How dare he! How dare he! Seeing the guts of the traitor to bring up her mom Anna was enraged. Infuriated Anna was no longer thinking straight, her mind was consumed by anger so much that she wanted to blast the noisy card stadium below her but soon a figure of a teenage boy flashed in her mind, halting her in her action. Remembering the teenage boy Anna came to her senses and regained her calm.

Anna\'s fascination with Wyatt was not because she fell in love with him but because she genuinely admired him. She admired him for his guts to cheat a Card Emperor while he was at his death bed losing both his feet, an arm and an ear. Despite her sadistic and foxy impulse Anna always tries to be aware of her surroundings and the people she is surrounding herself with.

Thinking back to the day she met with Wyatt she noticed that despite losing his feet, arm and ear Wyatt bargained with her till she caved to his terms. And as the cheery on the top, he tricked her into thinking that she was taking advantage of Wyatt, which prompted her into agreeing to provide him protection. Later he dared to trick her again into buying the dungeon for a fortune despite there being no competitors for it. When Anna knew all this she was angry but her eyes showed appreciation for Wyatt.

Anna longed for what Wyatt had, which made her think that being with him and knowing him should help her learn what makes Wyatt different from the rest of the herd. But sadly Anna who did not have a normal childhood did not know how to make friends, all she ever had were flings, subordinates and enemies. Knowing Wyatt she knew he would not respond well to her authoritarianism therefore Anna decided to offer herself to Wyatt to seek what she lacked in him.

What did Anna lack? She was the Card Empress of the Heatsend Clan. She was born with a genius-level aptitude and intelligence. As for the other materialist things they would be provided by her clan. Confidence and willpower, Anna had so much of it that she ascended to the Card emperor realm before 100 years of age. In a way Anna was lacking nothing, that\'s what she thought until she walked into the real world and found out that she was just another emotion-filled hormone controlled meat bag. Being used by her father to kill an entire family made Anna realise this reality. Numerous decades have passed since that incident but Anna still could not get over the fact that she played right into that man\'s hand.

How could she allow that traitor to take advantage of her like that, though Anna could not find answers to this question she understood how someone so smart as her mother fell for the oldest trick in the book, she was not ruthless enough, ruthless enough on herself and people surrounding her. This ruthlessness Anna saw in two people the traitor and Wyatt. She did not know how Wyatt hid it but Anna saw right through his disguise, the reason why Wyatt would not respond well to authoritarianism is that he is an authoritarian.

"You done? I will hang up the call now." Anna finally realised that she did not have to accommodate someone whom she hated down to her bones, she could hang up just like Wyatt did with her. Hanging up the call Anna felt like she gained a certain control and power over that man. Since the beginning of the call, she never felt in control of the conversation thanks to her messy emotions and that traitor made sure to make use of that to drive the conversation into achieving his motives. Hanging up the call gave Anna a sense of self-satisfaction.

Anna did not know what that traitor wanted from her but she was pretty sure that for that man to take initiative and call her for the first time since her birth at a time like this then his motives could not be more clearer, Silver milk powder. It has only been a day since the silver milk powder was granted patent but it already shook the entire world powers. It seems her family will also have to hasten their plans.

Location- Sky Blossom City, The Sky Blossom Card Stadium, Arena 17

Nearing the final three minutes of the duel both Jaya and Ned were running out of patients. Jaya no longer tried to destroy the arena floor seeing it remain unscathed even after taking her strongest punch, coming to the conclusion that the arena is made of high-grade alloy.

As for Ned, he was scared. It was funny to see Jaya try to break the floor but soon witnessing the force behind each punch of Jaya, Ned realised that he was not a match for Jaya in close combat. One punch of her\'s could fatally wound him if aimed at his vitals, the punches may even send him to his death bed.

Being in Were-Form Ned still did not have the confidence to go head to head with Jaya and her monstrous strength. Therefore unlike Jaya who was wrecking her nerves to end the duel before the time limit, Ned was praying for the time to run faster so that the duel would end in a draw and he would not end up lose to a girl.

Unable to come up with a solution to get rid of the black water surrounding her or finding Ned, every passing second was like a ticking time bomb to Jaya who frustratedly let out a shout like an angry beast. Feeling stuck Jaya finally decided to use the other cards in her grimoire.

Balling her fists and gathering all of her soul energy and strength onto them Jaya punched out fists-shaped ball of wind vigorously at the eyewall of the black water hurricane\'s eye. The downpour of the wind and water at the eyewall is very robust and extremely lethal but soon the effects of Jaya\'s Jabs began to show, the rotational speed of the hurricane started to decrease with every punch of hers.
