Date- 29 Mar 2321

Time- 14:53

Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild a.s.sociation Mall, Warehouse no. 234.

"..." Hearing me propose what she dreaded, Diana was without words. Before she could think of the apparent advantages of the two choices I presented to her, the thought that I was coming after her life's blood, sweat, and dream, the Fine Gold itself, stopped her from processing the remaining information and understanding what's advantageous to her and what she wanted. In that blind moment, a killing intent emitted from Diana directed towards me. The person after her baby had to die.

"Diana, wake up!" Diana was a hunting dog in training by the Circle and had the appropriate killing intent, but that was nothing compared to me as I had just sacrificed 4300 Ogres in cold blood, compared to the killing intent that I had acc.u.mulated during the blood sacrifice Diana's killing intent appeared to be measly. I bombarded my killing intent with Diana's. The air in the warehouse froze for a second. And the presence of 4300 mad Ogres pressing an enraged murderer could be felt in here.

*Cough* *Cough* Diana started to cough up blood facing the backlash of losing the battle of intent and being suppressed by my killing intent. Whipping the blood in the corner of her mouth Diana stared at me intently. Her stare was filled with a mixture of terror and astonishment. As a hunting dog in training, Diana's killing intent was trained to be a sharp knife enough to kill a mortal with just its presence. So Diana was really astonished to see her intent lose but feeling the menacing presence of her opponent's killing intent, her astonishment turned into an understanding.

"Are you awake now? I know some of my words were harsh but to think that you would try to suppress me with your intent. And to think I believed our relations.h.i.+p was developing, what happened? We had just started addressing each other informally. " Diana's intent stare did not bother me. Instead, it reminded me of a frightened cat at high alert. Ready to pounce at the slightest hint of threat. A backed-up cat looking at its surrounding with a terrified expression, calling it cute, would be going overboard, I guess.

"Harsh? Wyatt, harsh doesn't justify what you just proposed to me. Do you know what the implications of the words you offered are?" Diana thought I was being shameless by summarizing what I tried to do with the word harsh. According to her, the word harsh doesn't cut it. It doesn't even come close to what I had actually proposed. Therefore she could not help but complain in resentment.

Yes, complain. As from the alteration earlier, Diana knew her prowess were of no match to the high school boy in front of her. Therefore, she had no other choice but to complain. Diana found the turn of events funny. She was a Card lord, but she had to tip toe around a Card soldier.

"Diana, clear your head of prejudice and try to think with the admirable brain of yours that I want to invest in. You will understand that compared to losing the major stakes in your company, you will be gaining a lot more. And also, do not worry. Even if I become the major shareholder, I will be a silent partner, and you will still be in charge.

And it is not like I am forcing you to choose the first option. You can always select the second option. I am not stopping you. Go ahead, with this option, you can obtain what you came for." Things were pretty d.a.m.n obvious. The choices were left to Diana, and the choice she would choose would be hers and hers alone. I did not plan on forcing her because when it comes to subjugating someone, forcing them would only lead to strong pushback, which could sometimes result in the subject getting broken, which we do not want. Therefore I let the goat walk to the butcher block. This did not mean that I would not try to influence her decision.

"Well, then I chose__" Before Diana could state the complete sentence, I interrupted her. Diana was not thinking realistically. She was fueled with emotions for her company and blinded to the best choice for the company's growth. Therefore it was not the best time for her to make a choice.

"Diana, I do not think making a choice hastily without weighing the benefits of either of the options would be a wise choice. Why don't you take your time? I bet this present will help you understand what I am trying to say." Saying that I handed Diana ten A-rank rare grade Ogre Blood Totem cards. Yes, nothing better than a bribe to influence a person's decision.

Calling these ten cards as a bride would be a poor choice of words and shortsightedness. I gave these ten cards to Diana to help her understand that when I said that I would put the Fine Gold name and her at the top in every corner of this world, I meant it. These ten cards were a sample of the things I could achieve. I bet with enough time and a gla.s.s of scotch neat, Diana would finally start seeing eye to eye with me.

"..." Diana took the ten cards and accessed ther card info. Upon inspection, she found that all ten cards were identical. Apart from the card's outrageous and insane stats and skills, this was the most noticeable thing. Because one cannot buy ten perfectly identical cards in a market, let alone ten rare A-rank identical cards. If one had those, then it could only mean that the person in question was in contact with the manufacturer of the cards. Or, in this particular case, that person was the manufacturer himself. Therefore after scrutinizing the cards, Diana could not help but ask, "You made these cards?"

"Yes, and there are more where those came from." I took out other 90 rare A-rank Ogre Blood Totem cards, spread them in the shape of a fan, and fanned myself with it.
