"Haha, kid, I like you. Which family do you belong to? Wyatt family? Never heard of it. Are you from another city?" I did not expect the power-drunk Rami to take a liking to me. But I guess he says the exact words to every young genius he meets. Considering that the Blossom district is a third-rate district in the southern region, this doesn"t happen a lot.


"No, I am an orphan. Born and raised in Sky Blossom City." I answered him as I sat on the couch across from him. Meanwhile, Van and Diana stood behind me. Making it clear who is incharge of the three of us. This was necessary as, considering my young age, people tend to underestimate my role.


"Now, I like you even more. You run a card boutique. Boy, tell me, how does an orphan of your age own a card boutique which happens to be the parent of a guild and a company?" Rami asked, gazing into my eyes.


"And here I thought you were eager to complete the exchange and send us packing." I pointed out that it was Rami who asked us to spare the useless chatter.


"Hahaha, Boy, you got guts, or have you grown ignorant because of your small success. One call, and I can close your tiny card boutique." The sudden change in Rami"s speech did not surprise me. Like all arrogant p.r.i.c.ks, Rami was the type who wanted to make it clear that he was the alpha dog in the room.


"Oh, really. I dare you to do it." Hearing my provocation Diana who was standing behind me, gasped in fright. Because she knew that Rami did indeed have the connections to make his claims happen. But my words did not surprise her. After all, we are here to coerce him, not make friends.


"Hahaha, it has been quite a while since I have been challenged." Though Rami laughed, his eyes remained fierce as she said these words.


"Really? I think you are the wolf who spent too much time surrounded by sheep and forgot what it is to be in the company of a tiger." It felt good taunting a card overlord. Not to mention one who held a lot of authority in Blossom District.


"..." Rami did not respond to my taunt. He closed his eyes as if meditating. I used my soul pupils to check, and it turns out he wasn"t meditating instead waiting for his bodyguard to finish the call he threatened me with.


The atmosphere in the VIP room had grown tense, especially for Diana, who did not know what was happening. As for Van, unlike Diana, he had complete trust in me, and he kept his guard up in case of something unforeseen.


After a minutes, the bodyguard who made the call stepped out of the shadow. Surprising Diana and Van. But he showed no malicious intent. Instead, he whispered the information he found in Rami"s ears.


"You are the fraud who is in the news these days and have the protection of the southern emperor. No wonder you dare to be c.o.c.ky in front of me." Rami spoke after hearing the information collected by his lackey.


"c.o.c.ky? Hey, you are the one who said who can shut down my small card boutique with a phone call. I am still waiting." When it comes to the background, I had a stronger one than Rami Kaga. However, it was a bit lacking in terms of actual authority.


"Humph! I think we are done here." Saying that, Rami stood up to head outside. No matter how arrogant he was, Rami knew he could not touch something protected by the southern Emperor who dared to ma.s.sacre her step-sister and step-sister"s entire family.


Once I knew that I could not use my calamity daughter gem on Rami, I planned to leverage Van and his blood elixir cards to the Blossom District card a.s.sociation in exchange for Rami"s cooperation with my plans to destroy the circle in sun blossom city. But seeing how arrogant and prideful Rami was, I knew that there was no way to negotiate with this man as he was the type who s.n.a.t.c.hed what he desired from the weak and gave the strong what they asked.


Rami Kaga was too drunk on his authority as the head of the Blossom District medical card a.s.sociation therefore, he wouldn"t consider negotiating with people in a lower position than him. If I had to get him to accept my terms, I had to show him that I was not afraid of him or his job. But who knew that me being involved with the southern emperor would scare him off.


"Grandpa, I am here." A silver-haired teenage boy entered the VIP box just as Rami headed towards the exit. Seeing his grandpa heading out, he asked, "Grandpa, you are leaving already."


"Yes, an urgent work just came up. We have to head home early." Replied Rami. His tone softened as he addressed his grandson.


"But grandpa, my work here isn"t done yet. The card boutique I visited was closed. It seems I will have to revisit it tomorrow. How about this, why don"t you head home first? I will return once I am done here." The boy argued.


"Boy, your mother will kill me if I left you alone in this third-rate city by yourself. Don"t argue, and let"s head home." Rami"s voice turned stern.


"No, I will stay. I will only leave after visiting the card boutique." The silver-haired teenager was adamant and did not budge to his grandpa"s persuasion.


"Boy, don"t make me call your mom." Rami knew how to intimidate others, but when it came to his blood, he did not know what to do. And directly reached for the big guns.


"Go ahead. That way, I can tell on you too. You promised mom that you would play with me for two days. But it hasn"t been a day, and you are already bailing out."
