“Your highness, Southern emperor. I, Axe Emperor Brandon Duskborn, extend my greetings to you.”

“Your highness, Southern emperor. I, Fire Fist Emperor of the Duskborn family, extend my greetings to you.” Brandon and his Uncle extended their greetings to Anna as they descended the hovercar. Though all three of them were Card emperors their status varied with a huge gap. Anna was royalty and the only heir of the Heatsend Royal family. While Brandon and his uncle were n.o.body from an average family among numerous families in the capital.

“You s.h.i.+ts, what did I ask you and what are you blabbering. 3 seconds, give me a good reason to spare your life. Otherwise, you better run.” Anna did not greet back or accept the uncle and nephew duos greetings.

“Your highness, you cannot kill us. We are Dalton’s family members by blood. I think you are forgetting something. You are bound by the soul contract from harming us and if the situation presents itself you even have to protect us. ” Brandon was aggravated with Anna’s att.i.tude towards them. So he no longer remained polite and showed his trump card, and one of the motives behind their trip to Sky blossom city.

“You guys finally revealed your true faces! On the contrary you dumba.s.s I think you’re forgetting something… ” Anna suddenly vanished from the spot where she was standing, the Duskborn family Card emperor duo did not even realize Anna had vanished because of the perfect mirror image she left behind in her place.

“Watch out!” Realising something was amiss, the Fire Fist emperor pushed aside his nephew but soon fresh blood sprinkled on clueless Brandon’s face.

“Uncle!” Brandon cried in anguish as he watched his Uncle soaked in blood missing his left arm.

“I will keep this as a price of your insolence.” Next moment Anna appeared where she had left her mirror image with a torn and bloodied limb. Soon the bloodied arm turned to dust as she said, ” So as I was saying, the soul contract penalty only applies when Wyatt knows about the incident and demands for it. So you s.h.i.+ts, I can kill you right here without having to worry about the soul contract penalty. So, you better behave if you want to live.”

“That is not how a soul contract works! A soul contract is absolute and impartial.” Brandon yelled, feeling he was being cheated.

“You dumb fuq! Do not raise your voice in front of me. Believe it or not, I will show you two a place worse than h.e.l.l.” Anna snapped.

“Brandon enough, what was the family thinking by sending you for something as sensitive as this. We are here to bring back your nephew, my grandnephew back home and thank the southern employer for taking care of our family child.” The Fire Fist emperor tried hard to regrow his limb but an untraceable energy was blocking him from doing so. Getting himself together from the shock of losing a limb he reprimanded Brandon for overplaying their hand.

The plan was to be humble and get Ellen’s child in their possession while increasing his goodwill towards the family and gaining his trust. Once the kid was in their palms then they would set their plans and ambition in motion. This plan also involved gaining the Heatsend royalties trust along the side but his stupid nephew ruined any chance of gaining their trust but a temporary alliance was still possible. It all depended on their performance henceforth.

“My apologies, your highness. It seems our family’s teachings are not enough. If it takes one of my hands to calm your anger then so be it. Our only goal is to bring the lost child of our family back home.” Fire Fist emperor knew Anna had no intention of giving back his limb or allow him to regrow it so he decided not to bring it up and use it to smoothen the relations.h.i.+p between them.

“You sly s.h.i.+t. The day I signed the soul contract with Wyatt I checked his background. Do you think I do not know what your relations.h.i.+p with Wyatt is? What gives you the guts to show your shameless faces here in the first place. Once Wyatt knows the history between you and his parents there is no telling what he is going to do or give up for revenge. If he gives up 30% or just 20% of the silver milk powder royalty in his hand, I will not hesitate to lead the Southern watch to the capital and flatten your family. If that’s what he wants.” Anna’s cheeks turned red because the one who performed the background check was her mother while she was celebrating with Elliott not knowing that Wyatt had made a fool out of her.

“Your highness, every family member is equal in the Duskborn family’s eyes. Ellen had betrayed the family’s trust and made a grave mistake, which she made up for by being banished from the family and the capital. Now her child has earned enough merits to redeem his parents’ mistake and once again join the Duskborn family. And your highness this is Duskborn family internal matters, please do not interfere in it.” The Fire Fist Emperor repeated what he was confined in by the family elders.

“You are going with that bull s.h.i.+t? My G.o.d, you people are dumber than I thought. You guys may still have the chance to make peace with Wyatt. Compensate him and beg for his forgiveness. Send someone meaningful like his grandfather to negotiate instead of a n.o.body dumba.s.s like that c.u.n.t standing next to you.” Anna advised Fire Fist emperor as she knew in the near future Wyatt would need all the help he could get.

The world has not witnessed the miracle of the silver milk powder like she and her family. Therefore they underestimate the worth of silver milk powder but once the silver milk powder is released and spread in the market, there is no telling what kind of waves it will stir up. For Anna, compared to Wyatt’s survival, his parents’ grievance with the Duskborn family was trivial.

“Thank your highness for your guidance but the family law is absolute. And same for everyone, merits are awarded and mistakes are punished. There is nothing that the family needs to apologize for. I think Ellen’s child will understand this and would like his parents to rest with their predecessors in the Duskborn family ancestral graveyard.” The Fire Fist emperor finally revealed where the family’s confidence stemmed from.

“Haha! So you are going to offer two spots in your ancestral graveyard in exchange for the royalty of silver milk powder and Wyatt joining your family. Aren’t you guys geniuses? Let’s see how it works out for you guys.”
