Debra's life in Fine Gold couldn't be more comfortable, thanks to her origin card the company valued her so much that they let her directly advance her grimoire to Silver grade and promised to let her upgrade to Golden grimoire if she showed positive exemplary results. 

Her current role at Fine Gold is to be the exclusive bodyguard of Jaya Keith, she no longer had to risk her life dungeon diving and exploring the unknown just to make pennies while the guild reaped all the benefits like in her last job. 

As the Silver employee of Fine Gold Debra was offered the best cards which suited her battle style and origin card perfectly. 

She was also given various gadget Item cards, like the earpiece and glasses which connect with her grimoire allowing her to use the call and camera function of the grimoire without summoning the grimoire. 

Not only that the earpiece and glasses give her access to the Fine Gold network which she can use for assistance in getting information, to call for emergency backup and report her and Jaya's status. 

Not to forget the black suit armour card inclusive of a black tux, black leather boots, black leather belt and a wristwatch. All these gadgets had their uses which she would require as the bodyguard of Jaya Keith. 

Debra thought being a bodyguard would be a lot easier but she was wrong, she had to be alert constantly and observe every detail while monitoring the patron. This was a lot similar to exploring the dungeons.

Just now there was a crisis, without thinking Debra covered herself in her bone exoskeleton armour and jumped in front of Jaya to shield her from any frontal attacks but it turns out it was a false alarm. 

But this was not the first false alarm today, she already had three such false cases before this situation. Back at the coffee shop, the girl was only reaching for sugar packets next to Jaya, for which the girl almost got her arm broken by Debra.

Resulting in Debra feeling that maybe dungeon diving would be better than being a bodyguard at least there she did not have to hold back. 

Elliott who was heading to the Jk group airship suddenly turned and walked back to the Fine Gold group again, his entourage had no choice but to follow him quietly. Elliott could not walk fast because putting too much stress on the leg could lead to fractures in his leg bone.

His body was able to stand thanks to bone hardening passive cards he was using, his bones were soft as foam no matter how much you harden foam they would still crumble under pressure. 

Jaya, who was considering how to inform her sister about the Jk Grain and Oil Ltd. backing out of the deal at the last minute saw Elliott slowly walk towards herself. Puzzled Jaya asked, "Mr Elliott having second thoughts about the contract."

But Elliott did not answer her and just passed by her stopping in front of Debra as he eagerly asked, "Was that Ram bull ability that you used?" 

Debra did not answer him but looked at Jaya for permission, it was not hard for Jaya to put one and two together, a guy with soft bones asking about Ram bull ability he could not be more clearer so Jaya nodded in approval. 

Getting Jaya's approval Debra answered, " yes, it is." 

"Sorry to be rude but could you sell me the card. I beg you" Elliott looked directly into Debra's eyes and pleaded. 

Debra blushed and looked away, as Elliott was what you call 'man pretty'. If she could she would have just gifted the card to him but unfortunately, "I am sorry, it is the ability of my Origin card." 

Hearing this Elliott left out a sorrowful laugh and thought, 'why do I keep doing this to myself? Haven't I learnt anything these past few years?'

As Elliott was pitying himself, Jaya walked next to him and said, "Debra's fate ingredient was just a bone from undead remains nothing worth noting but our Card Creationist turned that worthless bone into an undead summon card using the bone production ability of Ram bull." 

Elliott heard Debra loud and clear and knew what she was hinting at, so after a few minutes of consideration he said, "what is it going to cost me?" 

"Nothing much, how about you sign the contract, once The Jk group and Fine Gold group are partners then I will be obliged to help my friends." 

"No, that's not possible."

"Why? This is a win for both of us. You get to open a branch in Sky blossom city and we get a high-value client."

"At first it seems that way but looking at how the ex-partners of Fine Gold ended up I know better than that. 

You provide us with goods transportation and merchant services but along the way, you will slowly get to know our contacts, providers and start to acquire them one by one behind our backs until it's enough for you to overthrow us.

Guild Association mall is a giant with the government supporting them, they will not feel any effect if they make less in 12 cities but our Jk group is different. 

we are already pouring all our resources into expansion and if we fail then we will have no option but to shut down leaving you vultures to feed on our remains. And with us gone the market will be yours for the taking." 

Elliott explained, he was not explaining to Jaya or others but telling himself what he will be losing if he took Jaya up on her offer. 

Jaya did not care, seeing how frantic Elliott acted she knew she had this guy in her palm. 

One of the ladies from Elliott's entourage dressed black in office attire walked next to him and said, "Sir we have found the Card creationist, he does not belong to any guild or group, he is a freelancer. I have the address, should I make transportation arrangements." 

Hearing the lady, Elliott came back to his sense and glared at Jaya for trying to take advantage of him. 

Feeling Elliott's glare Jaya just shrugged her shoulders and said, "you can't blame a lady for trying, and we will arrange the required transportation after all you are Fine Gold guests" 

Right now Jaya felt like the lord was playing a joke on her, she was so damned frustrated but had to act professionally.

"Wyatt, I have created an online shop for you on the public network and listed all your achievements and clients. I know this is not much but even if it brings a single client it's worth it." 

"Thank you, Susan. Can you add Jaya Keith, I also helped her create an Origin card. She paid me 100 million $ as fees, rich people right!" 

"Oh! So that's where you got the money from. Okay then, I will add her too." 

"Whose address and contact info did you give?"

"I gave the warehouse address and my contact info. After all, I am your exclusive manager."

