"Dad! What is in that small box? Why did you bury it here?" Connie exclaimed in astonishment looking at the broken basement floor and the small box hidden in it.
"Connie dad will explain later. Be a good girl and help me patch this floor?" After fusing with the daughter core Chris did not feel any changes in his will except for an immeasurable amount of faith and belief for Wyatt, he was still his usual self but now he cared more about Wyatt and what Wyatt would think or ask of him? Not to mention he would sacrifice himself and the rest of his family to please Wyatt if required, just like a mortal worshipping his beloved deity.
Chris knew that his body was permanently damaged as an effect of the cursed fire implanted within him by the clown mask. And after reading the abilities bestowed to them by the calamity daughter core he knew that he could gain a better body and get rid of old wounds to better serve his lord after undergoing a complete body restructuring. Amanda and Maya had the same thoughts so they decided to bring out the stashed wealth that they had accumulated over the years hidden from the Circle's watchful eyes. They did not mention this wealth to Simon or Connie before entering a coma because the sudden gain of wealth was definitely bound to attract circles' attention putting their life in jeopardy.
"Lord, please accept this?" Chris, Amanda and Maya offered their stashed wealth to their lord.
"What is this? A storage card?" I took the small box offered by the trio only to find an E-rank storage card within it.
"My lord, it's all of our savings." Explained Chris.
"Why are you giving this to me! give it to your kids this will help them better settle and adjust to the new city they will be moving to?" This was the prowess of the daughter core and its Hive AI brainwashing, even though they had their own will and thoughts it was not beyond me. But the ability of the daughter core also had its limitation, it can only sow into a card apprentice's soul pathway if that card apprentice had the equal or lower grade of a grimoire as me.
That is, if I were a silver grimoire holder, then the calamity daughter core can only work against the card apprentices within the card master realm with silver grade grimoire. If they happen to have golden or higher grade grimoire the daughter core cannot sow into their soul pathway.
Currently, I am a golden grade grimoire holder, calamity daughter core can only work against the card apprentices within the card Lord realm with golden grade grimoire. If they happen to have platinum or higher grade grimoire the daughter core cannot sow into their soul pathway. But within Sly blossom city, this was enough as I had not heard of any card apprentice with platinum grade grimoire or realm above lord realm.
Chris, Amanda and Maya were of card grandmaster realm with silver grimoire; it was not a challenge to fuse daughter core with them. Even though they were my subordinates I did not want to mistreat them, not to mention their kids. I had already stolen their parents and aunt from them. I did not want to steal the wealth that rightfully belonged to them. And how much can their savings be? I knew papa and mama Wyatt's savings was nothing but a few million and as their partners, the trio's savings should be the same amount. The current me is not lacking a few million.
"My lord there are 72 soul jades in the storage card, we wanted to use the soul jades to restructure our bodies before we proceed further with the plan" Chris explained his intention for offering me their hidden wealth.
Hearing 72 soul jade's I was surprised because I searched every nook and cranny of the Wyatt residence with my soul pupils but I did not find any hidden wealth. After inquiring about this to the Kane trio I understood why. Unlike the trio who hid their extra income from the circle, papa and mama Wyatt donated their extra income to the refugee camps, orphanages, and other worthy charities. The Circle strongly monitored the strength and wealth of their party so that they could suppress any rebellion ideas the party would have. That is the reason although all five of them had broken through the card grandmaster realm none of them had a golden grimoire.
Thinking about what Chris said I thought what he said made sense and allowed them to restructure their bodies. I will compensate Simon and Connie later or in some other way. While Chris, Amanda and Maya were restructuring their bodies I finally received a call from Elliott,
"Wyatt sorry I was in a meeting, I had to isolate my grimoire for the confidentiality of purpose." Elliot explained why I was not able to get hold of him and Karen.
"Hey! You don't have to explain it to me, I know you. Good thing that you called when you could. Are you free now?" Elliott did not need to explain himself to me. I was his business partner, not his boss.
"Yes, I have about 30 minutes before I head home to deal with some stuff!" It seemed something big had happened, I could tell by the amount of frustration in Elliott's voice, "What happened?"
"*sigh* some of the board members of Jk group along with Fine gold screwed me over. I have to head back home to clean my backyard and later I will deal with this Fine gold bitch..." Elliott seemed to be pissed, getting screwed by Fine Gold was one thing but getting screwed by the JK group that must have hurt him a lot.
"Okay, I will forward you an address, come meet me here." I said as I sent him the Kane family address. The would Sky blossom city was under Circle and there was no way I could covertly execute my plan so I decided instead of being covert I should make haste before the Circle responded.
"Will be there in five minutes." With that Elliott hung up.
…
"So, you want me to give them a ride to Blossom Cake city" stated Elliott, looking at Simon and Connie.
"Not just them but also my uncle, aunt, Ronnie and Jackie." Nobody related to me was safe in sky blossom city. As for Susan, I needed her here.
"What happened? You seem more spooked than usual." Asked Elliott.
"The Circle is behind my parent's death?" That was enough and Elliott's face also hardened understanding the gravity behind this matter, "Then you should also flee with them."
"No, I have lots of work here. Besides, I am pretty sure Circle won't openly act against me." I could say this because now I knew why the circle went to such lengths to kill papa and mama Wyatt covertly under the guise of a mission.
"Okay, I hope you know what you are doing." Elliott did not try to argue because he knew no matter what he said it would not change my mind.
As Elliott agreed, Karen looked towards the room where Chris, Amanda and Maya were hiding and said, "Master Wyatt, I thought we were friends?"
