Chapter 925: SolutionDate- 3 April 2321
Time- 20:28
Location- Sun Blossom City, Card Creationist Association, Auction house, West Wing Hall
I bring up Hippocampus because I thought it was the answer to ending Sansa''s tyranny. I had this theory based on the function of the Hippocampus, if I was right then I coulde up with a way to identify the members of the paw n. In this sense, it may not be far-fetched for me to think that I may also find a way to help Sansa''s victims free from her grasp.
[Ann, I need to meet with Cole, I think I may have a way that can bring an end to our Matron problem faster,] I immediately sent this to Ann because I wanted Cole to be at the sky blossom city and not moved to some secure location before I return after I am done handling the circle in the sun blossom city.
The reason I needed to meet Cole was to test out my theory. Yes, I was nning to use Cole as the guinea pig. Hence, I needed him to be present at the sky blossom city and not be imprisoned in some secure location.
I had a feeling that If I were to look closely at the soul pathways of Cole''s Hippocampus I would be able to find anomalies in it considering that Matron''s origin card was able to manipte its victim''s memories by attacking their Hippocampus. By anomalies in the soul pathways of Cole''s Hippocampus, I mean tiny traces of foreign soul energy in it, which could only be left if someone messed with his Hippocampus.
Usually, I only scan the overall soul pathway arrangements of a card apprentice using my soul pupils and never tend to look deep into the soul pathway arrangements of other card apprentices respecting their privacy especially not the soul pathways of their organs individually. That was how I might have missed the anomalies in the soul pathways of Cole''s Hippocampus. I couldn''t possibly find what I was not looking for. Now that I know what I was supposed to look for I will not miss it this time around.
[About that, the Matron got to him. Fortunately for us, she got to him after we created a clone of his memories. Otherwise, it would have been a great loss.] Ann replied as she recalled how Cole immediately became brain-dead as soon as the Samsara array''s influence on him decreased.
[That''s okay. No good deedes out of crying over the spilled milk. But do you think the southern royal family can capture a few paw n members for me to test my theories,] Hearing that the geniuses of the southern royal were only able to clone Cole''s memories before Sansa silenced him for eternity I was pissed but then I calmed down and thought maybe the southern royal family could capture a few members of the paw n for me to use them as my guinea pig to test my theories.
[Yeah, I don''t think that will be possible any time soon.] Ann meant she did not have high hopes for the Royal family''s trial and error method to sniff the Matron''s goon in the southern region.
[Speaking of which, there is some news you need to know.] Ann added another reply.
[What is it?] I asked still preupied with my theory on identifying the victims of Matron''s origin card based on their Hippocampus.
[Before we captured Cole he was lurking near the Lion Cubs high school. And through his memories, we found out that Matron had ordered him to kidnap your aunt Kathy and bring her to her. I believe she nned to get your aunt Kathy under her control and use your aunt to get rid of you. Neat n, it might have worked if you hadn''t suspected Cole. By the way, how did you figure out that Cole was Matron''s pawn? You never went into specifics about it.] Ann''s words rang rms in my brain. The one thing I dreaded so much that I rather not consider, was that what if Kathy was just the start? What if Matron starts aiming at people surrounding me? That was when I resolved, ''That bitch got to go.''
[I was suspicious of Cole from the start. What reputable ck merchant in his right mind would bring his VIP client to a high schooler card creationist to get her origin card created? None, right? That was suspicious as hell but I did not have enough reason to voice my suspicion about him until I was alerted by the Circle''s branch leader''s behavior.] I answered Ann and then sent another reply adding [Is my Aunt safe?]
[She is safe, we were able to intercept Cole before he made his move. Wyatt, one other thing. Matron has sent her elite assassin squad of five card emperors to assassinate you. This doesn''t make sense, why would Matron send five card emperor on this mission when she clearly knew that a semi-demigod bodyguard was protecting you from within your shadow? I really don''t understand the reason behind her decision but you got to be careful.
And Anna is still searching for their location using the array formation covering the southern region but so far we have had no luck finding them. ording to Grandpa Lorenzo, these five are the same squad that failed to assassinate youst time. ording to Cole''s memory, they n to assassinate you when you engage the Sun blossom city''s Circle branch, making it look like you died in the fight with the Circle''s goons.] Ann finally narrated the real reason for her having the boy contact her immediately when he receives her message through Agatha.
[Thanks for the heads up, I will keep a lookout for them. It seems I will very soon have five guinea pigs to test my theory on.] I said while thinking that Sansa should really trust these five card emperor goons of hers to send them to assassinate me despite knowing a semi-demigod bodyguard protecting me from within my shadow. Her confidence must stem from the impressive unique ability to enter the empty space of one of the card emperors that she sent to assassinate me.
If she wanted this assassination on me to be med on the circle then using this squad that had the ability to hide in the empty space was a better option than sending a bunch of semi-demigods that would attract unwanted attention to her organization by their participation in this fight. Matron seemed to have nned out everything meticulously and underestimating her and her threats to my life would be foolishness on my part. Therefore I decided to be extra vignt today.
[What do you mean, Wyatt? Didn''t I just ask you to look after yourself? Wyatt, promise me that you will not risk your life unnecessarily] Reading my reply Ann grew worried about me and immediately replied asking me to promise her that I would not risk my life unless the circumstances demands it.
[Don''t worry I love and value my life more than you think,] I assured Ann and then hung up the call. And soon I received two calls. One was from Diana and the other one was from Roy. They both had two different jobs assigned to them by me.I bet they were calling to update me on the mission I assigned to them. I decided to answer Diana''s call first considering that she was given the responsibility to bring my forces to the sun blossom city, Roy will have to wait.
"Hey, Diana. What is it ?" I answered Diana''s call.
"Master Wyatt, I called to inform you that all your forces have arrived at sun blossom city. We are hovering a few miles from the city, ready to be deployed at your signal," Diana immediately answered saying that my forces have arrived at the sun blossom city region and were awaiting my orders a few miles away from the city.
"You are here earlier than I expected. You did a good job, Diana. But you guys will have to wait there a little longer as the ambush on the Circle''s branch in the sun blossom city will start at the midnight to avoid bystanders casualties," Iplimented Diana for a job well done and asked them to wait outside the city as the ambush on the circle will begin at the stroke of the midnight.
"Thank you, master Wyatt, we will await your orders a few miles outside the city. And what should I do with the storage trunk card handed to me by the southern emperor to deliver to you?" Diana asked immediately.
"About that, I wille outside the city and meet you in person then you can hand over the package to me," I answered Diana, nning to visit her and my forces outside the city to fetch the package given to her by the southern emperor to deliver to me. The storage card from the southern emperor in question must contain the broken runes I asked her to prepare for me.
