“Here! Congrats on breaking through to the Card soldier realm” congratulating me Elliott handed me a golden grimoire. His intentions couldn’t be clearer. He wanted to check if I was talented enough to upgrade my silver grimoire to a golden one.

“Thank you! So you noticed earlier.” I pointed out.

“Yes… awe!” Seeing Elliott trying to hog her credit Karen pinched his waist. Rubbing his Waist under Karen’s forced smile he confessed, “Earlier your body did not have a hint of soul energy as if it was sucked out of you… so none of us noticed it but Karen did and confided in me later.”

“You did not have to get me this though…” even though I said that I moved the golden grimoire to my grimoire’s card creation page and checked whether I could upgrade my silver grimoire to a golden one. And it turns out I can, no surprise there. I knew I could as the Viltronian human core could strengthen a card apprentices latent talent.

“I was able to contract a gold grimoire and wanted to check whether you too were able to or not.” Beamed Elliott, he seems to be in a good mood. Even though Karen claimed her relations.h.i.+p with Elliott was nothing more than an employee and an employer relations.h.i.+p, the way those two conducted themselves in the presence of company of other people anyone could catch their lie or do they act like this just in front of me.

“No wonder you came so early, I bet you weren’t able to sleep all night after this thought crossed your mind.” Though Elliott had missed the golden period of his card apprentice journey, he did not let it kill his comparative spirit, but still ‘You dumba.s.s if not for me giving you a human core, you could never contract a golden grimoire or climb to the peak of the card soldier realm by just equipping your origin card… unlike you, I am not narcissistic enough to lord it over my friends.’

Just to shut him up I closed my eyes, poured my mental strength into the grimoire creation page and began upgrading my silver grimoire to golden grade right then and there. The upgrading process is very simple, my silver grade grimoire would devour the masterless slumbering golden grade grimoire. It did not require me but I still watched as the Golden grade grimoire slowly dissolved and disappeared in the creation page of my grimoire. And slowly a golden light emerged from within the grimoire as it slowly converted the silver grimoire to golden grade until finally the grimoire was glowing with golden light and it spread to my skin, now my entire body shone with a light golden glow, indicating the successful up-gradation of my silver grimoire into a golden grimoire.

As I was about to withdraw my mental strength from the grimoire creation page, it was dragged deeper into the grimoire into an illusion, Mama Wyatt’s hidden recorded message to be accurate. Soon the surreal image of mama Wyatt appeared as it began narrating the recorded message,

“Congrats son! On the successful up-gradation of your grimoire to golden grade before turning 19-years-old. Now you can be considered a genius and the pride of your generation.”

“I am sure by now you must have met your aunt Kathy. Though she is very young she is indeed my blood sister and you can trust her. Follow her to the Morning Star university.”

“I know you must have uncovered some truth about me and your father’s deaths by now, please stop digging further into it… I know you want to avenge us but living a happy life is the most satisfying vengeance you can get us, please don’t waste your life in search of vengeance. It won’t bring us back, instead, it will make me and your father very sad, son.”

” Remember son, don’t let our early departure be the end of your life as you know let be a new beginning to a better life! Your life!”

This time Mama Wyatt’s message was a bit lengthy but necessary, it was no normal recorded message but a conditioned recorded message which would only be delivered when young Wyatt can upgrade the grimoire to golden grade before he turns 19 years old. It seems she spent most of her remaining energy recording this message to stop young Wyatt from walking on the path of vengeance and self-destruction.

Most importantly, who is this aunt Kathy? I never met her. She is Mama Wyatt’s trusted sister. Considering that this message was for young Wyatt nearing 19 years old, I guess she has yet to appear. But considering it’s been 2 months since mama and papa Wyatt had pa.s.sed away this aunt Kathy is taking her sweet time and seems a little irresponsible. ‘Mama Wyatt, are you sure I can trust her!’

No parent is going to leave their child without enough prior preparation and insurance in case of something tragic. But unfortunately for the Wyatt Family, the person they trust their child with never appeared leading to another tragedy and my rebirth. The more I got to know about young Wyatt’s life the more depressed I was. And thought that I would be happy to have occupied the body of a sc.u.m rather than an innocent kid.

Having upgraded my grimoire, I and Elliott walked to the Whiteburn manor gate where a crowd was waiting for our arrival. Today morning when I asked Elliott to inform uncle and auntie Wyatt that we will talk later on our way to visiting papa and mama Wyatt’s grave, he took it as me inviting him to visit my parents grave leading to everyone misunderstanding that I invited them to visit my parent’s grave along with me. Susan, Corey, Pax, Beth, Amy f.u.c.k! Even Eliza was accompanying me and the Wyatt’s to my parent’s grave.

Thankfully Elliott had taken care of the FIR against Ronnie and the missing person case of Jackie, power and wealth works wonders in these kinds of situations than the hard truth. But there still was a bounty on Ronnie’s head. It would not be easy to get rid of the bounty without the consent of the one posting the bounty. But still, the new entourage of Elliott had enough security to deal with any threats. Since Ronnie will be living in J.k group housing in future the bounty did not seem that threatening compared to the security of the J.k group housing.

“Elliot, Eliza… before heading to the graveyard, let’s make a quick stop near my neighbourhood.” Except for Elliott and his new entourage who had their transportation arrangements, the rest of us were all taking the transportation arranged by the Whiteburn family.
