Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild Association mall, Warehouse no.234

Becoming a card demigod was not straightforward as breaking through from one realm to another. Even if one had a Diamond grimoire and broke through from Card Emperor to Card Demigod realm, they would not be considered as a Card Demigod but be called as half step Demigod or False Demigod.

To become an actual Card Demigod having a high Active soul control parentage and Diamond Grimoire was not enough. One had to construct their divinity to be called an actual Card Demigod. Creating a divinity was complex, and many card apprentices who had reached the card demigod realm failed to construct or were stuck constructing their divinity. Therefore they are termed as False Demigods or Half-step Demigods.

Though they were termed false demigods, they still packed a punch that could hurt a demigod. Their powers were no joke. They were also given similar respect given to an actual card demigod in society. And for someone to be able to gather 3 to 4 dozens of False Card Demigods to ambush a single Card Demigod, such existences working together for one goal could be only seen during the war.

“Be careful; you have already seen what they are capable of. And also, considering that the enemy knew every little detail about the mission: forsaken treasure, it’s time we entertained the possibility of a traitor within the walls of the royal family palace.

I believe Anna also suspected the same thing. Therefore, she held back the information she had gained. She must be waiting to confirm her doubts and then reveal the traitor, but right now, we do not have the time for that. So I will talk to her and contact you soon if I get any information.

And let this matter stay between us. Until we know who the traitors are, for sure.” The information about the mission: forsaken treasure was a highly confidential one. Only the selected few higher-ups of the royal court and southern watch knew about the mission and what the plan was. Yet somehow, the information leaked to an outsider meaning there is a traitor among them. Thankfully only a select few people outside the royal family knew about the mission making the suspect list short.

“I thought so too. And am already investigating everyone that knows about the mission. You talk to Anna and check if she has anything worth sharing. And check back with me later.” Anna’s mother already suspected that the leak about the mission was from inside and had already started investigation on her side into the people who knew about the task. At first, she thought her ex was behind these, so she had limited her investigation to searching if any relationship existed between her ex and one of the suspects to find the guilty.

After this conversation with Lorenzo, she knew why she could not get any result from the investigation till now. She was going about it all wrong. Turns out her ex had nothing to do with the ambush on her mother. With her one lead about the ambush gone, Anna’s mother decided to start over again, but this time she would follow the money.

After making arrangements for Anna’s request, Lorenzo was planning to visit the Sky Blossom city card creationist association hall to discuss about the changes he made to array formations surrounding the city. But that could wait, right now, he wanted to talk with Anna and hear what she knew about the assassins that tried to assassinate her little crush.

“I have some work at the TSR guild. You guys can make yourself at home here.” Having filled my stomach, it was time for revenge. Informing the gang I have out.

“Where are you going? Aren’t you going to show us the other designs for the mecha cards?” Luna hurriedly stopped me from leaving, asking me to show her the other designs I had prepared for the mecha cards.

“About that, it will have to wait. I have some urgent work. After I am done with that, I am all yours.” Since work can wait, I decided to seek vengeance for young Wyatt.

“What am I supposed to do here?” Luna implored. How am I supposed to know that? I am giving you guys a place to rest. Isn’t that enough?

“Why don’t you go get the Memirconium ore? That way, I can analyze it, and we can talk about the custom MegaMorpher you guys asked about.” I said the first thing that came to my mind.

“I have ordered it online. I paid extra for fast delivery. So it will be here soon. How about I tag along with you? After all, we are here to protect you.” For some reason, Luna was being clingy. From the time spent with her, I know she is not the kind of woman who would flaunt over opposite sex but ever since we returned from the dungeon, She has been acting weird and is making a lot of eye contact with me. If I didn’t know better, I would think… No, that’s not possible. I am overthinking it.

“I do not think you tagging along would make me any safer considering what happened in the card stadium.” I was still pissed about what transpired in the VIP box. However, the assassination attempt was unsuccessful. Still, I lost a body and had to undergo the recreation process.

“About that, I am sorry. I will do better this time around.” Luna did not argue with me; instead apologized and said she would do better. This is not the frigid and icy Dr. Luna I know. What is going on here?

“Are you alright, Luna?” I was not the only one shocked by Luna’s apology. Even Anna was shocked and asked whether Luna was fine.

“…” Luna rolled her eyes at her cousin and thought whether she was overdoing it. After all, she did not want her dumb elder cousin to suspect something.

“Fine, you can tag along.” I did not forgive Luna for what happened. But since she asked for forgiveness and seeing how I had no reason to say no to a willing card emperor bodyguard, I let her tag along.
