“Where are you taking us? We should be searching for Pax right now.” Amy asked me as I hurried towards the VIP balcony. As two of my Stone Viltronians carried half dead Fatty Chou and Seriously injured Eliza.

“To the Chou family VIP section. If you have any clue to where Pax is you can go find him. As for me, I will get these two treated. Fatty looks like he is already half step in death’s doorstep. And even though your sister is putting on a brave face, a point-blank attack from a peak Card Lord is deadly even for a peak Card Master such as her.” Getting this fatty and Eliza treated was my priority and also I do not want to fight the demigod worshipers trying to find Pax.

If Pax is as important to them as the demigod worshipers portrayed earlier then there is no way that the empire would have sent just a bunch of Card Lords and Card grandmasters to kidnap him. There have to be a few stronger card apprentices hiding in the shadows, it’s about time they made their debut seeing how all the plans of the empire failed.

“Fine, I will do that… ” as Amy was about to argue Eliza interpreted her with her weak and nearly audible voice, ” Amy, stop it. I have already informed our father about the situation here. The family has put the city under martial order, so do not worry about Pax, we will find him soon.”

“Amy, let’s get big sis healed first. Then we can go to find Pax together.” Beth persuaded Amy with red and teary eyes. Beth also wanted to find her brother as soon as possible but she did not want to see her other siblings get injured in the process.

“Okay, fine. But once his sister gets healed we will search for Pax.” Seeing the concern in her twin’s eyes and the barely conscious elder sister Amy decided to stick with her sisters for now.

“Matriarch, young master Kindle is not responding to our calls. I worry that he is stuck in the medic ward. Shall I send a few of our family experts to secure the young master?” A formally dressed Chou family head maid reported to the Chou family Matriarch Misha Chou.

“No need, Chou family experts’ time is too precious to be wasted on that worthless son of mine. He can’t die anyway. Let this be a lesson for him.” Hearing the Matriarch the head maid sighed in desperation. As Kindle was the only direct line heir of the Chou family, if anything were to happen to him Kindle did not have any siblings to fill his position. Meaning, the Chou family main bloodline would end with Kindle Chou death as the matriarch was already too old to bear any more heirs for the family. Though normal means cannot kill the young master as he is practically immortal, there are obvious side effects to the young master’s origin card which a keen eye can easily exploit.

“Yes, Madam. Then I will ask the elders to find and assist the young master.” The current head maid used to serve as the nanny of the Matriarch during her young age. And she knew Misha Chou very well. Despite her stone-cold exterior and cruel words, she has a needle-sized soft spot in her heart for very few special people in her life. And her only son Kindle Chou was the top one among them. But the Matriarch and the young master despite being mother and son both were opposite to each other. To put it in layman’s terms Matriarch was an achiever and the young master was a pushover. The only thing they both had in common was their stubborn and obstinate opinions. Which made it so that the Matriarch would not openly show any kind of concern for the young master, her precious and only disappointment.

“Whatever” the Matriarch replied nonchalantly while in her mind she thought, ‘ family experts! You want to send people who can barely protect themselves to protect my son. You must be kidding me. Send those old geezers, all they do is sit on their ass and boss around the family juniors with their elder title. Fuq, if there is even a single screech on my son’s body I will cut their one month’s salary and incentives for every scratch.’

Just as the head maid was about to relay the orders of the Matriarch to the elders she saw a boy accompanied by two girls and two stone elementals carrying two injured bodies. Upon inspecting closely, the head maid realised that one of the injured figures carried by the stone elementals was her versatile young master.

“Young Master!” The head maid screamed in panic seeing the bloodied young master. Being a professional maid for more than 5 decades it was unlike the head maid to scream and behave so unprofessionally. The head maid could not control herself because in her eyes the Matriarch and the Young master were like her daughter and grandchild.

Hearing the head maid’s panicked scream the whole balcony turned to find the source of the scream, especially the Chou family members as they recognised the scream as the scream of their family head maid.

…

“Young master!” As we neared the Chou family I saw an old lady look at unconscious bloodied Fatty and scream in panic. Her scream attracted a lot of curious gazes on me and the girls.

“Why are you being so dramatic aunt? He is alive, isn’t he? Rejuvenating Cloud ” The head maid was the only servant in the Chou family worthy to be addressed as aunt by the family Matriarch. The Matriarch nonchalantly glanced at her half-dead Son and activated a card summoning her grimoire.

Hearing the Matriarch’s emotionless words I was shocked. I never thought that a mother could be so indifferent to her son who was half step in the death’s doorstep. My shock died as I saw a green cloud cover Fatty Chou and Eliza as it rapidly healed their wounds. Right now I was speechless and a little awkward, not knowing what to do now as the Chou family Matriarch healed Eliza and Chou without an explanation.

“The Demigod Worshipers are attacking the city. Please help, our brother is missing.” Beth shouted looking at the Chou Family matriarch and begged for her help. Okay, I did not know we could do that. It seems knowing when to ask for help and whom to ask for help is an important lesson I still have to learn.

“Matriarch, where are you going? Young master he…” the head maid called out to the Matriarch who was heading out of the VIP balcony but was interrupted by the Matriarch midway.

“Didn’t you hear the girl the demigod worshipers are attacking the city? What are you guys waiting for? An invitation! Have you forgotten your duty towards the city and its people?” The Matriarch yelled at the nearby prominent families who were watching a show despite knowing what was happening while neglecting their duties towards the city.
