Card Apprentice Daily Log

Chapter 1238 A Sheathed Sword

The Circle, an organization that had taken over the entire sun blossom city in just a matter of days was destroyed in a night. This news came as a huge shock to the whole city and had become the talk of every street, household, and barbershop in the city. People could not stop gossiping about it when only a handful of people knew what actually happened.

Daina Keith, this was the woman I and the whole city had to thank for putting an end to the tranny of the Circle in our city. How do we know this? That was because witnesses claim seeing Fine Gold company's floater vessels led by their chairwoman Daina Keith enter and leave the Circle's headquarters airspace before and after it was destroyed.

Today I added another role model to shape my life after, besides my grandma, it was none other than Daina Keith. Why, you ask? Because of Daina Keith's revenge story. Spoilers, the villain was none other than the Circle. What Daina Keith had achieved despite being born an orphan was inspiring. I want to be just like her and show the main Hill family that I am my grandma's granddaughter. I know they came all the way over to help my family but I just hate the disgusting gaze they look at us with.

Thankfully with the Circle having been destroyed, we no longer needed those guys as for my fated ingredient, I am sure if I speak to the person who has it to hold on to the card till I enter one of the top ten universities he would, considering that he was a reasonable guy if not then I am sure my family and grandma could think of something.

Now the only way my day could get better than it already was, was if the snobs from the main Hill family left, taking the hint that they were no longer needed here. Unfortunately, when we seeked a way out of our predicament by approaching the lesser of two evils we had already sold our souls. The main Hill family did not plan to leave the city without me and my family could not do anything about it neither can I as the goons of the main Hill family were of the higher realm and we started to feel that they had taken my family hostage.

And that's how I end up going to Sky blossom city in search of the card apprentice who had won my fated ingredient in the open auction along with Joe Hill and his goons.

Date- 5 April 2321

Time- 11:24

Location- Southern Region, Blossom district, Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse No.234

"Corey, take your fight outside, I am doing business here," I ordered Corey and did not even spar Joe Hill a glance as I had no business with him and with his card grandmaster realm he was not a match for Corey who was in the Card Master realm.

Listening to my orders Corey raised her hand giving me a thumbs-up sign she yelled, "You got it, boss."

With that Aba, Agatha, Joe hill, and his entourage followed Corey to exit the warehouse and head to Corey's warehouse for a card duel. Seeing this Laura Hill too got up to follow them but I stopped her saying, "Ms. Hill, where are you heading? You do want your fated ingredient, right?"

"Master Wyatt, what do you mean?" Joe Hill stopped in his tracks and asked me.

"Mr. Joe, this doesn't concern you so please go continue defending your family's honor," I shooed Joe knowing that this fellow was up to no good from the movement he used his family name to threaten Susan and me. Before I could discipline him, Corey volunteered to kill him so I decided to leave him be but if he does not know what was good for him I don't mind dirtying my hand.

"Master Wyatt, are you mocking me for trying to defend my family's honor?" Joe yelled at the top of his lung pointing his finger at me.

"O'boy here we go again," Corey sighed exaggeratedly and then added, "Stop wasting my time, I have other work to do."

Corey's words and actions infuriated Joe, this time instead of addressing me or Corey, he yelled at Laura, "What are doing standing there when these guys are mocking our family?"

Laura looked at Joe dumbfoundedly and then helplessly shaking her head she walked and stood next to Joe as he had left behind a few of his goons to watch over her family. She did not know how Joe would react if she were to disagree with him now, therefore she had no choice but to do as he said even if it meant offending the person who held her fated ingredient.

After Laura stood next to him Joe threw a smug look at me before turning to glance at Corey adding, "Let's go."

Seeing that only I and she would be left in the warehouse if everyone went to Corey's warehouse, embarrassed Susan got up from my side and hurriedly followed them. Looking at her back, I muttered, "Let me see, how long you can avoid me."

Though I had only whispered my thought it seems my voice was audible enough for Susan to hear them, I say this because her speed of walking drastically increased mid-way as she caught up with others.

After everyone had moved to Corey's warehouse, I summoned my grimoire and called Anna,

[Calling Sugar Mama…]

"Look who is calling? Did you miss me already? I thought with your innocent manager keeping you company you would have forgotten about me by now," Anna answered my call immediately but her tone seem to be rather different compared to when I parted with her in the southern watch camp. And why is she bringing Susan between all this, does she know about Susan kissing me?

"Anna, let's talk about what's bothering you later I called regarding a serious business. A family from the central region is trying to pouch a talent from one of your cities," I said so because I used my super brain card to do background checks on Joe Hill and Laura Hill, only to uncover a juicy family drama and learn Laura Hill's secret.
