Elliott was emotional, just an hour ago he was blaming himself for being too hopeful even though he was living a life of despair and now he was presented with a choice to become an average person and maybe even more than average.

He did not know whether to just be satisfied with being cured or he could even have hope for more in his life.

Ever since he started to gain an understanding of his surroundings all he remembers is peoples pity for him, but he did not need their pity he was the first son of the Jk groups chairperson,

So what if he is cursed with brittle bones,

He is not a victim for them to pity but a symbol of never dying fighting spirit he could accomplish more than what they will ever accomplish in their entire life.

He proved it when all hope for his cure was lost as grimoire and cards could not help his condition, he did not forswear to sit in despair but decided to gain the respect he deserves by climbing to the top of his fathers company from the bottom against all odds and ridicule.

So Yes! He can have hope for more in his life, better yet he will fight for more in his life and all he had achieved till this point was the proof of it.

Mr Wyatt could you tell me more about this second choice you are talking about

If it was some other client who had asked me for more info, I would just say either they had faith in me or not. If yes then blindly follow my lead, if no then dont let the door hit you on the way out.

But Elliott was different, not because I took pity on him but because I wanted to check if it was possible to rectify and modify a gene. I know normal cards can not but the origin cards were different as they become part of the card apprentice and would upgrade with their increasing realm.

I had created origin cards for three people till now Susan, Debra, Jaya and I did not inform my plans about their origin card before the creation. I would ask them what kind of card they wanted and then I would surprise them with the origin card.

Elliotts origin card creation for me was very important because his origin card creation was a practice run for my second origin card.

Mr Elliot, unlike other Card creationists out there I prefer not to involve the clients in my plans for their origin card, I can only promise you a 99% success rate and to give my 100% to provide you with the best card I can think of for the type of origin card you asked for within your budget.

Mr Elliott, how much is your budget? my labour is not cheap. I only said 99% rather than 100% to not attract unwanted attention, but not because I was afraid or ashamed of sounding narcissistic and full of it.

99% success rate good I chose to trust you, Mr Wyatt. As for the budget, my entire life savings.

Well, How much is it? I need an estimate to work with.

Could you help me with that, Mr Wyatt? Saying that Elliott summoned his grimoire and activated his storage trunk card and opened the trunk with his mental energy.

Thud!

Click!

Upon seeing inside the trunk I was greeted by 15 s.h.i.+mmering blue jade bars placed neatly in a 35 formation and next to an incubator containing a 30cm blue egg.

Soul Jade! I recognised those blue jade bars, they were the soul jade only found in the core of the dungeons and the actual currency of the Card apprentices.

But I did not recognise the egg, since it was placed besides 15 soul jades it must be expensive. Showing his net worth Elliott recalled the storage trunk.

The whole room went silent with Elliotts show of wealth.

Mr Elliott, this wont do. I dont mind you paying Wyatt with soul jades but we can not pay for ingredients using soul jade. it would be a huge loss for both you and us. Susan broke the silence by reprimanding the prodigal s...o...b..in front of us.

I know Ms Susan I am rich but not that rich, this is just the price I am willing to award Mr Wyatt with depending upon how satisfying the origin card he created for me is.

As for the ingredients budget I have 500 million dollars in my account and a 7 billion dollars trust fund under my name.

Now Mr Wyatt, Let me ask you how much do you need? Said Elliott, glancing at me with a provoking smile.

Fu

While Elliott was busy showing off his wealth Corey was wondering Are Soul jade bars expensive, grandma gave me 100 of them as a reward to cultivate my active soul control when I became a card apprentice. I still have 97 left, maybe I should gift some to mama Su big sis Susan and give back the rest to grandma.
