Location- Sky Blossom City, Damned Raining Arena. 

“The one who ordered the assassination of the discoverer of the silver milk powder is Susan Baylor aka Madame Web.” the clever card emperor finally revealed the mastermind behind the assassination attempt. Having been informed about Susan Baylor, aka Madame Web, the clever card emperor finally felt true freedom after decades because all the members of the madame Web’s club can never talk about club-related activities to a nonmember. Breaking one of the core rules of the club, the clever card emperor felt genuinely free from Madame Web’s web. 

“By Sansa Baylor, Do you mean the wife of the young Demigod Baylor?” Anna seemed to have met Sansa Baylor once she attended a ball in the central region. 

“Yes, that’s her. That woman is the one who gathered all of us to assassinate master Dalton Wyatt.” The Clever Card emperor nodded in agreement. 

“You are telling me the Baylor family is behind the assassination. First, who are you? What is your relationship with the Baylor family?” Hearing the card emperor throw a big name, Anna’s expression became severe as the Baylor family was an old prestigious, and respected family in the capital city. They were part of the capital’s Noble families. 

Killing the entire Baylor family was no big deal to the Heatsend Royal family, but the consequences that followed would be tedious. Therefore Anna wanted to get her facts straight before coming to a decision. If she could gather enough evidence on the Baylor family and their crimes, then no force in the world could stop her from slaughtering the Baylor family. 

“Sorry, your highness, for my late Introduction. I am Kareem Fahad from the Eastern region. I am a member of the secret club run by Sansa Baylor. The Baylor family is not related to the assassination attempt on Master Wyatt. That family does not know the existence of the club or Sansa Baylor’s activities.” Kareem Fahad answered Anna’s questions one by one.

“Wait, what connection does a family from the capital have with someone in the eastern region?” Anna was surprised to hear that a person from the eastern region was the running dog in the capital city. 

“No, your highness. I did not work for the Baylor family, just Sansa Baylor.” Kareem corrected Anna. 

“If the Baylor family is not involved, then the young Demigod Baylor should be behind all this.” Anna did not believe that a weak card emperor such as Sansa Baylor would be able to run an organization made up of card emperor’s so she thought that if the Baylor family was not helping her, then her husband, young Demigod Baylor, was helping her from the shadows.

Anna addressed Demigod Baylor as a young Demigod because he was younger than her and had already achieved the Demigod realm before her. Not just her but her entire generation. 

“No, your highness. Neither the Baylor family nor Demigod Baylor is backing Madame Web Sansa Baylor to run the secret club. I can understand your confusion, your highness. Mrs. Baylor may be weak in terms of combat power, but her other abilities are more than enough to help her run and manage a club full of Card emperor.” Kareem explained to Anna that though Sansa is weak, she has enough capabilities to run and manage Madame web’s club. 

“Fine, But why does she want to assassinate Wyatt?” Anna had many questions about Sansa Baylor, her ability, and the club she runs, but she decided to keep them later and asked the crucial question. 

“Sorry, your highness. I have no idea about this. None of us do. The club members receive the task and complete it in exchange for merits, no questions asked.” Kareem or the other Card emperors did not know why Sansa wanted to assassinate a boy in the card soldier realm. 

“…” Anna went into deep contemplation, thinking what reason there could be for Sansa Baylor from a prestigious noble family from the capital to assassinate a nobody in a backward part of the Southern region. 

Suddenly Anna remembered Wyatt’s mother seemed to have an arranged marriage with the young demigod Baylor. According to the files on Wyatt’s mother and her past, she appeared to be close with Sansa Baylor. 

“This explains a lot. But still, this is too much for an old jealousy” Anna was confused. Why would somebody want to kill the only son of her friend? But remembering her college days and her so-called girlfriends, Anna soon understood Sansa was not Wyatt’s mother’s friend; instead, Sansa was jealous of her. Anna thought Sansa was being petty for trying to kill her kid for her old jealousy.

“Your highness?…” Kareem was confused by Anna’s mumbling and did not know what she was talking about. 

“Now tell about this Bitch Sansa, her card ability, and the Madame Web’s Club.” Finally guessing Sansa’s interest in Wyatt, Anna asked Kareem about Sansa Baylor, her ability, and the club she runs. 

“I thought you wouldn’t ask. Sansa Baylor is one petty and ruthless bitch….” Kareem was enjoying breaking every club rule set by Sansa. Doing so, he felt in control. “…. that is how Madame Web’s Club works…. and about Sansa Baylor’s card info, I have no memory about it, it seems every time my origin card activated and reported to me about Sansa’s card info, she would delete that part of my memory.” 

Whenever an enemy uses their card on Kareem, his origin card updates him about that card’s info. Along with clues on how to overcome the abilities of that said card. Similarly, when Sansa uses her cards on Kareem, he would receive updates and hints about that card, but soon Sansa would wipe that part of his memory clean. If not for the usefulness of Kareem’s origin card, Sansa would have long gotten rid of a troublesome fellow like him. 

“Fook!” Anna could not help but curse hearing Kareem’s info and explanation of Madame Web’s club. And the heinous way it was built and operates.
