“Come on Master Wyatt, do not be like that, I thought we were friends,”  Elliott said with a sad yet very sincere expression.

Maybe there is no conspiracy, he was just sincerely expressing his gratitude, I do not know and don’t care. Knowingly or unknowingly he has involved me in something big for which the current me was not ready yet. 

Seeing my unmoved expression Elliott continued, ” Do you know what I want to do most after I leave this lab now that I am cured?” 

“How am I supposed to know?”

“Guess..” 

“..” 

I did not bother to answer Elliott and could not go out as he was blocking the exit. He is way stronger now and a realm higher than me,’fu<k why does my creation come back to bite me in the ass?’ 

“Master Wyatt, I respect you as my Saviour and also see you as my friend, I mean you no harm. Please spare me a few minutes of your time. I rarely get to talk with someone I trust without being monitored.” I could feel genuine sadness and loneliness in Elliott’s voice but holding me hostage was not the answer, ‘why the fu<k do I get the crazy clients?’ 

“The first thing I want to do is to make my secretary mine, do you know the agony of being trapped in a fragile body and needing some hard love. 

While others were playing girlfriend and boyfriend and enjoying their teenage romance I was stuck! Stuck in a fragile prison.

I don’t care about the past but the present, Master Wyatt you made all my dreams possible and your opinion about me matters the most to me. So believe me when I say I mean no harm by giving you the calamity seed. 

Please I hope you can trust me as I trust you, please forgive me for my rudeness.” Saying that Elliot opened the door and turning to me he said, ” after you Master Wyatt.” 

I did not take Elliott’s word to heart because I could care less about it after what happened. I just wanted to limit my relationship with Elliott to employer and employee relationship. 

…

“Sir, I have paid Susan and added a hefty tip.” Replied Karen, looking at Elliott whose skin was shimmering under the sunlight, which made him look more charming and celestial. 

“Okay good get rid of these baffoons, they should have already reported to my brothers and sisters about me getting a cure. They are no longer of use.” Said Elliott as he walked hastily enjoying the feeling of being able to walk without having to worry about breaking a few bones, as his entourage followed behind him.

“Good, Sir” Karen replied enthusiastically. Then she suddenly turned and slashed her hand in the air as a red tornado swallowed the rest of Elliott’s entourage and vanished into space.

With a satisfied smile, Karen turned and followed behind Elliott and asked, “Sir what about the Calamity seed, Didn’t the chairman ask you to auction it.” 

“Forget about it, I gifted it to Master Wyatt for his help. But continue to act as I still have the seed. I do not want any harm befalling my benefactor.” 

“Understood sir. Anything else” 

“Quit acting Karen, nobody is monitoring us anymore. Act your usual self.” 

“Nope! Right now I am Secretary. I should act accordingly.” 

“Okay take me to the nearest hotel, I have to punish my disobedient employee.”

“Right away sir, I am looking forward to it.” Said Karen playfully with a devilish charm oozing out of her. 

…

Sending off Elliott I turned to Sasan and said, “send me all the info you can get on Dungeon calamity seed.” 

“Dungeon calamity seed! Okay, I will send it to you asap.”

Meanwhile, I started to browse the grimoire network to see what I can learn about Calamity seed. All the info in the network was bullshit even the images were fake but still, I surfed the net to see if I can find something useful. 

As I was busy browsing, I got a call

[Uncle Tom calling…]

‘Uncle Tom… wait papa Wyatt’s only brother! Why is he calling now? Did he find out about papa and mama Wyatt? Fu<k cleaning up young Wyatt’s mess is getting harder and harder.’ 

‘How am I going to explain to him why I did not report to him about papa and mama Wyatt’s death?’ 

Unable to come up with reasonable answers I just answered the call, 

“Wyatt! How are you?” 

“I am fine… uncle. How are you and aunt?” 

“We are fine, I wanted to talk to your parents. But it seems they are on a mission so I couldn’t reach them. Did they say when they will return or something?” 

‘Fuck! .. What do I say.. ‘ taking a deep breath I said, ” uncle what is it, it seems urgent, tell me I will report it to them later.”
