“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
being next to Wyatt. I would not have been able to sense them.
Old man, how co 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 fla onto Valkyrie mode.
“No, not yet I did not have ti to attend to that matter since I was busy entertaining these two.” Old Man Lorenzo responded with a negative reply.
“So, you are blaming
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 punishnt.” Anna did not think twice before pushing the bla on the old man and punishing him ruthlessly.
“No, you can’t do that? I have a granddaughter back ho to spoil, not to ntion nurous research and experints to fund. If you do not pay , how will I take care of my granddaughter?” Lorenzo made his priority clear that his granddaughter ca 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
a slut? Fuq, your punishnt 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 engagent was broken and she beca 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 beco a talented Diamond grade Card creationist at a young age. And beco 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 na 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 ntion His Granddaughter and Anna beca 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
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 soone 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
the most is the headcount of the enemy? If 2 card emperors ca 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 ga 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 sothing stupid in the fight to co.” 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 sa goes for Brandon. Being savagely ridiculed by a beauty like Anna who was known to be generous when it cos to choosing her n 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.
