Shortcuts are good but they will cost you your future, Wyatt. Instead of listening to the shameless old man pus.h.i.+ng you in the wrong direction, why dont you ask him what it will cost you in the long run by making use of the severed head. Just as I was guessing the intent and motives behind the old mans words Corey spoke up. She intervened to advise me not to make use of the severed head and called Lorenzo a shameless old man. Susan who was next to her was fidgeting hearing Coreys bold words. While I was surprised that Corey stood up to help me as I thought she hated me for hogging Susan, her fantasy mother.

Little girl, I think you misunderstood my words. I am asking him to use the severe head to create cards, not use it on himself. Before I could speak up, Lorenzo spoke and did not seem to be offended by Corey addressing him as a shameless old man.

Old man, you know with his current realm Wyatt can only use golden grimoire and A-rank cards at best. Even if you create a perfect card from the severed head it would be at least of myth grade and AA or S rank, which are useless to him.

You sly old man, you just want him to take the severed head from Anna so that you get your hands on the severed head under the disguise of helping him create high-grade cards. Corey once again rudely referred to Lorenzo as an Old man and began to explain her claims.

Corey, thank you but can you explain what is happening here? I already knew that Old man Lorenzo was planning something. Coreys words confirmed my doubts. According to Corey, the old man pushed me to accept Annas offer in the promise of gaining the ability to defeat card overlord and card king because he wanted to get his hands on the severed head in disguise of helping me.

No need to thank me. After all, we are all friends here. And I could not stand the sight of the old man shamelessly trying to take advantage of you. Coreys words raised another alarm in my head and it became clear to me that Corey was not here to help me but herself with her following words, How about this, you take the head from her and sell it to me? In exchange, I will help make four rare grade cards using the head

*cough* little girl, this old man is just doing this to make a living for himself. Cut me a little slack will you. Hearing Corey offers 4 rare grade cards in exchange for the severed head, Lorenzo spoke up.

Hehe old man, that thing will be a waste on somebody of your level and age. Greed is not a good shade for your age. Why dont you let this junior handle this matter if it was old Corey she would not know how priceless a card emperors intact head was. But thanks to Corey Parks memories Corey would not let go of the chance to get her hands on a severed head of a card emperor.

Haha, little girl do you have the qualification to make 4 rare grade cards using the severe head. Before making such bold claims you should show your capabilities. Do you even know what a card emperors head is worth and how to refine it? Even though the head is just a carca.s.s it still is a card emperor carca.s.s you sure you can handle it. The old fox Lorenzo was not someone without some tricks up his sleeves.

Eternal Flame of agony

*swoosh**cry*A dark red flame formed on Coreys palm from which dark smoke formed in the shape of a human head with hollow eyes as it let out weird wails and cries.

Old man, what about now? Do you think this qualifies me to back my claims? Saying that Corey fed more soul energy to the eternal flames of agony intensifying the wails coming out of the hollow-eyed human face made of the smoke.

Little girl, which Ego did you comprehend? Its so evil. Lorenzo was shocked by the eerie flame on Coreys palm, not just him. Everyone in the room was shocked by the sight of Coreys flame.

Does it matter? I have proved my qualification. Now will you scoot, I have a business to attend to. Corey did bother to answer Oldmans question about her flames.

To think that I would find someone who comprehended an Ego fire in a place like this. Little girl you are a genius but I also have a cute genius granddaughter back home who could really use this. So, I will politely ask you to give up. Lorenzo did not hesitate to drag his granddaughter into this. Then he turned to me and said, Wyatt, I will offer you 2 myth grade cards made using the severed head. You decide whether you will take 2 myth grade cards or 4 rare grade cards in exchange for the severed head.

Fuq, these people are treating me as a countryside illiterate. Right now my pride was hurt badly. These people seem to know something I did not know. And the severed head was at the centre of all of my confusion. If Corey and Lorenzo can give four rare grade or 2 myth grade cards made from the severed head then what do they stand to gain from the head? It must be something more valuable than two myth grade cards.

Old man, what Wyatt needs right now are strong rare grade cards, myth grade cards are useless for the current him. Wyatt I do not have to tell you what you need, you can decide for yourself. Corey wanted to smack the old man on his face for trying to outdo her. If not for her limited realm and grimoire she would have offered 4 myth grade cards made from the severed head.

I agree with you little girl, Wyatt knows what he needs most. After all, he can buy rare grade cards anywhere. But Myth grade cards are hard to come by. I guess it would be wise to choose 2 Myth grade cards over 4 rare grad cards. As he can exchange 1 myth grade card for a dozen rare grade cards. Lorenzo would never let a little girl outsmart him. When it came to conning she was 370 years too late to compete with him.

Babe, I love the confused look on your face its so cute, like a lost puppy. It makes me want to cuddle you to death. How about this I will give you the head if let me cuddle you for a night? before you reject my offer again why dont you use your other set of eyes to examine the head once? Suddenly I heard Annas voice in my head sending me into a state of shock. I was not shocked because Anna could use telepathy but she seemed to know something about my eyes or maybe she is just talking about aura pupils, which I claimed as my origin card.

Heeding Annas words I ignore Corey and Lorenzos blabber and used my soul pupils to see what makes the severed head of a card emperor so valuable that a prestigious card emperor like Lorenzo would stoop so low to dupe a junior such as myself.

As I activated my soul pupils and scanned the severed head, I noticed a small gem in the centre of the severed heads eyebrows. Under the soul pathways of the skin, skull among the soul pathways of the brain I found a small gem of the size of a bean. I focused my soul pupils to check what it was and suddenly my consciousness was dragged into the bean-sized head.

Inside the bean-sized gem, there was an endless s.p.a.ce as my conscious drifted into this s.p.a.ce I saw 6 bright suns in it. each sun had its own different colour, red, blue, green, black, yellow, purple.

My consciousness was drifting towards these suns. Which gave me a huge scare, was I going to be crash on one of these suns. What will happen to my consciousness if I crash in any one of these suns? I did not know but slowly my consciousness neared these suns. And at some point, without me realising I was at the centre surrounded by all the 6 suns. Not knowing what was going on I tried using my soul pupils to examine these suns for answers only to be dumbfounded by the sight that greeted me.
