Time 21:51

Location Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no. 234.

After Corey forgave William the girls went to cook while I and Ronnie were left to entertain the lord of the Bright family. 

“Old man! you have a big family, wife, children and grandchildren didn’t anyone teach you how to dress. I get that you are a golden grimoire holder but that does not give you a pass on killing proper dressing.

What’s with that blue polka dot shirt over yellow floral print pants along with a pair of white cowboy boots. Where did you buy floral print pants? Do they even make those? 

Seeing how you are my friend’s grandpa let me give you advice on clothing if you think it is appropriate to wear then don’t wear them.” For someone with all the money and power in Sky blossom city, William was dressed tacky. I am not vain to judge other people on their dressing or clothes but what William was wearing was too painful to watch, his colours of choice had left the flamboyant station and stopped at the freak station.

“Kid, you know my identity and still dare to talk to me like that. Do you think I will let this pass just because you befriended my granddaughter?” William was trembling with anger, does he not know that his dressing is not appropriate, he does. But what can he do they are the requirements of his Origin card and he cannot control them. If he can not fulfil the requirements of his Origin card in time then he will be penalised but if he does satisfy them then he gets a random boost to his stats and cards. 

William’s Origin card’s demands are always too embarrassing and shameful to fulfil but the more the shameful and embracing requirements the stronger the boosts William gains, these requirements refresh every week and are random. 

Because of this Origin card, William was at odds with his father and elders but once he rose to power and became family lord he was now at odds with his beloved wife who happens to be a very vain person, she almost divorced him if not for him threatening her with suicide. 

She loved him that’s the reason she married him in the first place but she could not stand William embracing and making a fool of himself on the weekly basis and gaining the nickname masochist hero in their friend circle. People did not dare to call the majestic Bright family lord by that name but the other family leaders and association leaders were not afraid and even dared to tuant her with her husband’s dark secret.

Because William’s wife loved him too much she fought hard and sort the Card scraping card for her husband to scrape off his blasphemy of an origin card. But William did not agree with her because even though his origin card made him do shameful and foolish things it gave him great strength enough to challenge opponents at a higher realm than himself. This great strength provided by his origin card was one of the reasons the family elders who hated him because of his black history due to his origin card did not oppose to him becoming the family lord. Since William was not will to scrape his origin card William’s wife threatened him with divorce to which William threatened her with Suicide.

But now a junior of the card student realm dared to do what the rest of the city dreaded to do, William was angry beyond any words could describe if not for his granddaughter’s sake he would have obliterated this young ignorant calf who did not fear the tiger in front of him.

“Old man are you angry, good now that I know that you do have some dignity and resistance felt even after being abused by your Origin card for a lifetime, I will offer you a chance,

What if I were to offer you a way to control your origin card? Do you have the guts to take me up on that offer? I am willing to bet my life on this gamble old man, what about you… are you willing to come out of the shadow cast on you by your origin card!” 

William was quite a famous figure in sky blossom city even before he became the lord of the Bright family, thanks to his origin card. William was one of the lucky ones how found his fated ingredient as soon as he contracted a grimoire. But since that day his black history began.

At first, the conditions mentioned by the origin card were just childish mischievous act which made him gain the public wrath of the entire Sky blossom city, bright family elders had to come out to explain the situation to the public but as Willaims strength grew the conditions mentioned by the origin card became crazier and crazier but never included harm to others or self-harm. Another reason for the sky blossom city tolerates him apart from his insane prowess.

Thanks to William and his Origin card’s popularity it was not hard for me to gather information on William’s Origin card. Though I knew about the conditions, penalty and rewards of his card I did not know what William’s origin card real info my info was base on what the bright family elders disclosed and the rumours floating around in the grimoire network.

But this info was more than enough for me to be interested in William’s origin. I was curious about this card because I heard that thanks to the strength of this card William single-handedly cleared the A-rank dungeon. I was about to create my second origin card and this is the last origin card I can ever create. After this, there are no take-backs until I find a card scraper of the corresponding level. 

Since I can only create one last origin card I wanted this card to be the best out there able to face any card thrown at it seeing how there are many varieties of card which could kill me without me knowing. This is the reason why I taunted a bull-like William, I wanted the secret hidden in his origin card. 

“Hahaha! Kid, you cracked me up, I will forgive you once considering my granddaughter’s face but if you try your tricks on me or my granddaughter once again even good will not save you from wrath.” Threatened William, as suddenly out of nowhere I felt thousands of tonnes of pressure pressing on my soul. My soup was like a rubber ball that would be quashed any second now. 

Only one thing came to my mind feeling this pressure Intimidating Aura no Intimidating aura only works on a person’s mental state it does not directly affect a person’s soul, this pressure was different it felt like if Willam wanted to he could separate my soul from my body. I know this feeling I have felt before, yes it was when I died in my past life as my soul left my body.

“Fuck the rumours were true you are a monster even for a golden rank grimoire holder. Is this the boost provided by your origin card, to be able to attack the opponent’s soul no wonder you don’t give up on this origin card? With this, you could easily kill the opponent beyond your realm. 

Coloured me impressed, my gamble still holds good Old man. I bet on my life I have a way for you to control your card to a certain extent without affecting its power.” The pressure on my soul was enough to send me to a temporary coma if not for me having experienced soul striping pain during my death in my last life. 

William was shocked, this was the first time he had seen someone of the card student realm withstand a direct attack on their soul. Before, if William thought Wyatt was just boasting and was ignorant, now he was impressed but not enough to believe Wyatt had a way to control his origin card. 

William’s eyebrows raised and he wanted to see if how much of the soul pressure this ant in front of could withstand, so he slowly began to increase the pressure on Wyatt’s soul without hearing the words that came out of Wyatt’s mouth.

Feeling the pressure on Soul increase I knew what William was doing, this bastard took my life as entertainment to satisfy his curiosity. But I did not regret my approach to gain William’s attention. Rather I was more determined than before. I knew people like William if they do not acknowledge your strength they will not buy even if you were selling the secret to become good.

But finally not being able to withstand the pressure on my soul I gritted my teeth and said, ” you lewd granddaughter loving pervy old man! you forced me, COREY YOUR GRANDPA IS KILLING ME!!! HELP!!!!!”

Hearing Wyatt shout Williams’s mouth twitched and wanted to quash Wyatt’s soul once and for all but he controlled himself. He did not want Wyatt’s suffering to end here, how dare he sully his pure love for his granddaughter, Wyatt had to suffer! Suffer for eternity.
