Everyone's thoughts and future plans, but my cute sister is growing cuter

After those words were said Kaiba took off, he had better things to do than watching Grandmaster embarrass himself further. Maybe if he had popcorn he would but there wasn't any as of yet since the project is still underway.

Damn slow workers. He would put some pressure on them when he gets back or he might never get the damn popcorn that he so deserves. Also, it was about the time of the week when his sister has some degree of free time so he would call her later to check up using his latest invention, a holographic call that would be considered SciFi even in his previous world. Thankfully Essence Tools can make them relatively easily, but the cost was too high so he only created a few, one of which is on his sister's bedroom. A birthday gift he spent almost a full month to create.

Needless to say, Renxue was extremely happy when she got it as with this she could talk with him and feel him closer. Her granddad was pressuring her way too much and if not for her contact with her brother she might have become an indoctrinated idiot who actually believed in any of what that old fart says.

On Kaiba's back, Lingling was speaking on the phone with Rongrong. The two became friends after competing for Kaiba's attention for almost two years, Rongrong because he was her own version of the Knight in a White horse (dragon) she read so much about while listening to her mother, and to Lingling it was because he was the closest thing she had to a family or place of support that would never crumble or fail, his confidence and skills at least gave her that impression.

Jackelyn and Xia Wu were talking about their latest fight, trying to understand how to do better next time, Xiao Wu likes bullying people just as Jackelyn does so the two get along quite well. They also enjoyed practicing martial arts with one another, on their little group the two were the best close combat fighters with Jackelyn being focused in extreme power (she is someone that was quite tomboyish) while Xia Wu was focused more on technique.

Meanwhile Akiza was making a troubled face as she turned to her boss.

"Boss, if we do enter in conflict with them later could you try and not crush the boy too badly?"

"Hoh, to think that the witch of thorns would ask me to do something. Are you asking me to reconsider?" Kaiba asked with a smirk, Akiza instantly felt a shiver run down her back as she remembered the last time he reconsidered something.

Originally he wanted to reform a lab, but when the scientist asked him to reconsider since the things were good the way they are he reconsidered by blowing up the entire facility and firing the scientist as well as his wife that worked in the company even as he knew they were working to sustain their sick kid. He would not care, anyone that second guessed him was as good as gone for him.

When asked why he went so far his words were 'I reconsidered' and since then no one dared to ask him to reconsider any thoughts he might have.

"N-No, I am not asking for you to reconsider. It is just, hum, how to say this? When I was coming back from you ditching me in the middle of nowhere" "I regret nothing." "I happened to meet him. He and his grandpa helped me come back to town and I feel like he is a nice boy, a bit too careful and I don't know where he got so much information about plants but I feel that he is not a bad kid."

As she finished Kaiba was already looking away and writing something in his mysticphone. He was completely uninterested towards what Akiza wanted to say, if she thinks he is a threat he would be eliminated and if not he would be left alone. For Kaiba, this is how much he cared for Tand San and everyone else that wasn't one of his employees.

But if Kaiba was uninterested it did not mean that the others would also be. More specifically a happy Xia Wu that jumped from where she was sitting to Akiza's side, poking Akiza's face with a weird smile on her face as she teasingly said.

"What is this? Is little miss 'I hate all males' finally falling in love? No! I don't want to miss my hug pillow, I will not let you go. We don't even know anything about him, you two can't be together until he has my blessings." Xiao Wu said exaggeratedly, making Akiza blush like mad. It was not like Akiza had developed any such feelings, but she really didn't want to see Tang San be enemies with her master as she knows first hand how that would turn out, a corpse on the floor as Kaiba ordered someone to clean up the floor was dirty.

Again, she knows it would be like so. She had seen many would be killers from Spirit Hall itself and the empire trying to kill him in secret, it was a pipe's dream really. Especially since he managed to get closer to Dugu Bo and the Break Clan, these experts in poison ensured that it was more likely for him to die from meteor strike than by poison.

As Xiao Wu was saying these words it was not Akiza who answered but instead it was Jackelyn.

"Oh, so old hags can grant blessings for marriage. Does it also work for battle? Not like I want it since I want to stand proudly by myself but it still is an interesting thought." Jackelyn said and not even a second later Xiao Wu has jumped at her with a furious face as she kicked Jackelyn on the side and almost throwing her down.

"I am NOT an old hag, I am a cute pretty girl that is super adorable. Now shut it before I kick you even more." Xiao Wu said imperiously while looking down at Jackelyn.

Needless to say, the two began fighting on top of Blue Eyes and Kaiba solved this fight by spinning his Blue Eyes and letting everyone fall. Well, he did rescue Xiao Wu and the other three girls had dragon spirits with wings so they could still fly, but the emotion still counts.

