"Help, somehow I doubt that," Karl replied no longer being polite with his words.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Sansa asked coyly.

"You know what I mean," Karl said finally deciding to retreat from the Sun blossom city. As for their unfulfilled interest in the Blossom district, they could always regroup once the boy had left to pursue higher studies.

"You try to help somebody and get paid with suspicion instead of grat.i.tude. Man, what has this world come to?" Sansa complained.

"I have decided to retreat. Now that you got your update If nothing else, I am hanging up," Karl said impatiently thinking that Sansa was trying to buy time with her nonsense for something she was hatching.

"Fine," Saying that Sansa hung up on Karl not wanting to give him the satisfaction of hanging up on her. Then she immediately contacted Gray Fur,

"Matron, what are your orders?" Gray Fur immediately picked up the call and answered even though he was devastated earlier after learning that the difference in treatment between a veteran and a talent of the organization. But his heart eased a little as he saw the flower thief sweat his clothes wet being warned by Matron, he realized despite the difference in the treatment, in the end, they all were nothing more than mere p.a.w.ns to do Matron's bidding.

"Tell me about your escape array is it one-way or two-way?" Sansa immediately asked to modify her contingency plan.

"It is one-way but if we require it, I can have it modified into two-way within a few minutes," Gray Fur answered feeling the gravity of the situation through Matron's tone.

"Good, do that and share the coordinates with the head office. I am sending in a dozen semi-demiG.o.ds to help you with the objective. Remember to complete the mission even if it costs your life. Because if you come back alive after a failure, I will make sure you wish to have died in trying to complete the mission. Understood?" Sansa threatened Gray fur with the consequence of failure.

"Yes, ma'am. Matron what about the circle will they be making a move soon?" Gary fur could not help but ask as the mission was to kill the boy using the Circle as the scapegoat.

"The Circle has decided to retreat. Therefore I have decided to send the organization's semi-demiG.o.ds," Sansa did not hide the reason for her suddenly deploying over a dozen semi-demiG.o.ds to help with the mission.

Hearing Matron's words Gray fur felt a chill on his back as a dozen semi-demiG.o.ds for the mission which involved s.h.i.+fting the blame onto other organizations it was too high profile. This increased the chances of successful completion of the first object of the mission by a good margin but the chances of completion of the second objective decreased. This could only mean Matron no longer cared about loss ends or she planned to deal with them next after the completion of the mission. Thinking of this Gray fur felt the coldness on his back spread to his entire body. And began to play numerous scenarios in his head based on the information he had so far. And all the roads end in his death, except for one where he follows and executes Matron's orders unconditionally. Soon Gray fur awakened from his contemplation knowing that the best course of action for his survival was to follow Matron's orders unconditionally. So deciding to show his loyalty he said, "Matron, what about array formation covering the southern region? The boy's ability is barely s.h.i.+elding the four of us, I don't think it can bare another dozen of Semi-demiG.o.ds."

"Don't worry, I have other arrangements for that. Just make sure the two-way teleportation array is ready for their arrival," Sansa a.s.sured Gray fur that she had it all under control and hung up to arrange for a dozen semi-demiG.o.ds to help with the mission.

Gray Fur chooses to believe her, considering the numerous talents in the organization there was bound to be someone with the capabilities to help cheat the array formation covering the southern region. Then turning to his team members Gray fur announced, "The Circle is planning to retreat. So the original plan is a no-go. But thankfully Matron is sending in a dozen semi-demiG.o.ds to help us with our mission. So we have to turn the escape array's into two-way teleportation arrays."

"A dozen? Doesn't it sound a bit overkill," one of the card emperors could not help but say.

"Overkill, that is how I prefer it," Sniper said enthusiastically. While the others nodded because even if it were overkill it lessens the risk in the mission guaranteeing their safety.

"It doesn't matter, they are Matron's orders we are following them to the dot, now you two get to modifying the teleportation array formation asap as if your lives depend on it. And then send the coordinates to the head office," Gray Fur ordered the other two card emperors of the team who were mostly in charge of arranging the teleportation array for their escape. And then with a grim tone, he added, "I was not kidding when I said that your life depends on it."

The card emperors heading to the one-way escape teleportation arrays they had arranged earlier could not help but pause in their tracks hearing Gray fur. They have been working with Gray fur for quite a while now and know he was not an alarmist. So, if the Gray fur said that their lives depended on this they believed him unconditionally and hurried in their tracks towards the teleportation arrays.

As the two card emperors began to modify the teleportation array into a two-way teleportation array, Gray fur returned to witness the battle between the Circle's branch leader and the boy. He did not know why Matron gave so much importance to killing this boy, but he knew if they were not successful in killing him today, they might as well die trying. So that they can rest in peace in the afterlife otherwise, Matron will make sure that neither of them will find peace ever again.
