“Mr Jk, welcome to Sky blossom city.” Said Jaya extending her hand.

“Mr Jk is my father, call me Elliott, Ms Keith.” Reminded Elliott as he shook Jaya’s hand.

Jaya’s mouth twitched as her elder sister was addressed as Ms Keith not her, but she had to be the bigger person until the contract had been signed.

“Mr Elliott, how about I invite you to breakfast before we begin with the official business.” Said Jaya hanging a professional smile on her face.

“I am sorry to say this Ms Keith, that won’t be necessary as this contract won’t be happening.” Said Elliott.

Elliott knew Fine Gold Group would be the best partners to help open a branch of Jk Grain and Oil Ltd. in Sky Blossom city. But he also knew given enough time Fine Gold would not hesitate to copy their business and become their biggest competitor in the sky blossom city.

Their previous track with other companies was proof of this. Guild association mall was Fine Golds biggest client a decade ago but now Fine Gold mall has been established in 12 different cities.

Even though Fine Gold was the best option as a partner to open a branch in sky blossom city but it was not worth it. So, Elliott did not consider twice before abolishing the contract spoken by his predecessor.

“What?” This was sudden for Jaya, here she was considering how to deal with Elliott after the contract was signed but who knew she was thinking too much. The contract never went through.

“I came in-person to inform you about this out of consideration of Ms Keith. Let’s hope we may get to work together in future.” With an enigmatic smile, Elliott extended his hand as a courtesy.

Jaya’s mouth twitched, Ms Keith that Elliott mentioned here was not her but her elder sister. How embarrassing?

With a malignant smile, Jaya took Elliott’s hand as she applied her inhumane Viltronian strength in the handshake, as a show of strength and to embarrass Elliot.

Elliott was 24 years old yet he was still in the Card Scholar realm while she was 17 this year and already broke into the Card Soldier realm last night.

‘Crush!’

But who could have thought that she would crush Elliott’s palm with the little strength she applied. With the squeeze, Elliot’s palm was messed up beyond recognition, blood spilt on both Elliott’s and Jaya’s attire.

Seeing this both Jaya’s and Elliott’s bodyguards rushed to the front to guard their patrons. Securing their targets both the sides moved to a safe distance.

The Fine Gold side was on alert because they did not know what was happening as Jaya was unharmed and the blood on her seemed to belong to Elliott. ‘Did our young miss decide to kill Elliot because he did not want to work with Fine Gold’ they thought.

As for Jk Grain and Oil side, they seemed to be prepared for this situation as they had a healer in their group who healed Elliott’s hand back to normal in no time.

Having his hand nursed back to health Elliott walked towards Fine Gold to explain the situation but his attention was attracted by heroic bone armour covering Debra among Jaya’s bodyguards.

Shaking his head Elliott looked at Jaya and said, “Sorry for the scare, my bones are very brittle due to my health conditions and can break with just a touch. Then I will be taking my leave, Ms Keith.” Saying that Elliott with his entourage headed back to Jk group Airship.

One of Jaya’s bodyguards contacted Fine Gold headquarters and confirmed Elliott’s claims.

Turns out Jk Elliott the second child and first son of the Chairman of Jk Grain and Oil Ltd. was suffering an inherited disorder known as ‘Osteogenesis imperfect’.

Osteogenesis imperfecta is caused by defective genes. These genes affect how the body makes collagen, a protein that helps strengthen bones.

Since the cause was defective genes, the cure for this disorder could not be found in grimoire and cards. But he could reduce the effect of the disorder using cards like enhanced bones, steel bones etc

With Elliott’s advancement to the higher realm, the defective gene would also advance. Rendering low-rank cards useless, knowing this Elliott chose to limit his realm to the Card Scholar realm.

Knowing that normal cards cannot help him Elliott had kept all his hopes on his fate ingredient and origin card but his fate ingredients turned out to be Clear Scaled Earthworm core, a core of a beast that does not have a single bone in its body breaking all his hopes.

In despair, Elliott let go of what he cannot have and started to work on what he can have, which led to him joining his father’s company at the bottom but due to his continuous contribution, he was now offered to be Managing Director of the new Jk Grain and Oil Ltd Sky Blossom branch.

Seeing that the situation was normal now Jaya’s guards relaxed. Even Debra withdrew her bone exoskeleton armour.

Elliott who was heading to the airship turned back to take a last glance at the valiant bone armour only to be shocked to his core, sparking hope in his life again.
