Card Apprentice Daily Log

Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no.234

The commotion between me and Agatha had already attracted all the ears in the warehouse but since they did not know what actually Ronnie's origin card was and what it was capable of they did not understand why Agatha was going so far to negotiate with me. But they were smart enough to know that if a card was able to catch the attention of a semi-demigod then the card must be worth it so they couldn't help but become curious about Agatha's business venture. Especially Cole, as a black merchant, Cole was always ready to invest in a promising startup. Cole wasn't alone, for some reason Asong too. Though she did not abuse her authority to help her family she did use it to help her family make good investments. With her position in government, Asong gets in touch with a lot of privileged information and she did not see any harm in using them to help her family make ends meet. In this world where corruption is rampant under unspoken jungle laws what Asong did was normal.

They all wanted to step in and ask what was going on but also didn't want to get in the middle of the two and become casualties, so they waited for the right moment to make their entry. As for Anna and Ann, they felt that if their love was going to do any new business then it should be with their family, not an outsider. They could tolerate Cole because he belonged to one of the vessel families under their family but Agatha she was an outsider.

I had already felt the greedy gazes but I ignored them because looking at Agatha sneer at me I shook my head and decided to enlighten her as she asked me to.

"Agatha, before we discuss the distribution of the shares, let us talk about what each of us brings to the table. That way it will be easier for us to agree on who gets how much." I said looking at Agatha who seemed to think that I was trying to take advantage of her.

"Why should I? The company is mine shouldn't that alone be the reason for you to understand that you don't give me shares, I am the one giving you shares." Agatha smirked as she said that.

"What company? Where is it?" I asked Agatha, feeling she seemed to have forgotten that there was no company, to begin with.

"By company, I don't literally mean a company but the resources I am willing to put in," Agatha explained.

"Um… What resources are you putting?" I asked Agatha again waiting for her to realize where I was going with it.

"Obviously the funds to start the company and my name," Agatha said with pride. By ' my name' she meant that nobody would come looking for trouble because she was a semi-demigod. Hearing Agatha I sighed realizing that she was too preoccupied with the thought that I was taking advantage of her to take a hint of what I was going to say.

"Funds and Protection, is that it?" I looked into Agatha's eyes and asked.

"What? Are you underestimating a semi-demigod and my capabilities? Or do you believe that starting company is as easy as making a few cards and selling them for a sky-high price?" Agatha mocked.

"Agatha, look around you in this room alone there are 4 people who can give me funds and protection in exchange for my cards, 5 if you add your princess," I said to Agatha while making sure that my voice was audible to the 5 people I spoke of.

"What are you getting at Wyatt?" Agatha asked while glaring at the profiter card creationist.

"Please have patience we will get there. Before that Agatha, please answer this, How many people can give you the card you need in exchange for your funds and protection?" I spoke while a smile bloomed on my face looking at speechless Agatha.

"..." Agatha's expression froze and she grew silent unable to answer as she understood what the young card creationist was trying to say. He couldn't be clearer.

"One, if you are wondering. Besides me, nobody can create the custom card you are asking for." I gloated, being humble in times like this was more effective but gloating at Agatha I felt satisfied.

"..." 'You need me, not the other way around. Without my cards, you can't start the business but without your funds and name, I can get others who are willing to provide them to me to start the business. Honestly, you are not needed.' These words played in Agatha's mind even though they were not spoken to her by the young card creationist, but without him needing to say them to her they were apparent to Agatha.

Agatha had long since realized that for a successful business one has to have a unique and in-demand product. Therefore when saw Ronnie's 10,000-armed butcher card, Agatha felt that it was what she was looking for. The multi-armed card was indeed a unique and in-demand card but she forgot that she did not own it. It was something she could get with enough money. If she can get it with money then others too can get it with money.

Having been enlightened Agatha came to the realization and looking at the young card creationist, she said, " 51:49 split your way. But I have few conditions."

"Go ahead, I am listening." Hearing Agatha offers 51 percent of her business I was impressed. Because it took great strength to do what Agatha just did.

"First, You will be the silent partner, all the decisions regarding the business will be made by me. Second, our company will be given the exclusive right to your multi-armed butcher cards. In return, you will own all the multi-armed butcher cards apart from your shares. But you can't claim your ownership of the multi-armed butcher cards unless our company falls."
