Chapter 308: Dog’s Nose
Date- 27 Mar 2321
Time- 15:02
Location- Sky Blossom City, Card stadium, Arena no.2
[Semi finals, Dalton Wyatt Vs Corey Bright, Arena no.2]
The stadium was cleaned and fixed within the time for the semifinals. The number of arenas in the stadium was reduced to two. But the size of each arena had increased considerably. The idea was to loosen the rules binding the participants from displaying their true strength. And also to give a good show for the angry audience who paid a lot for the tickets for this tournament. Receiving the details for my next fight I head to Arena no.2, on my way over my grimoire sounded a message notification from Lion King bank,
[$25,000,000 has been transferred to your Lion King bank account ending with XXXX from the Account name Kevin Zhang.
Massage: Big bro, I was wrong and have withdrawn my deathmatch challenge to you effective immediately. I know this money is not enough makeup for the things I and my gang did to you and to solve the grudges between us. But I hope this money is enough to buy me a chance. Therefore I have already skipped the city, promising you that I will not appear in front of you ever again.]
Kevin Zhang, I and he rather young Wyatt and he have a very deep grudge. And not to mention that fool dared to challenge me to a Life/death match. Now that dumbass skipped town and withdrew the deathmatch challenge between us. Can he do that? Is that even allowed?
Was it the viral video of the fight between my second form Stone Viltronian and Nick’s Mountain Giant? Was it that viral video that scared him silly into fleeing? I guess all his gangsta stuff was just for show.
But if he thinks the grudges between us are over by giving money then he is wrong, very wrong. He is the murderer who killed young Wyatt. Not just him, his nephew and his ruffian gang each one of them is equally responsible for young Wyatt’s death. So, each one will pay dearly for their party in young Wyatt’s death.
Does he think skipping the city will keep him safe? Then he is wrong. I wanted to kill him on the 30th, the data he picked for his death. But now I will have to prepone his death. By running he has only moved his death closer. So what if you will never appear in front of me? I will appear in front of you.
And what the fuq does he think of me? For him to think that $25,000,000 would tempt me to spare his life. Does he believe that $25,000,000 is enough to gain him a chance to live after the day to day torture he put young Wyatt through? Only I who had gained young Wyatt’s memories know what he had been through. He was only 17 for god sake… 17-year-olds are supposed to be worried about the wet dreams they are having about their math teacher and not be paranoid that they could be jumped on by gangsters any second.
Do you know what it’s like to be in constant fear and unable to trust or rely on anybody other than yourself? It led to insomnia and finally suicide in young Wyatt’s life. Until these fuqers Kevin Zhang, Ben Li and their underlings experience this they cannot die. As death will be a mercy for them compared to what I have in plan for them.
[Van, Kevin Zhang has skipped town. Send capable guild members to haul his fleeing ass back. Not just him, his nephew Ben Li and all his loyal subordinates. Gather them all in one of your guild’s dungeons. It’s time they paid for their crime.]
Using the Hive A.I, I informed about Kevin skipping town to Van and asked him to gather Kevin and all the people working for him in one of the TSR guild dungeons. Dungeons are the best place to handle dirty laundry without being disturbed.
Throwing Kevin Zhang and Vengeance to the back of my head I climbed Arena no.2 where Corey was already waiting for me with a smug smile. Seeing me she sniffed the air like a hound and with a surprised expression, she said, “I am surprised, how did you forge a core in just 2 hours?… Having a card emperor girlfriend seems to have its perks. But it’s still not enough for you to defeat me unless you transplanted all the broken runes from the severed head. If you did that then I would say nobody is more foolish than you.”
“Hold on, back up. How are you able to tell that I have forged my Ego Gem by sniffing the air? Do you have a dog’s nose?” Talking with Anna I discovered my new and bizarre things. But seeing Corey being able to sniff the air and tell me that I have forged my Ego gem was the most bizarre thing I have seen. How did she do that?
“Close, I have something better than that. Don’t get confused, I could tell by smelling the scent of the world on your soul which has connected with the world recently. Your soul did not have this smell earlier.” Corey did not seem to mind me calling her nose dog nose. Instead, she took it as a compliment. But the important thing was trying to clear my confusion. She added more confusion to my mind.
“My soul has the scent of the world? What do you mean? Does the world also have a scent? What does the scent smell like, is it pleasant or..?” If what Corey said is for real, then this would be my most bizarre discovery to date. What does she mean by the scent of the world? Is the world like a flower that gives out its own fragrance?
“Are you dumb? The world is not your garden flower to give a pleasant fragrance.” Corey referred to the ability of her card by saying she could smell the scent of the world on me but I took it literally.
“If not pleasant, then what does the world smell like? Is it pungent or musky?” The misunderstanding was not my fault, if Corey had just said that she knew I forged my Ego Gem because of her card then there would not be a misunderstanding, to begin with.
“Are you messing with me? I was planning to make your defeat a little less humiliating. But it seems you will not have your lesson to not mess with me until I give a proper lesson.” Corey was angered by my sarcasm. But I did not care. As this was just the start I was going to teach this girl not to mess with Daddy Wyatt.
“Oh yeah, bright it on. FYI, I am a strong supporter of gender equality. So do not expect me to hold back.” I am a guy who has no problem dealing a dropkick to a female opponent.
“What do you mean? Is it supposed to be funny? I don’t get it.” Corey did not understand my words. I forgot this world is a true example of men and women equal rights but it’s still getting comfortable with the idea of equal rights for LGBTQ. I bet with strong demigods like Redfall this will also be soon in practice.
“Forget it…” moment has passed and its air has turned awkward. Thankfully the referee came to my rescue,
“Contestants ready”
“3.. 2.. 1, fight!”
*crack* *crack* sound of Corey cracking her knuckles filled the arena after the referee commenced the card duel,
“Well go ahead, summon your grimoire and your best card?” Said Corey cracking her neck.
“Sure…” I did not hesitate to summon my grimoire because I would be a fool to underestimate Corey after all the extraordinary things I have seen her do and say.
“Ready or not here I come” yelling that Corey accelerated towards without summoning her grimoire. Nearing me she threw a punch at me.
“Have you gone mad? Wh…” seeing Corey try to fight me with her bare fists I was surprised and considering my viltronian physique I did not take her punch seriously and tried to grab her punch. For somebody who said I would not underestimate Corey, I did a huge blunder. Mystically Corey’s incoming fist evaded my arm and landed on my face
*Boom* sending me flying across the arena and in a second I had already crossed the arena bounds. Thankfully I was still suspended in the air and flew back at high speed heading for the stadium wall. Gathering my thoughts I used the Viltronian flight to break my fall and returned to the stadium bounds in a blink of an eye.
“Hehe” Corey just sneered at me who was looking at her in great astonishment. What the fuq is happening here? Corey didn’t even summon her grimoire. How is she able to exert this much strength? How much force is that little fist of hers packing? Thanks to my physique I was able to withstand it otherwise I would be hospitalised for sure.
