Location- Sky Blossom City, Dungeon Highway, Barren Lands, Blood Rock Cave Gate Dungeon

Stepping out of the Bloodette's cave dungeon for a minute, I contacted Van asking him to gather as much high-level monster blood he could possibly procure and get to my location asap. 

"Did you get the monster blood?" Bloodette enthusiastically asked, seeing me return inside the cave. 

"No, it doesn't work that way. I have asked my friend to collect as much high-ranking monster blood as possible and bring it to this location. So considering the amount of blood and its rank, it will take him some time to get here. Until then, why don't you get down to making the blood pills? After all, I will be giving you a lot of high-ranking monster blood." I did not set how many blood pills Bloodette was supposed to give me because I was already guilty of using her ignorance, and I did not want to add more guilt to it by demanding a large number of blood pills from her. So I left it up to her how many blood pills she wanted to compensate me with in exchange for the high-ranking monster blood I provided her. 

"Okay" following my words, Bloodette began refining Blood pills. This time around, she conjured a massive ball of Blood big enough to fill half of the cave. And soon, she began refining it. Within a few minutes, she produced 3000 blood pills. 

"Here! Is this enough?" Handing me the 3000 blood pills, Bloodette asked if they were enough or she should make some more.

"You don't know Bloodette, I asked my friend to gather a lot of high-ranking blood…." Storing the 3000 blood pills, I dragged my words waiting for Bloodette to reach a conclusion herself. 

"Got it. I will make another batch of blood pills." It did not take long for Motivated Bloodette to reach the conclusion I wanted her to reach. And return to refining another batch of blood pills. 

"If you want to…." I shamelessly let Bloodette refine another batch of pills. 

I had to be shameless as it was either this or begging Anna or Luna for an advancement on my pay for their order. I planned to go to war with the Circle Sun Blossom Branch. My confidence in winning against a local titan like Circle in its home ground came from the fact that I could upgrade all my Calamity Daughter cores to Calamity Daughter Gem. But just having the Calamity gem doesn't mean they will suddenly become powerful. No matter how high the synchronization rate of my Calamity Daughter gem is, it will still take time to comprehend rules and form runes. 

To solve this problem of my calamity daughter gems and have them gain enormous strength in less time, I planned to equip them all with broken runes using the additional effects of the Calamity daughter gem. But I did not have the required number of broken gems with me yet. Earlier I planned to get the necessary number of broken runes from Anna or Luna but having seen the capabilities of the Blood rule pill created by Bloodette. I planned to have my Calamity daughter gem comprehend the Blood rule and forge their respective Blood rune with the help of the Blood rule pill. 

With the high Synchronization Rate of my Calamity Daughter gem and the miraculous Blood Rule pills created by Bloodette, I was hundred percent sure that my Calamity Daughter gems could comprehend Blood rule to a higher level and create high tier Blood runes based on their comprehension of blood rule. Considering how I have 3000 blood pills with me now and another 3000 are soon to be produced, I planned on feeding the Calamity daughter gems until each of them forges a high-tier blood rune. 

*Snuff**Snuff*Just when I was planning my war with the Circle, I smelled a pungent smell fill the air. As I turned to find the source of the scent, I found Cortney with her clothes soiled in black waste. 

"Wft!" I cursed, seeing Cortney, who opened her eyes, smelling the pungent scent off of her. I understood how Anna must have felt when I successfully mastered the Basic Circulation method in five minutes. 

"Here! Is this enough?" Bloodette handed me another batch of 3000 blood pills and asked if she should continue refining pills. 

"What's going on here?" Cortney, who had just refined her soul energy for the first time, looked at me with suspicious eyes.

"Yes, this is enough." I hurriedly stored the 3000 blood pills in my storage trunk cards and indicated to Bloodette that she could stop refining pills as the amount she delivered was enough. 

"Good, when is your friend going to come with the monster blood?" Bloodette asked eagerly. Since she had completed her part of the deal, Bloodette's eagerness grew by another level. 

"Soon, when he arrives, you will be the first one to know." Literally, Bloodette will be the first one to know if Van arrived at this location because she controlled the dungeon gate. 

"I asked, what is happening here?" Cortney was very protective of Bloodette than I had thought.

"Wyatt said that his friend will get me a lot of high-ranking monster blood in exchange for my tasteless blood pills. Isn't this great?" Bloodette enthusiastically reported the deal between her and me to Cortney. Who narrowed her brows upon hearing the unfair agreement. 

"Cortney, before you say anything. I am not taking advantage of Bloodette. I do not plan to sell these Blood pills. They are for my personal use. Except for the core members of my guild, I do not intend to give or sell these pills to anybody. You have to trust me." Having been caught by Cortney red-handed taking advantage of Bloodette's ignorance of the material world, I felt ashamed and guilty. After all, I consider Bloodette a friend. And friends do not take advantage of their friends. I wronged and betrayed Bloodette on so many levels.

"Wyatt, I am not the one you should be explaining yourself to. You know what you did and how to make it right." Cortney asserted 

"Bloodette, I…" I knowingly took advantage of Bloodette's innocence because of that I think myself unworthy of Bloodette's friendship. Therefore I planned to apologize and return the Blood pills to Bloodette. But was interrupted by Bloodette. 

"Wyatt, you do not have to apologize. I knew what I was doing when I made the agreement with you. And Cortney, I am not stupid. I read the books you brought me. I know about materialism among you humans. 

Wyatt is not at fault here. He already informed me of the values of blood pills I made earlier. Despite knowing how much you humans value the blood pills, I chose to enter an agreement with Wyatt because the refining method he taught to me and the high-ranking monster blood he plans to exchange with blood pills are more precious in my eyes. So nobody is wrong here. If anything, you owe Wyatt an apology for judging him too fast."

"..." I was dumbfounded hearing Bloodette. Not just me, Cortney too. But realizing she spoke out of terms, she gave a straightforward apology.
