Location- Sun Blossom City, Card Creationist Association, Auction house, VIP Venue
After placing a bid for the summon armament card I found other cards that could be helpful to me in tonight's adventure and placed the bid for them accordingly. Then I thought it was about time I put my plan to recruit James Cheng as a calamity daughter gem in motion, and said, "Master Cheng, where is the restroom, I would like to freshen up a bit."
"Sure, Master Wyatt. Let me take you to the exclusive restroom for the staff. It will not be as crowded as the regular ones," Cheng replied but this plan crippled my plan right at the start.
"I will go check up on Lucy," said Eliza, and then Rami proposed that he be soon heading towards a foxy Cougar who seemed to still be in her prime.
The Sin Squad were waiting near the regular restroom for me to bring the target of their mission to them but now things have changed as Cheng was leading me to the exclusive restroom for the card creationist association staff helping with the half-yearly auction. This way my plan failed even before it had the chance to take off. Thinking about it, I decided to improvise the plan rather than give up.
So while following Cheng to the card creationist association staff exclusive restroom I contacted the sin squad and asked them to track my location with Hive AI to the restroom and then continue with the previous plan as planned. Only the location of the plan had changed and all else remained the same. So there was not much improvisation to be made to the actual plan, it remained the same. The Sin squad would subdue Cheng and feed him the calamity daughter gem. During this process, the squad needed to make sure there was not a single witness to their crime.
Following Cheng, I finally arrived at another hall that was connected to both the regular and VIP venues, allowing the staff to freely travel back and forth between the two venues without wasting much time. The hall was surprisingly big and less crowded as all the staff was busy attending to the guests and maintaining the party. An interesting thing to notice was that though the VIP venue had fewer guests compared to the regular venue it had more staff attending it than the number of staff attending the regular venue.
Soon enough I arrived at the staff exclusive washroom under the direction of Cheng and I could feel the presence of my sin squad not far behind. I looked around to find that there were only a few staff in the hall and they were busy doing their thing. As for the restroom, I used my soul pupil to check that it was empty. Feeling the moment was right I signaled the sin squad to take action.
With my signal, the sin squad burst with full power and rushed toward Cheng, covering his mouth, and binding his arms, and legs. They made sure he couldn't scream or struggle and carried him into the restroom in a matter of a second.
Walking into the restroom I found the five members of the sin squad holding Cheng down. The confusion and fear were clear in Cheng's eyes. It grew stronger seeing me give no reaction to seeing him being restrained by a bunch of unknown card apprentices. It did not take him long to understand that I was working with the card lords restraining him. Cheng had a lot of questions in his mind but he couldn't ask as a hand was covering his mouth so hard that it felt like his mouth was about to be crushed.
Unlike Rami who was a card overlord, his best pal Cheng was not a card overlord but a card lord. Cheng's talent seemed to be very poor as he seemed to be unable to forge his ego gem even after trying for a few decades. This was good news for me as if Cheng had forged an ego gem then it would have been very difficult to restrain him with just his physical strength.
There was the reason why Physical strength was used to restrain Cheng and not some fancy cards or rules and their meanings, it was because of the energy detectors placed through the auction hall. It helps the security of the auction hall to monitor who is using how soul energy or rule energy at what location. And the systems would immediately flag the people who are using rule energy or soul energy more than it was required to make grimoire calls or make use of grimoire networks.
These security measures were necessary for the Auction house to make sure that people were not up to something not good as card apprentices who think they can steal from the auction house or use the auction house to target the society's elites were not less in number. The card creationist association's auction house was able to continue its half-yearly auction for decades as a tradition because they were aware of the risks and prepared for it.
To beat them at their own game and target their head, I had to go a little primitive and make use of physical strength to restrain Cheng, if not for the viltronian physique granted to the sin squad by calamity daughter gems they would not have the physical prowess to subdue peak card lord such as Cheng within a matter of second despite their numbers.
Ignoring Cheng's hate and anger filled glare I handed the sin squad a storage card containing a calamity daughter gem to use on Cheng and walked outside the restroom heading back to the VIP venue, not that I could not handle doing this myself but to avoid the preying of the certain curious semi-demigod hiding in my shadow. With this, the first goal of the reason why I came to visit sun blossom city was achieved and now I could move on to the second phase of today's plan.
