Location- Sky Blossom City, Southern Watch military base

"Old man, are you kidding me right now?" I asked Lorenzo, hearing what he wanted from me if I lost the wager. 

"Nope, I am being serious. The people who sent 30 Card Emperors to assassinate you know they have failed in their mission, and you are still alive. The ring leader behind it has consulted a curse master to curse you to death from afar. Boy, the people after your life are way beyond your current capabilities. Even the royal family cannot afford to underestimate them. You need to start considering your safety and trusting your friends rather than spinning conspiracies about them in your head." Lorenzo lectured me. 

"Old man, you worry too much. Anna gave me this dummy ring. It can protect me from the SSS-Rank curse. So there is nothing to worry about." Saying that, I added, "So, I am giving you another chance to change what you want from me."
