“Ronnie my dear cousin, how about we visit the Veterinarian.”
“Why Wyatt? As I recall you don’t own a pet?” Ronnie asked cluelessly.
“Yes I don’t own one, but just yesterday I rescued one horny dog which keeps barking in heat all night and is keeping me from getting proper sleep. I am thinking of getting it a permanent fix at the Vet.” I said with a wide smile underneath a dead gaze.
Ronnie shuddered and crossed his legs, Jackie who is hiding next to him gathering enough courage she said, “we are sorry Wyatt! It won’t happen again.” But her courage still was not enough for her to look at me directly. Ronnie hurriedly nodded.
Letting out a grunt at the adulterers I turned to Susan and asked, “What about the Tyrant guild girl, is she awake yet?”
“Nope! There are no visible signs of trauma… I am worried it may be an internal wound so I am thinking of calling an expert.” Susan said worriedly and blamed herself for not call a doctor for help yesterday night.
“Do not blame yourself… that girl’s circumstances are special… we need to be cautious, just make sure the help you call is trustworthy,” I said, it hasn’t been a week since I landed in this world and I am already doing Charity and taking in wounded puppies *sigh*.
“I guess you guys haven’t heard 2/3rd of the Tyrant guild members were massacred along with their allied forces Raven guild and Sun Boar guild yesterday night near the B-rank Blue Blossom lake field dungeon. The tyrant guild leader is missing while the guild leaders of the Raven guild and Sun boar guild have been murdered. If I had to guess that skirmish happened about the time this girl teleported here and she may be the lone survivor and living witness of the massacre apart from the missing Tyrant guild leader.” Narrated Corey, apparently what remains of three guilds are trying to suppress and delay the news till they can scavenge whatever is left before declaring bankruptcy, if not for her grandfather Corey would also not have heard of this news.
Corey’s words went off like a bomb in my mind, ‘A force stronger enough to wipe out three prominent guilds in sky blossom city’ ‘harbouring the lone survivor and witness of the Massacre’, I only thought that maybe the dungeon clearing went sideways and the girl landed here but never in my dream did I think that this girl will be this much trouble.
Now I remembered William asking Susan not to shelter the girl and me cocky telling William to shut it. Fu<k! That old bastard must have known something already… that old fool can’t he be clearer with his words, his hairs have grown white and yet he does not know how to properly use his words. Fu<ker no wonder he told his innocent granddaughter Corey about the massacre of the three allied guilds. Fu<k him! He must be laughing his ass off right about now.
Forget about the old bastard I have to get rid of the girl first before she wakes up, “Susan forget about calling a doctor! Quick call a cab and take her to the nearest police station… let the cops handle the rest. Be sure to clarify our relationship with the girl to the cops I do not want any further troubles.”
“Wyatt! How can you say that! Giving her to the cops will only fasten her demise…” protested Susan.
“And keeping her here will fasten our demise…”
“Wyatt, hold on a moment! Don’t make a decision hastily… this is a person’s life we are talking about.” Intervened Ronnie with his self-righteousness.
“Horny Dogs don’t get a say in this! And children should not Intervene when elders are talking.” I said glaring at Ronnie as an intimidating aura of abyssal giant bear oozed out of me, scaring the shit out of Ronnie.
“Wyatt, please listen to me maybe they don’t know she is still alive for all we know she isn’t even related to the massacre. I can not just watch a person die if I can help.” So Susan’s answer was an absolute no.
Fu<k! Now I remembered why I did not hang around good people… they all have suicidal tendencies. These Fu<kers would forget our end goal during the midway of the mission just to help someone they don’t even know, laying waste to the hard work and sacrifice of all our comrades.
Susan don’t forget our goal to earn and sit on butt loads of money, we are finally going in the right trajectory why are you screwing it all for an unknown girl, we should dispose of that hot potato as soon as possible.
Calming myself I looked at the four of them and seeing that nothing I say will sway their naive self-righteousness I groaned and said, “fine but once she wakes up she will leave right away.”
“Absolutely! I knew you would come around.” Said Susan enthusiastically.
