"Where are you going? I wanted to talk with you." I cannot catch a break, done with Luna now, Corey questioned me. Can a man not get his vengeance in peace. I am sick of people interrupting me when I want to think of different ways to torture Kevin Zhang and his gang. 

"I am going to seek vengeance on a few people who deserve it. If you let me, I can get back to it." People say revenge doesn't pay. But I tell them they are doing it wrong. What comes after the satisfaction of getting your revenge, you ask? The opportunity to brag about it. It's like the aftertaste of your sweet vengeance. That's what I am doing right now. 

"Seriously?" Corey thought I was being sarcastic. 

"You can tag along. I will let you watch as I torment them to death" Do you know what makes an act of revenge more satisfying? An audience. Yes, the audience's presence to your revenge makes it more pleasurable and sweeter. If you're going to do something, do it right. 

"No, I will pass. But for your information, I will be working for you as per the wager between us" Corey ignored my edgy attitude and stated her purpose without caring for my opinion. If you are going to do as you please, why announce it to me? 

"This again? Let me be clearer if I wasn't the first time. I free you from the wager between us because I am shutting down the card boutique in Sky Blossom city." I decided to give Corey a reason to back off.

"What? Why? Then what about big sis? She has trusted you. If you shut down your card boutique, what about her? I knew we should not have trusted you. You are a scumbag." Who knew? Instead of giving Corey a reason to back off, I gave her a reason to be more unreasonable. 

"Susan, handle her from me, will you? Also, I will share with you an ingredients list. Could you procure them for me? Let's clear the Liquid spirit gold stock in the warehouse before leaving." I did not have the patience to explain to Corey why I was shutting down the card boutique. So I tapped Susan to handle the trouble named Corey. While I was at it, I also asked Susan to run a few errands for me. 

I had a massive stockpile of Liquid spirit gold dusting in the warehouse that I brought from the Whiteburn family. I planned to use it for the wave of customers that would visit my card boutique after seeing the majesty of NanoMorphers in the tournament. But due to the recent change of plans, I decided to clean out all the stock of Liquid spirit gold to create a bunch of Nanomorpher cards before leaving for the Heatsend Royal Palace. 

"Y…" hearing me order around Susan, Corey fumed and wanted to yell at me but was stopped by Susan. 

"Sure, share it with me, I arrange the ingredients accordingly. And also, I sold all the E-rank women's armor cards yesterday in the auction. As expected, they were a big hit. I have deposited the money I got from auctioning the cards to the card boutiques funds account." Susan affirmed my request and reported that she had sold the E-rank armor cards at her auction yesterday.

"I forgot about the auction. But anyway, Good job. By the way, weren't you at the Card stadium? When did you get the time to organize the auction?" Busy with the tournament, I forgot about the auction and the E-rank armor cards. But Susan, as a competent manager, performed her job magnificently. These qualities of Susan were why I planned to have her manage the card boutique I would be opening in the Central academic city. 

"..." Instead of answering me, Susan put on her usual mysterious professional smile. Seeing that smile, I felt like I could depend on her. 

"You're the Best, see you later." Saying a few words of praise to Susan, I headed out, followed by Luna and… Cortney?!

"Cortney, where are you headed?" I asked her in dismay.

"I am feeling like a prisoner couped up in here. So I decided to tag along with you and watch you get your vengeance. Am I not invited?" Cortney explained herself. 

'You feel like a prisoner because you are one.' I wanted to yell this at Cortney, but instead, I Said, " you are invited, but if you are not a fan of Gore and blood, I advise you not to come." 

"You don't have to sell it to me. I am in. Do I get to torture them too?" Cortney seemed to be more excited than me.

"No, they are mine to enjoy." After taking over this body, I promised revenge to young Wyatt's remnant. So I am going to do just that. The circle and its important members were still at large, so for now, I could only settle for revenge on Zhang mercenary. 

"Ooo!" Courtney sighed in disappointment.

"Don't be disappointed if I get bored. I will let you have a go at it." 

"Yea!" Cortney cheered and followed Luna and me out.

Location- Sky Blossom City, Foul Woods D-rank gate dungeon 

"Welcome, Boss. Let's head in." Arriving at the dungeon gate, I saw Van was standing at the entrance of the dungeon, waiting for my arrival. 

"Van, any report on the Circle or its members? Were you able to find them? Were you able to capture somebody important in the Circle?" The circle has fled the city with its core members. Before the man behind the Circle climbs to the Card demigod realm, as shown in the memories I had copied from Clown Mask. I had to find them and whip them all out. Before, they once again gathered and managed to become a threat to me.
