Location- Sky Blossom City, Sky Blossom Card Stadium, VIP Box no.1
“Old man, where are you heading? You need the southern emperor’s permission to enter. Which family do you belong to? I have never seen you in this city” Roy Blanc, the new Representative of Inner Circle, called out seeing a bearded old man who was just about to barge into the VIP box no.1.
“Sir, you cannot enter her without a prior appointment or invitation.” The Staff who was standing next to the VIP box no1 door did not notice the old man until Roy Blanc called him out, the staff was only of the Card soldier realm which was very low compared to the realm of the old man. So low that she could not even discern the presence of the old man even though he was passing right by her.
“Oh, okay. I am the newly assigned Card Creationist association leader. Could ask her highness Southern emperor that her subordinate is here to visit.” The old man politely requested the staff. As he summoned his custom disguised grimoire so that the staff could confirm his identity.
“So, you are the new Card Creationist association leader, no wonder I do not remember seeing you in the city. Hi, I am Roy Blanc the representative of the inner circle. Young lady, I will also trouble to inform ger majesty that her subordinate requests an audience with her ” Roy introduced himself to the old man as I requested the staff to relay his request. The staff headed in to report to the VIP occupying the VIP box no1.
“…” The old man ignored Roy completely.
“Didn’t the old Card Creationist association leader tell you about the Sky Blossom city customs.” Roy Blanc was irritated and angered seeing that the old man ignored him twice. The first time it was forgivable since he did not know who he was but the second time, the old man was provoking him.
“…” The old man still treated Roy as air.
“Old man just you wait, you stubbornness and willfulness will cost.” Roy threatened the old man but in return, he did not even receive a response from the old man. If not for being at a sensitive location Roy would have already taught the old man a lesson on sky blossom city customs.
“You can see Her Highness, the southern emperor now.” The staff returned and oped the door for the old man and Roy Blanc.
…
Just as Anna was about to question Pax and his sisters, the VIP box staff reported, “Your Highness, the Card Creationist Association leader and the Inner Circle representative are asking an audience with you.”
“Send them in.” Anna wanted to reject them but remembering the Card Creationist Association was looking into the City array, Anna decided otherwise. But hearing that the Card Creationist Association leader and the Inner Circle representative had come together, Anna had no hopes that she would get any evidence against Circle this time around.
Anna was so careful around the Circle and wanted to do everything by the books because their founder had a demigod behind him who provided this organisation with a foreign ambassador status. Which prompted Anna to hand Circle or any other organisations with a justifiable cause because many Heatsend family ambassadors are also stationed in the territory of various demigods and prominent families, clans and sects. Even the Empire and other cult kingdoms are no exception.
“Your Highness, the Southern Emperor.” The representative of the inner Circle bowed and greeted Anna.
As for the leader of the card creationist guild, he just looked at her as he brushed his long beard with his hands, ” You Brat, I knew you were one of those ungrateful ones. To think that one day I would have to wait at somebody’s door to meet them.”
Hearing the old man address Anna as ‘Brat’ and call her ungrateful the whole room gasped, even I could not help but take a second look at the old man. The Card Creationist Associations arrogance was known to everyone but acting like that in front of the southern emperor was just Plain ignorance. I knew Anna’s temper first hand and knew that these words were like trigger words for her to go berserk. After all, I had my feet, an arm and an ear cut when Anna felt the slightest hint of disrespect and provoked.
‘This Old man is senile, what were the card association thinking sending such a stuck up arrogant bum. It seems I will not get a chance to teach this old fool a lesson.’ Roy Blanc gloated at the old man imagining the misfortune soon to befall him.
“Old man, believe it or not, I will make you kneel and beg for forgiveness.” Compared to the old man’s words Anna’s words came to me as a huge surprise. After a breath, I saw the old man and Anna engage in a staring contest and I was enlightened, these two knew each other.
“I believe you, the first time I saw I knew only you were capable of such a heartless thing.” The old man sighed and shook his head and said, “As heartless as ever I see, your mother is so sweet and kind she still sends presents to this old man on my birthday. And here you are her only daughter who dares to call her master old man.”
“Enough, Old man. What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be in some foreign land exploring, When did you arrive? ” Anna asked seriously. by now everyone in the room was clear.
“Tsk, I arrived in about 45 minutes or so, the city array did not respond to my arrival so I directly took charge of the local card creationist association and went to check on the arrays, it seems they have been maintained poorly but there was no evidence of tampering though.
I am here because of the white powder your uncle sent me today morning, what did he call it? the silver milk powder. That powder is a miracle, I had to come meet its creator. So I used your family teleportation array and landed here. What about you, what are you doing here?” The Old man clicked his tongue at his disciple’s lack of respect towards him and narrated the purpose of his arrival.
“Same as you I also came to meet the creator of the white powder. Old man, are you sure the detection array was not tampered with?” Anna checked with the old man once again.
“Girl it is one thing to disrespect me but questioning my ability as a card creationist, I will not tolerate it!” The old man thundered.
“Old man, hold your horses. I am just double-checking as a hostile card emperor was lurking in the city.”