Everyone came back to sit on the dragon's back. They were returning to Kaiba Corp's center in Suotuo town, it is their base of operations in all matters regarding the Balak Kingdom and the surrounding kingdoms. Kaiba chose it because of its large number of greeneries that he bought for the development of food products including canned ones and due to how it didn't have any great power that could threaten Kaiba Corp making it ideal for a place where he could influence almost to the limit.

Kaiba also went here due to its proximity to many primary spirit masters academies, a place where Kaiba could use the students to analyze more spirit rings from the lower levels and try to copy them into his latest invention, the spirit pagoda. He could only copy those he has seen so there wasn't much in the way of variety and the fact that only those below 200 years old could be analyzed by him for now limited him further, but with this session of analysis he would get rid of all these problems and have a few hundreds of artificial spirit rings. He would possibly even learn more about the composition of spirit rings to create those more ideal for his grand plan of bringing monster cards in their true glory to this world.

He already started selling them, they were getting almost as popular in big cities as they were back in his world before the development of duel disks, but if his plan succeeded he would bring duel monsters to their rightful place.

--------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Tang San did not know what to do. He had heard what this 'Kaiba' person said but he didn't know exactly what was true and what wasn't.

As he turned to Grandmaster he could see that he had a blank face as if he could not understand left and right, as if his brain had shut down from an excess of information and he could not process anything else that moment.

Tang San then waited for a few more seconds before seeing two streams of tears falling down Grandmaster's eyes even as his expression did not change.

"Young San, I am sorry but I don't have the qualifications to be your teacher. I do not deserve to teach anyone else, sorry." Grandmaster said before turning around and leaving without even turning once to talk directly to Tang San or look him in the eye. His voice was still the same but San could see how as Grandmaster moved he seemed to age with every step. His body releasing waves after waves of desolation and depression, a sense of loneliness that could make even the stupider being want to not get around him.

But was Tang San someone who would stop because of this? He had already kowtowed and declared that a teacher for a day is a father for life so how could he simply let this situation go?

Even if Grandmaster wanted to cut ties and leave he would not be so lucky. If he is leaving Tang San would just as well, he would be right there by his side and learn everything that this wise sage had to teach, he would prove the world and that Kaiba fellow that Grandmaster was the best teacher there is and that he was not a failure.

Making a determined face Tang San caught all his things and went running after Grandmaster, he would not even bother entering his dumb school. He would be with the one who could take him to the highest peak under the heavens!

Meanwhile, in a treetop not too far away, a man was making a troubled face. He knows this son of his just way too well, how could he not when he could see his own stubbornness on little San's face while he went to 'secretly' train and when he took care of him? He knows that this child of only six years would stick to his own words like they are gold and would never back down, if he had declared that Grandmaster as his teacher and pseudo-father how could he possibly leave him alone in this situation?

Tang Hao wouldn't even be surprised if this child of his decision to try something against the brat of Spirit Hall, but it was far too dangerous o try anything against him. Not only he always had one or two tittle douluos close by to protect him he also had the full and unrestrained support of Spirit Hall, Seven Treasures Glazed Tile clan (due to financial connections and how he was pretty much the fiancee of their little princess), the four former subordinate clans of Clear Sky (they had swelled in power and influence these last few years, much to the displeasure of this Clear Sky Douluo), and the Kaiba Corporation, the most powerful economic behemoth in the rise nowadays.

Facing against that Kaiba kid would need to be someone with at least a tittle Douluo level of power as otherwise, it would definetly mean death. He could only hope that his son would not be stupid enough to try something like that, Tang Hao was far from ready to face Spirit Hall's full fledge wrath but he would if it meant he could protect his son.

--------------------------------------------------

Getting back into the Kaiba Corp's headquarters in this town Kaiba went straight to his room/floor (yes, he build a floor to just himself). There was a big machine there and he instantly activated it since the time was about right, as he did that light shined and he waited for a few more seconds before he could see the figure of his cutest than cute little sister.

Renxue was growing up nicely, she still was a little kid but her skin was without any blemish and her cute round face was something that probably only the greatest out of all painters could put in a work (in Kaiba's eyes). Her eyes were expressive and full of love and happiness as she looked at this perfect big brother in front of her, she sometimes imagined a world without him and she thought how lonely she would be and how dumb as she would have only that old grandpa to listen to.

"Big brother, when are you coming back? I really want to see you again." Renxue said with a pout.

