“I am sorry your majesty, as my wife, said, I’m happy where I am.” Ronnie rejected Agatha’s proposal, there are two reasons for that. The first was because Jackie preferred him to work for his cousin and the second was because he was too weak. The incident with Butcher Bob’s men was a once-in-a-lifetime lesson for Ronnie that the strong have no obligation to keep their promises to the weak. Agatha’s intentions for him were clear, she wants to use him. If he were to agree to her today he will be her slave for the rest of his life. Ronnie wouldn’t mind being a slave if it meant Jackie and his unborn baby were can be taken care of but he knew Agatha has no obligation to protect him, his wife, and his unborn baby.
But the same was not true for his cousin, Ronnie felt so because his cousin had saved his life twice even though he didn’t have to and had asked nothing in return. As for the capability of his cousin compared to a semi-demigod? Since the said semi-demigod was waiting in his cousin’s warehouse then it couldn’t be an overstatement to say that his cousin was a capable person too.
“Fine.” Agatha was taken aback by being rejected by a card student no less. Her pride as the semi-demigod didn’t allow her to try and negotiate with Ronnie. Now all her hopes of starting a business venture in monster meat processing depended on Ronnies’ cousin whether he can create regular cards similar to Ronnie’s origin card or not.
“Thank you, your majesty, for understanding.” Ronnie replied humbly thinking, ‘Cousin, I have angered this great god trusting you. I hope you come through for the sake of my unborn baby.’
“…” Jackie who was thinking she was a fool to run away trusting this man of hers, hearing Ronnie resolutely reject Agatha was delighted especially when he turned to give her a gentle but reassuring smile as he said, ‘As my wife said.’ Jackie felt like she was in love all over again. Then she shyly reached out for her husband’s hand and interlocked their fingers together.
Feeling the warmth from Jackie interlocking her fingers with his, Ronnie couldn’t help but let out a satisfied smile thinking, ‘Women are so easy to please.’
“…” Agatha noticed the little action of the couple and couldn’t help but feel disgusted. Annoyed and irritated she wanted to leave the place before she showed her ugly side to her princess but when she turned to look at the warehouse entrance she noticed a fat figure enter the warehouse.
“Hello, is this Master Wyatt’s card boutique?” Cole asked looking at people in the warehouse.
“Yes, it is. Master Wyatt is not available at the moment.” Jackie got up and hurried to greet the customer. Surprising Ronnie, Aba, and Agatha who knew that Jackie didn’t work here yet she acted too professionally enough to fool them into thinking she did work here.
“Huh, I see.” hearing the pregnant receptionist Cole couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Clearly I took the longest route here so why are they late? Damned fucking couples.’ Thinking of a certain steamy possibility, Cole couldn’t help but cuss every couple in the world.
“If you don’t mind me asking, How may I address you and what is the purpose of your visit? You can leave a message but if it is urgent you can wait. Master Wyatt may arrive any minute now.” Jackie said looking at the overweight customer who seemed to be lost in his thoughts.
“I am Cole Wilson and I have already spoken to Master Wyatt, he must be arriving. Please don’t mind me as I wait for him.” Said Cole politely as he headed to the couch.
“Sure, would you like water, tea, coffee, or cold drinks?” Jackie offered Cole beverages.
“Just a glass of plain water,” Cole answered.
“Splendid,” replied Jackie and headed towards the kitchen to fetch a glass of water for the customer. Jackie remembers the layout of the warehouse from her stay here in the past, nothing much has changed.
“…” Reaching the couch Cole was shocked to see Agatha and the little girl next to her. If he couldn’t recognize them then he has failed as a black merchant.
“Cole Wilson, greets her majesty Aba Windsor and Agatha Williams.” Cole greeted Aba and Agatha with appropriate eloquence.
“Finally, someone who recognizes my greatness in this dump of a city,” said Aba. She was used to being respected and treated as the center of the party but ever since she came to this city she has met with continuous ridicule and shame. There is a limit to how much a person can take, Anna was a lot. Now that she found someone to satisfy her vanity Aba could not help but get excited.
“Wilson? The vessel family of the Heatsend family,” Agatha asked Cole in annoyance. The reason they were stuck in this city was to train her princess and the presence of someone like Cole was a hindrance to it. So she didn’t really welcome Cole’s presence.
“Yes, your majesty. You are correct.” Cole answered politely suppressing the greed in his eyes. Demigod Windsor and his special ability were a hot commodity in the market. Even if people are willing to pay Demigod’s expensively high service fee they cannot get an appointment as demigod Windsor was a busy person. If Cole were somehow able to gain the confidence of Demigod Windsor then he would have made it a big time as a black merchant. But that was easier said than done. Many people have tried to get close to him, but nobody could approach him, and even if they were able to successfully approach him they could not escape the scrutiny of his special ability. But right now all these hurdles did not exist in Cole’s mind all he cared about was how to use Aba to approach her father, Demigod Windsor. As for the rest, he had to approach Demigod Windsor first to worry about them. Otherwise, they were just useless worries.
