“Right now, I have one broken rune on me, Sugar Bear. Let me check how many broken runes Grinch, the vegetative assassin I caught, has.” saying that Lorenzo summoned his grimoire, which spat out vegetative Grinch.

“Old man, have gone senile? That is evidence.” Anna yelled at Lorenzo, who was about to dig out Grinch’s Ego Gem.

“Evidence of what? In his current state, he is as good as dead.” Lorenzo defended his intention to turn Grinch’s runes into broken runes.

“For you may be, but not for JJ. With JJ’s origin card, though vegetative, he will talk.” Anna is adamant about keeping the vegetative Grinch’s body alive.

“Fine, can I borrow some broken runes then?” Unable to dig out Grinch’s ego gem for broken runes, Lorenzo had no choice but to turn to Anna for help.

“Old man, let the person who needs them ask for them.” Anna denied Lorenzo’s request to borrow broken runes saying that if Luna wants the broken runes let her ask herself.

“Wyatt, let’s prepare the contract now with one broken rune upfront, and I will pay you the remaining broken runes in 3 days.” Luna did not even bother to ask Anna to lend her some broken runes. It seems there is still some friction left between the two cousins.

“Nope, that won’t work for me. Give me four broken runes now, or we don’t have a deal.” I was not interested in helping Luna in her empty space research. Yet, I chose to accept her job offer because I urgently needed broken runes to create the cards that would help me protect myself from any future assassination attempts.

“Okay, then I will contact you when I have four broken runes” Luna did not understand the difference between me getting the broken runes today and three days later, which is why she did not think of the possibility that three days after I may not be alive to take her job offer. And I did not bother to remind her of that. Because to her, even with broken runes, a card soldier can never defeat a card emperor. And I agree with her, but I could escape or trick them like I did today.

“Typical Luna,” Anna commented, seeing Luna not willing to borrow some broken runes from her.

*Ahem* clearing my throat, I drew Anna’s attention and asked, ” Anna, how about I pay for the broken runes by other means than Soul Jades?”

“Wyatt, darling, I thought you wanted to talk seriously?” Asked Anna, scanning me with a passionate gaze.

*Tsk* clicking her tongue, Luna looked at me with disdain.

“No, not that. I mean, how about I create rune cards for you in exchange for broken runes?” I did not want silver milk powder shares, so I had no choice but to offer my service in exchange for the broken runes.

*Hahaha* Luna, Lorenzo, and Anna, all three, burst into a loud laugh.

“Tell me you are kidding me, right?” Lorenzo asked, wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes.

“…” I stood calm and gazed back at all three of them with a serious look because I was confident in what I said.

“Oh, he is serious.” Seeing the serious look in my eyes, Lorenzo and the other two finally stopped laughing.

“Wyatt, don’t tell me you seriously think that your service as a card creation is worth a broken rune,” Luna asked with disbelief.

“I do. You saw the ego elemental I created with broken runes, right? Don’t you think they are worth a broken rune?” With Calamity daughter gem, I can create any broken rune into an ego elemental with ease.

“What? Didn’t Anna create those ego elementals for you?” Lorenzo enquired in surprise as he and everyone else believed that Anna gifted me the ego elementals.

“Nope, I created them myself. And I think they should be worth the price I ask off.” Desperate times call for desperate measures, so I no longer tried to hide that I was the one who created the ego elementals.

“No way, you just forged your ego gem. How can a novice like you refine a broken rune and cast it into an ego elemental? This is illogical.” Old man Lorenzo could not comprehend the idea that a total novice could create an ego elemental using a broken rune just minutes after he forged his ego gem.

“Anna, what do you say? I can help you create ego elementals using broken ruins in exchange for broken runes.” ignoring Lorenzo, I asked Anna.

“Ego elementals, I can create them too. Why should we pay you for their creation?” Anna asked a reasonable question

“That… my ego elements can be used by anyone. The broken runes used to create them will not resist new users. They will be as docile as any other runes of the user.” I knew this because I saw how the broken rune spirits were hostile to anyone who entered their ego gem.

“Is that it? I can do that too. Give up, Wyatt, anything you can do, a card emperor can do it better.” Before Anna could answer me, Lorenzo argued.

“You guys saw Pax’s mecha Iron Flesh right. What if I say I can build something five-time enormous than that using the broken runes? And anybody can use them. I bet the southern watch would love to equip your soldier with those.” ginormous mecha, that was what I was planning to build for myself. Well, not exactly a giant mecha but a Megamorpher formed by combining different mechas.

“Why would our soldiers need those giant puppets? They are already equipped with capable armors and weapons.” Lorenzo’s prejudice against me stopped him from looking at the picture I was trying to paint.

“I like the idea. A mecha, is that what you call that thing. With the firepower it was packing, the card apprentice equipping it could take on thousands of hostile card apprentices of the same Realm. Those huge armors will work wonders at the ‘Way Beyond.’

Good, but before we go any further, I would like a demonstration of the armor you create using broken runes. And if they are worth one broken rune.” Anna saw the picture I painted and was impressed enough to give me a chance to prove my claims.

“Yeah, I agree. If the so-called mechas are not half bad as you promise, they can help our soldiers posted at the way beyond a lot. Maybe we can reclaim some of the lost lands.” Luna seemed to understand the worth of mecha as a mass slaughtering machine.
