Chapter 92: Phantom Fleet

Date 23 Mar 2321

Time 00:29

Location Sky Blossom City, Fine Gold Sky Blossom Branch, Fine Gold Tower, Tower 1 Penthouse

As soon as Diana activated her origin card the roof of the penthouse blew up as 15 huge phantom warships floating in the air surrounded the penthouse. The cannons on the warships moved to aim at the clown masked person while a phantom warship slowly surfaced from the floor under Diana carrying her to join the rest of the warships. Diana was standing at the forecastle of the warship looking down at her Master and she shouted, “It is worth it and I am willing to risk my life for hers!!”

“Diana, you are the only problem disciple I had to teach till date… why do you have to be like this, why can’t to be like the others and just docile follow the Circles arrangement.” Said the Clown masked Person she could have killed Diana even before the Warships aimed at her but she could not act without orders of the Circle and Diana was her target to protect not kill.

“Aren’t the Wyatt couple example enough… weren’t they docile and followed the circle’s arrangement only to end up being hunted and killed by the circle, they would not even let their only child live in peace. Master just because you are the hunting dog of the Circle doesn’t mean you will not have the same fate as the rest of us. Now leave, do not give me a reason to blow you up…” Diana gave an ultimatum. Everybody knows that the Circle does not treat its members as humans but as mere tools to dispose of when the said tools lose their worth.

“Haha, you are right! Just because I am the hunting dog of the Circle doesn’t mean I will not have the same fate as the rest of you. But I don’t care… I just love the hunt and maybe the hunt would be more interesting if I were the prey don’t you think.” The Clown masked persons shouted excitedly as if she really thought that the hunt would be more interesting if she was the prey, if not the mask hiding her face one could see that just the idea of her being prey in a hunt turned her on and almost gave her an orgasm.

“No Master! If you are involved in the hunt you would automatically become the predator.” Said Diana to which her master agreed and said, “you are right I am just too damned strong.” It may sound like bragging but Diana knew better, her master was really strong especially the cursed fire of her master’s origin card “Summon- Twin winged cursed lizard”

…

By now everyone in the Fine Gold Sky Blossom Branch was alerted of an assassination attempt on their chairman the security started to follow the protocol but were stopped by Cindy saying that, “The Chairman is just negotiating do not disturb her you will only get in her way!”

The Fine Gold staffs believed in the strength of their chairman and words of their managing director But they were having a hard time deciding who’s order to follow as they were led by Jaya the heir of the company, should they listen to the Managing Director or the only Heir, they felt like walking on eggshells.

“Cindy! you witch I knew you were up to no good from the start! Are you planning a coup colluding with foreign forces to take over the Fine Gold?” Blamed Jaya.

“You know Jaya there is a saying that words are more powerful than fists, today I understood what it meant. Thank you for helping me understand that.

As for your baseless accusations, if I were colluding with the enemy for a coup then wouldn’t I have killed you the heir first for a hassle-free succession.” Cindy knew that she had her differences with Jaya because while rising Jaya Diana only knew to spoil Jaya and she ended up as the one disciplining Jaya.

Hearing Cindy’s words Jaya gritted her teeth and looked at the staff, she knew she had less status in the company compared to Cindy but today she finally knew how less her status was as none of the staff were willing to follow her orders and leadership in a time of crisis. Letting out a snort, Jaya said, “Fine! I will go alone then.” And rushed to the penthouse office.

…

“Diana you know just this is not enough to force me to back the hell up… come you are smarter than that” a fleet of phantom warships may slow her down but not enough to threaten her. With the numerous escape cards in her grimoire, the clown masked person was confident enough to escape the encirclement of the phantom warship fleet and return to kill Jaya when Daina’s Origin card was in cool down.

“Master! You underestimate me… 15 years is a long time I have learned from my mistakes, do not force me…” saying that Diana forwarded an image file to her master’s grimoire.

The Clown person opened the file only to see an image of two cards with their card info, in shock she said, “looks like you have indeed learnt from your mistakes, these cards do fix the shortcomings and even strengthen your origin card but it is still not difficult for me to kill you and then complete my mission.”

“Come on Master! Who are you kidding? without the Circles orders, you won’t harm a single hair on my body let alone kill me. As for your mission… isn’t it just a sham to warn me.” Said Diana, catching her master’s bluff.

“Okay! I will leave but I will be expecting you to transfer the funds and the guild to me soon.” Said the Clown Masked person, she had to compromise since it would be impossible even for her to kill Jaya while defending against Diana and her phantom fleet. She was a brute but even she knew not to underestimate Diana’s prowess 15 years ago Diana could already threaten her but now maybe it was possible for Diana to even kill her who knows what cards she was hiding, that is if she was only allowed to defend not attack.

“Good!” Diana nodded in agreement with her master. Diana did grow stronger in the past 15 years but so did her master, so it’s good that the dispute was settled peacefully.

“Roar!” Summoning her Twin winged cursed lizard the clown masked person left and Seeing that Diana sighed in relief. If she had to fight her master Diana had the confidence to kill her master but it meant revealing her powers and alerting the Circle. Alerting Cricle could only end with her demise.
