“Master Wyatt, everything alright? You seem to be in a bad mood.” Said Kane, seeing me return with frowned brows after I hung up on Ronnie’s call.
“Nothing, just an ungrateful and unloyal dog who betrayed its master, unable to withstand the harsh world outside, is begging to return to its master again.” I take betrayal very seriously. If it were someone else, I would have ordered my goons to torture and kill them. Fortunately for Ronnie, his parent’s grace will keep him alive.
I was willing to spare Ronnie for betraying me, considering uncle and auntie Wyatt, but I would not help him from his predicament, even if it meant that uncle and auntie Wyatt’s life would be in danger.
I planned to take this opportunity to cut off all ties with Ronnie and his entire family. I was done cleaning up after him. I did so much for him and his family, but he did not think twice to betray me at the first chance he got to.
I risked my life and saved him from the clutches of Zhang mercenaries. Not to mention the millions of card boutique seed money I had collected to improve my strength were wasted to create low-level cards that would help in the search and rescue of Ronnie from Zhang mercenary’s hideout. After rescuing Ronnie, I barely used those cards. Such a waste of money.
Since he had a child on the way, I decided to buy him an occupation card so that he could make a living using it. Still, he was too lazy for that, so I ended up creating an entire assembly line of meat processors with 10,000 automated mechanical arms with special Butcher AI as his origin card, 10,000 Arm Butcher, despite it costing me a fortune. I did all that despite the risk and zero obligations, but this focker went ahead and betrayed me at the first chance he got without thinking twice.
Though lured by honey, he returned, fearing the stings, and begged for my help. People like this are like cancer. Medicine is only a temporary measure, and cutting them out of our life before it spreads is the best and permanent remedy. Now that I have decided that I had nothing to do with Ronnie Wyatt and his family, I will follow it without hesitation.
Yes, Ronnie promised me to sign a soul contract and become my slave. Still, I chose not to help him because I didn’t want to do so. And also because it is more favorable for him than for me. By signing the soul contract, I will only get what I was supposed to get in the first place. But Ronnie will get out his mess scot-free without paying a penny and thrive latching on to me.
Back on earth, in a wildlife documentary, I saw an interesting article about how hunters find a water source in a jungle. Supposedly baboons inhabiting the wilderness know the location of all the fresh water sources in the jungle. And the hunters make use of these baboons to find the water source.
Baboons’ greed for salt transcends their fear for life, so hunters make a small hole in the tree trunk, place a handful of salt in it and wait patiently. A passing-by Baboon smells the salt, and in greed, it shoves its hand in the hole to get to the salt. Taking the salt baboon’s hand balls into a fist and gets stuck in the small hole. If the baboon has to get back its hand from the trap, all it has to do is let off the salt, but it won’t because it is too greedy for the salt. Due to its greed for salt, it will be stuck in the trap set by the hunter.
At this point, the hunter stealthily moves in and captures the baboon into a cage. Then he feeds the baboon salt until it is satisfied and later releases the baboon into the wilderness.
Now that the baboon has its fill of salt, it feels incredibly thirsty, and once released, it will head directly to the nearby water source, and the hunter will follow the baboon to the water source.
Right now, my case with Ronnie was somewhat similar to the baboon and the hunter. I knew how to make money and survive in the world, like how the baboon knew where to find water and survive the jungle. Ronnie and the hunter had no similarities, but like how the hunter made use of the baboon to find a water source and survive the wilderness, similarly, Ronnie would be making use of me to make money and survive the world if I were to agree to him signing a soul contract.
The Baboon was used because of its greed for salt, and I will also be used if I continue to nature the family sentiment when Ronnie and I aren’t even related. I don’t even know that dude aside from young Wyatt’s memories. Out of gratitude for young Wyatt and his parents, I went above and beyond to help out Ronnie. But was paid with betrayal.
I am glad this happened sooner than later. This way, at least right now, the damage done was within my control. And I had one less responsibility in this world. It is because I considered Uncle, Auntie, and Ronnie Wyatt as my responsibility, I feel betrayed. I guess with this, I can move on.
I may have spared Ronnie, but I did not plan on sparing the Butcher Bob. How dare they try to take something that belongs to me? This meant war. These people dared to steal from me. They better be prepared for what’s coming. But I plan to leave this debt collection at a later date because if I make a move right away, my curiosity will not be satisfied. I wanted to know if Ronnie would cave and betray his baby mama.
