“Wow! Pax, slow down Buddy we have a deathmatch later remember… I know a street beggar like yourself must have not seen this much food in one place still, we cannot have you choking on your food right before the deathmatch can we now.” Said a pompous looking man in his early twenties.
“Paul get the fuck out of here… a coward like you who only knows to bully the weak disgust’s me and my siblings. Looking at you will only affect my brother’s appetite… so politely fuck off” said Beth with her signature look filled with disgust.
“Come on now little cousin how can you talk to your elder brother like that, you got to tone it down a little after all this is the reason why the family is considering marrying you off as a tool for alliance… The elders are not wrong this way you can make some contribution to the family.” Said Paul, reminding the siblings why all this happened in the first place.
“Paul, are you sure, is this how you plan on spending your last hour on the world. Why not appreciate the family’s generosity and enjoy your last meal instead of going around frightening little girls.” Said Amy.
“If anything else you twins have a smart mouth on you… let me see how you guys help your precious little bro in the arena.” Paul snorted and left.
“Who was that? Is he the one who challenged pax to deathmatch? I did not think that there was anybody so courageous enough to talk to you guys in that way, after all, no matter how many conflicts or infighting in a family you guys still are the first descendants of the current head of the family.” Said Corey, looking at the back of withdrawing Paul. All the Whiteburn’s in the hall avoided the siblings but Paul barked and even dared to threaten the siblings.
“Yes, Every family has a black sheep and he is our family black sheep who is so conceited being used by some people with high standing in the family that he has forgotten his place. Do not underestimate him even though he is a black sheep he is the Whiteburn family black sheep and has stronger jaws than any other black sheep out there.” Answered Amy and no matter how vain Paul acted he was still a 23year old late Card soldier (37%-39%ASC), which anywhere else would be considered as a genius but in the Whiteburn family, it was just average.

“Welcome to the Whiteburn family deathmatch no.89, at the right we have Paul Whiteburn and at the left, we have Pax Godson.
Challengers remember this a fight till death,
No Mercy! No Surrender!
The Last One left Standing Leaves The Arena!
FIGHT!” Announced the Referee. Hearing the no.89 I was surprised, how do these Whiteburn’s manage to function as a family after killing so many of their blood-related brothers and sisters themselves over a dispute.
As soon as the referee commenced the fight both Pax and Paul summoned their sliver grimoire simultaneously, as a sliver light shone on both their skin. The sliver light on Pax’s skin was not much weaker than Paul’s, which surprised Paul as he asked, “When did you step into the Card Soldier realm?”
“Just this morning, I should thank you if not for you pushing me I would have never considered creating my origin card and be able to step into the Card soldier realm this early. As a show of gratitude, I will give you a painless and quick death.” Pax was performing exceptionally on the stage and was not hindered by the scrutinizing gaze of the spectators, the media or the social media influencers… It seems the Whiteburn Family Deathmatch is a popular event in Sky blossom city.
“Nonsense! Field Card White Dwarf Sun terra” shouted Paul activating a field card and suddenly the arena floor was covered in white flame raising the arena’s temperature to a dangerous level.

Feeling the sudden temperature many nanotech sensors implants in Pax went bonkers,
[Detecting sharp temperature elevation in the surrounding…
Activating mechanical Thermal Organ…
Body temperature adapting to the surrounding…
Correction tier1 Thermal Organ insufficient…
Following protocol, please switch to higher-tier or absorb thermal energy using Black steel f16 alloy…. ]
‘Absorb thermal energy using Black steel f16 alloy’ Pax answered through his thought.
[Absorbing thermal energy…
Body temperature adapting to the surrounding…
Body temperature stabilised..]
Seeing Pax unfazed by the heat Paul was not surprised he was Vain but not dumb if he can have good cards then the bastard son of the head of the family will have better cards… So to reduce the variables and risk he intends to finish the match as early as possible.
“Trap Card Nine White Dwarf Suns” chanted Paul as a result of nine miniature white flame orbs of 6-meter radius filled the arena.
[Card Name: Nine White Dwarf Suns
Card Type: Trap Card (active)
Card Rank: C-rank, uncommon
Card Rating: 9-stars
Card Durability: [79/100]
Card Effect: when activated 300 meters of land surrounding the host will be surrounded by 9 miniature flame orbs of a 6-meter radius, which can be detonated at the host’s will.
Additional Effect: Target, Trigger, the host is immune to the card effect.]
Target: Coordinates within the card range can be set as a target, once the target coordinates are set they cannot be changed.
“Now do you dare to be cocky!” Asked Paul with a smile on, as if he had already won the battle and then added, “Target 77 meters, detonate.”
Seeing Paul activate a Field card and a trap card one after the other the Twins expression darkened, As Blabbered, “not good! Fuck this is cheating! Using Field and Trap cards in the arena is cheating right! Why isn’t the referee stopping the match!!”
“Calm the fuck down… you’re getting on my nerves. Using Field and Trap cards in the arena is not cheating…there is no such rule stating that. just our predecessor was too proud to use such shameless means so you have never seen anybody using Field and Trap cards in the family arena.” Said Amy, she was also worried but knew that worrying will not help their situation.
“But it is not allowed in the Card fight championship!” Retorted Beth.
“This is the Whiteburn Family deathmatch… championship rules and regulations are useless here.” Amy finally knew why no one in the family bothered to greet them when they arrived in the morning, especially those shameless branch family ass kissers. ‘Fuck this was all pre-planned. Somebody is using the loopholes in family law to get rid of the only male progeny of the father. Is it because of fathers origin card?’
Jack Whiteburn’s origin card is a unique and powerful card that allowed him to step on his generation of talents and take the position of head of the family. If he were to fall his grimoire would be given to his heir mainly the male heir. It can be passed to the female heir but they had to marry into the family. Marrying into the family only meant the female heir would be controlled by the family. And in case of no suitable heirs, the grimoire would fall into the family’s to be used by a promising family genius.
In case if anything happens to Jack Whiteburn his grimoire would be given to his first heir Eliza who also happens to be the next in line to be the family head. But seeing how Jack had left to rescue Eliza and both their whereabouts and well being is unknown, Amy could only guess that the family is silently clearing all the possible heir’s to her father’s grimoire,’ No wonder the elders brought up the political marriage for Beth these bastards are really up to something… I can only hope father and elder sister are safe.’
Field and Trap cards are banned in the card fight championship, especially Trap cards because they are unfair since the Challenger’s are limited and restricted to the area within the arena. Due to being restricted to a small area to fight the challengers have no choice but to fall into the trap and end the match with no surprise. Bright family deathmatch was no championship except for the normal rules and no mercy! no surrender! rule there weren’t many rules to the deathmatch. Where other family members saw shame Paul saw an opportunity and took advantage of the loopholes. What was most worrying was that each miniature white flame orb had a power equivalent to a C-rank energy explosion.
