"Here's your 2 liter of liquid soul energy and 1 liter of S-rank diamond Ape wine," the referee handed a card and a wine gourd bottle to me. 

After concluding the demonstration, and collecting the VR-Cocoon cards from the two excited volunteers I directly flew back to the balcony of the Royal family's exclusive VIP box leaving the staff to deal with rest while Ann followed beside me. 

Seeing this, the audience that was singing my praise a second ago was now glaring daggers at me. I wondered if Ann was doing this on purpose. But considering her zero experience with relationships, I guess that was not the case. 

Yes, I had already seen that Ann was interested in me. However, I ignored them as she was Anna's twin sister and because I am almost driven crazy by Anna and Susan. 

Arriving in the VIP room I found the referee waiting for me. Collecting my winnings, I thanked him, "Thank you." 

"You guys order pizza great, do you mind if I take a slice," I was famished, so seeing Aba and Laura share large pizza, I ignored the referee and decided to have a slice. 

"Feel free to do so," Aba offered and Laura nodded in agreement. 

"Thank you," I said taking the slice of pizza with most topping. Before I could take a bit, Aba said, "Say, Wyatt. Was the VR-Cocoon card a minor version of the origin card you created for Grandma Asong?" 

Having experienced the life of a dog in Asongs origin card, Aba immediately connected the VR-Cocoon item card to Asong's origin card. Taking a bit of the pizza I nodded in response to Aba's question. Only to hear her ask, "Can you lend me the two VR-Cocoon cards? I want to go to the VR-City with Laura." 

Signaling her to wait, I summoned my grimoire, and taking out the two VR-Cocoon cards I hand them to Aba who exclaimed, "I will order another pizza for you before going to the VR-City." 

Giving her a thumbs up, I continued to enjoy the pizza. Only to hear Aba order Agatha, "Agatha, order another pizza for Wyatt, I am going to the VR-City with Laura." 

Soon, Ann approached me and said, "Wyatt, can you spare a moment? I need to introduce someone to you." 

"Yes," I agreed wiping the sauce on the corner of my mouth. 

Pointing at the referee, Ann introduced him to me, "Wyatt, this is Leo Lorn, minster Lorenzo Lorn's junior brother. He is one of the worlds leading array masters and Card creationists. He wants to talk to you about your VR City." 

Listening to Ann's introduction of him and his purpose Leo looked at Ann in dissatisfaction. As this was not what they talked about. Yes, he does want to discuss the VR-City with the boy but also wanted to talk about one another thing. However, Ann skipped it. Still, he did not let his dissatisfaction show on his face, and could only nod with a smile pasted on his face. 

"Yes, Master Leo. What about VR-City do you want to take about? If it is about its working principle then please forgive my rudeness," I said after gulping the nice chewed pizza and then took another bite. 

Seeing the boy continue to enjoy his pizza despite being in the middle of a discussion with him, Leo was very dissatisfied. Noticing that the boy dare to casual in front of him even after learning his identity he started to understand why Ann did not talk about the second part of the conversation he had with her. Considering how rude and arrogant this boy was, he would not agree to become his student. 

Leo had approached Ann with the idea of accepting the boy as his disciple but she did not take his words seriously. Leo was dissatisfied, since when was he, the greatest card creationist and Array master of the Southern region, lacking people wanting to be his disciples? Yet, here he was looked down on by a Card Soldier realm brat. 

Witnessing the boy's attitude, Leo did not know how to continue the conversation. Apart from expecting the boy as his disciple, he wanted to talk to him regarding the principle of inserting illusion in the grimoire network and the card apprentice's consciousness into the illusion in the grimoire network. However, the boy had already made it clear that he did not want to talk about the working principles behind the VR-City. 

"Kid, I will applaud your ingenuity for thinking of a way to insert illusion into the grimoire network and the card apprentice's consciousness into the illusion in the grimoire network. But if don't even think for a second that I cannot recreate similar results," Leo was confident that with one or two years he will be able to come up with a way to insert illusion into the grimoire network and card apprentice's consciousness into the illusion in the grimoire network. 

"Okay," I replied nonchalantly continuing to savor the pizza. 

" Two years— No, one year that is all it will take for me to find a way to produce similar results," Leo declared. 

"..." I nodded chewing my pizza. 

"One year, you hear me," Leo repeated himself not getting the reaction he desired from the boy. 

"Good for you," I reached for another slice of pizza. 

"In one year I can create a VR-City of my own," Leo repeated himself for the third time feeling that the boy did not understand what he was implying. 

"I don't doubt it," I think my hunger has increased the flavor of the pizza. 

"Boy, if I were you I would not invest too much time and money in your VR-City because it would not survive the competition," Leo finally spoke his mind. He was impressed by the boy's VR-City, but he knew it was not completely developed yet. It was barely big enough for two card lords. Let alone millions of card apprentices of different realms. 

By saying that he can replicate the VR-City in a year, Leo was trying to imply that by the time the boy completely develops his VR-City, he too will have created one. So instead of being competitors, they should join hands and become partners, this way, together they can conquer the market before other replicas of VR-City flood the market.
