"Let me ask you guys, I defeated about 2 dozen Bright Lion members and an undead scorpion a few days ago. What made you think I could not deal with you guys? Was it your new realms and cards?" I was really curious about what made them think they could mess with me, was I too lenient last time. 

All gang members looked at each other as if coming to an understanding they all looked at Bert and ratted on him, "It was Bert's idea." 

They all shouted in unison and then surprisingly Jason began explaining, "One of my friends saw you at the teacher's Lounge and warned me into hiding. I was about to do that but Bert, who was next to me at that time, thought to use you as a stepping stone to climb ranks and gain more resources in the Bright Lions gang." 

It seems the Bright lion gang has a merit system in place for their members, the merits can be obtained by introducing new members or making some achievements. With enough merits, the gang members could buy anything from new cards to hours at the Active soul control cultivation chamber. 

Bert thought that defeating me with an ambush would be quite an achievement after all I had defeated one of the founding members of the Bright Lion gang. These fuqers thought that defeating me could gain all of them enough merits to exchange an hour at the Active soul control cultivation chamber. 

"Bert dear, crawl next to me." Seeing Bert hesitate I said, "I can turn the paralysis permanent you know." 

Hearing me, all the 11 members looked at me with shocked expressions, as for Bert he crawled next to me in haste. In this magical card and dungeon world, there are cures for many things which could be considered miracles back on earth. But these miracles also cost a fortune, these fellows were from working-class families who could not afford these cures. As for the Bright Lion gang they did not have a medical plan for their members. 

"Okay listen up, I will give you guys a chance of redemption. As your leader, Bert has decided to solely bear all the punishment on your behalf. As for his punishment, all 10 of you will slap Bert with all your might one by one until I am satisfied. So who will go first." Hearing me Bert's face paled and he hurriedly shouted, "I never agreed to that." 

As for the other gang members who were hesitating at first after hearing Bert's word no longer hesitated and one of the quick-witted ones summoned his grimoire and activating a physical reinforcement card he crawled next to Bert hurriedly and slapped Bert before he could even react. Thankfully Bert was of higher active soul control % so he was able to bear the reinforced slap. Soon others followed that guys lead, even Jason. It seems choking on his blood last time in the class had left a significant trauma on him. 

I was surprised by the cruelty of the gang members, I guess if this continues even Bert's parents can't recognise him. Seeing that Bert would not last long under repeated reinforced slaps I had to ask them to not use their physical enforcement card. I had other plans for these people for which Bert had to last longer. Just as the gang members continued to slap Bert I received a call from a person I never expected from, Anna Heatsend.

[Southern Whore calling… Ans/Reject/Ignore/Reply]

At first, when I knew what had transpired after my transaction with Anna I wanted to call her and give her a piece of my mind but seeing her plan show results she will only be delighted and not to mention that she can teleport. I decided against calling her instead took my anger out by changing her name in my contacts. 

I thought over the possible reasons for Anna calling me right now and I could only come up with one reason. She was calling to gloat and ask me to return half or all of the royalty in my hand. I could just ignore or reject her call but I was in her fuqing territory, I could not avoid her forever. She might even give me a personal visit which would be a lot painful than just answering her call. Finally, I decided to answer her call…

"You motherfuqer, you dare to cross me. Are you not afraid of death." It seems she is not going to be civil I guess. 

"Wrong number"

I did not respond to her curses because either way, I would be the one to pay dearly. So I decided to just hang up on her. But from her words, it became clear to me that she too found about me screwing her over just now.

Considering Anna's intelligence and lacking experience she would never be able to execute such an elaborate plan to kill me without triggering the soul contract. And with her personality, she would find me or call me the moment she finds out that I had screwed her over.

[Southern Whore calling… Ans/Reject/Ignore/Reply]

[Answer] after reading Anna's message I was left with no choice but to answer her call. 

"A.hole you dare to hang up and ignore my calls." Yelled Anna.

"Anna I have decided to give the government my patent in exchange for sanctuary and protection." I was not helpless but I did not want to use it and agitate whoever was behind Anna. But I am not the one to remain silent while being abused.

"You dare!" Threatened Anna.

"I dared to cheat the whore emperor, now you tell me if I would dare or not." Whore emperor lost to Southern Whore when I decided to change Anna's contact info in my grimoire. 

"Haha, I am starting to like you more and more Wyatt. How about becoming one of my sugar babies?" Anna laughed and started to hit on me. 

"..." Upon receiving an unexpected answer from Anna I was left speechless. 

"Nobody dared to screw me as you did, I want to see if can screw me harder." Anna no longer made sense to me. But this made it clear to me that Anna was not the one who put a target on my back.

"Who was it that made me a walking target?" I asked Anna, I was not sure if I would get an answer.

"My Mother, she just visited to praise my idiocracy and congratulate me on my blander." Replied Anna in a self-mocking tone.

"Wait! your mother is also a Card Emperor." If you want to scold your card emperor daughter you have to be card emperor, I was not surprised after all I guessed Anna had a big background but a card emperor mother and daughter pair I would have never guessed this.

"No, Card Demigod. Not just her my uncle and grandpa are also card demigods. My grandmother will also achieve divinity soon." Anna detonated a bigger bomb. 

"Fuq!" A Card Demigod family, I was shocked are demigods as common as cabbages now. what did I get myself into? No, not me it was Elliott. Right now I wanted to gut Elliott for his screw up.

"My offer still holds good." Reminded Anna.

"What offer?" I still had not processed the fact that Anna had about 3 demigods backing her. No wonder she was able to become the commander of the southern watch and dared to have a monopoly over the production and supply of silver milk powder. 

"About you becoming one of my sugar babies?" Repeated Anna. 

"Hell no!" There wasn't the slightest hesitation in my words.

"How about my husband, not only am I willing to give you a monopoly of me but this way my mother may no longer target you." Explained Anna, her offer sounded tempting but it had obvious holes.

"What's the point of having a monopoly over a cave frequented by all snakes in the southern region." I did not try to hide the scorn in my words. I was not worried about Anna's wrath.

"Believe it not I will teleport to your warehouse at night and force myself upon you." Joked Anna, but her joke did not sound like a joke to me. 

"I believe you therefore I am no longer planning on sleeping there." I was seriously considering sleeping in a coffin like the Dracula, it was the best way to keep away any women even the sluts. If a coffin doesn't turn her off then I could just lock myself in it.

"Enough jokes, do not let my mother or any other organisations know that your planning to exchange the patent for governments protection then even I will not be able to protect you. If not for the soul contract between you and me, you and people close to you would have already been killed or kidnapped by various organisations for the patent in your hand. In a way, my family is protecting you and as well targeting you. Don't screw that up."
