"Okay" I agreed uninterestedly as the person Kathy was here to meet and beg forgiveness from had already caught a bus to the afterlife as for me I did not care. The sooner she left the better I thought. 

"For the love of god could say something other than agreeing to everything uninterestedly. Can't you see I am talking about something important here? It's one thing for students in my class to nod blankly while hearing my lectures but you… I am your aunt and godmother, learn to listen to your elders when I am talking to you." Kathy snapped, it took her a lot of courage and preparation to confront her fears and come clean to her nephew. He did not get angry as she accepted him to, nor did he seem to care about the fact that he had an aunt/godmother. She feared getting hurt for being blamed and hated by her nephew for not reaching out earlier. Also prepared her mind and her heart for it but it turns out there was something worse than being blamed and hated that is to be not recognised and not taken seriously. 

"Are you done? If so please please show yourself out. I have work to attend to." Why was I being cold to her? It was simply because I did not know her and I did not want Mama Wyatt's sister to be targeted or worse used by my numerous foes. 

"No, I am not done. How could you say that to your long lost aunt who came to reunite with you? You are my last living relative. I won't leave you no matter what." Kathy always thought that it was not her fault that she was born poor but it would be her fault if she died poor until her only relative and support, her mother died. In her pursuit of proper education and career, she ended up neglecting the only thing precious to her in this world. Now she thought that it was her fault that she was alone in this big cruel world.

When her half-sister reached out to her, she forgave her partly because she came bearing gifts and mostly because she did not want to die alone riddled with anger and regret. Therefore for her internship, she chose to live close to her sister. Unfortunately, she was late but she still had one last relative who she did not want to lose no matter what. It did not matter if her nephew did not recognise her as his aunt she still resolved to fulfil all her duties as an aunt and godmother. 

"The person you are looking for is dead. I'm not the one you're looking for*slap*" I said truthfully but was slapped. It did not hurt due to my thick viltronian skin but my mind and heart were jolted. Soon I felt my head buried between two enormous soft jellos. 

"I know these past two months have been a lot and I cannot comprehend what you must have been through. But I have also been through a similar experience that you are going through now. Your mother helped me through it and I will do the same for you please trust me I am here for you and will always be there for you." Kathy mistook my truthfulness as me showing first signs of suicidal tendency, resulting in her slapping me to gain my attention and a warm hug to assure me that I was not alone in this. 

I honestly don't know what to do because everything I said somehow was being misinterpreted by Kathy. Fortunately, Susan returned from running brands from me. And interrupted Kathy's kinship.

"What's going on here?" Susan asked with a plain expression and blank eyes. 

Seeing Susan Kathy hurriedly let go of my head from her bosom. "Susan met my aunt, Kathy" I hurriedly explained to Susan so that her mind does not cook up unspeakable fantasies about me and my aunt.

Susan was having a hard time believing since as young as Kathy to be my aunt but once Kathy explained Susan finally showed a relieved expression and happily chatted with Kathy. 

"So you must be Wyatt's boss no wonder this brat wanted to work so enthusiastically." Kathy directly complimented Susan and implied that her nephew was a hormone controlled teenager. 

"No, I am not his boss, he is my boss." Susan explained shyly understanding what Kathy was hinting at.

"What? How can a 17-year-old be your boss?" Surprised Kathy could not help but ask.

"I run a card boutique, she is the card boutique manager and my exclusive auction manager." I explained to Kathy and asked Susan, " how was your meeting with Martha? Any results"

"Yes, I will forward you the list. But Martha does not recommend using an old-gen floater system to build a hoverbike as they are very lacking compared to the current-gen floater system." Narrated Susan as she forwarded me the list given by Martha. 

"You are serious. You are a card creationist" Exclaimed Kathy, to which I summoned my golden grimoire and said, " not just any card creationist but a golden grade card creationist." 

Seeing the golden grimoire Kathy's eyes shined brightly as she said, "I came here to talk you out of entering tomorrow's tournament but seeing your strength in the afternoon against the Bright trio and now knowing you are a golden grimoire holder I changed my mind. But you have to promise me that you will give up when it becomes life-threatening." 

"Sure" I assured Kathy and began checking the list forwarded by Susan seeing that I am genuinely busy Kathy decided to take her leave. 

Going through the list I found many old gen floater systems meeting my current requirements to create an armour nanomorpher but when I compared the efficiency and performance of an armour nanomorpher formed using an old-gen floater system with armour nanomorpher formed using a new-gen floater system. 

The result was very obvious: armour nanomorpher formed using a new-gen floater system surmounted the old-gen one in every possible test I could think of. But l still went with the old-gen floater system as after my upgrades they performed similarly to any other new-gen floater system powered hoverbike in the current market.

Though I can auction better armour nanomorpher formed using a new-gen floater system but the money used to purchase the floater system copyright would be cutting into my profits. Since both armour nanomorphers formed using old-gen or new-gen floater systems would sell for approximately the same price I decided to go with old-gen. Susan's auction audiences were young ladies and dames who do not see the performance or efficiency of the hoverbike; instead, they focus on the design, colour, style, fashion etc. 

After creating 3 armour nanomorpher cards formed using an old-gen floater system I handed them to Susan one for her and the other 2 for auction. All I need for Susan was to let the armour nanomorpher card gain enough popularity and set it up as an exclusive product of my card boutique. 

… 

Done with the preparation for the auction I could finally focus on tomorrow's tournament. Before the tournament started I needed to recruit one person to solidify my position among the upper echelons of Sky blossom city and in the hearts of the general public of sky blossom city. This one was going to be hard but if I had to survive tomorrow's death web that Anna's mother had knitted for me then I had to do it. 

"Van, Fred.." Using Hive AI I contacted Van and Fred.

"Yes, master." Reported Van, after him Fred reported "Yes, master." 

"Meet me at the St. Raymond's Cemetery. I will be leaving now." I ordered as I head towards the Cemetery on my hoverbike.
