Location- Sky Blossom City, South Zone Helen’s Homemade Bread
“This is the city’s famous bakery, if you visit Sky Blossom City then you must taste Helen’s Homemade Bread” Lorenzo Lorn as ordered by his new employer was entertaining the two guests from the capital.
“Master Lorn, I am filled to the brim after the 36-course meal earlier. I do not think I have room for baked goods in me,” Barnard declared as let out a huge burp.
“Vincent, it seems your nephew doesn’t understand the meaning of supporting the local businesses.” Lorenzo reminded Fire Fist emperor in a rather calm tone but these words were as cold as the blade of the guillotine for him.
“Master Lorenzo, my sister has spoiled him rotten. Please forgive his insolence. I will remember to properly educate him in my sister’s stead.” Vincent Duskborn roamed the entire sky blossom city with an amputated arm. The force stopping him from regrowing his hand had long disappeared but Vincent did not dare to regrow it not until is back in the capital. This may be the most shameful moment in his life after becoming a card emperor but Vincent chose to swallow it as he knew he was not a match for Anna or her slave Lorenzo or the family behind her.
“Good, I trust you. Now go order something for yourselves. None for me though I have had digestion issues lately maybe because I am getting old.” Lorenzo was not afraid of being called shameless, he only cared about fulfilling his master’s… employer’s orders.
“No, Master Lorenzo, you are not old. I heard you can take down SS rank dungeons with ease. The problem may be with the food. Please, rest. While we support the local businesses.” Vincent did not hide his art of ass lickary. He appeared to be more shameless than Lorenzo himself. He knew that his family was wondering to get under the shade of the Heatsend Royal family umbrella so would have to lick the Royal family’s ass anyway so why not get a head start than the rest of his family.
“Haha, you are right. Something must have been wrong with the food. The SS rank dungeon clear is old news. Last month I raided an SSS-Rank dungeon with a three-member demigod party. I just did not want to brag in front of you younger generation.” Lorenzo bragged regardless and forgot to mention during the SSS-Rank Dungeon raid he acted as a porter for the demigod party of the Heatsend royal family.
“SSS-rank dungeon, Master Lorenzo meeting you in person I knew you were nothing short of the rumours about you.” Vincent believed Lorenzo and his mind skillfully skipped the words demigod party and thought Lorenzo was the one who cleared the SSS-rank dungeon. As the saying goes, you only hear what you want to hear. Unlike him, his nephew Brandon was a little sceptical about the old bones because he had never seen a strong figure, the one the old bones claimed to be so shameless and narcissistic.
“What do the rumours tell about me. I am always holed up in research or dungeon diving so it has been a long time since I have contacted the outside world. Do the people still remember and talk about this old man? What do they say? Don’t hesitate, I can take a little criticism.” Lorenzo was enjoying Vincent’s flattery and seamlessly asked for more.
“Well, Grandaunt will love to hear how you cleared the SSS-rank dungeon old man. I bet Grandpa and Uncle will love to hear about it too.” Anna appeared next to the 3 card apprentice out of the thin air.
“Haha, My dear Grandniece you already own me why do you have to go one step further to torture and humility me? Show this old man some mercy.” The arrogant and shameless Lorenzo started to purr like a docile yet shameless cat hearing Anna mention his wife.
Snorting at her shameless old man, Anna turned to Vincent and Brandon and questioned them, ” How many of you have come? Before you answer, know that for every lie you tell I will claim one body part of yours and that includes your genitalia, especially your genitalia.”
“Just the two of us.” Vincent hurriedly answered Anna. He knew this bitch was crazy and would not turn soft with a few words of flattery and honeyed words like Lorenzo.
“The family did not want to attract too much attention so it only sent two of us. I swear.” Brandon hurriedly yelled while his hand covered his genitals. Seeing his invincible uncle lose an arm to this woman Brandon no longer dared to make light of her words. Therefore he did not voice an opinion when she ordered them not to contact Wyatt until after the tournament was over.
“They are not lying” Lorenzo vouched for the uncle and nephew duo. Not because of the flattery of Vincent earlier but because of his special rune ‘Balance’. One of the reasons why he was able to become the most important minister of Demigod Heatsend and marry his elder sister Demigod Autumn March.
“Then who else knows about your visit and purpose of visit,” Anna asked with a deep frown.
“Except for a few family elders, Nobody else knows about our visit and its purpose,” Vincent answered and Brandon hurriedly nodded showing agreement to his uncle.
Anna looked at Lorenzo for confirmation who nodded indicating that the uncle and nephew duo were not lying.
“Then, the only possibility is that somehow the information of your visit and its purpose has been leaked.
I just sensed two other card emperors in the vicinity. They are skilled and were able to hide before I could trace them back.” Anna revealed her intention behind interrogating the Duskborn uncle and nephew.
“What? That’s not possible. This is very important to our family. There is no way there was a leak on our side. I am not pointing fingers but maybe these people have nothing to do with my family and they are just here to kidnap the creator of the Silver powder.” Vincent defended his family and was alert. Having witnessed Anna’s street first hand he knew a person who can escape her trance is not someone to trifle with.