"Hehe, to think my little sister who is regarded as the supreme genius of Spirit Hall would pout like that. I guess she is growing up too fast, what should I do if suitors start trying to line up to her?" Kaiba said teasingly. It was amazing really, even with Mokuba he was never nearly as gentle as he was with Renxue, maybe the fact that she was a girl and all that may have made him extra soft with her and her only.

"Mou, big brother knows this is all a lie! Besides big brother, all males are dumb, stinky, and weak. Why would I like any of them? Even if it was the son of the Jade Emperor himself he would still pale in comparison to big brother! Also, you still haven't answered my question!" She said pointing her tiny finger right at Kaiba. Anyone other than her would have the finger cut off and shoved up the ass but she was allowed to do as she pleased.

"Okay, okay, I get it. I was just kidding you, but I don't know when I will be able to go back to see you as I am quite busy with my company as it is. The developers are way too slow to implement the technologies I want and my research on the artificial spirit rings is still in development. With luck, I will have functional Artificial Spirit Rings for sale within one year or two but until then I must focus on that." Kaiba explained to Renxue who was still pouting since she wanted to be spoiled.

For years now Kaiba was the only one who spoiled her, Daoliu only cared about making her the best to become the next Angelic God and her mother couldn't show much affection to Renxue as Daoliu would always intervene midway and ruin any chance of the two properly bond with each other. Only her brother would spoil her like a little kid, he would play card games with her, teach her about the world without trying to brainwash her, compliment her properly when she did anything right and reprimand her when she did anything wrong. He even went so far as to tell off her grandpa for putting too much pressure on her before when he was making her work with barely any time to sleep.

In her eyes, her big brother was the best person in the world and also the only one who was even nearly as talented as herself. No, he was even more so to her since he barely even spent time properly training as he spends so much in building this company and he still is way stronger than any other kid their age with the only exception being Renxue that was already rank 31 at only eight years old. The two were freaks amongst freaks alright.

"Big brother, will you at least come back to my birthday?" She asked hopefully. She really missed her brother and wanted to make sure that no harpies were surrounding him and trying to steal him away. What can be said except that she was a very possessive little sister?

"Sure Renxue, I will be going for a quick visit by then. I promise." He said, his face showing a beyond rare smile, even if tiny.

After that, the two kept talking and lost the notion of time by speaking whatever was on their minds, the two laughed evilly about how Kaiba almost threw the four girls (Xiao Wu, Xue Lingling, Yu Akiza, and Yu Jackelyn) flying when they annoyed him. He also told her of how he met his sperm donor and fired him, his sister giving him the thumbs up for that one, while she told him about meeting with the newest disciples of their mother.

It was a few people that were making up the 'dream team' according to some since they all had innate full spirit power and three of them could even use Spirit Fusion! They would definetly become a great power for the upcoming battle against the Evil Gods so Bibi Dong was spending a really long time with them, almost as much as she spends with Crow Holgam. Crow was now three turning four years old but it was clear that he was very talented. His body was unnaturally strong and he was learning well what his master had to teach, maybe it was due to how his mother was a 100.000 years spirit beast but there was none that doubted he would become a powerhouse in the future.

Kaiba agreed to go and meet his sister and see these new 'talents' to see if they are any good, he also needed to go check up on the Blacksmith organization which he was the owner of over 70% already and also go to Star Luo Empire to see the royalty there as they requested a meeting three months ago and he was interested in knowing what they wanted to talk about. Perhaps they would try and hop him in with some empty promises or propose a marriage since they were not stupid enough to not see that the power of Spirit Hall had was already too big and their influence was already too strong for it to be shaken easily by any of the two empires.

It would not surprise Kaiba in the slightest if they tried selling one of their princesses to him directly since they know that talking to his mother was less than useless, after all, they didn't want to be like Heaven Dou imperial family who was thrown out of Spirit City as a whole for trying the same before.

Well, in the end, Kaiba was only truly interested in finishing his Spirit Pagoda and Spirit Duel Disks, the rest was of little to no importance in comparison. Finishing the call Kaiba stood up and left the room, he had things to do, things to create, and people to fire for not doing as well as they should, maybe even train a bit if times allow it.

He was a very busy and down to earth men with very serious things to worry about.

It was at this moment that Lingling showed up in the corridor and asked.

"Boss, the interior decorator is on the line and wants to know what color you want in your new office in this base."

"Tell him to make it whitish blue and covered in Blue Eyes White Dragons with the words 'like a boss' on the ceiling." He said instantly and no one even found it strange in the slightest as he and everyone else continued working on this building that had 35 floors and with a Blue Eyes White Dragon head on the top, he himself designed.

He even included a flame thrown in the mouth and blue neon lights in the eyes, just because he felt like it.

Again, he is a very busy and down to earth men.
