    Location- Central region, Capital City, Baylor Manor


    To save his skin, the flower thief started bbing the first thing that came to his mind, and fortunately, the more he spoke, the more it made sense, so he stuck with it.


    "I am listening," Sansa did not care what the flower thief had to say as long as he sweated enough and disyed submission in both body and mind. Forcing a person''s body into submission was satisfying but forcing their mind into submission was simply pleasuring and had a sense of fulfillment.


    Hearing the matron finally respond to him with three words more than before, the flower thief sighed in relief and then continued by building on his previous bullshit, "Matron, I believe the Circle ns to give up their sun blossom city''s branch leader just make peace with the boy. They may even havee to a tactical understanding with the southern royal family."


    " Flower thief, you do know that I can read your memories right?" Sansa said, fed up with the Flower thief''s bullshit, she no longer nned to entertain him, and immediately shut him.


    In this world apart from her nobody knew the real capability of the Supreme leader of the circle. She has tried numerous times to infiltrate the circle''s core management using her ability but she was never sessful in this endeavor. There were two reasons for this,


    The first is that the regr members have no say in the management. Except for the branch leaders and a few elders in the main branch of the circle rest of them were mere expendables. No matter their contribution and merit to the cause of the circle they were nothing more than pawns in the Supreme leader''s ns.


    The second was that the true core management of the circle led by the branch leaders and a select group of elders in the main branch of the circle were somehow immune to her origin card. It would be more urate to say that whenever she used her origin card on any one of them she would face a strong rejection.


    Trying to find the reason or source behind the rejection, Sansa the self-proimed ruler of shadows in the central region was caught in the act for the first time in her entire career. Before that nobody had any idea that there existed an organization that served the purpose of one person and was the mysterious hand behind more than half of the idents in the capital, and third in the entire central region.


    At the cost of revealing her organization and her hidden identity, something good came out that fateful day, Sansa learned the best-kept secrets of one of many small organizations in the central region, the Circle, which slowly making a ce for itself in the central region.


    That day both Supreme Leader and Matron, met for the first time and learned each other secrets. As the oddballs in life, who decided not to be part of the game and instead y it, they came to respect each other and agreed to forge an alliance with their secrets as coteral. With this alliance, the Circle and the Paw n''s rise to power was shorter than it would have taken them individually. The alliance has served both the circle and the paw n very well, until just recently.


    The circle was not able to kill the boy before he rose to power as per their agreement with Matron.


    In a fit of rage, she sent a bunch of Card emperors from paw m to ughter the Circle''s Sky blossom city branch. Though the attack was a failure as the intended target managed to escape the casualty to the Circle''s Sky blossom branch was not negligible. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    As result in the present, they were having troublemunicating with each other, which is resulting in them being unable to trust each other, which was not a problem before.


    Aside from all this, Sansa knew for sure that even if Circle were topromise with the southern royal family they would never give up one of their branch leaders as they have spared no less effort in grooming them, and the fact that they yed a very important role in the Supreme leader''s grand scheme of ns. Therefore when the flower thief said that Circle may be nning to sacrifice the sun blossom city''s branch leader to appease the boy and makeup with the southern royal family Sansa could no longer tolerate his bullshit.


    "..." Hearing Matron''s words, the flower thief''s leg started to wobble, he opened his mouth but no words came out as his mind was scared nk, nothing but fear of Matron echoed in it.


    "I will call them and get an update, no matter their response, the mission is a go. Tonight you have to kill the boy even if it cost you five your lives. So, for your sakes pray that Circle is as desperate as me to kill the boy," Leaving behind an ultimatum Sansa ended the call and she meant every word of what she said.


    No matter what happened, Sansa wanted the boy dead tonight, even if it meant the death of the Flower thief. Because right now for her the boy''s death was worth more than one hundred codename flower thief asher husband ns to adopt the boy before the next sunset. Which she could not tolerate, the mere thought of that woman''s son bing her husband''s adoptive son caused Sansa''s blood to boil in rage. She can''t have it no matter what.


    It''s not like the thought of turning that woman''s son into one of her ves did not cross her mind but no matter how expendable the paw n was to Sansa it held a little sentiment in her heart and she did not want it to be sullied by the presence of that woman''s blood. Even if she were to look past that she could not look past the fact that a bunch of legal papers would associate her and her husband as the adoptive parents of that boy. So no matter the cost she wanted that boy dead tonight.
