.
"Wyatt, how could you say such words thoughtlessly." Susan blamed me and went to check on unconscious Jackie. As for the three from Fine Gold, they were still digesting the fact that they were not directly under their boss but Susan. Diana thought, Susan and she were equals but equals but no she was her immediate superior. How did the CEO of Fine Gold become a lower title than a manager of a small card boutique?
"Wyatt, what do you mean? Before we handed him to your men, the medic in my team checked his condition and said that there is nothing to worry he was unconscious that is all." Aba hurriedly explained, clearly what she meant was when her men had Ronnie in their custody there was nothing wrong with him so we should not blame her mercenary group.
"Well, my people say otherwise, It seems that Butcher Bob's people tried something to extract Ronnie's origin card." I lied, I don't know if stealing someone's origin card was possible for other people but considering that a blood rule meaning like blood fate plunder existed then there should be other rule meanings which can achieve the same through a different method. I made up such a lie because I planned to go ahead with what I had planned earlier for Ronnie even if the wolf fang mercenary claimed that Ronnie was fine in their custody. Some would crippling Ronnie for Life was going too far but I did give him a lot of chances, he screwed up each one of them since I saved his life not once but twice despite all the betrayal, I owned his fucking life, he is lucky I am keeping him alive, they should thank his unborn baby for that.
"That is not possible, I checked the data prepared by the medic on Mr. Ronnie's health it showed no signs of injuries, not to mention the outlandish nonsenses you just spouted. How is it possible that Ronnie entered a coma?" said Agatha, she was blaming my men for any complication in Ronnie's health.
"Miss Agatha, I am not trying to point blame, I am just stating what I learned through my men." Seeing Ada and Agatha get so defensive I had to set back.
"Extracting someone's origin card is impossible even for a demigod, master Wyatt. So whoever fed you with these lies, you should enquire him again." Agatha suggested to me.
"Is that so, but I trust my men. They wouldn't tell me something if they weren't sure about it?" I stood my stance.
"Fine, believe what you will. Master Wyatt, when are your men going to arrive in the city I would like to check on Mr. Ronnie's condition." Said Agatha.
"Soon, they will bring him to the warehouse. So you can check on him then." hearing Agatha be so adamant about Aba's health, I knew I couldn't go through with my plans earlier.
"Fine," said Agatha as she returned to the couch.
"Susan, where is Anna?" I ignored Agatha and looked for Anna, not being able to find her I asked Susan.
"She left," Susan answered sitting next to unconscious Jackie.
"What she left?" I clearly said that I was returning to the warehouse yet Anna left, why did she leave? what does this mean? Is she trying to avoid me?
"She said something urgent came up and had to leave," Susan added.
"..." Anna has revealed many secrets to me so I don't think she would avoid me just because she didn't want to answer me if the sex workers were Royal families and Government informants. It must be something important. I decided to give Anna the benefit of the doubt.
"What about these two? why are they here, shouldn't she take her hostages with her?" I asked Susan pointing at Aba and Agatha.
"Southern emperor has marked us with her card and warned us not to leave the vicinity of the warehouse," Aba answered.
"And you believed her?" I said and added, "Why are you two still here? Shouldn't you take this opportunity to run back home?"
"She said if we try to run then our ransome will be doubled," Aba replied.
"Is that all took Anna to fright you two? Why don't think of it like this, if you successfully escape you won't have to pay a penny." I wanted Aba and Agatha out of the city, if they are not here then I can continue with my plans for Ronnie.
"Princess don't listen to him. It is better if we follow the Southern emperor's arrangement." hearing my advice to Aba, Agatha advised her otherwise.
"..." hearing the argument from both sides, Aba got to thinking.
Seeing Aba consider escaping, I decided to add fuel to fire, "Agatha aren't you a card emperor? Why are you afraid of Anna? Even if she is strong aren't you confident enough to escape carrying Aba?"
Hearing my words Aba looked at Agatha with expectation. To which Agatha answered coldly, "Correction, I am a semi-demigod, not a card emperor. And yes I am not confident that I can escape the Southern emperor's pursuit. So, princess please just wait patiently until his highness Demigod Windsor pays the Southern emperor the agreed-upon ransom."
Then Agatha glared at me and looking at still contemplating Aba she added, "Princess, please remember he is on the Southern emperor's side, maybe he is trying to get us to escape to double the ransom."
