Card Apprentice Daily Log

Chapter 126: Slander

Date 24 Mar 2321

Time 9:39

Location Sky Blossom City, Whiteburn Manor, Main Courtyard, Study room

The city thinks that the Whiteburn’s are just a couple of barbarians who can only use their fists but they were dead wrong but you cannot blame them because the Whiteburn’s want the city to underestimate them as impulsive braindead brutes.

I mean think about it, if they only knew how to use their fists then how did they get the richest family in the whole city… unless the whole city is dumb or the Whiteburn’s are smarter than they are credited with. I have met Willam Bright so I knew that the whole city was not dumb and in the meeting with Jack Whiteburn and in 8 minutes I have been in his presence he has shown me 4 different sides to his personality, fuck I was having a hard time discerning which was his true self. The Whiteburn’s were smarter than they were credited for, no wonder none of the families were ever able to cross their yearly gross profit records.

Done speaking with Corey, Jack turned to look at Susan and Me. Amy hurriedly introduced us to him, ” Sorry! I forgot to introduce you guys. Susan, Wyatt this is my father Jack Whiteburn the current family head of the Whiteburn family. Father these are Susan Tucci and Dalton Wyatt, my friends who helped create Pax’s first origin card.”

‘I was just complementing the maturity and manners of big families earlier, you had to slap it on my face and prove me wrong. Whatever! Considering how worried you guys were for your father and sister’s safety I will forgive you guys this once.’ I chose to be the bigger man thinking about how Jake was going to reciprocate his gratitude, greeting the family head respectfully along with susan.

“Ms Susan I heard you applied to procure 30 tonnes of our C-rank liquid gold. If my secretary is doing her job correctly you are just an associate manager at Guild association mall. I don’t see any reason for you to purchase 30 tonnes of C-rank liquid gold.” Jack asked, as he intently waited for a satisfying answer from Susan.

Of course, Susan applied for 30 tonnes of C-grade liquid gold for me. After the news of Pax’s fight with Paul spread across the city I was bound to gain popularity and a substantial amount of traffic thanks to the dope ass Mech and Exo-armour. Before I had zero clients and had all the time in my world to sit with the customers and custom build a card for them… I do not know how much popularity I will gain but I had to be prepared, this was my idea but Susan was the one who alerted me about my upcoming traffic.

I did not know how big of traffic I will gain but I knew they all will want a golem or an armour card so I already planned what kind of material I should keep ready and settled on C-grade liquid gold, of course, this was only one of the materials but it was for my wealth deep pockets customers. I did not have to explain this to Jack, Susan can handle him herself.

“Lord, apart from my job as associate auction manager I also exclusively manage and represent Wyatt’s Online Card Creation Boutique. Those 30 tonnes of C-rank liquid gold I am procuring for my client Mr Wyatt.” Explained Susan.

Jack did not seem to be satisfied with Susan’s explanation, his brows joined into a frown and he glared at Susan and said, “see I heard you talk a bunch of words but I did hear an answer to my question. Maybe I was not clear the first time around, let me ask you again. What intention does a small-time Card Creation boutique like yours have by procuring 30 tonnes of liquid gold from my family?”

Jack ruthlessly pressured Susan. First, it was ‘can you’ now he no longer gave her an option she had to answer him. I guess this is his ruthless businessman side. But he did not intimidate Susan not because she was strong in some way or something but because she was doing nothing wrong and that was enough for a good person to face any odds. Sasan stared back into Jack’s eyes and said, “Lord Jack we need the C-rank liquid gold to create cards.”

“In what world would a small-time boutique like yours require 30 tonnes worth of liquid gold to create cards a few hundred pounds should already be enough for your boutique’s capacity unless you are planning to sell our family ore in the black market and make money through difference in the price of both the markets!” Accused Jack and doubled down on his accusation by adding, “Are you guys planning to take advantage of my children’s friendship to fill your pockets?”

Before Susan can claim slander, Pax hurriedly said, “Father they do need tonnes of ores to create cards… My first origin card alone required 60 tonnes of black steel alloy and 28 tonnes of black steel F16 alloy for creation. They are not using our friendship or anything.

” oh! Is it. Your origin card required 60 tonnes of black steel alloy and 28 tonnes of black steel F16 alloy for creation.” Asked Jack acting dumb.

“Yes, father! They are good friends and good at their job. And also is it possible that I can also acquire 22 tonnes of C-rank liquid gold, it will help strengthen my origin card.” Said Pax.

“Haha! You are one of the Whiteburn family heirs, of course, you can get 22 tonnes of C-rank Liquid gold… it is the first thing you have demanded from me for yourself, I will fulfil it.” Jack laughed heartily, unlike his previous arrogant and ruthless self.

It has been four years since Pax has moved into the Whiteburn family and he has only asked two things from Jack. One, to visit his mother’s grave once every year and Second, how to get stronger. The rest of the time he was the most obedient child Jack had, he would do everything he was asked of without a complaint, just like some doll or golem. Jack can see that the kid loved and respected him but had trouble communicating, so as a responsible father he decided to force Pax to speak his mind freely and make demands like his three sisters.

“Ms Susan I am sorry if I frightened you, I have heard my face can be frightening sometimes please don’t worry about 30 tonnes of liquid gold as long as you pay in full you can take away the liquid gold right now. Contact my secretary, she will help you. If you do not have enough capital we have loans for promising startups you can apply for that.” Having gained what he wanted Jack retired to his caring uncle angle.
