'Wyatt, what just happened? Who were those people? What do they plan to do to that man?' Agatha's mentally asked me about the sin squad. Before the sin squad acted to retrain Cheng, I had asked Agatha who was hiding in my shadows to stay put and not attack the suspicious men who were about to kidnap Cheng.
'Those people are my goons, they handle my dirty laundry for me. And that man that you show concern for, James Cheng, is on the circle's take. My goons will have a heart-to-heart chat with him so that he will not make use of the city array to help the circle when my forces attack the circle's headquarters tonight,' I had stressed to the sin squad to be very discreet while using the calamity daughter gem on Cheng to avoid Agatha's suspicions. First, the sin squad will beat him up real good, and then they will feed him a health potion laced with calamity daughter gem.
'I see, so you have done your homework. It is good to know that you are not just charging in head first blinded by vengeance. This way I will not have to worry about you failing and me cleaning up after you fail,' Agatha was not new to this, so she did not have an opinion of me having my men attack Cheng as long as I had a valid reason for it.
Agatha was necessary for my protection, I still vividly remember what happened at card stadium's VIP box during the tournament. That dreadful mask-like creature nearing me without anyone noticing and the numerous card emperors pouring out of it, that moment I still remember as in that moment I was so close to death that I felt it breathing down my neck, had it not been for my soul pupils and calamity soul gem, I would have died on that day.
By now Sansa should have gotten the news of me still being alive and that her men were not able to finish the job they set out to do. Now that I have left sky blossom city, it would be the best time for Sansa to send her assassins again, considering that they failed last time, this time around those guys will definitely stick around to make so that I stay dead. Though I can see through enemies' stealth, I did not have the strength to resist their power or escape them. Therefore I wanted a capable semi-demigod on my beck and call, act on my command to immediately engage the incoming invisible enemy or flee with me. Hence at the risk of some of my secrets leaking I had to go ahead with executing the first phase of my plan. With the first phase of the plan taken care of, I had to look forward to the results of the second phase of the plan.
Speaking of the second phase of the plan, recruiting the yin-yang harmony sect's disciple, Roy had already returned to the circle's headquarters and had handed over the calamity daughter gem to the maid whom he had just recently recruited to my calamity daughter gem army.
According to the maid, the yin-yang harmony sect's disciple was very cautious by nature even though she has been attending to him for about a week now he doesn't seem to have lowered her guard towards her. Hence she had no other opportunity to use the calamity daughter gem on him until dinner. She usually delivers him his dinner by eight in the evening which means the success of the second phase of the plan will not be certain until after the yin-yang harmony sect's disciple has had his dinner at eight in the evening.
So while I am waiting for the maid to execute the second phase of the plan, I decided to make most of the newest member of my calamity daughter gem army, James Cheng, the head of the card creationist association of the sun blossom city.
Asides from the nine energy sword cards and summon armament card I had bid on many different cards that could help me in tonight's fight or will make a good addition to my card arsenal. Either way, I had my heart set on these cards but did not have the patience to keep strolling around the venue, checking to see if anyone has outbid me on one of the cards bid for. That's where James Cheng comes in, he will assign his staff to each of the cards I bid for to place a new bid for the cards in case someone outbids me on one of those cards. This way my bids will always be on top and will be the winning bid allowing me to procure all the cards I bid for seamlessly.
'Master,' Cheng mentally greeted me as soon as he caught up to me walking out of the washroom. I nodded my head and mentally ordered, 'Act normally as if nothing changed and address me as master Wyatt in presence of a company.'
'Yes master,' Cheng agreed to my order, and his expressionless face grew a pretend gentle smile that he had on his face earlier when he strolled the venue with me.
Then I walked towards the center of the VIP venue where Eliza and Lucy must be waiting while mentally giving Cheng instructions to use his authority to help me win the cards I bid for using the staff of the card creationist association.
Now that the first phase of the plan was achieved and since Cheng was going to help me procure the cards I bid for, I had no other reason to be in the auction house, so I planned to say goodbye to Eliza and had back to my lodging, wait for Roy and the maid send a report on the success of the second phase of the plan.
"Ahh…"
"Don't touch her, let go of her,"
"Dessert Cannon activate,"
