Chapter 338: Tao Eye
Date- 27 Mar 2321
Time- 16:54
Location- Sky Blossom City, Card stadium, VIP box no.1
“Tell me, Why shouldn’t I kill you right here and right now?” I asked, looking at the figure kneeling in front of Anna with a clown mask on. My words were not for the show even though my opponent was card lord she had not forged an Ego Gem yet. And with my 6 Ego Elementals, killing her was as easy as squas.h.i.+ng a bug.
“I am not here to beg for my life. I am just a mere tool, which points in the direction its master points it at. If you want to kill me, go ahead. With the prowess you have displayed in the duel earlier, only a handful of people in the Sky Blossom City are your match.” The Clown mask answered emotionlessly.
“You are the one that killed Wyatt’s parents? Aren’t you daring? State your purpose for the audience.” Anna, feeling the tension in the room, jogged her memory of her mother’s report to remember why the clown mask was able to conjure such hatred from me.
“Your highness, I am not here to address you but Mr. Wyatt.” The Clown mask’s emotionless voice made it hard to determine whether she was being serious. How daring was she to meet the child of her victims?
“…” My hatred for the Clown mask was not to the level to go berserk at the mere sight of her. But currently, her words made it hard for me to stay calm.
What I felt right now was similar to the feeling one would feel watching a movie where the villain or serial killer laughs in pleasure at the disgruntled and devastated friends and family of victims. My hatred for the Clown mask or the circle was only to the level of a sympathetic third person. After all, I only knew Mama, Papa, and young Wyatt through Young Wyatt’s memories.
“Mr. Wyatt, I am here to beg for my daughter Cortney’s life.” Seeing me not speak Clown Mask went ahead and spoke about the purpose of her visit.
“Ain’t this funny, the killer begging for her child’s life to the child of her victims. Hahaha… I heard she was the special weapon the Circle had prepared to kill me if the other talents of the city failed to do so… does the Circle even know you are here? What are you trying to pull?” Every word from the Clown mask was like adding oil to the flame burning in my body craving vengeance for the Wyatt family.
“No, the circle doesn’t know about this. As I didn’t come here as the Circle’s hunting dog but as a sorry excuse of a mother trying to do the best for her daughter with her life on the line.” Finally, I heard a bit of emotion in the Clown mask’s voice, she sounded to be filled with regret.
“If you are not here as the Circle’s hunting dog then why hide behind the Circle’s mask, show me your face. I want to see the desperation and despair in your face as you beg.” Yes, I planned to toy with her before I killed her. With my current leap in strength, I was planning on uprooting the Circle after the tournament anyway. It’s good that I get to kill the tool that killed Papa and Mama Wyatt.
“…” Clown mask hesitated at first but soon she removed her mask revealing her face but what I saw made me gasp in fright. Not just me, even Anna couldn’t help but gasp looking at Clown’s mask face.
The reason for our gasp was not because she was ugly, she could be dubbed a beauty if one can ignore the big hole in her forehead. The frightening thing was that hole located around the middle of her forehead, slightly above the junction of the eyebrows had vertical eyelids on it which made it clear that this was a fabled third eye but vertical eyelids seemed to be torn as if someone pried open the eyelids to scoop out the third eyeball making it hard for them to close the hollow eye socket.
“This! Were you born with a special physique? What happened to your third eye? Who scooped it out? Too gruesome… ” Anna, who had decided to keep out of this one, couldn’t help but inquire about the Clown mask’s third eye in pity.
“Yes, your highness. I was born with a special physique. When I contracted my grimoire it awakened. It is called the Third Eye of Tao. And that’s the day my world went upside down. Circle found me and killed everyone and anyone who knew about or saw my physique. Soon the leader scooped my third eye as a card ingredient.” The clown mask was not fazed by our weird gazes and answered Anna’s questions one by one patiently.
“Fuq, the Third eye of Tao. Which one of the abilities did your Tao Eye have superhuman visions, clairvoyance, the ability to observe aura and spirit, precognition, or out-of-body experiences?… *Sigh* such a pity…” Anna was excited to hear that the Clown mask’s special physique was Tao Eye. But her excitement soon died down realizing it did not matter anymore as the Clown Mask’s Tao Eye was already stolen.
“You can put the mask back on, don’t think your tragic past will weaken my resolve for revenge.” Unable to stand the nightmarish sight of her hollowed third eye I asked Clown mask to put her Clown mask back on.
“I never planned to…” said the Clown mask as she wore her mask back on.
“Fuq those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. To think that they would dare to steal the property of the southern region. I will personally kill them all, those mother Fuqers… Grandpa is going to be p.i.s.sed when he finds out… to waste a Tao eye as a card ingredient who does that? Don’t they know Tao Eye is just a tool and the real power lies in the host’s physique? Those fuqing imbeciles…” belated but justified, Anna yelled in a fit of rage she claimed the Tao Eye as the property of the southern region and continued to curse in anger.