"You are Fine Gold guests, and we will arrange the required transportation." Having said that, Jaya turned to Carla and whispered, "make arrangements for their transportation. You ask the driver to turn on the network jammer while taking the lengthiest route to the destination and remind him to drive as slowly as possible." 

Carla did not know what Jaya was up to, but as a good secretary, she made transportation arrangements for Elliott and his entourage according to Jaya's wishes. 

Bidding Elliott and his crew goodbye, Jaya ran fast to her car shouting at the driver, "I don't care how but take me to Guild association mall Warehouse no.234 within 10mins. Your life depends on this!." 

The driver was a professional, he did not waste his breath on words but slammed the gas pedal and left the airfield hastily.

Time 8:45

Location Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no. 234

After finishing the second set of 100 G-rank storage trunk cards yesterday I reluctantly had to go home for sleep. I did not like the feeling of going back to an empty home, It felt lonely there. 

Since I did not spend any time at my flat and the Warehouse was registered as my office in the online shop, I decided to put a bed and shower in one of the warehouse corners so that I don't have to go home if I don't want to. 

I talked to Susan about this except for the part of me feeling lonely. She agreed with my proposal and said since we will be accepting clients and be conducting all our other work here might as well make the warehouse a bit presentable with a waiting room, an office, a staff kitchen and a restroom.

Unexpectedly Corey was very supportive of the idea of adding a staff kitchen, being cut off from family and with her current wages, she could not afford to eat out daily. So, she wanted to hand prepare her food, Lord only knows how it will work out for her. 

Susan said that she will contact the warehouse's management and make the changes by tonight, thanks to the occupational cards construction had become as easy as constructing a lego house. 

"Susan here, 200 G-rank storage cards see what you can fetch for them." 

"Wyatt, I can only sell a few at a time, it will take me a while to sell them all." 

"No worries, we are no longer short on cash. take your time." 

"I know someone who will buy all the cards and pay the full price upfront." Corey who was mopping the floor pitched in. Spending two days with us, Corey comfortably spoke with us and no longer cautiously considered every word that was spoken by her. 

Seeing Corey actively take part in conversations Susan's eyes glinted with brilliance as she passed 200 G-rank storage trunk cards to Corey and said, "okay then you are responsible for selling these cards."

"No, I didn't mean it that way. I am sorry." Corey misunderstood Susan's intention. 

If Susan sells these cards then she will get 60% out of 5% of mall service charges of the total cost, but now Susan gave it to Corey just like that. Corey only wanted to help Susan sell the cards not steal her sales. 

"No sweetie, It will take me weeks at best to sell all these cards but if you can sell it now, it's better right, don't worry about me losing money. If you sell those cards I will still be getting 20% in the 5% mall service charge as you are my staff while you will get 40%. It's better this way."

Understanding Susan's intention Corey nodded and said, "I won't let you down." While taking the 200 G-rank storage card from Susan's hand.

...

I was deciding on what to do next, I saw Jaya and her cronies walk into the warehouse. She noticed my gaze and smiled, seeing that smile I knew Jaya was up to no good. 

"Hi, Wyatt!" Jaya greeted me with a bright smile. 

'Fook, don't act like we are buddies you b!tch' I thought greeting her back, "Hey, Jaya what brings you here?"

"I was nearby and so I came, hope I am not being an inconvenience to you." Jaya's mouth said one thing but her eyes conveyed another thing. 

"I am busy if nothing else you know where the door is." This place was not Fine Gold, here I did not have to watch how I spoke to her or worry about getting on her bad side. 'This is not your turf bitch.' And I did not have to worry about ending up in a gutter without anyone noticing.

"Wyatt, don't be like that I have a big deal for you, Just like last time I will pay you $100 million to help my friend create a card." For some reason, Jaya did not seem to mind my rudeness. Instead, she tried to seduce me with money. 'What is happening?'

'Just like last time' '$100 million' both vibrated in my mind. Finally, my dignity trumped my greed as I said, "Sorry, Jaya it's not you or your money, it's me. From today I won't be providing my services to anyone related or close with Fine Gold." 

Hearing me Jaya sneered, standing next to me she whispered, "Really Wyatt are you sure, how about I add a few strands of my hair to your fee. What now you freak?"

"Why the Fook would you think adding a few strands of your hair will change anything?" I shouted dumbfoundedly. 'Wait did she find out about me returning to the bathhouse to steal her hair strands?' Of course, I would never admit to doing this even if Jaya had solid proof. 

"Don't you like me, aren't you stalking me? Didn't you take this hair to admire me from far away?" Jaya hastily said.

'I took those strands of hair for Jaya's DNA.' Of course, I would not admit my purpose in taking her hair even if Jaya claimed otherwise.

I looked at Jaya as if looking at a crazy girl. Both Susan and Corey who were listening from the side looked at Jaya with pity. They thought Jaya was delusional.

I had to do something before Jaya added Susan and Corey to her petty little list, thankfully another group of people entered the warehouse politely unlike Jaya and her cronies who rushed in arrogantly as if they owned this place. 

Seeing them I said to Susan, "Susan, why don't you and Corey attend to the guests, while I will handle this mess." 

Susan nodded and headed towards the new group of people, I did not know who they were but termed them as a guest to send Susan and Corey away anywhere but here.

Sending Susan and Corey, I looked at Jaya but she was anxiously looking at the new group coming in contact with Susan. I could see that the person leading the new group was also glaring at Jaya as if she had stolen his family fortune. 

Now I knew why Jaya was so desperate, it had something to do with the new group of people.
