Location- Sky Blossom City, GUild Association Mall, Warehouse no.234
Glancing at the fleeing Aba, Asong sighed and threw a playful glance at me saying, "Look what you did?"
"Me?" I looked at Asong in stupefaction and said, "You forced me to."
"Whatever, now that the truth is out there. The old fossils in the government will take this as an opportunity to give me permanent leave. I still had so much work to do, well knowing that there are capable talents in the future generation such as yourself I can rest assured knowing that you guys will continue my work." Asong sighed.
"Wait, hold up, back up a little bit. Don't throw your unfinished work at us. You can leave when you have completed your work. Your origin card, take it as thanks from our generation to you for your work." All I meant was that Asong could stop sighing as her origin card was going to be the solution to her problem.
"..." Asong looked at the kid and could not help but think where his confidence came from. And then added, "It looks like you guys plan to work this old lady to her bones. Ah, I was looking forward to the permanent leave."
"Well, old-timer, we want to play around for while. So hold down the fort for a little longer, will you?" I said looking at Asong who kept sighing.
"If you put it like that, I have no choice but to work myself to death. But promise me that you will grow up strong and beautiful." Asong did not mind working herself to death if she could save a few more innocent smiles.
"Now that's where I draw the line," I said putting a stop to the cringe. Hearing me Asong burst into laughter and said, "It has been a while since I have been myself. Master Wyatt, you are something else."
"Oye, back off. He is spoken for." Anna butted in feeling that the way her friend looked at her crush was not right.
"Okay, mama bear," Asong said teasing her friend. Anna snorted at her friend's comment but the corners of her mouth raised feeling the moment.
"..." out of everyone in the warehouse, Cole was the one who was excited the most because he was going to achieve the impossible in the world of black merchants, he was going to close the Asong Young account. With this, his reputation in his world would soar by hundred folds. But that wasn't enough for Cole as he had another huge prey set in his sight, Demigod Windsor. With Asong Young and Aba Windsor's recommendation, it would be easy for him to get an interview with Demigod Windsor, and for what came next, it was up to his charm.
"Master Wyatt, jokes apart, can I take your words seriously?" Asong knew she was running on borrowed time and tried to search for a solution for her condition but even in this magical world immortality was still a mystery yearned by all and acquired by none, be it a card student or a card demigod they all had to leave this stage one day.
"I never make promises that I cannot keep," I assured Asong.
"Then I will be in your care," Asong said politely. She has been to many card creationists and heard the kind of origin card they can create with her fate ingredient, but none as bizarre as the card creationist in front of her claimed. Despite her doubts, Asong decided to hire him to help create her origin card because she wanted to check what the younger generation she was fighting to improve was capable of. Yes, she was taking a gamble on the idea she was fighting for.
"Well, then it is decided. Master Wyatt, please name the ingredients that your people cannot find in this city I will get them." giddy Cole announced.
"Thank you, Mr. Cole." Saying that I send the list of ingredients to Susan asking her to go through them and list the ones that she cannot procure even with the help of the Fine Gold.
A few minutes later I received Susan's reply with a list of ingredients that she cannot procure. Going through it I forwarded the list to Cole saying, "Mr. Cole, I will need your help with these ingredients."

Going through the list of ingredients sent to his grimoire Cole blurted out a cuss, "Fuck!"
"Mr. Cole, language." Asong corrected Cole.
"Sorry, Madam Asong but the list of ingredients listed by master Wyatt is very expensive—" Before Cole could finish he was interrupted by Asong reminding him that he should not worry about the cost, "Mr. Cole, money is not a thing."
"I know Madam Asong, but these ingredients are very rare and some of them have never been used as ingredients." The cost of the ingredients did not matter to Cole because the costlier the ingredients were the more money he made through commission. The problem was that most of the ingredients specified in the list were not something he could procure right away because they all were either very rare or only a few of them left, especially the A-rank Hairy triton monster shell and core. Which were used in the creation of extremely rare soul pills that were said to have the ability to slightly upgrade the user's talent by cleansing their soul pathway. Not to mention the B-rank Deep Sea Murex monster shell which is used as an ingredient in the creation of the SSS-rank infinity space card.
There is no way Cole could procure these ingredients at a moment's notice. Because these ingredients were so precious that people would not let the other soul know that these ingredients were in their possession.
