‘Bang!’

“Argh!… WTF!” After facing the soul splitting I was already exhausted mentally and needed to rest. So distancing from Corey I made myself comfortable on the couch when suddenly out of thin air an 80 pound something fell on top of me, shouting in pain I pushed the thing off me only to be dumbfounded knowing what the thing was.

Not just me Susan, Ronnie and Corey were perplexed, how can something just appear out of thin air and fall on top of someone indoors. So they suspiciously looked at William, especially Corey. She was already very disgruntled about what her grandfather did earlier. But when they saw what the thing was they no longer knew what was happening.

Seeing the trio gaze at him suspiciously William spread his hands and shook his head as if telling them he was innocent and was dejected that his granddaughter suspected him. Other than that he was disappointed that the figure in black was not here to a.s.sa.s.sinate Wyatt.

“Wyatt, you okay?” Susan asked in concern, after all an 80 pound something just crashed onto him.

“I am fine! Who the h.e.l.l is that? How did she get in here?” I said looking at the teenage girl in a black bodysuit, she was the 80 pound something who fell on me, I think my ribs were bruised due to the crash.

“…” Susan, Ronnie and Corey also wanted the answers to those questions.

“You are asking the wrong questions! What you should be asking is why did she fall on top of you instead of the rest of us here. That will also answer the rest of your questions.” Said William looking at Wyatt with great interest, today was an interesting night for him as he met a very interesting and special ant. To think that the fated encounter chose an ant out of all the powerful and capable people in the Sky blossom city. It seems the destiny of this ant has something great in stores for him.

“Old Man! since you know what is happening? why not just explain the situation to us?” I told William. To Which he replied with a snarky playful smile pasted across his ugly mug.

At first, I thought it was just a coincidence that the girl fell on me but hearing old man William it seems it was more than just a coincidence, old man William should know what is happening here but looking at his playful smile it seems he will not just tell me everything he knows.

Thankfully I had his kryptonite on my side. Corey looked at her grandpa with puppy eyes and pleaded, “grandpa, please… I will make mashed potatoes for you!”

William’s playful smile melted forming a warm smile but looking at my victorious glint in my eyes he grunted. But no matter how displeased he was with me he could not say no to his granddaughter over a pity grudge, so he explained, ” you children should have read the stories about Princess/Prince in trouble living a pitiful life suddenly encounter a prince/princess who rescues them from their miserable life… that one encounter turned their fates entirely… that encounter is termed as fated encounter. What if I were to say that there is a card for the ‘Fated Encounter’.”

There are many children fairy tales where the Prince/Princess is put under a curse to sleep for eternity or live as an ugly animal or beast but when the said Prince/Princess have their fated encounter they can change their miserable fate just like that to live happily ever after, too overpowered but not surprising for a fairy tale.

“What?! There is such a card.” Corey exclaimed, astonished by the info she just got.

I was also astonished and frightened to be completely honest, just when I think I have seen the limits of the cards I am slapped on the face with a reality check.

How can such a card exist? what ingredients and knowledge would one require to create such a card? Even if that card is possible wouldn’t it be priceless? Looking at the girl she is just at the card soldier realm… how can she afford such a card or is her ident.i.ty special to use such a card.

I had too many questions to ask but I suppressed them to ask once William was done explaining cause I had felt the more I showed interest in this the more tight-lipped William will be.

“Grandpa tell me more about the card.” Asked Corey, being a real-life princess the fated encounter card fueled her curiosity, though she was trying to change and experience life, bad habits are hard to get rid of.

Since his princess wants to know William could only oblige and ill.u.s.trated the Fated Encounter card info,

“The current known descendant of Irene George the 6th is Van George the Current Guild Leader of Tyrant Guild. You guys are lucky I was here because except for the Tyrant guild leader I am the only person in sky blossom to know about this card. This was supposed to be a secret between me and him but seeing how the card has been used there is no point in keeping it a secret.” Boosted William and added, “he p.a.w.ned this card to me when he first came to Sky blossom city to open his guild.”

Van George is not an original resident of sky blossom city, but a refugee who fled to the city when his home was destroyed in a dungeon break. Starting a new life in Sky loss city he wanted to open a guild here but he needed a lot of money for that so to gain the capital to establish his guild Van p.a.w.ned the Fated Encounter to the lord of the Bright family.

The card had many restrictions to it but since Van had willingly entrusted the card to William, William found no reasons to give up on such a treasure. William then sighed and looking at Corey he said, “I wanted to gift this card to you when you contracted the silver grimoire but Van finally paid his debt by then and had retrieved the card. If not for the restriction alas…”

While William was Explaining the card, Susan explained the situation to Jackie who was hiding in the kitchen and arranged the Unconscious girl in the bedroom. And even brought a few cus.h.i.+ons for me to rest comfortably. Seeing Susan’s action William was puzzled and asked her, “why are you tending to the unknown girl, just hand her to the enforcers, it will save you from a lot of trouble.”

William was a well known and respected figure, Susan did not know how to answer him without being rude to him. How could she explain to him that she would not just abandon a person in need without her words being taken as rude? If she said that it would mean she is implying that William is heartless.

“Old man! aren’t you forgetting something… this is our place, we decide how we do things here.” I said directly to Willaim’s face, this a.s.shole was one cruel s...o...b.. You sliced my soul in anger, I understand that but slice it to the end.

Due to the interruption of Corey William did not completely slice a small part of my soul but he left halfway through. If he had sliced apart the soul completely I could consume a soul Jade to regrow the sliced part of the soul and expensive yet easy remedy. But he only did it halfway leaving a tear in my soul. Now I had to mend my soul to heal the tear which is a very painful process but cheap.

Now that I think about it may be intentional because if he wanted to he could just slice it off within seconds even with the interruption from Corey but he did not do so instead he chose to leave halfway leaving a tear in my soul knowingly, William you conniving old b.a.s.t.a.r.d.

I had many questions like, what is Demi-G.o.ds bestowal? What are the ingredients used to make this card? Why is it just an uncommon grade card even with such overpowered stats? What does the card mean by gaining the attention of the Demi-G.o.d?
