Chapter 1019: Karl

Time- 01:35     

Location- Central region, Capital City, Baylor Manor     

No matter how much Sansa tried to think of a mid-ground in case her minions failed to kill the boy for the second time she came up with nothing as for some reason just the thought of that boy being associated with her or her husband in any way repulsed her to her core. Sansa thrived on others' hatred toward her but never thought she, herself, would develop such hideous hatred for a person and the target of that hatred would be a mere boy no less. This ugly hatred of hers for the boy was why she did not hesitate when considering making use of desperate measures to kill the boy.      

Having up on the flower thief, Sansa did not bother to continue and monitor the live memories of the flower thief and team. Instead, she immediately called the supreme leader to check if they were still on the same page.      

[Calling SL Karl…]      

Soon the call connected, and the other side did not immediately answer instead waited for the caller to lead the conversation with the reason for their call. Since they both knew who was at the other end of the call, they considered it to be pointless and a waste of their time to engage in small pleasantries such as exchanging greetings over a call.      

"You never change," Sansa said, knowing the Supreme leader's habit.      

"What is it Susan, how can I help you?" a deep voice answered from the other side of the call, he did not seem to bother to participate in small talk.     

"Straight to the point, you know Karl your routine makes you very predictable," Sansa did not seem to care that the person on the other side of the call did not want to engage in small talk with her.      

"Sansa, my routine saves me time, which in your case seems to only serve your sadistic side. Do you feel aroused knowing that it annoys me when you don't get to the point as my routines suggest you to?" Karl said, feeling irritated that despite his repeated warning Sansa would continue to try and engage him in senseless conversation just to satisfy her sadistic urges.      

"I love it when you talk dirty to me, my sadist side, awe, you know me the best. If not for my husband, you would have been my next choice, you know that right," Sansa said with a sultry voice fully knowing that this would only add to Karl's annoyance.      

"No, and I think it's for the best," Despite trying not to Karl had to participate in Sansa's conversation even if it was just to refute her.      

"It breaks my heart when you say such things, Karl. Now tell me, why would you want to hurt me like that?" Sansa teased Karl.     

"Enough, keep your small talks for your brainwashed buffoons. Now get to the point and don't force me to hang up on you," Karl had enough of Sansa and her pointless blabber, considering the already existing tension between the two of them he was in no mood to entertain Sansa and her quirks.      

"Oh my, that almost gave me an orgasm," Sansa responded to Karl's yell.      

"..." Hearing Sansa's response Karl was speechless, though this was usual and expected of Sansa he wanted to hang up on her but he valued his alliance with her and did not want to worsen what little trust they had but if she forces him to, then he had no choice but to stand true to his words.      

"That's it? Karl, honey, don't leave me hanging let me finish," hearing no reply from Karl Sansa spoke up.      

"Matron, you seem to be busy, I will call you after you have finished," Saying that Karl prepared to hand up on Sansa but did not as hearing Sansa yell, "Karl don't you dare hang up on me."      

"Sure, but if force I can't be held accountable," Karl stopped considering the long-term and rewarding alliance between the two of them.      

"Fine, give me the update on the boy and your plans for him," Sansa stopped teasing Karl, knowing that he was not good at taking a joke.      

"What boy?" Karl asked in confusion. As if it was the first time he had heard Sansa bring up the boy.      

"Don't play dumb, you are fully aware of whom I speak off. After all, he is after the life of one of your chess pieces," Considering the importance of the Circle's branch leaders in the grand schemes of the Circle's Supreme leader's plan Sansa knew that the Supreme leader would definitely be informed if one of them were in harm's way.      

"I get why the boy is after my chess pieces but I don't get why you are after the boy?" Karl's words seemed simple and straightforward enough but the tone he spoke in made it seem like he blamed Sansa for the bad blood between the boy and his organization.      

After all, it was Sansa who introduced him to the boy's parents. If it were not for her his pawn would never have taken interest in the boy's parents 20 years ago when they moved to Sky blossom city.      

It was Sansa who wanted her pawn to make life difficult for the boy's parents. It was Sansa who said that killing the couple right away would be troublesome. Because of her demands, they had to wait twenty years before they finally killed the couple.          

Not to mention the only reason the boy was spared was that Sansa felt his death right after the death of his parents would stink of conspiracy and rather asked them to wait a few weeks before innovatively killing the boy.     

Following her demand, his pawn did come up with an innovative way to kill the boy but it took a few weeks longer than she prescribed, and then for some unfortunate reason, things spiraled out of his pawn's hands with the unpredicted and sudden exponential rise of the boy.
