Listening to Wyatt, in frustration, teary-eyed Corey bit down hard on her lower lips causing it to bleed and said with a strong resolve, "I will think of something to repay you."
Seeing this, Susan, the Field Marshal, and Corey Park rushed to Corey's side to comfort her. Making it hard for Wyatt to be dismissive about the topic at hand. Seeing everyone take Corey's side Wyatt suddenly felt like the bad guy when actually for once he was not. If anything he has been very generous with his terms regarding this matter, however the Southern Royal family doesn't want to pay him a penny and have him do it for free in the name of patriotism.
Now that the whole world was seeing him gather a lot of wealth through VR-universe they expect things from. The Southern Royal family was no different. However, Wyatt felt he owed no one nothing.
"Corey, get ready, lets go to the Way Beyond and kidnap you parents. The Field Marshal will take us there and cover us," Wyatt suddenly declared, dumbfounding all those who heard him. Especially, the Field Marshal, she wasn't expect Wyatt to find such a solution of Corey's problem.
"Wyatt, are you out of your mind? You are talking about kidnaping two undercover agents of Southern Watch. If caught you can be charged with capital crime," the Field Marshal exclaimed getting over her shock. Even as she spoke she could not believe she was having this conversation with Wyatt.
Wyatt's eyes twitched seeing Corey be suspicious of his words but he did not lashout knowing that Corey had her own things to worry about. His bond with Corey was unlike the bond he shared with others. As a transmigrator, he believed if someone were to understand him, it would be a reincarnator like Corey. This combined with his first memory of Corey, the brave little girl who came to him in search of a job. When he sees Corey he doesn't see the fuck up she was right now but the determined little girl that desperately wanted to change. He could still see that little girl in Corey today therefore he tolerated her despite her quirks.
"Corey, you are so understanding for your age. I was worried that you would get on board with his crazy ideas," the Field Marshal praised Corey for not going along with Wyatt's crazy plan to kidnap her parents.
She knew that Corey desprately missed her parents so when Wyatt proposed his crazy ideas she did not have any doubt that Corey wouldn't agree with him. But Corey managed to surprise her once again.
"Could you give it a rest? I thought you guys were on guard about her being a demon worshipper. What changed? Why are you acting so shameless about taking her under your wing? I don't care what you do and how you do it, but since you involved me, I have to say it, just be straight foward, enough with the games.
Do you know that Marcy Davies has reached out to Fine Gold, TSR guild, and other orgainzations across the five regions for work? Thankfully, Daina got wind of this and recruited her before anyone else could while giving her a full scholarship to a university of her choosing in Southern Acadmic city.
If you want something just go for it, why the hell do you play these games? Are you that afraid of being rejected?" Wyatt did not understand these old people, the Field Marshal could have helped Marcy Davis long ago but she had her plans. Fortunatly for her Marcy meet Wyatt otherwise, Field Marshal would have to recurit Marcy's corpse as her disciple.
"Wait, didn't Marcy already join your organization last afternoon?" the Field Marshal asked in confusion. Last she recalled Marcy was set in sky blossom city.
As for her doubts about Corey being a demon worshiper, she had already confirmed with Corey that her titled demon core was a result of her origin card and not because she was a devil worshiper. The Field Marshal who was always looking for new ways to enhance her strength, saw a hope in Corey who was card apprentice and a demon at the same time with blessing of the Card World. After all, the Devils have always displayed stronger combat prowess than the Card Demigods. The Field Marshal had her reasons to choose Corey as one of her disciples along with Marcy.
"I had my people delay that, since I felt she would feel constrained by her contract with Fine Gold once she becomes your disciple. In the end it was all for nothing. However, seeing how she will be thrown out of the orphanage soon, Marcy did her best to secure a job before that happens. I can understand why she was so impatient but what about you what are you waiting for?" Wyatt tried to understand the Field Marshal's mindset for accepting disciples. She wanted both Corey and Marcy. However, they both received a different type of courting from her. Corey and Marcy were different, but Wyatt did not think this was reason enough for the great Field Marshal Heatsend to shamelessly court a extraordinary but troubled teenager from a third-rate city as her disciple.
