Location- Southern Region, Southern Academic city, Teleportation Port.
“Port Keeper, I apologize for my behaviour earlier. Could you tell us the connecting teleportation array to reach Sky Blossom city in the least amount of time?” Barnard apologised to the Port Keeper under his uncle’s threat.
“There are no connecting teleportation arrays to reach Sky Blossom city, your highness. In the southern region, we still depend on the floater for all transportation purposes. I can arrange a floater for Sky Blossom city if your highness desires.” The old Port Keeper replied to the best of his abilities. In the central region teleportation arrays are used as means of public transportation so it makes sense that they have a connecting teleportation array there but in the southern region teleportation array is a luxury that only the top leaders of the city or provinces can afford. Therefore, floater vehicles are more common in practice here.
“How far is the Sky Blossom city and how long will it take for us to reach it with the best floater vehicle you have? ” Barnard asked patiently. He blamed himself for coming to such a dump.
“The journey from here to Sky Blossom city will require about 26 and a half hours but our best and fastest floater can shorten the time to 4 hours.” The Old Port Keeper answered to the best of his knowledge.
“What? 4 hrs by then they would have killed that brat. Instead of a rescue and retrieval mission, this will become a corpse retrieval mission. If the enemy is kind enough to leave a complete course.” Hearing the old Port Keeper Barnard frustratedly speculated.
“Send me the detailed map, we will travel on our floater.” The older dignitary ordered the old Port keeper.
“Yes, your highness.” The old port Keeper did not delay and summoned his grimoire to scan the older dignitary’s grimoire QR code and share the map but to his surprise, the dignitary summoned a diamond grimoire. The old Port keeper thought that the dignitaries were if card overlord or card king realm at best but it turns out one of them is a Card Emperor with Diamond grade grimoire. Coming to this speculation the old dignitaries’ faces became more serious and respectful.
Receiving the Map from the port keeper the Older dignitary summoned a luxurious hovercar. Getting in both uncle and nephew headed towards the Sky Blossom city at the fastest speed possible.
“Uncle, can we make it in time” Barnard knew how important this rescue and retrieval mission was, if only they had received the news earlier they would not have to race against the time. But there was still hope as his great uncle’s car was custom made with an engine that runs on a card emperor’s soul energy. Not to mention the other acceleration and speed enhancement cards maybe that could make it. Now it all depended on that brat the longer he holds on the better are his chances of survival.
“It’s no longer about whether we can make it or not but we have to make it. If we lose this boy then our family will be the biggest joke of the central region. You better be prepared, recusing the boy is not my concern but his retrieval. I do not think people will keep watching and just let us transport the golden goose to our family.” The uncle seemed to have other concerns than Barnard.
“I do not understand, didn’t the old man say that the whole city and the southern emperor is out to kill him.” Barnard did not understand what his uncle meant by recusing the boy as not his concern but the boy’s retrieval was.
“The Heatsend family will not kill him until they have fully mastered the art of mass-production of the silver milk powder. As the creator of the silver milk powder, his insight is very important in the mass production process. The creation of a single product and mass-producing of the same product are two different things. And the only person who is well versed about the product is that boy so the Heat send family will not kill him until they are sure they do not require that brat anymore.
That boy knows that too, that is why he dares to participate in a tournament whose existence’s sole purpose is to kill him. The Heatsend family wanted to use this tournament as a means to scare the boy and control him but that kid saw right through their intentions. Haha! As expected of someone with our bloodline.” Barnard’s Uncle dumbed it down for him. Understanding the Uncle’s reasoning, Barnard was happy that he would not fail this mission. But he was also surprised because he had never seen his uncle praise a younger generation so much, not to mention he has yet to meet that boy and he is already singing his praises.

Dalton Wyatt vs Kimble Wang
“I saw your last match and yesterday’s video, you’re nothing special. I do not know what this fuss is all about, that your life is worth 2 false relics. I just think the Circle has gotten too fat, stealing from the city for decades now. Anyway, more for me. I will kill you and take the false relic bounty on your head afterwards, win the first place and get the other false relic as a reward.” Kimble Wang who appeared mysterious at his duel during the first round now was very talkative and it appears his ego was heart knowing that I was worth 2 false relics and he was worth none.
“All the best. I hope you do know that if you want to kill someone you better be prepared to die.” I just reminded Kimble that he was not the only one who could kill the same goes for me too.
