"Come on, Wyatt, I am your first employee. For us to maintain a healthy employee and employ relationship, there has to be no secret between us," Despite Wyatt's repeated reminders Corey continued to pester him to tell her about his new abilities. Corey didn't just ask about the ability he used to kill the demigod realm assassin but all of his bizarre abilities. For Wyatt, it was getting annoying but for Corey, it was important for her to gauge the difference between their power such that she could know how much catching up she had to do. She needed a target to gun for. Unfortunately, she chose the wrong target and would learn it the hard way. "You are lucky that I am still not confident about defeating little Baem," Wyatt said eyeing the scaly white bracelet on her wrist. He said this because he found that little Baem's spiritual channel was different from the one the ego gems and title demon core have. The spiritual channel of the ego gems and title demon core was like a water pipe, their ends looked like butt holes, opening & closing at the discretion of the card apprentice or demon. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, the little Baem's spiritual channel was like a huge water tunnel. Its ends looked like snakeheads. What's more bizarre about it was that these heads were more like big snake-whale hybrid heads than snakeheads. They swallowed soul energy and rule power from the spiritual plane like the whale swallowing water in the ocean. The amount of soul energy and rule power they could intake per second was just astounding. However, The amount of soul energy and rule power in the spiritual channel of the ego gem or a titled demon core depended on their synchronous rate i.e. the talent of the said card apprentice or demon. Even the most talented card apprentice or demon could not compete with little Baem in regards to this. Looking at the snake-whale hybrid head Wyatt did not dare to enter the spiritual channel of little Baem through the spiritual plane. He feared he might be devoured by them as it appeared these snake-whale hybrid heads not only swallowed an enormous amount of soul energy and rule power from the spiritual plane but were able to refine it midway before storing them in little Baem's core which was unlike any title demon core Wyatt had seen. Therefore, he believed it might not be a title demon core. He would love to examine it but little Baem did not allow him. Like Field Marshal, she too can feel his soul pupils, and every time she felt his soul pupils on her she would warn him by turning her peaceful soul energy signature into intimidating only to be scolded by Corey who had no idea why little Baem was acting up. Feeling wronged, little Baem would moop in silence to be cuddled by Corey once again. Corey could never be mad at little Baem. What surprised Wyatt most was that little Baem did not sell him out to Corey after being scolded by her. He was astonished to find that the sinister snake had a sense of loyalty toward him. Though its sense of loyalty toward him was not equal or even one-tenth of what it displayed toward Corey, they could be considered friends. This helped Wyatt conclude that with a little bribing, he should be able to convince little Baem to examine her core. Considering that little Baem likes to snack on Pixies, Wyatt wasn't that confident about being able to successfully bribe her. "Ahah, you are strong but little Baem is stronger. That's a relief," Corey exclaimed finally getting the answer she was searching for. Since little Baem was her familiar, it meant she was stronger than Wyatt too. That was to say, it was not her who had to catch up but Wyatt who had to catch up to her in terms of strength. Coming to this conclusion Corey finally felt a sense of relief and was in a good mood, she did not hesitate to show it. Seeing her like this combined with her words, it wasn't hard for Wyatt to guess what was going on in her mind. Therefore, he reminded her, "Regardless of how strong little Baem is, she will be helpless if I teleport into your spiritual channel. After all, there is a limit to how much a hired help can do. So, you have nothing to be smug about." Listening to Wyatt's reminder, Corey stared at him in shock, then she hurriedly enquired little Baem if what Wyatt said was true. Little Baem answered her that if Wyatt could teleport into her spiritual channel, it was indeed game over for her. Learning the answer Corey dumbfoundedly stared at Wyatt before clenching her teeth in embarrassment and shame. Reaching the Blood Rock Cave gate dungeons Wyatt had his clone inside the seed world ask Bloodette to open the dungeon gate while he reminded Corey that she could not bring little Baem with her. "Little Baem, go petrol the city, I will check up on you later," Corey hated to part with little Baem but she loved Dredre equally so she could only steel her heart and keep little Baem busy outside as she visited the seed world.

Walking into the dungeon gate, seeing Wyatt not follow her inside Corey peeked her head outside of the gate and asked, "What's the holdup?" "I am inviting Field Marshal Heatsend," Wyatt said while mentally ordering the Field Marshal to follow him inside, 'Get one of your clones or incarnations to watch the city.' 'Can't we just talk here? If it is privacy you are concerned about don't worry nobody can eavesdrop on our conversation,' The Field Marshal was reluctant to leave her post as the recent enemies coming to the city were getting stronger so she did not dare to slack off. 'No, it's not about the privacy of our conversation. It regarding my promise to you,' Wyatt corrected. 'Which one?' the Field Marshal asked. 'The one to make you the strongest in the card world,' Wyatt said trying to recall the promises he made to the Field Marshal. To find that he did promise her a lot of things. Well, in his defense, recruiting her and changing her heart wasn't an easy task. Soon a figure appeared next to Wyatt scaring Corey whose head was peeking outside of the dungeon gate, "Holy shit!" "Language, Corey," the Field Marshal warned Corey who rolled her eyes at her and commented, "Wyatt, why are you inviting this party pooper?" Wyatt and Field Marshal both chose to ignore Corey while Field Marshal asked him, "Can I take your words seriously?" "Too late to ask that now don't you think?" Wyatt joked but feeling Field Marshal's intense gaze on him, he continued, "Why don't you follow me inside and see for yourself." Field Marshal nodded and followed Wyatt into the dungeon. Wyatt promised her many things while trying to get her on his side, his promise to give her power wasn't one of the reasons why she truly chose to follow Wyatt. Which was why she was surprised when Wyatt claimed to make good on it. "This is indeed the holy place for blood rule," the Field Marshal could not help but mutter as she followed Wyatt deeper into the blood rock cave gate dungeon. Then, she suddenly asked Wyatt, "This isn't it, right." "Field Marshal, have a little faith in me, of course, this isn't it," Wyatt replied, finding Field Marshal's little faith in him a little insulting. "Can you blame her?" Corey suddenly chimed in. "I know you love to brag, but to brag you will make her the strongest in the card world, don't you feel even a bit of shame?" "Shut up, I liked you better when you talked little," Wyatt remarked, missing the Corey who silently stood behind him while he interrogated and negotiated with Henricks. "Blame her, she keeps telling me to be like my parents and then that I don't have to be completely like my parents. Well, which is it?" Corey sharply turned and asked the Field Marshal staring into her eyes. She truly sought advice from the latter. Though she was rude to the Field Marshal in her speech, in her heart she respected the Field Marshal. After all, the latter was hailed as the Southern Hero. It would be surprising if she did not idolize the Field Marshal. Every little girl in the Southern Region grew up hearing the stories of the Southern Hero and wanting to be her. Corey was no different. If not for her differences with the Southern Royal family, Corey would be drooling all over the Field Marshal. "Corey, honey, calm down. The crazy in you is coming out again," Wyatt whispered, prepared to knock out Corey if there need be. "Wait, so, all this time when you pretended to not give a damn you were actually listening to me?" the Field Marshal focused on the wrong thing. "No, I was not!" Corey yelled and rushed into the seed world. Leaving behind alert Wyatt and the self-impressed Field Marshal.
