Location- Central Region, Capital City, Baylor Mansion

"Since you asked," Kelvin sighed reminiscing the past, and then with a heavy heart opened up about the thing weighing his mind as Degimgod Baylor asked him to, "It is about my illegitimate daughter Kathy."

"What now?" Demigod Baylor was not surprised to hear Kelvin had an illegitimate daughter. The scandal about the Card emperor Kelvin Duskborn impregnating a maid of the Duskborn family was the talk of the capital a few decades ago. What surprised Demigod Baylor was Kelvin bringing up his illegitimate daughter out of the blue. Clearly, they were talking about Kelvin giving him his blessing to adopt his grandson, where did this come from?

"From what I have heard from my family members who visited Ellen's son in the southern region, it appears Kathy is the current guardian of Ellen's son. If you plan to adopt him you will have to talk to my second daughter Kathy about it," Kelvin announced despite knowing that what he said wasn't true. Kathy wasn't Ellen's son's guardian but Kelvin hoped this way Kathy could share Ellen's son's luck to use Demigod Baylor to overcome the disaster clouds hovering toward her.

"Ellen was in touch with her step-sister?" Sansa asked Kelvin. Sansa had long known about Kelvin's illegitimate daughter but she left her alone as her existence never crossed Sansa's mind. But now with Kelvin's reminder, the name Kathy was added to Sansa's fun list.

"Yes," Kelvin answered. And turned to look at Demigod Baylor, awaiting his response. Though Kelvin's hands were tied by Duskborn family rules he was still an old fox who had reached the card emperor realm. He knew a thing or two about manipulating people to get his way. All, he wanted was for Demigod Baylor to take Kathy under his asylum along with his grandson.

As for Demigod Baylor, he was thinking about how to convince Kathy to let him adopt Ellen's son as his own. He did not plan to get his way using his demigod status, if he had such a mindset he would have forced Ellen to marry him instead of letting go of her and helping her find her love.

"Uncle, tell me about Kathy," Demigod Baylor planned to get to know what kind of person Kathy was, and then depending upon his findings he could think of a strategy to convince her to let him adopt Ellen's son.

"Kathy is a very independent and smart girl. From a small age, she started living for others. Her mother would often fall ill and the poor girl grew up with the responsibility of taking care of her sick mother. After her mother… if Ellen hadn't reached out to her… sigh, that's all in the past. As for the present, Kathy's study on dungeons has been recognized by the Morning Star university and they have offered her a job, she starts working there in three months," Kelvin as a doting father had a lot of good to say about his second daughter but remembering the hardship she had to face because of his incompetence was painful for him so he directly skipped to her current situation.

"..." Sansa was surprised to hear that Ellen had helped her step-sister achieve her dreams despite her own difficulties, but still she did not let her hate for Ellen show on her face and maintained a neutral but impressed expression on her face.

"Uncle, what is going on? Please don't use these tricks with me. Considering your circumstance I am willing to look past this. But you have to come clean, tell me what's going on," Demigod Baylor suddenly questioned Kelvin. Yes, he was trusting but not a naive fool to believe everything. If his memories serve right Ellen's son was a legal adult, so there was no need for him to ask Kathy permission to adopt Ellen's son. He could directly ask the boy, yet Kelvin brought up his illegitimate daughter into this, there that to be a reason. Demigod Baylor was willing to help Kelvin but not be used by him. Out of respect for the past, that they shared together, Demigod Baylor was willing to look past Kelvin's little harmless scheme.

"Sigh," Hearing Demigod Baylor, Kelvin let out a sigh and shook his head in helplessness. Seeing this Demigod Baylor said, "You could not trick me back then neither could you now. Not to mention I am no longer a rookie card emperor working under you but a demigod."

"Yes, yes… cut a break for this old man for trying, alright. You know how it is, I cannot bad month my own family, right?" Kelvin said appearing to be helpless.

Seeing this, Demigod Baylor let out an elegant smile and said, "Since when did that ever stop you from complaining and bad-mouthing your family, Captain?"

"Brat, I remember the first time you saw a supreme being, you almost pissed your pants. And now look at you, you are being hailed as the youngest demigod," Lost in the moment, Kelvin stopped addressing Demigod Baylor politely instead he addressed him as the rookie who had just joined his squad at the way beyond.

"Captain, if not for you, my achievement today would not be possible. So, please tell me what is troubling you," Demigod Baylor looked at Kelvin with worry in his eyes. Yes, he was worried for his captain. According to Demigod Baylor, his captain was the most duty-bound but tragic man he had ever known. In order to maintain his honor, he lost everything and still was but even now this man continues to choose his honor.

"Brat, don't you look at me with those eyes if you don't want to get punched in the face by this old man. I made a choice that day and I will carry both the honor and regret that comes along with it," Kelvin was a card emperor and had the pride of a card emperor he wouldn't let anybody look at him with pity. Especially not his junior.

"Fine, but let me shoulder some of it with you," Demigod Baylor did not mind Kelvin's words. Their relationship was beyond what a hundred words could explain.

"..." Sansa looked at the two fully grown men getting all emotional reminiscing about their past and cringed, she wanted to leave but couldn't. This relationship between her husband and Kelvin was one of the other reasons she did not kill Kelvin. In some way Kelvin was her husband's emotional rock if something were to happen to him then her husband would lose it and scorch the search to find peace in revenge.

"Those bastards, I gave up on my daughter for them, and now they are after my second daughter and grandson," Kelvin cussed out his problem thanks to Demigod Baylor's persistence.
