Throwing Jaya's arm back at her, I turned to Van and ordered, "Van, help these two fools heal their arms."

"Master Wyatt —" Diana wanted to protest in panic, misinterpreting me asking Van to heal her arm back as me not willing to forgive her. But I interrupted her before she jumped to a conclusion.

"Don't compare me to the likes of the circle. My way of handling things is different. We will discuss your punishment after you are whole again. Now shut up and get healed." I made it clear to Diana that my ways of doing things were different from the low lives in the circle.

"Thank you, Wyatt." Jaya sincerely thanked me.

"..." Diana just nodded in agreement. Ignoring her, I turn to the Beautiful girl who doesn't throw up.

"Susan, I think this negotiation is getting a bit above your recommended PG ratings. Why don't you take a break?" Susan has come a long way from being a sales executive. But she had minimal experience as a card apprentice to partic.i.p.ate in conversations about Fine Gold and the Circle. Therefore, I recommend that Susan be better off by not partic.i.p.ating in the next part of the negotiations.

"..." Susan shook her head, saying she was fine and could handle it.

"Good, then I make appropriate arrangements." I went ahead and a.s.sumed Susan's shaking head as a nod of agreement, proceeding with arrangements to send her out here. So, summoning my grimoire, I made a call,

[ Calling Ident.i.ty Loon..]

"Hey, what is it? You told me I could take a day off today." Disgruntled, Corey answered from the other side of the call.

"Your mother needs your help." Ignoring Corey's dissatisfaction, I announced the purpose of my call.

"That joke is not funny. My mother is at Way Beyond, fighting for her people." Corey's voice turned cold, finding my words offensive towards her mother, who served at the Way Beyond.

"Not her, you idiot, your other mother." I rectified Corey before she misinterpreted my words further.

"Fock! Are you calling my father a cheat? Wyatt, if you are looking for a fight, you got one, buddy. Tell me where you are right now. I am going to whoop your a.s.s." I felt sorry for Corey. Feeling that G.o.d had played a cruel joke on her. He gifted her everything but a brain to use those gifts.

"Calm down, you dimwit. I am talking about Susan, your mother from another life." I explained my last statement to Corey to avoid further misunderstandings.

"What happened to mama Su? Is she okay?" Corey's mind hurriedly jumped to the worst conclusion. She is not to be blamed cause I don't call if it is not urgent.

"Will you stop a.s.suming the worst? Shut up, and let me finish. Susan has non-existent experience as a card apprentice, so I thought since you are free, would you be willing to take her for a dungeon raid? Nothing high profile, raid low-level dungeons so that her stomach gets strong enough to handle gore situations." Before Corey made any other conclusions, I hurriedly explained the purpose of my call to her. This time around, I didn't spare any detail.

"Sure, are you guys at the warehouse?" Corey enthusiastically agreed to my proposal.

"Yes. And you guys can use TSR guild dungeons." I offered Corey low-level dungeons of the TSR guild to use. After all, all the city-owned low-level dungeons should be reserved for next month.

"No need, ask Big Sis Susan to dress appropriately. I will take care of the other arrangements."

…

Corey hung up the call and turned to face Oliver Bright, her uncle. Getting bored in the sap, Corey visited her uncle at work.

"What is it, my little ancestor? Do you need this uncle's aid with something?" Feeling his niece's gaze, Oliver offered his help without being asked.

"Uncle, reserve a few low-level dungeons for me. I plan on raiding them today with a special friend of mine. I will go fetch her, and please make sure to be done with all the preparations by then." Corey ordered her uncle without the care for him being her elder.

"Sure, my dear niece. And what about the technique uncle asked about earlier?" Oliver had his reason for being docile to Corey, than usual, her method to forge an ego gem. Right now, in the Bright family, except for a few in the elder generation, Corey and her parents were the only descendants that forged an ego gem. Oliver planned to b.u.t.ter up Corey and get her to tell him how she forged her ego gem so quickly.

Ever since Corey's battle in the tournament, it had become evident that she had forged an ego gem. And her status in the family had risen by another level. Now family members did not fear her just because she was the favorite of the patriarch and Matriarch. With the prowess she had displayed in the school tournament, she could easily be ranked in the current top 10 superpowers of the Bright family.

"Here's the breathing method card I picked somewhere. It should help speed up the process." Corey wanted to help her uncle more, but she couldn't as she, herself, did not know how to forge an ego gem. She had a t.i.tled demon core that people seemed to mistake for an ego gem. Fortunately, Corey Park had a few common-grade basic techniques from the Dark realm that could help her uncle a little in soul energy refining.

"Turtle's dream! You are the world's best niece ever." Holding the card, Oliver praised his niece enthusiastically. If not for the desk between them blocking him, he would have smothered her with a bear hug. The effects of the Turtle's Dream breathing method were better than the Basic Circulation technique commonly used by card apprentices to refine soul energy. Oliver finally understood how his niece was able to forge an ego gem.

After admiring the card scratching the back of his head, Oliver asked Corey, " Dear niece, do you mind if I use the copy card to make copies of this card for other family members?"

"Sure, go-ahead. I don't mind. But won't that be costly?" After the constant begging of Oliver, Corey had finally created a common grade card using Corey park's memories to get him off her back. She did not think this card was worth the fuss.

"No, my dearest niece. Despite its fantastic effect, this card is of F-rank and common grade. Our family can afford a bunch of F-rank and common grade Copy Cards." Oliver took out a stack of Copy cards from his grimoire and showed them off in front of his favorite niece.

"Excellent, create a copy of Turtle's Dream for my friend." Corey regretted being too lazy and not creating a second Turtle's Dream card for Susan, but now her regret vanished.

"Sure," Oliver wanted to keep the Turtle's Dream card a family secret, but since it was Corey's property, he chose to follow her instructions.

"Don't worry, uncle. I am not stupid. This friend is special to me, and she can keep a secret." Feeling her uncle's worries, Corey a.s.sured him that this was a one-time thing. And there would not be any leaks.
