"Mr. Rami, sorry I had to attend to the other guest. And ended up neglecting you." I said politely.

"I understand. Please don't feel burdened. If I remember correctly, you visited me yesterday with a request. If you don't mind, could you tell me how I can be of help to you?" Rami asked humbly.

"Since you asked, I will not beat around the bush. I heard you from Sun Blossom city."

"Yes, born and raised," Rami responded proudly.

"Then what is your opinion about the Circle opening a branch in your city." For someone in Rami's position, it should be clear that the Circle is bad news. But why does he allow it to infest his city?

"Master Wyatt, regarding that. Since you know that the circle here is just a branch, then you should know how powerful are the people backing them. Not to mention they have half-sovereignty granted to them. My hands are tied in this matter." Half-sovereignty means the Royal family and its related forces cannot obstruct or meddle with their business.

"Okay, I will be more specific. Are you for them or against them?" Seeing Rami hesitate to state his position on the Circle matter, I decided to be more direct.

"Master Wyatt, that is too specific and unfair. This is not as simple as labeling good or bad. The interest of a lot of people is involved in this matter. What I am trying to say is that the Circle is well connected, and if you were to shake it, then a lot of people would be unhappy." What Rami was trying to say is that the southern region is corrupt, and the Circle is their passive and steady income. And they will not hesitate to do anything to keep the cash flowing in.

"Do the people you talk about involve Anna or people close to her?" Rami was being rigid about this. He wanted to be on my good side without doing the work for it. From where I come from, people like that are the first to abandon the ship at first sight of trouble. What I am trying to say is Rami is proving that he is not worth making a friend.

"Not that I know of," Rami answered reluctantly.

"Then are you one of them?" I asked if Rami was one of the people whose interest is tied with the Circle's ship.

"No way in hell." Rami cried out, defending himself. The same enthusiasm was missing when defending Anna and those close to her. Proving that this focker is knee-deep in corruption, has dipped his toes in Circle's bribes, and his loyalty to the southern royal family was for sale.

"Good, I will invade Sun blossom city tonight to wipe out the circle. And I require you to help my troops invade and leave the city unnoticed and stop the local families and authorities from coming to aid the circle." Knowing that a willing corporation cannot be achieved with Rami, I decided to force him to a corporation. I did not use the soul contract from the wager; I was saving it for later.

"What?" Rami cried out in astonishment.

"You heard me right. Do what I ask you, and you will be spared. Or tomorrow's top search in the grimoire network would be regarding corruption in the medical card association." Now that I know Rami is dirty and he knows that I know he is corrupt, and I have the southern emperor on my speed dial, he will cave to my wishes without me having to use the promise I won against him last night.

"Master Wyatt, you don't have to go that far. We can all discuss it." Rami was really angry at the teenage card soldier in front of him, but he could do nothing despite being a card overlord as a card emperor was present next door. Therefore he had no choice but to talk reason into the boy and stop him from killing his golden goose, the circle.

"Mr. Rami, I am still respectful to you because your grandson is my biggest fan. Don't make me repeat myself. My people will contact you, corporate with a smile. Rami, you have a good life ahead of you. Don't disappoint me." Knowing what kind of man Rami was, I handled him the only way he would understand. I was not afraid that Rami would alert the circle because he knew what he has today is because of his head post in the Blossom district medical card association. Therefore he would not do anything that could jeopardize his job and follow my command to dot. Anna's entrance had made things a whole lot easier.

"Thank you, master Wyatt. I you won't br disappointed." Rami replied submissively. He no longer cared about his pride and other bullshit. All he wanted was to save his job.

"If nothing else, you guys can take your leave now." Now that I had Rami's leashes in my hands, I excused the grandfather and grandchild.

…

[Calling Diana…]

"Hello, Boss. How can I help you?" Diana responded to the call.

"Prepare the troops. We are going to invade Sun Blossom city tonight." I announced. Having already announced the same to Van and Old Ben through Hive AI.

"Yes, boss," Diana affirmed without hesitation.

"Contact Rami. He will help our troops to bypass the city gates and keep the local families and authorities at bay while we destroy the circle to its last brick. Don't hesitate to order him around. Make full use of that corrupt bastard."

"No worries, boss. I won't disappoint you." Diana did not need me to tell her that. She knew full well how to utilize people to their full potential.

"Good to know you are enthused." Having thrown all the work to Daina. I freed my schedule till tonight.

Then I noticed Kane Kage run back into the warehouse. Hanging up on Diana, I asked, "Kane, why did you return? Did you forget something?"

Kane answered, "Master Wyatt, please help me create my origin card."
