Card Apprentice Daily Log

Chapter 107: No Discounts No Loans No Refunds

Desperate the siblings called their friends for help but none of them came to their help as the families behind them strictly warned them from getting involved or helping out the siblings. So at last, they called one of Beth’s pretentious friends Corey who agreed to introduce them to a good and trustworthy card creationist. The siblings were delighted but only to have their hopes crushed seeing whom Corey introduced, it was a card creationist who was still in high school. They thought Corey would introduce them to her family gold card creationist or at the least a well-known silver card creationist but not a card creationist who was still in high school.

The siblings were angry with Corey until they finally visited the online shop and read the listed clients and fees charged by the said card creationist. Specifically, the name Jaya Keith caught their attention, anyone born and raised in sky blossom city knew her and her personality to think that that stuck up bitch got her origin card created by a high schooler they knew things were not as they seemed and there may be more to this high school card creationist. 

Finally, they laid eyes on Susan’s origin card info, other than her rest of the clients had chosen to hide their card info. But Susan’s card info was enough for the sibling’s to change their mind about the card creationist introduced by Corey not because they trusted the capabilities of the high schooler as a card creationist but the liquid armour origin card recipe of the high school card creationist was a perfect fit for their brother’s fated ingredient.

Hearing Amy explain their situation I understood that for sure these siblings will not require my card creationist services as of tomorrow because a dead man doesn’t require an origin card but a coffin or a jar if his siblings chose to burn his remains that is if the enemy is gracious enough to have left any. 5 soul jades was a big sum enough to change my mind but, “Good! Seeing your predicament I think my other appointments can wait. I do pity your situation but after all, I am running a small business and you will have to compensate for all the loss I suffer by cancelling all my sessions for you today. It won’t cost you much just one soul jade, Bringing your total to 6 soul jades. Pay the bill upfront, no discounts, no loans and no refund.” 

“Thank you, sir Wyatt, but 5 soul jade is all we have on us right now… I know we have already asked too much from you but please show us a way around this…” Amy never in her dreams thought that one day she the heir to the city’s richest family would have such a time when she had to beg for a discount or a loan. The siblings together have around $75million in their grimoire but that is not enough to replace a soul jade, if not for Beth being lazy and not using this week’s resources for cultivating her active soul control they wouldn’t even have the 5 soul jades that they promised to pay us a service fee. 

“Nope, I understand but rules are rules I am running a business here… I really can not do much when it comes to rules… ” 5 soul jades is a large sum but it is of no use if I am not alive to use it, creating my second origin card takes priority. And helping these siblings means becoming an enemy in the eyes of their rival, since the strongest and wealthiest card creationists of the city did not dare to help these siblings, I a current nobody clearly would be out of my mind to play their saviour.

“As if this dump would earn a soul jade for a day.” Beth said in a low and indistinct voice. My sharp ears clearly heard the words she murmured but I chose to ignore those words. 

Corey, who was silent and acted as a bystander till now suddenly spoke, “Amy I have a few soul jades on me right now, I will lend them to you, you can pay me back later.” 

Amy looked at Corey with deep gratitude, the friends she trusted fled at the first sign of trouble but her sister’s snobbish friend was the one to help them out, it seems she was not a good judge of people as she thought, “thank you, Corey. My sister found a good friend for herself. Unlike my friends who talk a big game about comradery but…*sigh* thank you again.”

Corey’s face was red with shame as she knew if it was a week ago she may have also acted like Amy’s other friends, if not for the sudden change in her thanks to her relief origin card. Soon Corey took out a bag of soul jades and handed them to Amy, looking inside Amy shouted in shock, “97 soul jades… this too much. I can not take this…” at last the calm and collective Amy finally showed an expression fitting her age. 

Seeing Amy’s reaction Corey hurriedly said, ” No, it’s not a big deal… uncle Jack and big sis Liz are away, you guys are all alone and will need a certain amount of capital to use… return the soul jades once everything is taken care of.” 

“Looks like the rumours are true, the two heads of the Bright family love and spoil their granddaughter the most, that amount is enough to buy a low-level F-rank dungeon.” Said Elliot looking at Corey, it was not a surprise that Elliot knew who Corey was after all he must have done a thorough background check of me and the people surrounding me. 

I knew Corey hailed from the Bright family and was beloved to William and his wife but I never thought they would just let her walk around with that much wealth. Shit! Corey is the embodiment of the term rich woman. These 97 soul jades change things Right now in my eyes, the three siblings looked like 3 little piggy banks. Yes, my eyes were muddled enough for me to consider playing saviour for this innocent and rich trio of siblings. 

The same was true for the siblings, to them Wyatt’s gaze felt like a greedy big bad wolf was eyeing them…
