    "Wyatt, sorry about that. Don''t take my grandmother''s words to heart," Ann apologized for her grandma''s behavior but seeing that the boy did not care and prepared to leave. Ann immediately called out to the boy, "Wyatt, wait. You still have not taken my family''s order for VR-Slime cards."


    Listening to Ann call out to me, I did not n to stop but had to stop after seeing that Agatha had returned, "Agatha what are you doing here? What about the distribution of the three million VR-Slime cards that I gave you?"


    "Don''t worry boss. My friends got that covered. By the end of this week, every corner of this world where people live will have a minimum of a card apprentice equipping a VR-Slime card," Agatha dered.


    "I thought you would be supervising them in the field," I said with a frown because I did not know Agatha''s friends and I could not trust that they would work efficiently without any supervision.


    "No, I will be supervising them remotely. Boss, don''t worry, the weakest one of them is a card emperor and they are all capable enough to escape the pursuit of Semi-demigods with ease. I promise you they will not rest until they give away all 3 million cards across the world," Agatha promised.


    The reason why Agatha chose to supervise her friends remotely and not directly on the field was that she could not leave her princess''s side.


    Even when she left to meet her friends and make arrangements for the distribution of three million VR-Slime cards, most of the time her mind was upied with the safety of Aba. Therefore, she made sure to return as fast as possible. Agatha would not have done this if Aba wasn''t in the Southern royal pce. Still, she felt that her actions were very irresponsible.


    "Okay, I will take your word for it," Saying that I prepared to enter the seed world but my wrist was suddenly grabbed by Ann. Who forced me into making eye contact with her andined, "Wyatt, this is too much."


    "..." I did not avoid eye contact with Ann and stared indifferently into her eyes.


    Gazing into the boy''s indifferent eyes Ann was aggrieved and her eyes started to tear up. Despite staring into Ann''s teary eyes my eyes remained indifferent as I uttered, "Ann, let go of my hand."


    "I won''t, we need to talk this out," Ann asserted. Though Ann got approval from her grandma to pursue the boy, the aftermath of her grandma''s actions was far more serious than they both had imagined.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "What''s there to talk about? You guys raise the taxes as much as you want, I won''t be selling a single VR-Slime card to your family," I dered. Colleen''s words had pissed me off, no matter how much Ann apologized it would not repair the damage.


    Listening to the boy dere he will not sell cards to the Southern Royal family even if they raised his taxes, Agatha was confused.


    ''Didn''t the boy just give the southern royal family nearly 1.5 million VR-Slime cards for free? How could they shamelessly threaten the boy with increased taxes to force him into giving them more VR-Slime cards?'' Despite thinking this Agatha did not jump to unfounded conclusions and thought that there was more to this matter.


    "Wyatt, listen to me. My grandma said that out of a fit of rage. She did not mean any of it. Besides, she can''t just raise taxes for a single person or anyone even if she wanted to. There are proper procedures to be followed for something like that," Ann realized that she was going off-topic so she paused and added to the topic, "I have talked to my mother about reducing your taxes. She said that your creation of a card with the ''Soul Energy digestion'' effect can be considered a huge contribution to society."


    "She ns to ask the central government to increase your privilege rank. With your VR-Slime card, your privilege rank will easily be ranked at the top. As a result, your taxes will be reduced ordingly and you will also be entitled to other privileges too, "Ann looked at the boy with anticipation, wondering if the boy was satisfied but seeing his eyes remained indifferent Ann continued to say, "But if you still insist on getting your taxes reduced, the royal family can pardon your state taxes altogether but there is nothing we can do about the central taxes. This is the most the royal family can do, Wyatt."


    "Fine, now let go of my hand," I said coldly while my eyes continued to remain indifferent.


    Ann''s mother was smart, unlike Colleen. She put forward a reasonable proposal to pardon my state taxes altogether, I was worth it and she knew it. Any other region would do the same to make a part of their region.


    After all, I discovered silver milk powder, invented VR-Universe, and created a card with a soul energy digestion effect all while just being 17 years old and not having huge research funds of any sort. If people still believed that I was a fraud then they were the biggest idiots.


    Listening to the boy''s cold words, Ann''s grip around his wrist tightened, and her teary eyes turned red threatening to rain tears any movement now. With great difficulty, Ann uttered, "Why are you being cold toward me? What did I ever do to you? Tell me, what did I do wrong? I will change it. Please, don''t hate me."


    Agatha who did not want to meddle with others'' business could not help but throw a gaze filled with judgment at the boy feeling pity for Ann. She could see how hard Ann has been trying to get the boy''s attention since they got here.


    Agatha did not think just because Ann showered the boy with her feelings the boy should do the same, she thought that if he did not n to reciprocate Ann''s feelings for him he should make it clear to her so that she could move on. Instead of stringing her along just because he was too chicken to confront Ann about her feelings for him.


    Aria too, who was watching this whole ordeal since the very beginning, felt the same as Agatha. She could not continue to watch her princess suffer having fallen for a cowardly jerk. She felt Ann would be better off without the boy in her life. However, knowing the boy''s rtionship with Anna Aria knew that was not possible.
