"You’re here, Matron," the Supre Leader called out as she arrived. He was standing next to the Emissary of Light on a red cloud, both of them looking down at the field.
The camp was getting packed under the heavy blood storm, as two forces were getting ready to move, side by side, each doing things their own way.
On one side, the undead card apprentices got to work in graveyard silence, without a wasted motion. The blood storm didn’t seem to affect them or their tainted armor. They moved like machines, every action precise, every position already known. It was eerily thodical.
On the other side, the demigod worshipers moved with a rough kind of order, their formations holding despite the blood storm. Banners stayed raised, sigils flickering with lightning. You could feel it building, like they were gearing up rather than just following orders.
Between the two sides, it almost felt like the ground split into two. Taking it all in, Sansa said, "You guys are thorough."
"I hope your paw clan is also just as thorough," the Emissary of Light remarked, adding, "That boy would rather die than surrender. So, your people need to capture every single person he values and cares for."
"Don’t worry, my people are already in position. Once the city is in chaos, they will quietly kidnap the targets and move them to our hideout No. 3 in the Way Beyond. If any complications arise, I will personally deal with them. You guys just make sure to attract all his attention toward you. Under no circumstances should he know what we are planning, got it?"
Sansa parroted the entire plan, drawing out her words, lifting her chin, and sweeping her gaze across the crowd with folded arms, making sure every undead and living card apprentice present noticed her and rembered her. This way all of them had a good enough mory of her.
The Supre Leader and the Emissary of Light both knew what Sansa was doing, but they didn’t bother to stop her or call her out. They literally didn’t seem to care, because they all had their own absolute fail safes against each other. This wasn’t new to them. They accepted it because they knew only by doing so could they work together. Otherwise, it would be very hard for the three of them to trust each other, let alone operate together.
"Aren’t you going to pack your camp?" the Supre Leader asked, finding that Sansa’s camp was still erect. Compared to them, Sansa had set up so many isolation, security, and anti-spy array formations around her camp. Each one of them was SSS-rank. He knew all three of them were rich, but they were also running big organizations. They had equally rich expenses. He couldn’t think of a good reason to discard multiple array formations that were not only high-rank but also in good condition. The Matron he knew wouldn’t waste so many resources.
"Not right now; there will always be ti to pack it after we complete the mission. I just hope you can get off that most wanted list, as you promised," Sansa answered Karl, then switched the topic by bringing up her paynt.
"It’s already taken care of. Go check the most wanted list. After this job, you and Baylor can restart your family in the very ho that you were chased out of. No one will bother you anymore," the Supre Leader said, paying the paynt he had promised to the Matron before the job was done because, in his mind, he didn’t have any doubt about the mission or her.
He believed, with the three of them working together, along with Gideon, it was simply impossible for them not to capture the boy and force him to hand over all his inventions, discoveries, and secrets before giving him to the masters.
Well, the masters didn’t say they could have the boy’s property. Actually, the masters wanted the boy for his property. Otherwise, they would have asked them to kill him on sight. Despite knowing that they wanted the information so that when they took the boy’s property from the cold hands of the masters, it would be simpler for them to take it over.
After all, that had always been their plan all along.
The reason the Supre Leader was working for the Masters and not independently like the Emissary of Light and the Matron was that he could know everything and more there was to know about the masters, so that when the day ca for them to wear the crown and sit on the throne kicking off the cold bodies of the Masters, they would know where their loot was and how to access it.
"Matron, I want all the mories of the boy replicated in the album card. I want mories he didn’t even know he had," the Emissary of Light reminded Sansa that, apart from kidnapping the boy’s loved ones, she had to replicate the body mories before handing him over to the Masters.
He believed that he could learn a lot by equipping the album card containing the boy’s mories and beco a genius of his caliber. If he made use of faith, nothing was impossible.
"Oh, yeah. Don’t worry, I’ll make enough copies for all of us," Sansa assured, as she sensed that every card apprentice, alive and undead, in both their forces had a mory of her.
Just as she guaranteed them, she quietly activated her origin card, escaping from their side while mory versions of herself appeared next to the undead and living card apprentices; they killed the undead and restrained the demigod worshipers.
Even before the Supre Leader or the Emissary of Light could react, their undead forces had been annihilated and the fanatic one had been captured.
"Matron, what is the aning of this?"
"Matron, I am going to kill you!"
