Chapter 800 Cole's Curse

Date- 2 April 2321

Time- 16:37

Location- Sky Blossom City, Southern Watch's temporary military base.

"Anna, Cole is right. We should not keep the client waiting. Let us head to the warehouse." I said before Anna could oppress Cole any further.

"Thank you, master Wyatt, for understanding." Cole Wilson, the son of Wilson had to be polite to an orphan teenager not because he is humble, how can a humble person make it as a black marchent? The orphan teenager had the grace of the southern emperor and royal family, so he could only be humble to him despite the difference in social status. Wilson considered being humble a necessary part of his job. An arrogant and prideful person would never make it as a black merchant. They deal with a lot of shady customers who welcomed the confidence of the merchant but not their arrogance, it only had one end, the dead end.

"Okay, huddle up," Said Anna, her plan was that she would fly us all to the warehouse, it would be faster that way. Hearing Anna, I could not help but turn to look at Cole, feeling my glance Cole said, "Master Wyatt, I am only a Card Overlord. Not everyone is a genius who becomes a card emperor by the time they are hundred-year-old."

Cole hardly has the patients to practice his active soul control and combined with this average talent, he had recently forged his ego gem and broke through to the Card Overlord realm, even if he could have broken through to the card overlord realm with help of elixirs like the others in similar predicament he chose not to because there is no future for Card apprentices who step into the card overlord realm without forging an ego gem. His family's elixir can help him with the active soul control but not the ego gem forging, so it took Cole decades to forge his ego gem. Unlike Anna and Luna who have inherited the talent of the unparalleled bloodline, Cole their distant cousin was not so lucky, this has been his mark of ridicule in the Wilson family and outside. Being lucky enough to be born in the unparallel bloodline stream but not being lucky enough to inherit it was a curse, which Cole was fully aware of.

But Cole thinks this curse was a blessing because if not for it he would have never been able to find this talent in making money and would be stuck in the old warrior ways of his family. One only knows what they are capable of when they are the most desperate. Right now due to his current abilities, he doesn't need the Wilson family but the Wilson family needs him. So what if he is not a card emperor by the age of a hundred, with the amount of money he makes he can hire an army of Card emperors and Semi-demiG.o.ds. That is when he came up with a weird life motto, 'With enough money one can make the world spin in reverse.'

Was it wrong of Wilson to think so? The family members who grew up with him are now card kings and some were even card emperors and now they were freezing their a.s.ses in the way beyond fighting a never-ending battle with supreme beings. Despite their loyalty and dependence on the family, it didn't care if they lived or died as they were not short of such talents, as, for him, the whole family was dependent on him to make some funds to nurture new talents and hefty retirement funds for those that are injured or the families of those that meet a glorified ending in the way beyond. The bullies that made his life h.e.l.l in his childhood now would walk on eggsh.e.l.ls around him. With a few words, he could change the lives of these so-called Card kings and Card emperors.

Not every card apprentice is a card creationist or a master of any other profession. Take Anna for example, if not for her family she would have to earn her keep by dungeon diving, and to meet her card emperor level requirements she could only raid high-level dungeons. Anna is strong but to clear an SS-rank dungeon alone was simply exhausting and for regular card emperors it was impossible, therefore even though they are of the card king and emperor realm they still need to depend on their respective guilds, families, and organizations. The life of a card apprentice with no other trade to live off of was very hard and uncertain. It is because of these people that the card apprentice proficient in different trades are in demand.

"Sorry, mister Cole, I didn't mean to pry." Though I said that I used my soul pupil on Cole to check if he was telling the truth, he was. Got to appreciate this guy's struggle he made a place for himself where even the mightiest fail.

"Southern Emperor, I cannot come with you guys I want to check on the orphanage. I have not visited it for days." The first thing Cortney planned to do when she regained her freedom was to check up on the orphanage she grew up in. As the one who made it out of the orphanage, Cortney took it upon herself to provide for it and keep it running so that it can continue to do the good work it was doing. If not her who would take care of the cuties in the orphanage. Recently her visit to the orphanage has been very rare because Clown Mask restricted her. Cortney agreed because Clown Mask agreed to take care of the orphanage now that the Clown Mask was gone Cortney needed to step up.

"We are finally going to the orphanage I want to meet the brothers and sisters you brag about, wait will they like Bloodette?" Hearing Cortney was going to the orphanage, Bloodette who has heard a lot of stories of the orphanage from Cortney could not help but yell in enthusiasm and excitement. But soon her insecurities crawled up, Bloodette knows that many humans are disgusted and afraid of her, therefore she only extends her head out of Cortney's body in presence of friends otherwise most of the time she holes up in her body and watches by sharing their senses.

"Of course, they will. After all, you are their elder sister Bloodette."
