Location- Sky Blossom City, South Zone Helen’s Homemade Bread
“That is a possibility but I do not think so. The origin of Unknown visitors doesn’t matter for now. But their target is Wyatt for sure. If not for me being next to Wyatt. I would not have been able to sense them.
Old man, how come the city array once again failed to alert us. Didn’t you fix it? ” Anna did not know much about the unknown visitors but she knew their target was Wyatt. Which was enough for her to flame onto Valkyrie mode.
“No, not yet I did not have time to attend to that matter since I was busy entertaining these two.” Old Man Lorenzo responded with a negative reply.
“So, you are blaming me for asking you to do your job. Wow old man it’s your first day and you are already showing signs of the negligence of duty and rebellion. If I leave it here it will only grow so I will be cutting your first year’s salary as punishment.” Anna did not think twice before pushing the blame on the old man and punishing him ruthlessly.
“No, you can’t do that? I have a granddaughter back home to spoil, not to mention numerous research and experiments to fund. If you do not pay me, how will I take care of my granddaughter?” Lorenzo made his priority clear that his granddaughter came before his work.
“That bitch is already 78 years old and a card emperor. She can take care of herself. And I could care less even if she had to sell body at the brothel to make a living. How dare she call me a slut? Fuq, your punishment was too light. Correction: I will be cutting a decade worth of your salary.” Speaking of her younger cousin Anna got angrier with every sentence she spoke and Vented it on Lorenzo
“Why are you blaming my cute granddaughter? It was you who slept with her finance arranged by the family. Because of you, the decades-old arranged engagement was broken and she became the talk of the town. ” Old man Lorenzo narrated the feud between Anna and His granddaughter.
His granddaughter was too good and well behaved for her own sake. This helped her climb to the Card emperor realm and become a talented Diamond grade Card creationist at a young age. And become the youngest academician at one of the top 10 universities. But this also bound her to sacrifice herself to keep the promise that his drunk son made decades ago to one of his colleagues.
Being bound by the honour of the family name Old man Lorenzo’s hands were tied but he couldn’t sit and watch his precious granddaughter’s life be ruined because of his stupid son and his drunk promise. So he researched every aspect of the man who was supposed to marry his granddaughter and hatched a devious plan to save his granddaughter.
First, he took Anna under the guise of work to a common place where the supposed finance of his granddaughter would periodically visit and so that man caught the eye of Anna. And then Let nature take its course. Anna being Anna, got what she wanted. Giving Old man Lorenzo enough reason to cancel the arranged marriage that his stupid son has set and saving his granddaughter from sure hell.
After that Old man, Lorenzo disowned his stupid Son who dared to play with his granddaughter’s life and sentenced him to Way beyond for a century. But Lorenzo was not without consequences, this devious plan of his cost him Anna’s respect for him as an elder and to date, she hates him for using her to achieve what he wants. Not to mention His Granddaughter and Anna became the gossip of the year. Which brought cracks in Anna and her cousin’s relationship.
“Shut it, old man. If you dare to argue I will extend the salary cut to a century. Old man, just give me a reason.” Anna warned Lorenzo.
“Your highness, I’m sorry to be rude but please can we focus on Wyatt’s safety and the unknown Card emperors.” Vincent reminded Anna of the pressing issue. He knew someone who could escape from Anna, either had a special origin card or was stronger than her. Either way, these new people were too much for him and his nephew to handle, as protecting is harder than killing. It was too late to call support from family but thankfully he had two powerful card emperors like the Southern emperor and Raining Alchemist with overlapping goals.
“Don’t worry about Wyatt’s safety, I have left a mark on the back of his head. If he is in danger I can rush back to him. What worries me the most is the headcount of the enemy? If 2 card emperors came to locate their target then how many of them are there in total. We are outnumbered and adding you two liabilities to our team. It will be difficult and also fun.” A brilliant light shone in Anna’s eyes as though of the upcoming ambush. She acted as if all this was a game to her.
“With all due respect, your highness. I am a lot stronger than I look.” Brandon did not take it well being called a liability. He was card emperor and had his dignity so he voiced out his grievance.
“Bitch, you did not even react when I attacked you earlier. If not for your uncle sacrificing an arm you would be dead and I would have gifted Wyatt with not one but two severed card emperor heads.
And you, yes you. You can regrow your arm as a reward for your good behaviour. And also make sure your nephew doesn’t do something stupid in the fight to come.” Anna’s brutal words hit Brandon harder than any punch he has taken to date. The condescending tone to Anna’s words still rang in his ears. No matter the era every being prefers to be wanted and best to the opposite sex. The same goes for Brandon. Being savagely ridiculed by a beauty like Anna who was known to be generous when it comes to choosing her men was devastating for him. Lord knows if he is ever going to recover from this.
“Thank you, your highness. I will keep an eye on this idiot.” Vincent hurriedly summoned his grimoire and grew back his amputated Arm. He was Fire Fist Emperor, his arms were his weapons. Regrowing the arm Vincent felt like the fish back in the water.
