Chapter 703 Susan's Declaration

Date- 1 April 2321

Time- 09:45

Location- Sky Blossom City, Southern Watch military base.

I turned to head back to the warehouse to find Ollie blocking my path. With a sneer on his face, he said, "Where do you think you are going?"

"What? Are you going to write me a ticket for flying in your fancy restricted area?" I asked in sarcasm.

"Ticket? Funny, didn't you hear me earlier? I challenged you to duel. Are you going to turn your back on a duel like a coward?" If this was Ollie's way of taunting me, consider him failed. Cowards live a longer life. I don't know why people hate fear? Fear is good. If taken with a positive att.i.tude, that is. It helps you live longer by keeping you awake at night and having you prepare for the worst until you overcome it.

"Anna, is he being serious right now?" I turned to ask Anna. She seemed to be amused.

"Yes, I did say if his reasons were valid, I would allow his duel." Anna supported Ollie's unreasonable actions. The other two young soldiers' attention was here even though they were executing their punishment.

"Okay, I will play along. But where do you come off by calling me a coward? When you are challenging a card soldier realm teenager with your card lord realm. Does this seem fair to you?" Seeing Anna find Ollie's recklessness amusing, I knew things wouldn't end with a talk but the way Anna wanted if I don't help it.

"..." Ollie's face turned tomato red from embarra.s.sment hearing my words. He finally realized how rash his actions were. And he moved out of my way.

"Yeah, that's what I thought." I pa.s.sed Ollie and was about to leave, but my steps stopped hearing a report from a soldier.

"Commander, two girls are causing ruckus at the entrance." A card king realm soldier appeared from the shadows a few meters away from Anna and reported.

"So why are you here reporting instead of throwing them out," Anna replied in annoyance.

"Commander, one of them claims to be your G.o.ddaughter. She says she is here to visit her boss." The soldier added a little context to his report.

"Send them in." Anna's face turned black hearing the word G.o.ddaughter. But still, she chose to let Corey into the base.

"Anna, you don't have to. Since they are here to meet me, I will meet them at the entrance." Since I was heading out anyway, there was no point in letting Corey in to meet me.

"Wyatt, you can't leave just yet." Seeing my frown, Anna explained, "I require your expertise."

"You want my expertise, Uh? On what exactly?" I asked Anna with hesitation. I hesitated because I felt Anna was up to something. I gathered that from how she did not stop Ollie from rashly challenging me.

"I—" When Anna was about to go into detail about her request, she was interrupted by a loud voice.

"G.o.dmother, long time no see." The loud voice was none other than Corey.

"..." I was surprised, not because of Corey but the person who tagged along with her. It was Susan, what is she doing here?

Anna vanished from in front of me and appeared a centimeter away from Corey. Staring into Corey's eyes, Anna warned, "Call me your G.o.dmother one more time and see what happens."

"Yes, boss." Feeling the intimidating aura oozing out of Anna, Corey's wings folded. Seeing Corey submit, Anna returned to her chipper self and greeted Susan, "Welcome, manager Susan. I heard you are looking for Wyatt. Were you worried that he did not spend his night in the warehouse? Are you here to check up on him? Don't worry. He is in good hands."

"..." I was confused, hearing Anna's oddly specific questions. Susan is not my mother for her to check up on me or worry about me spending a night out.

"Knowing Wyatt is with your highness. I am a.s.sured that he is in good hands." Susan's answer was even more confusing. She seems to be agreeing with Anna's oddly specific claims.

"For your information Susan, I don't like to share," Anna spoke, looking right into Susan's eyes.

"Your highness, you cannot share what's not yours." Replied Susan with her usual professional smile.

"..." I give up. I don't understand what these two girls were talking about.

"Manager Susan, you have grown quite confident since last I saw you." Anna could clearly hear Susan declaring that she would not back away.

"Since the last time we met, my priorities have gotten clearer. I will fight for what I want. No matter who I have to face." Susan's words got louder as she spoke the last few words.

"Good, I can respect that. But don't think I will go easy on you." Anna's eyes showcased overbearing pride, and they clashed with Susan's courage-filled eyes which showed will to fight.

"Your highness, I have never accepted charity in my life. What I have, I gained in exchange for my blood and sweat. I am not new to struggle." Susan brimmed with an unwavering spirit as she spoke those words.

"Hahaha, Manager Susan, I like you. If we had met under different circ.u.mstances, we would be best friends." Anna's words were genuine. She meant them and was impressed by Susan's courage and fighting spirit.

"Your highness, you flatter me with your kind words. My humble self would be proud to be your friend." Susan's professional smile never left her face.

"Do you have any idea what they are talking about?" I walked next to Corey and asked.

"..." Corey looked At me with a complex gaze and then said, "Boss, your luck is heavenly. Please, let some of it rub on to me."

"This…" 'f.u.c.k, I truly don't understand woman.'

"Whoa! Second G.o.dmother." Corey yelled in surprise, looking at Ann. Far away, Anna, who was in a staring contest with Susan, couldn't help but frown, hearing Corey.

"h.e.l.lo, I am Ann. Anna's twin sister."
