"Ms. Park, this is business. If you are not comfortable selling them, then don't mention it. Seeing how you mentioned it despite your concerns means it has a price tag. So please don't beat around the bush and name your price." From what I know about Corey Park, I know she was some bigshot in her past life and a powerful one. Even if she is just a remnant of her past self, she should be confident enough to face a talented high schooler. 

Her concerns about me using the martial arts that she sold to me against Corey in the future were bullshit. She was playing hard to get to make her sales pitch about whatever she was after more convincing. 

"Master Wyatt, you are a rational man. Doing business with you is going to be easy. And you are right. The martial arts I spoke of do come with a price tag. I don't know if you are willing to part with it." Said Corey Park as she laid back on the couch to her comfort.

"Part with? I don't understand." Based on Corey Park's words, it was clear that she didn't want soul jades. She wanted something else in return. 

"Asides from the appropriate cost of the martial arts cards, I want you to let me create big sis Susan's second origin card." Corey Park put forward her demands. 

"I can not help you with this matter. 

If you want to create Susan's second origin card, you have to ask her permission, not me." I thought Corey Park would ask something significant in return for the cards, but I was wrong. Corey Bright and Corey Park both have a soft spot for Susan and do not make rational decisions when she is involved. 

Heights of shamelessness, Corey Park calling Susan big sister, if that is not shameless, then what is? After all, who knows how old Corey Park is, yet she called Susan as big sis? Is it because she believes Susan to be her mother? 

"Park, I thought we were done discussing this? Didn't I already tell you that I wanted Wyatt to create my second origin card?" Susan immediately reprimanded Corey Park for bringing up something she had already said no to. 

"Big Sis, listen to me this once. Origin cards are crucial for the growth of a card apprentice. A good origin card can come a long way. You need to consider this matter seriously. All he can do with your second origin card is create another junk armor. But if you allow me, I can use it to make something out of this world. You experienced the effect of the card Turtle's Dream, right? Big sis, please trust me on this one. I can create wonders with your origin card." Corey Park began to pester Susan to allow her to create her second origin card. 

"Wait! Susan, you know about Park. When did you two meet?" I asked, seeing that Susan could distinguish between Corey Bright and Corey Park.

"Corey is staying with me for a few days until her grandmother is in the city. And during our stay together, I met Park and knew why Corey was suddenly acting differently." Susan explained that Corey had bunked in her home to escape her grandparent's steamy sessions, and during that period, she met Park.

"So you guys confided in her about everything?" I asked Corey Park in astonishment. 

"Yes- yes. We told her everything." Yep, they didn't tell her everything. Park's awkward way of answering made it clear. 

"Ms. Park, now can we get back to talking about business." I stored the conversation back to the martial arts cards. 

"Yes, and my price remains the same. I need you to let me create big sis Susan's second origin card. This condition is non-negotiable." Corey Park once again asserted that she wanted to create Susan's second origin card.

"Ms. Park, let me clarify to you. Unless Susan, herself, asks me to let you create her second origin card, only then will I allow you to create Susan's second origin card. If not, you can forget about it." I had big plans for Susan's second origin card, a MegaMorpher made entirely of mimercornium ore. 

Ever since I learned that a card apprentice's origin card could affect a person's rule comprehension, I was dead set on making Susan's Second origin card so overpowered that it can make up for Susan's Ego Gem's synchronization rate when she forges one. This was crucial for Susan's growth. And I didn't plan to compromise on this. 

"Wyatt, don't be rash. I will talk to her about it." Susan spoke up, seeing that I gave up on acquiring a martial arts card from Corey Park because of her unreasonable demands. And then, turning to Corey Park, she said sternly, "Park, I thought you were brighter than Corey. Why are you, too, acting like her? Please don't be stubborn. We are all friends here. Let's talk and help each other out." 

"No, big sis, you don't understand the importance of your second origin card. It directly affects your future growth. I can not compromise on this. You have to let me create your origin card." Corey Park did not budge under Susan's pressure. Instead, her stance became firmer. 

"Corey, I know you are looking out for me and that you have my best interest in your mind. You, too, should know that I trust you and appreciate you looking out for me. But please understand I want Wyatt to create my second Origin card. No matter what you say or do, my mind will not change. So please quit being unreasonable and create the martial arts cards for Wyatt." Susan patiently explained to Corey Park that she should stop being stubborn about demanding to create her second origin card cause she would not change her mind about it too. 

"Fine! But, if I cannot get the chance to create your second origin card, then I want a favor in exchange for the martial arts along with their fair price, of course."
