Miracle Card Shop: All My Cards Can Be Actualize

pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ — 3 Days passed —

During those three days, Greed had taken many security measures to ensure the safety of her friend during the extraction of blood and magical essence. She had asked the Hightower branch in the Tessia Kingdom to send her a copy of the contract between her friend and that idiot Willow.

Today was the day the copy of the contract arrived at her law firm, of course, it was the law firm that works in both the mundane world and the Curtained World. Many mages and non-mages who specialize in the law of both world's law happily work for her in this law firm because she pays her employees very generously.

Now she has her employee review the contract to see if that Willow guy did anything funny to it, including the clause and wording of the contract to see if there is anything she could use to her advantage if something happens.

In the president's office at the research facility, Greed sat at her desk and read the copy of the contract in her email that her staff at the law firm had sent her, with some of the findings they had deciphered from the contract and several ways she could take advantage of it.

The contract has three key points.

First: Willow's family must provide the genuine magician ID card to Artificer Daniel within 4 days starting from the day this contract was made.

Second: The Willow family will not pass this information toward the third party unless the Witch of Wrath requests so.

Third: In return, the witch of wrath will give the willow family her blood and magic essence.

These are the three key points of the contract if either side reneges on their part of the deal. They will be punished by the maximum penalty under the Hightower law. Which is the extraction of the magic vein or withdrawal of the protection of the Hightower law for three months.

Greed read the context of the contract and let out a sigh, feeling a little bit of pity for her friend. This contract was clearly not fair to her.

Wrath magic and blood essence if it got made into an elixir, could increase the consumer magic power permanently. It's like trading a real plane for a toy car.

Now that Wrath had safely finished with the extraction procedure and rested in the patient room within this facility. She could put her mind to checking on that Willow guy who had already gone back with the briefcase containing Wrath magic and blood essence.

Greed called her acquaintance in the Hightower HQ in London and told them to look up the Willow family information in the Hightower database since she thinks she heard about them from somewhere before but can't recall it.

She waited for half an hour before her email notified her that she got the information from her acquaintance.

"Let's see…" Greed began to read her email. But the longer she reads, the more complicated her face becomes as the deal between her friend and that Willow guy starts to smell fishy.

"Shit… The Willow is the branch family of the Alchemont clan!?" She blurted out in shock.

No one in the mage community didn't know the name Alchemont. They are the sole creator of homunculus that many mages use in their household, ranging from the servant homunculus to the homunculus body that is more powerful than normal human bodies which many mages are using.

She read further and found that the Willow family used a different method in creating a homunculi body. They use the tree called the Sylvan tree which is the native magical tree only found in the secret pocket dimension in the Tessia Kingdom.

The Detail about how they created one didn't include it as it was the business secret of the Willow family.

But from what she knows about modern-day homunculi, it was created by mixing mundane technology such as cloning and biology technology with old alchemy. Thus creating a body good enough for the magician to use.

If the Alchemont gets their hands on Wrath's magic and the blood essence. Then they could create a homunculus strong enough to be considered a trump card! And their influence on the Hightower Council would increase again.

Greed wants to tell Wrath about it but decides to wait until her friend wakes up. Then she took out the smartphone from her suit and dialed one of the contacts from her long list of business partners.

"Good evening, do you want to know the latest information about the new development of one of the branch families of the Alchemont clan?"

Then she begins to tell the other side about Edwin Willow, who is trying to escape from the United States to the Kingdom of Tessia or Europe, where the main Alchemont family is located.

Wrath repeated this process several times until she felt that the forces should be enough to stop Edwin from escaping.

She sold the information about Edwin and his precious cargo to Achimont clan enemies, and hope that they will serve their purpose and be able to stop him. She will consider the blood and magic essence of The Witch of Wrath to be the bonus for whoever manages to stop Edwin.

– 3 hours later –

After he got what he wanted, Edwin immediately checked out of the hotel, but unfortunately. In San Francisco, no business owner doesn't want to curry favor with The Witch of Greed. Especially the people at the top of the business world pyramid who are privy to the existence of the Curtained World.

As a result, his checkout process was met with many mishaps and delays and the hotel owners are making sure that Edwin's checking out process is delayed as much as they can. They make sure to make Edwin as comfortable as he can be in staying at their hotel including compensating him with many VIP services while he's waiting for the checking out process.

With the compliment from the beautiful women and the attention, Edwin never got in his life that made him feel like a king, like a celebrity. The false and sweet poisonous lies from Greed's scheme make him feel like the king of the world.

Greed's scheme works very well, too well in fact. He enjoys every service and compensation the hotel throws at him until he loses himself and loses track of time.

Edwin could only get out of the hotel after sunset as he was delayed for three hours. With happiness lingering in his mind, He came out of the hotel with a lot of compensation money and the false favor the hotel owner asks of him to introduce them to the Curtained World community.

This makes all of Edwin's wariness and caution disappear as he knew that many elites of the societies of the mundane world are privy to this secret so he takes all of the compensation for granted and enjoys himself to the extreme.

In the taxi Edwin was still smiling happily while taking the taxi like he own the world, not noticing that the taxi turn to the dark alley near the airport.

<Shatter>

The car window shattered as many magic bullets that were designed to be pierced through the basic magic shield of the mage crashed through Edwin's head unobstructed as Edwin didn't even have a right mind or consciousness in his current state.

<Splattered >

His head exploded as a watermelon and the red-white patterns inside the head splattered all over the car.

As for the driver, he didn't even faze at the death of his passenger but what made him faze was another matter.

"This is… disgusting!" The black man driver swore and then got out of the car with frustration as he is the victim of the red-white matter that splatters on his head.

"Why the fuck are you using the large caliber for! His brain matter nearly got into my mouth!" He shouted toward the dark corner of the alley and a man in a long coat with a large sniper rifle walked out of the dark corner of the third floor of a nearby building.

That man waved his hand toward the driver and many of the people who hid nearby slowly got out of their hiding places. Even the mage who works as a bounty hunter dispelled his camouflage magic and surrounded the car.

"Mo***r F***er…" The Driver swore again, this time both he and his friend who are a sniper raised their hands, indicating that they don't want any trouble.

"Ok.. let's make a deal, shall we?" The black man stated as he knew that he and his friend can't fight this many people who suddenly came out of nowhere.

"Do you think you have the right to negotiate with us? Hyenas" One of the mages who came out of hiding asked the driver.

Hyenas as the shunning terms used by the mage to call the Mage Hunter. As it was a profession shunned by the mage community because it was reserved for the non-mage combatant working for the Syndicate Union.

Even though Mage Hunters are capable of killing a mage and even taking down a strong mage if a pack of them work together, they can not take down a squad of mages no matter how skilled they are.

They are still normal humans after all. That's why the mage would compare them to how the hyenas hunt as even a pack of hyenas could take down a lion but at the end of the day, they are still the hyenas.
