“Hey, old man. Call that bookworm here. We need all hands on deck.” Anna knew the card emperors she sensed earlier were only here to reckon the situation surrounding Wyatt. Now that the enemy knows that 4 card emperors are protecting their target they will try to attack them with more headcount and stronger players because normal card emperors are not a match for her and Lorenzo’s prowess.

“What? She is busy conducting her research. How can she possibly get her in time?” Old man Lorenzo’s heart jumped out of his mouth when Anna asked him to involve his granddaughter in the upcoming fight.

“Don’t act. Knowing her she must have followed you here once uncle introduced silver milk powder to you guys.” Anna knew her cousin well. When it comes to hunger for knowledge, she is an exact copy of her grandfather. There is no way she would sit back having seen something so miraculous as the silver milk powder. She must have followed her grandfather to verify and research silver milk powder.

“I am telling you, she is busy conducting experiments. There is no way she can make it here in time. Besides, she is just a little girl and she will be of no help to us.” Old man Lorenzo did not want his darling granddaughter to partic.i.p.ate in a bloodbath that is about to come.

“She has your teleportation card right? Call her and ask her to bring some reinforcement.” Anna clearly remembered Old man Lorenzo gifting his rare long-distance teleportation card awarded to him by her grandpa to her Cousin.

“Aren’t you forgetting something? Her long-distance teleportation card only lets her teleport to the places she has been to and recorded in her grimoire. Besides, she is just a little girl and she will be of no help to us.” Lorenzo reminded Anna that his granddaughter’s teleportation card was useless for their current dilemma.

“Fine, I will find out if you are lying. Know this if you lied to me. I will lock you up in a dark room and have you create cards for the rest of your life… rest of your term of employment. And that bookworm is not a little girl. If you hadn’t broken her arranged marriage she would have made you great-grandpa decades ago.” Having warned Lorenzo, Anna looked towards the card stadium and strengthened her connection with Mark she had left on the back of Wyatt’s head and then contacted her subordinates.

Anna knew that the upcoming fight was not about defeating the enemy but protecting Wyatt, so she made it her priority and then came enjoying the fight. As long as she and Lorenzo were able to protect Wyatt till her reinforcement arrived then it was her victory. Placing Wyatt in trusting hands, she can let loose and enjoy the carnage that is to come to her satisfaction.

“Yes, sweetie. What is it? The experiment was successful… Good. Yes, I have met the creator of the silver milk powder. You want to meet him too… That will be a problem because he is busy now. How about I set a meeting between just the two of you? Yes, that is possible. Who do you think your grandpa is? Anything for you, sweet pea. Timings? Tell me what time you prefer, I will arrange the meeting then. Tomorrow morning it is then. You head home first, grandpa has some work with your cousin. Let’s meet tomorrow morning. Bye.” While Anna was busy calling for reinforcement. Old man Lorenzo received a call.

The call was from Lorenzo’s beloved granddaughter informing him that whatever experiment she was conducting was a success. And she would like to come to visit him to meet the creator of silver milk powder. But was rejected by Lorenzo arguing that Wyatt was busy and promised that he would set up a meeting with Wyatt for her tomorrow morning. He did not want his granddaughter to be involved in the upcoming battle, so he made sure she did not come to him. Lorenzo was not lying, Wyatt was indeed busy partic.i.p.ating in the tournament semi-finals.

“You, son of… call her back, call immediately before she uses her teleportation card and ask her to meet us here. How dare you lie to me” Anna who was calling for reinforcement, seeing Old Man act suspiciously, receiving as he answered the call she eavesdropped on him. She did not trust this old bat. He was loyal, very loyal but when it came to his granddaughter his loyalty was questionable. And she was right to eavesdrop on the old bat was even though he did not lie he hid that fact that she was conducting experiment somewhere nearby and could reach them to a.s.sist.

“Technically, I did not lie to you. She was indeed busy conducting an experiment…” Lorenzo was trying to buy some time so that his daughter could leave using the teleportation card. Once the card is used it enters a cooldown period and cannot be used. So his granddaughter cannot be involved in the upcoming battle no matter what.

“Pick up, Pick up…” realizing Lorenzo trying to stall for time. Anna called her cousin herself before it’s too late.

“Hi, Coz. It must be very urgent for you to call me.” Anna’s cousin answered the call. She was a little surprised that Anna called her because since their last fight neither of them has talked to each other.

“Luna, where are you right now? Did you return using the teleportation card?” Anna did not waste time talking nonsense with her cousin and directly went to the point.

Right now Anna hoped that her cousin did not teleport and leave because even though she was confident in her and Lorenzo’s strength, she was worried what if the enemy would be ruthless by attacking the city or worse use the city to negotiate with her. Anna was confident of protecting Wyatt but protecting the whole city at the same time was a difficulty of another level.
