Time- 18:21
Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no.234
“Cortney, don’t worry. She will be okay. I bet right now she is busy chugging the monster’s blood that Van must have brought to her dungeon by now.” I consoled Cortney seeing that she was physically present here, but mentally, her mind was preoccupied with worries about Bloodette.
“I hope so,” Cortney replied meekly. I guess seeing Bloodette skewered and being dragged into the dungeon similar to a beast into its cage was too much for her.
“…” Nothing I said seemed to bring up Cortney’s spirit, so I let go and walked into the Warehouse.
“Wyatt, you are here.” Not Susan, not Anna, but Luna greeted me. The other two looked at her with surprise, thinking, when did Luna get so close to me?
“…” I nodded at Luna and headed in, and Cortney followed behind.
“When did you two get so close enough to exchange greetings?” Anna asked her Cousin suspiciously.
“Can’t acquaintances greet each other? Anyway, I am glad that he finally decided to show up. The memirconium ore has been waiting to be analyzed by him.” Hearing Luna, I finally understood why she greeted me so enthusiastically.
“Wait for a moment. I can understand why Your mother has an ego gem. After all, she has future sight, but what about you, little girl? When did you forge an ego gem?” Anna interrupted Luna and questioned, sensing an ego gem in Cortney’s body.
Anna had sensed the Calamity daughter gem disguised as an ego gem in the Clown mask long ago. But she did not think much of it because the Clown mask from the alternate future must have forged her ego gem. Having forged an ego gem once in an alternate future, it would not be hard for Clown mask to forge an ego gem for the second time. But sensing the ego gem in Cortney’s body, Anna was astonished because Cortney was a card soldier and had already forged an ego gem.
“I forged it a few hours ago,” Cortney answered without thinking.
“What?” Anna and Luna exclaimed in astonishment.
“Did your mother teach you how to forge an ego gem?” Anna thought maybe the Clown mask must have taught her daughter the basics of Ego Gem forging to her daughter at an earlier stage.
“No, Wyatt taught me to forge an ego gem in the evening,” Cortney replied truthfully.
“…” Anna and Luna turned to me for an explanation.
“Yes, I did teach her to forge an ego gem a few hours ago. All I can say is that she is a natural. Not only did she manage to forge an ego gem within a record time, but her ego gem has an affinity to blood rule and has an innate blood rune.” I gave a summary of Cortney’s achievements to Anna and Luna. And turning to Susan, who did not know what I was talking about, I said, “Cortney has achieved something remarkable. When you are of Card soldier realm, I will teach you too.”
“…” Susan nodded in understanding, with the corners of her mouth turning upwards.
“WTF! Stop flirting and give the details.” Luna yelled. She, like Anna, also forged her ego gem in the Card master realm.
“What? Who is flirting? Dr. Luna, watch your mouth. I am an honorable boss. I would never flirt with my employees.” I defend my character.
“Yes, you were.” Corey supported Luna’s claim and, turning to Susan, she said, ” Big sis, you do not need to be afraid and tolerate this pervert’s workplace harassment. You are in the presence of the southern emperor. She will get justice for you.”
“Corey, stop it.” Susan’s face was redder than a tomato out of embarrassment. And Corey’s words were only adding to her embarrassment.
“Manager Susan, are the Bright family girl’s words true? Is your boss guilty of such a heinous crime?” Anna voluntarily participated in Corey’s shenanigans and questioned Susan putting a majestic front.
“…” Susan was speechless out of embarrassment. She could handle Corey, but how was she supposed to deal with the shameless southern emperor?
“Isn’t this pot calling the kettle black? You are the biggest pervert in the room. How can you be the judge?” I said, gazing at Anna for flaming Corey’s fire.
“Uh-Huh, so you accept that you are a pervert. Your highest, the culprit has admitted that he is a pervert. Please pass your judgment on him.” Corey quickly caught on to the oversight in my words and asked Anna to judge my crimes.
“Bright family girl, by that logic, doesn’t it mean you are admitting me as a pervert too.” Anna’s mouth with anger hearing Corey’s logic.
Pot and kettle are both black, so when a pot calls the kettle black, it means that ‘someone with a particular fault accuses someone else of having the same fault.’
So if I use that Idom to point out that Anna was the pervert, that means that I am admitting that I, too, am a pervert.
Which is what Corey pointed out to Anna. But by this logic, if I were to be considered a pervert, then it meant she also considered Anna as a pervert.
Seeing the nerve of Corey to act smart-mouthed in front of her, Anna was enraged and decided to teach Corey a lesson.
“Will you guys stop it with your gibberish? We have other important things to discuss here compared to Anna’s loose morals.” Luna interrupted before Anna could reign her terror on Corey for indirectly calling her a female pervert.
“Look who’s talking, prude. Tsk” Anna clicked her tongue at her cousin in annoyance.
” I am not a prude! Unlike you, who would just give it to anybody. I haven’t found the right person yet.” Luna defended herself and did not let go of the chances to dig at Anna and her easy lifestyle.
“Said the 80-year-old virgin.” How could Anna let Luna be after what she had just said.
