“Wyatt when did you switch your profession from card creationist to a calumniator.” William was annoyed by my blatant slander and extortion. Even Nick, Tom and Ed were angry but they could not voice their dissatisfaction as they swore their loyalty to me. But the Ignorant one still chose to voice out his discomfort.

“But Master Wyatt, Earlier you demanded 4000 soul jades as compensation.” This time neither Nick nor Tom came to defend Eb’s action because they knew this would only raise dissatisfaction of their new master towards all three of them.

“Earlier I did not adopt three dogs but now I did. Do you know how much it costs to raise three dogs?” The sudden change in the three brothers’ status was hard for them to adapt to, especially since their new master just called them dogs. Still, they tried their best not to break down as their patriarch was still present through a call.

“Fine brat you win, I will compensate the amount just go easy on them. I am near your warehouse, when will you be arriving?” William switched the topic. He was young once, he could not imagine what the three brothers must be going through being humiliated in front of the patriarch whom they respected and admired, who just abandoned them. But they had to endure it for themselves and their family.

Turning off the speakers I continued the call mentally as I headed to the school gate. And the three brothers followed me their new master.

“I just signed the liability waiver, I will be returning soon. Say, William, what if I die in tomorrow’s tournament. Won’t all your plans be for nothing?”This question was bugging me. What promoted William into thinking that I would survive tomorrow’s tournament. Because he was almost bending over backwards for someone who the whole city wants to kill in tomorrows tournament.

“Kid, others may underestimate you but I see you in a different light to be able to trick a Card Emperor and subdue a religious nut like Van George you are not a normal high school student. You do not know how many times I have tried and failed to subdue Van, he is a devoted follower of DemiG.o.d Redfall. You subdue him is more than enough for me to bet on despite the odds.” Explained William, only he knew the trouble he went through trying to subdue Van. Despite the fall of the DemiG.o.d Redfall Van continued to be his devoted follower no matter the odds saying he still had to fulfil his lord’s final command.

“Don’t give me too much credit the fated encounter did the trick. By the way, how did the southern watch find out I was the shadow leader behind the TSR guild. Though did not try to hide it our hierarchy was not obvious.” There were many questions to which I failed to get answers from my conversation with Andrea.

“Isn’t it obvious? they have access to the higher level and mysterious cards, compared to those cards the false relics can be considered low-level cards. Don’t worry too much about the forces behind Emperor Anna, they are just trying to groom you.

Not just them many organisations currently want you not because of the silver milk powder but the brain behind the discovery which the best minds of the world could not discover despite a large number of resources and advanced knowledge exclusive to them.

Right now you are too precious to be killed or enslaved. The top 10 colleges are literally fighting each other to get to join their college. If not for Emperor Anna’s forces keeping them at bay they would have already arrived to bribe you into joining their college.

Also, Thanks to you this year the top 10 colleges will be recruiting more talents from the Southern region.” William patiently explained what he has gathered thus far. And his version was more positive than the version I heard from Andrea, who made it seem like the world is after me. But I also saw that William also did not seem to know a lot especially the forces behind Anna, if he knew that behind her stood 3 demiG.o.ds and a soon to be demiG.o.d. I do not know what his response will be.

“Now that you brought it up, are the top 10 colleges as good as advertised. And what is their relation with false relic?” I have long been wanting to ask him about this.

“Better! I think you already know about false relics so I will skip explaining them. As sadly I cannot provide you with more info about them because I do not have any. But if you want to learn more about false relics and other types of high-level cards the top 10 university is the only place you can find them. All the current humanities knowledge, discovery and achievements are stored there. If I was given a chance I would willingly enter any one of the top 10 universities as a student.” William expressed his regret. Making it clear that I had to attend the top 10 universities if I wanted to reach the top of this world both in terms of academics and strength.

“We continue the take when I reach there, I am hanging up now.” Reaching the school main gate I hung up the call. Then I turned to face the three brothers following and said, “Come to the a.s.sociation guild mall Warehouse no.234.”

Without waiting for their answer I exited the school gate, summoning my hoverbike I headed to the warehouse. I wanted to disband the Bright Lions delinquent gang after defeating the three founders of the delinquent gang but now doing that would be pointless as soon everything the three Bright brothers ever owned including themselves will belong to me not to mention their high school delinquent gang. I can have them grow and continue the gang and later the gang’s graduated members can join the TSR guild.

…

“Tom, why did you become his follower? Weren’t we supposed to get his forgiveness to redeem ourselves, why fall to this level?” Ed still did not get why Tow and Nick choose to become Wyatt’s followers.

“It was the patriarch’s wish. He wants us to follow and gain Wyatt’s trust.*sigh* if only we had taken the memo we got in the morning seriously we could have avoided this situation.” Answered Tom.

“Screw the patriarch he abandoned us, why sh*slap*…” Before Ed could bad mouth their patriarch more Nick slapped him hard. And said, “Shut up! if you do not understand the gravity of the situation we are in then you better don’t speak. In a way patriarch saved us. I do not know what Wyatt did for the Patriarch to treat him like an equal but this makes it clear. If we achieve the new task given to us by the patriarch we stand to gain more than we lose. Tom contact the 3rd great elder and inform him about the new development and ask him how we should proceed. Ed book a cab to a.s.sociation guild mall Warehouse no.234.”
