What was the use of having a loyal dog if it acted like it was the master? Such was the case between the Field Marshal and Wyatt. Though Wyatt had managed to gain the Field Marshalʼs loyalty, he had yet to win her over. Wyatt assured the Field Marshal that he would not use her loyalty against the Southern Region.

Wyatt assured the Field Marshal that he would help the Southern Region prosper. Wyatt even assured the Field Marshal that he would make her the worldʼs strongest and take her beyond that. However, nothing he said was enough to win her heart, it still belonged to the Southern Royal family. Wyatt felt pity for the Lorn Family. Despite their status, they were like the slaves grown and groomed to serve the Southern Royal family. After all, Both Field Marshal and Lorenzo, despite starting their own family always have been loyal to the Southern Royal family. With their combined strength and knowledge they could gain more status, wealth, and authority for themselves and their family than what the Southern Royal family had ever given them yet they chose to serve the Southern Royal family. Just looking back at her history, Wyatt understood that winning the Field Marshalʼs heart was not easy as she had dedicated her entire life to the Southern royal family. For him to reprogram her would not be easy, especially since he used trickery to win her loyalty. Therefore, he had decided to leave her alone until the time was right. Believing that to be the best course of action to deal with the Field Marshal.

And soon enough Wyattʼs choice proved to be correct. He did not think that his action would get a reaction from the Field Marshal so fast but the result were in front of him. However, this did not mean he would respond to her. He planned to continue his course of action until the Field Marshal accepts her new reality and breaks free of the Southern royal familyʼs brainwashing. Once Wyatt had the Field Marshalʼs heart then he not only planned to start his plan to make her the strongest in the Card World but truly involve her in his grand plans just like he did with Susan and Corey Park. As for Corey, she was Parkʼs baggage he could only tolerate her. ”Suit yourself, I just gave my suggestion as your loyal subordinate,” the Field Marshal replied accepting her new status, to which Wyatt nodded, and controlling his growing grin he said, ”Noted.” The Field Marshal was taken aback by Wyattʼs cold reply. Wyatt wasnʼt cold but the Field Marshal felt he was being cold. It was all in her mind as she thought that Wyatt would be excited to hear her call herself his loyal subordinate but he was not rather he acted as if he did not care if she was his subordinate or not. Normally at times like this Field Marshalʼs keen eyes and intent sense would help her discern the emotions and thoughts of the person in front of her but Wyatt was different, despite being in a lower realm than her his thoughts and emotions were an enigma to her. It was like she was trying to see the water level in the darkest well that ever existed. So in front of him, she could not help but feel like she was not the top ten strongest demigod but a mortal. This feeling made her more vulnerable to Wyattʼs mind games. Adding to the fact that losing the wager to Wyatt had already left a huge shadow in her mind. All of this combined, Wyattʼs image in the Field Marshalʼs mind was bigger than that of her strongest adversary. ”Aurelia, I have sent you a party invite since the one you sent has expired, accept it so we can begin,” Wyatt instructed Aurelia who had let go of him but still continued to kneel. She did not appear to mind the kneeling position. It was as if she was more used to kneeling and groveling than standing. It seems she was a born troublemaker. ”I have accepted your invite boss,” Aurelia said giving Wyatt a thumbs up. She did not appear to be ashamed or embarrassed in the slightest by the events earlier. Instead, she seems to have grown more comfortable around Wyatt and the other employees. ”Good, now hand over your grimoire,” Wyatt demanded planning to start repairing Aureliaʼs physical. Listening to Wyatt, Aurelia passed her grimoire to her boss without hesitation. Seeing Aureliaʼs grimoire was a silver-grade grimoire Wyatt was not surprised considering she had a low talent for active soul control. If not for the resources and training of her family she might have not awakened or reached the card master realm. Just as Wyatt was about to start he turned to the crowd and said, ”As much as I would like all of you to witness me fix her physique, this one is going to take a while. So it would be best if you guys did not wait for me.” He then signaled at Cindy and Diana. They nodded and Diana promptly spoke up saying, ”Okay, boss. You take your time. We will take our leave.” ”Might as well, the crowd outside is growing uncontrollable,” Cindy said, and then turning to the Fine Gold and Bright Lions employees she added, ”Let us go help the others disperse the crowd. So that boss can leave peacefully once he is done here.” Listening to Cindy and Diana assign them work the crowd said their goodbye to Wyatt before leaving to fulfill their task. As the crowd left, Aurelia asked Wyatt, ”Boss, will it take too much time? I hate waiting.” ”Aurelia, I like that you are honest but you should learn about time and place. If you manage to do that then you are golden,” Wyatt advised Aurelia. Only to hear her say, ”Boss, my mom said the same thing. I would do that but I hate to wait for the right time and place.” ”Just like the river.”
