Until now Sansa was under the impression that Karl had purposefully stunted the growth of his organization and did not make big moves despite being capable of it, mostly because he did not have the power required to stand his ground in the company of other world leaders. Yes, he had an army of incarnations occupying influential positions in big families, sects, and organizations who were supporting his organization and helping it to reach its current glory. But influence and manpower can only get a person so far, in front of absolute strength nothing mattered.

Because of this, somewhere deep in her heart Sansa looked down on Karl a little feeling that once his secret got out Karl would lose everything he built within months. This did not mean that she underestimated what Karl or his organization were capable of, this was just her way of feeling superior to Karl by comparing the pros and cons of the individual organizations they built. And she was not wrong to think so. Though both of the organizations had their ups and downs, Sansa's paw clan was more versatile compared to Karl's Circle.

But now learning that Karl's origin card was capable of more than just refining unborn babies into incarnations, refining his incarnations into origin cards, Sansa understood that Karl was more hidden than she gave him credit for. He was not only using his incarnations to build and run a big organization but also enhancing his individual strength.

Digging through the memories of Karl's incarnation, Sansa tried to figure out exactly how strong Karl was, meaning she wanted to figure out exactly how many origin cards did Karl own and what each of them was capable of but to her surprise, she could not find a lot of information on that because of the hierarchy system that Karl used to run his organizations core management, his incarnations. The hierarchy system used by Karl was both merit, strength, and background based. Yes, the incarnation's contribution to the organization, its strength, and what family it was born in were all the factors used to be placed in Karl's hierarchy system. Most of the incarnations never get to meet Karl unless they have something to offer.

Therefore within this hierarchy system, the incarnations did not know all the information, the information circulated based on a need-to-know basis. Meaning the incarnations got to know the information only when they needed to know at the time they needed to know it. Sansa finally understood why she did not get accurate information about Karl's origin card from the first incarnation of Karl, she used her origin card to manipulate him.

When Sansa first tried to infiltrate the circle using her origin card, she chose to target the branch leader of one of the Circle's branches in the central region. Upon going through his memories she made shocking discoveries about the Circle and the person running it, Karl. But the information she learned through that particular incarnation was not as detailed as the one she was going through right now. If that day she had the entire information of Karl's origin card and the way he ran his organization maybe things would have turned out differently.

"Sigh," Shaking her head Sansa sighed knowing that crying over spilled milk was a waste of time, and proceeded to watch the drama behind what forced this incarnation to take her offer when other incarnations of Karl's did not.

Going through the memories, Sansa learned that this Incarnation used to be card emperor when she planted her seal in him and over the years now he had reached the semi-demigod realm. Interestingly, he was one of the semi-demigods in charge of safely retrieving Mike, the branch leader of Circle's branch in sun blossom city. Going through this part of his memory Sansa could not help but frown learning that Karl thought Sansa was to blame for the loss he suffered in Sun blossom city.

Sansa disagreed with that, yes she tried to use the circle as a scapegoat to take the blame for killing the boy but she was not the one who was backing Ji Feng the despise of the Yin-yang Harmony sect, and feeding him information about his incarnation's origin card. And not to mention that She did not have Mike killed, his incompetence did. She was actually counting on Mike to kill the spawn of her husband's unrequited love instead he got outdone by a card soldier and a suicidal card lord.

After complaining a bit about Karl blaming her for his loss in sun blossom city Sansa moved on because there was nothing she could do about it. If Karl was willing to believe that she was conspiring against him then nothing she said or did would change his mind so it was not worth mulling over. But she too was puzzled by the questions that made Karl believe that she was the one conspiring against him, Ji Feng, why did he do what he did? With the death of Ji Feng, this question was going to be a mystery. So she moved on to the most important information from this memory, Karl's incarnation was one of the candidates to run for the heir to the sect leader in the Yin-yang harmony sect.

Now, this information surprised Sansa just when she thought that Karl's origin card could not surprise her anymore. Karl's incarnation becoming the heir to the sect leader in the yin-yang harmony sect meant that in a possible future, Karl could gain total control over the yin-yang harmony sect. A sect with ages of history and unimaginable influence in the five regions would become a pawn of Karl's, now if that wasn't scary then what was?

Think of this possibility, Sansa could not help but wonder how many influential organizations have Karl's incarnation taken over or were close to taking over. Yes, she could do the same with her minions but the effect was not the same, there was a huge difference between her minions and Karl's incarnations, Loyalty was a good place to start with.
