Even Laura could not help but praise the control of the Sword Spirit over its sword intent. As a sword slave who had dedicated her life to the way of swords, Laura, herself, needed months before she could achieve something like that with her sword intent.

The reason the sword spirit had such control over its sword intent was that its master Joe had sacrificed an A-rank sword intent card to awaken it in its current state. If the sacrifice was a certain amount of sword intent rather than an entire sword intent card then the sword spirit would not be as adept in the way of the sword as it was right now. Joe’s decisiveness had indeed increased his odds of winning this duel.

‘What? Weren’t you the one that said I should use this due to hone my body and break through my physical limit,’ Corey asked Park in confusion.

‘Forget what I said, I overestimated you. You need a physical body to break through its physical limit so just equip a gauntlet nothing more, it should be able to make up for your lacking physical defense,” Park lied, she was fully aware of what the current Corey was capable of, but she underestimated the sword spirit. At first, when she sensed the spirit she clearly felt that it was in its infancy and would not be that adept in the way of swords overlooking the fact that Joe had permanently sacrificed his sword intent card to awaken the Sword Spirit unlocking its full potential at the A-rank and Rare-grade.

‘Fine,’ Corey reluctantly agreed to Park’s advice even though she did not agree with it, feeling that she could face the Sword Spirit’s sword intent head-on. However, she was not willing to risk it to find out if her gut was right. As Park said she needed to have a physical body to break past its limits and hone it. Just as she was about to summon Park’s armory and take out a set of gauntlets of her size and appropriate for this situation she heard the voice she hated the most, it was her perverted boss.

“This duel has not concluded yet? Corey, I seem to have overestimated you. Die in peace, as your boss I will avenge your death,” I said arriving on the sidelines of the compact arena in Corey’s fancy warehouse.

“Wyatt, are you challenging the Windsor family’s honor?” Agatha asked me while looking at me with a gaze filled with playfulness.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

“No shit, since I have already given my word to my staff I have to back my words up no matter what. Now, you tell if the Windsor family is challenging my honor? How about I challenge Aba to a life-and-death battle to defend my honor?” I responded to Agatha, glancing at Joe and his goons.

“Hahaha,” Agatha laughed, seeing Aba hide behind her. As Aba did not know that Agatha and the boy were mocking the Hill family for their cheap stunt and not actually pushing her into a life-and-death duel. Aba had already heard of how the boy had killed numerous card lords during his battle in the sun blossom city. Aba was confident about her strength but not enough to challenge a card lord.

“The only one dying here today is that jerk. So save your honor for somebody else,” Corey yelled pointing at Joe who was hiding behind his sword spirit.

“Sure,” I said, shaking my head and making my way to Susan having pointed out Laura, the one with the sword slave physique, to Anna and Ann.

Feeling the gaze of Anna and Ann, Laura turned to look at them. It did not take long for Laura to recognize Anna but seeing two of her she was confused for a second before she collected her wandering thoughts and immediately knelt on one knee before greeting them, “Your highness, Southern Emperor.”

“Raise, there is no need for this courtesy,” Anna excused Laura. Following Laura’s lead Joe’s goons greeted Anna but they did not kneel like Laura did as they were subordinates of the nobles of the central region and not the southern royal family.

Anna ignored Joe’s goons and glanced at Susan as I headed toward her. Having thought of something she suddenly pulled me into her embrace and forced me into a non-consensual smooch.

Susan was gobsmacked seeing another woman kiss her young love. She wished she could say something witty or did something bold and brave to put an end to it, but she was just sort of…frozen.

After a long passionate kiss, Anna then discarded me like a used tissue. It wasn’t clear if she was marking her territory in front of Susan or provoking her. However, Susan considered the act of Anna kissing her young boss as a sign of blatant provocation. Her clenched fists were the evidence of that. Susan could not do much as the one being kissed did not protest the kiss.

Anna’s action attracted the attention of everyone in the warehouse. Almost all of them were surprised by Anna’s bold action, even Ann was astonished to see Anna kiss the boy when they agreed that she was going to invade his personal space until he came to his senses that she was the one for him. However, only one person was happy with Anna kissing the boy and that was Corey. She believed this would help her big sis Susan see the boy for who he is, a womanizer.
