Time- 11: 40

Location- Sky Blossom City, Sky Blossom Card Stadium, VIP Box no.1

“It seems I have to create a review board to conduct a half-decade fit City Lords check. How the hell a bunch of demigod worshipers were able to run a monk in my city?” Anna yelled in anger. As the current southern emperor, the entire south region was her property. Meaning the Sky Blossom city was hers.

“…” The Sky Blossom City Lord stood in front of Anna with his head down like a frightened child. The City Lord is in a bind right now, caught between the Southern Emperor and the Circle.

The City Lord had to choose between the Southern Emperor and the Circle. Any sane person would choose to side with the Southern emperor, the ruler of the south but the City Lord did not seem to consider that option. He knows the culprit behind the demigod worshiper incident was the Circle but he did not rather could not report that to the Southern Emperor as betraying the Circle would cost him more than his life. As the Circle had gathered evidence of all the atrocities his predecessor and he had committed as the City Lords of their time. This is the reason the City hall never interfered with the business of the Circle.

“Damn it, Answer me. Are you dumb?” Anna was getting annoyed by the unresponsive City Lord, she felt like she was talking to a rock. So, she yelled in anger, as she caught him spacing out instead of answering her.

“No, Your Highness.” Finally getting a question which he could answer, the City lord hurriedly answered Anna.

“No, what?”

“No, I am not dumb your highness.” The City Lord hurriedly explained himself.

“You shit, who made you made you a city lord. The city was attacked by the demigod worshipers and as the acting City lord, all you have to say for yourself is you are not dumb.

A demigod worshiper of the card emperor realm was lurking in City skies. If I was not here today he may have destroyed the entire city to get what he wants.” Anna was frustrated and satisfied with the City Lord.

“How can that be possible? the city array did not report any anomaly.” The City lord exclaimed in surprise hearing Anna’s claims of lurking card emperor. The city array spoken by the city lord is one of the defensive arrays of the city which helps them detect if there are any high realm card apprentices hiding in the masses.

“Are you calling me a liar?” Saying that Anna summoned her grimoire and threw a Severed head and a Platinum grade grimoire on the City lord’s face.

The city lord did not dare to dodge the incoming severed head and grimoire, instead, he scrutinised the severed head and exclaimed, ” Oh my god, it’s the Cloud Emperor Claude. How dare those illiterate demigod worshipers send a card emperor to a third-tier city? They are ignoring the treaty art by our ancestors. Do they want a war?”

“Shut up you fool! My forefathers were the ones that step the treaty do not need to remind me that. As for whether they want war or not is not for someone as lowly as you to decide.” Anna snapped at the City lord. According to the treaty higher realm card apprentices are not allowed to step into the low tier human settlement. In a third tier, City like the Sky blossom city the highest realm allowed for Card apprentices was Card Lord. If a card apprentice breaks through to a higher realm he/she would be asked to move to a high tier city of his/her choice with a considerable amount of compensation.

Seeing Anna get angrier the city lord hurriedly got on his knees and bowed his head banging it on the floor, “Thank you your highness for your saving grace. If not for you millions of lives would have been lost due to my lacking leadership and skills.”

“You Kiss Ass, enough of your flowery words and report me why didn’t the City array detect the presence of a Card emperor in the city skies? Hasn’t the High command been sending you enough yearly grants for the maintenance of City defences and Arrays? Or are have you not been putting the grants for their intended purposes?” Anna’s patience was running thin. The only reason she was entertaining this fool was because of the achievements of his ancestors who were part of the army that helped her ancestors free the southern region from dungeons and monsters and make it inhabitable for human settlements.

“No, Your Highness. The City defences and Arrays are the reason we are able to step up the city in this forsaken place. This slave does not dare to play with the lives of millions of people. As for why the City array did not work? I can not tell you anything concrete yet. Once the Card Creationist Association has looked into it I will report to you, your highness.” The City Lord knew that Circle was also involved in this but he choose not to report it and help Circle cover up their mess. Right now is quite afraid of have deep did the circle infiltrated the city. He always believed City hall and Card creation association were still not tainted by the Circle but it seems he was wrong.

“What fuq can you do? You better report me something useful before I decide to make an example out of you?” Seeing the City lord be so tight-lipped Anna deduced that the city lord was covering for somebody. Which angered her even more, how can a master not be angry seeing her family dog be loyal to a stranger than her.

“Your Highness, one thing I know for sure is that the demigod worshipers are so desperate enough to send a card emperor is related to that boy, Pax Whiteburn. Not only did they try to kidnap that boy twice but today the Whitburn family alone was attacked by demigod worshipers.” The City lord recalled his take with Ted earlier in the morning and hiding the part about Circle he revealed the rest using Pax and Whiteburn family as a scapegoat.

Pax and his Sisters who were enjoying the display of Anna’s might along with me suddenly froze. By now if they did not figure Anna’s identity they would be fools. Seeing their brother and family being thrown under the bus by the city lord the Whiteburn sister felt goosebumps raise on their entire body especially when Anna glanced towards them with her intimidating gaze.
