Location- Southern Region, Blossom district, Sky Blossom City, St. Raymond's cemetery
"Master," Old Ben rushed to greet me at the cemetery gate. Even though he was working for me now, he spent his free time cleaning the cemetery, especially the graves of his wife, fallen comrades, and young Wyatt's parents. This freedom of will was the result of his calamity daughter core's level of authority as one of my right-hand men.
"You know. I have asked Fine Gold to buy this cemetery and maintain it, right?" Since I did not plan to visit the cemetery to clean papa and mama Wyatt's graves every week as young Wyatt did, I had the Fine Gold do it for me.
"Since we will be leaving soon I thought I should spend some more time here before saying goodbye. Not to mention I don't know if there will be next time," Asides from the calamity daughter cores that will be helping Daina take over the blossom district, some of the most capable calamity daughter cores would be going to the central academic city with me and old Ben was one of them. He had already upgraded his grimoire to platinum grimoire and was waiting for my permission to break through to the Card Overlord realm. Not to forget his origin card and his comprehended blood rule meanings made him an indispensable asset.
"About that, the plan has changed, say your goodbyes now, you and the selected ones will be leaving for the central academic city by tomorrow morning. I have already made arrangements, my friend will reach out to you when you reach there," The friend I spoke of was Dr. Jill Norley.
The moment Jill handed me the demonic card for my protection, I realized that she knew something that she could not tell but her warning was not the reason I fast-forwarded my plans. It was my fight with Anna, walking out of the motel I finally act on something I have been thinking a lot lately, that my life and the foothold for my empire I built in the sky blossom city were very dependent on Anna and her family, without them covering me, it all could cramble and all I could do was run for my life. Therefore, I did not hesitate to pull in favors with Jill on my way to the cemetery at the cost of 10 percent of my share in the phantom sword wood. Though I did not like giving 10 percent of the phantom sword wood I respected Jill for that, though this woman was addicted to me she did not let that part of her let me take advantage of her. If she were a boy she would have made a good friend and a rival.
"Yes, master," old Ben did not show any emotion hearing that I had moved the plans forward.
"Don't worry about arranging the tiger squadron, I will have other calamity daughter cores you have recently recruited in the tiger squadron be in charge of the squadron. Help me tell the same to Van and here take this storage, you know what to do with the cores in them," I said, handing half a dozen storage cards filled with calamity cores to old Ben.
The plan of moving a part of my operation to the central academic city had been devised long ago, the only thing to change now was instead of using the southern royal family's channels to make a place in the central academic city I would be using Jill. Though Jill's services were going to cost me, it was better than totally being dependent on the southern royal family.
"Yes, Master but what about you and manager Susan? Will you two be traveling with us too?" Old Ben asked the only uncertainty of this plan. Unlike my calamity daughter cores I could not decide for Susan, would it be wise of me to take her to the southern royal palace? Or should she stay here and help Vivian and Cindy with pleasure card collection and learn management under Diana? But the calamity daughter cores heading to the central academic region would need a figurehead, was Susan ready for such responsibility? Three months from today maybe but today I didn't have the answers, "No, I will not be coming with you, as for Susan you guys make the required preparations I will tell you by tomorrow morning, anything else?
"No, Master. I will contact you when the proper arrangements are made. I will take my leave now," Saying that old Ben headed to bid goodbye to his wife and his comrade's graves as for me I headed to papa and mama Wyatt's grave to pay my respect.
The Wyatt couple's graves were clean and well maintained, so I decided to leave after a minute of silence but I felt several high-realm auras suddenly appear in the sky blossom city air space, the city array did not seem to hinder them. The auras emitted by these people were so strong that I felt goosebumps all over my body. Why did so many high-realm people come to this unknown corner of the world?
Though I did not know the answer, I activated my soul pupils to check on the situation. And to my shock, I found that there were a total of 5 high-level auras and they all were card demigods except for one semi-demigod. And as if they could feel my gaze the five of them simultaneously turned to look at me, scaring the hell out of me.
Out of fright, I took a few steps back only to bump into a person. What? Earlier there was no one here, except for me and old Ben, who in the right mind would visit the cemetery this late at night? Where did this person come from? I turned to look, only to find that it was one of the four card demigod gods who had appeared above the sky blossom city a few minutes ago. I hurriedly step away, only to hear the card demigod say, "Your eyes are as beautiful as your mother's eyes."
