“Fock! They no longer possess the strength to scream. Without the screams, this has no point and has become unsatisfying. How do I know if he is enjoying it or in pain? Boy’s heal the uncle and Nephew duo for another round. As for the rest, send them to a good hospital. If they manage to survive, let them spend the rest of their life telling tales of today.” I did not have to torture Zhang and his nephew personally. But the eerie fog that covered my soul when I possessed this body and rebirthed in this world which I thought to have dissipated with my promise to it, somehow resurfaced when faced with Kevin Zhang and Ben Li. Its grievance influenced my emotions. In a rage, I ended up beating the duo senseless.
Having its fill, the eerie fog turned calm. Then it dissipated as if it never existed in the first place. I do not know if this will be a problem in the future. That’s not a problem for now. Let’s think about it once I have fulfilled the promise I have made to it. I hope it keeps its end of the pledge and leaves me when both its wishes are fulfilled. Fulfilling two desires for a second life was a good deal, and I do not regret doing it.
“Wyatt, are you done? I am bored.” Having lectured Luna on how to make friends, Cortney returned feeling bored.
“Yes, I am done with them. Before I kill them, do you want your turn on these scumbags?” Cortney showed interest in beating these two scums earlier, so I asked if she wanted a go.
“How about skinning them and leaving them hanging in the dungeon?” Hearing Cortney, the powerless body of Zhang which had just gained consciousness, fainted in fright.
“I think that’s a bit inhumane, don’t you?” Getting revenge, I was okay with it but skinning someone and hanging them in the air like hanging a piece of wet cloth to dry was just inhumane, and I did not want to be any part of it.
“Nope, I have seen people do that. Once you do that, nobody will dare to cross your path. It’s all about leaving an impression and setting your tone.” What did Cortney go through to be so inhumane and naive at the same time?
“Sorry, we are not doing that. Van kill them after another round of beat down and bury them in the dungeon.” I gave orders to Van regarding how to deal with Zhang and his nephew.
“Yes, Boss.” Van agreed.
“Here, take this and share it with Sarah, Frank, and Pablo.” I handed a storage trunk card containing four Calamity Daughter Gems to Van and asked him to use one and pass the rest to Sarah, Frank, and Pablo, respectively.
“Thank you, Boss.” Thanking me, Van stored the card in his grimoire.
Apart from Young Wyatt’s revenge, this is the most important reason why I did not go to the Heatsend Royal family directly. After sowing a calamity daughter gem in Clown Mask, I used the Hive AI to analyze the difference between a calamity daughter core and a Calamity daughter gem. Turns out there isn’t much difference in terms of physical strength and soul energy, but the host of the calamity daughter gem seems to have gained the ability to connect with the world. That is to say, the Calamity daughter gem acted as an ego gem for its hosts.
This shocking revolution made me think of the infinite possibilities I could use this ability of calamity daughter gem for. But I could only come up with one option, and that is to upgrade all my subordinates from the Calamity daughter core to the latest and advanced Calamity daughter gem. The ability to use rules and forge runes would give my subordinates a massive advantage over the others.
This is also why I decided to go to war with the Circle after learning that they had regrouped in neighboring Sun blossom City. No matter how many members the Circle may have but against the enemy with the ability to control rule power. They were doomed to perish. Thinking about this I cannot wait to go to war with the Circle.
In a short time, it would be hard for all my subordinates to forge their runes even with the help of calamity daughter gem. But I could always share a few broken runes with them. This is the additional effect of the calamity daughter gem as an ego gem. The calamity daughter gem can store broken runes without affecting its host. Like me, my subordinates do not have to be worried about the disadvantages of using a broken rune as the calamity daughter gem takes care of it by enslaving the spirit of the broken rune.
This buff was well and good, but it was too damned expensive. I am hardly able to collect broken runes for myself. How do I get some for my followers? I can only hope that Luna is willing to pay some down payment for the large order she plans to place.
Considering Luna wanted to create an Army equipped with mecha cards. Then she would order at least 50 -100 mecha cards. Regarding the payment, we haven’t talked about it yet. But I have made it clear that I wish to be paid in terms of broken runes. I was yet to receive a payment for the beast mecha cards I created for the demonstration. I did not bother to ask Anna for the payment because she had already given me six broken runes. I am shameless, but when it comes to someone I own favor to, I try to be genuine. That is the least I could do. Because if not for Anna’s gift, I could not have been able to stage my death against card emperor level assassins or won first place in the tournament.
