"Sister!" Pax finally made his way to his sisters getting rid of all the reporters and social media influencers.
"Congrats, little bro!" Said Beth while Amy gave him a nod with a bright smile.
"Congrats Pax" Corey and Susan also congratulated Pax.
"Congrats Kid! I made a lot of money betting on you." I also congratulate Pax, even though I was not satisfied with his narrow 'by default win' but considering he had no experience operating a mech or an exo-armour I did not show my disappointment.
"It's all because of the card you created sir!" Pax humbly gave me all the credit, showing that children of big families are a lot mature and knowledgeable. Any other kid would be high on his first public card fight victory but not Pax.
While we six were busy talking a figure rush out of the crowd towards us, we were caught off guard but the figure did not hide his intentions so all the six of us were able to summon our grimoire and defended but the figure was were fast he made his way to Pax and grabbing hold of him the space surrounding the figure and Pax started to distort.
By now we all had gotten a clear look at the figure, he was a middle-aged man with an average build and the clueless face of a next-door neighbour. He looked so unsuspecting that nobody would expect him to be capable of this.
"Stop him, he is trying to teleport out of here!" Shouted Amy, now the staff and Whiteburn family members had already realised what was happening.
If not for the Poison Blaster Mounted Full Body Rainbow scaled armour I would be useless right now because of my lacking card collection.
I tried to fire a poison beam at the perp but the distorted space surrounding him blocked and rendered all attacks on the perp useless. Not just me, everyone else's attack was blocked by the distorted space.
The teleportation card used by the perp was a high-end card as normal teleportation cards could not distort the space surrounding the user to block all physical and energy attacks. But there seemed to be a downside to this high-end teleportation card used by the perp.
A normal teleportation card would have teleported the perp and Pax within 10 seconds but this high-end teleportation card seems to be taking longer than 10 seconds, nearly 20+ seconds.
"Not In My House!" A shout sound throughout the arena and the high-end teleportation used by the perp got cancelled midway. Not just the high-end teleportation but all the other cards used by the staff and the people to apprehend the perp got cancelled midway.
Then this huge pressure landed on the perp rendering him immobile letting Pax break free of his hold.
Breaking free from the perp, Pax glared at his immobilised attempt kidnapper and asked, "Why?"
The middle-aged perp looked at Pax with kind eyes while tears of blood flowed from his eyes and foam oozed out of his mouth as he spoke, "Forgive me Lord for I could not take you to your kingdom." Saying that the perp died due to suicide by poisoning.
"uh! … repulsive" commented Beth.
"It's a suicide by poisoning, it is meant to be disgusting." Said Corey.
"Father! you are back!" Shouted Amy excitedly
The voice from earlier sounded again, "Yes! Bring your siblings and friends to my study room."
"Yes, father!" Obeyed Amy with at most respect. And turned to us asking, "Mr Wyatt, Susan, Corey my father would like to meet you guys if possible."
Corey and Susan turned to me to hear my opinion, the Whiteburn family head wants to meet us, that's given considering how we helped his children when the rest of the world shunned them. He should be extremely grateful towards us and dying to show his gratitude. So I said, "of course, we will go meet the strongest Whiteburn."
"That's our grandfather but since he is out on an adventure, I guess our father is currently the strongest Whiteburn here." Said Beth. And then we followed the Siblings to the study room.
…
After Pax's kidnapping attempt incident the crowd was bursting with more gossip,
'Wtf! Just happen… who was that?'
'Maybe some old monster of the Whiteburn family!'
'I thought the 3rd elder was mysterious enough but compared to this senior the 3rd elder is more like an open book.'
'How did the senior nullify all our cards, what kind of card did the senior use? So unfathomable!'
'No you morons, it was not some old monster, it was the current Whiteburn's head of the family, Jack Whiteburn.'
'Wait! Jack Whiteburn! He is this strong. No wonder they allowed a crowd of Card apprentices inside their main manor without care, we are all ant in front of that kind of power.'
'Who was that fool trying to kidnap the family head's child so boldly?'
'Who else? The religious nutbag from earlier.'
'No wonder he looked familiar, who the fuck allowed these numbnuts in the city.'
'The city hall is trying to increase the export and trade to their kingdom so in exchange their citizens are now allowed in our city.'
'Doesn't the city hall not know that doing business with these nutjobs never ends well?'
'You know that! I know that! But who will tell the City hall! They are blinded by increased numbers of wealth in form of taxes this deal brought them.'
…
The Whiteburn manor was huge and extremely luxurious, especially the main manor where the family head resided. Amy soon brought us to her father's study room.
At the door, we saw a woman in her early twenties waiting by the door of the study room. She was gorgeous and beautiful but similar to many women I had seen in this world, she had well-toned muscles not enough to repulse men, maybe even considered attractive for some but not my type as I like soft, doughy type which I can squeeze to my heart's content.
"Sister, you are back!" The siblings shouted simultaneously and ran towards her in excitement.
"You little munchkin's! Elder Sister missed you guys so much!" Said Eliza giving each of her siblings a kiss on their cheeks and added, "hurry up don't keep father waiting."
"Father can wait! Sister, are you okay? I heard your team met difficulties this time around." Said Beth in concern. Her eyes showed that she was genuinely worried about her sister.
"I am fine sweetpea! Awe our little Beth is finally learning to care about others." Eliza teased Beth.
"Not others, just you!" Said Beth shyly.