I roll my eyes and head to the shower while ordering a change of clothes at the mall through my grimoire.
[Your Order is being processed, please wait patiently as we deliver your order at the fastest speed. The expected wait time is 14mins]
I guess there are many perks to living in a mall, I get to have my orders delivered right away.
…
“Hey! Susan when did Wyatt become a card apprentice, last I remember his active soul was no way near achieving the card student realm.” Asked Ronnie in curiosity, because he felt that the cousin he met now and knew in his memories were two different people.
This Wyatt scares him if it was Wyatt from his memories he would have congratulated him on successfully pursuing Jackie and pestered him to tell about bedroom secrets between him and Jackie.
Then another thought spiralled in Ronnie’s head, ‘Come to think about it Wyatt also had a crush on Jackie, oh now I get why he is acting like that, he is jealous of me!… I will let it slide and act like I did not notice his envy and jealousy after all he is my favourite cousin.’ If Wyatt knew what was going inside Ronnie’s head he would shout, ‘forget the Vet! I will just stomp it to meat patty myself and save me some money.’
“Well… Wyatt became a card apprentice five days ago on 18th Mar.” Recalled Susan.
“No wonder he did not inform me about it, here I thought Wyatt had become cocky after becoming a silver grimoire holder and forgotten to inform his only cousin!” Ronnie was depressed with Wyatt not telling him about becoming a card apprentice and contracting a silver grimoire when Jackie informed him that Wyatt had contracted a Silver grimoire over a call a few days ago, if not for him hiding at that time he would have run to Wyatt to give him a piece of his mind.
“What?! Wyatt only became 5 days ago! Then how can he be a professional level silver grade card creationist in such a short time! Other people need more than a week to even get used to manipulating their mental strength in the card creation page of the grimoire! This is unbelievable!” Corey lost it, she has been keeping an eye on Wyatt ever since she knew he is Susan’s only client and was impressed by his achievements in card creation despite his young age, especially the Elliott account which made a gross profit of 15 soul jades and a weird monster egg. Though she did not know the exact value of these two things, seeing Susan’s reaction she knew they were worth more than $1billion.
“You are asking me! Who should I ask? Ever since I met Wyatt for the first time and saw him at his prime I had this magical feeling that he was different and worthy of my trust. Since then I tied my boat to his and never looked back and within 5 days I made more than 10 times the wealth I accumulated in my whole life.” Yes, Susan had the best week of her life these past few days after meeting Wyatt. First, she contracted a Grimoire, then she got a dependable Origin card, 10 F-rank battle armour card, her promotion to associate auction manager and made nearly millions being Wyatt’s unofficial exclusive sales representative.
“What about Wyatt being a silver grade card creationist can you guys fill me in?” Asked Ronnie.
Looking at Ronnie’s eager and curious eye Susan and Corey hesitated at first but then they remembered Wyatt saying he does not care about hiding his identity so Susan narrated everything Wyatt did in the past five days, especially her Origin card sentient liquid armour with the ability to mimic any armour sacrificed to it.
Ronnie and Jackie were also stunned to hear Wyatt’s achievements but to Corey and Susan’s surprise Ronnie and Jackie nodded in understanding as Ronnie explained,
“My Cousin has been a card nerd ever since I have known him. First, his interest was mostly because uncle and aunt both were card creationists but then both uncle and aunt would often tutor Wyatt about all the basics of card creation. Sparking a Card creation nerd inside him since then all he could talk about was cards. It not surprising that he can create cards within a few hours of contracting a grimoire after all he was being taught to create cards since his childhood. But seeing how he is a silver grade card creationist already it seems he has a talent for it.”
At first, Jackie was also surprised to see the snort nosed brat who would often follow her around had grown into a fine young and capable man but thinking that she fell in love with one of those boys she was no longer surprised.
Corey and Susan rolled their eyes at Ronnie’s explanation because if one could become a remarkable silver grade card creation just after contracting grimoire because he/she learnt card theory since childhood then there would no shortage of capable card creationists in this world.
