''You insolent fool, listen to your elders for once,'' the Field Marshal Heatsend''s voice thundered in Wyatt''s mind and would have echoed in the depth of his soul if not for the world cmity tree''s shell protecting his soul.
''You majesty, control yourself. You''re above a third-tier city full of mortals, even a tiny whiff of your power can kill them,'' Wyatt reminded the Field Marshal, set on provoking her.
''Wyatt, believe it or not, I will spank you,'' the Field Marshal sitting on the clouds about the sky blossom city brimmed with rage. She wanted to guide the misguided junior but he was so full of himself that he ordered and dared to correct. If it were someone else they would be enjoying the fresh air 10,000 km above the city.
The Field Marshal both hated and liked Wyatt''s bold and decisive way of handling things. Despite repeatedly being manipted by Wyatt on several asions she considered him a straightforward guy. That was mostly because her powerful intent sense could never sense malice from him. Honestly, she could not sense his intentions at all.
This was also why while the kids were debating about improving the orphanage system she could not guess what Wyatt was thinking from the beginning. Meanwhile, the other kids, Cortney, Diana, and Cindy, were all like an open book to her. Which was why she was sure that they meant what they said and that they were genuinely concerned about improving the orphanage system. But when it came to Wyatt, she could only choose to believe that he meant what he said.
Therefore, when Wyatt said he was going to give heinous criminals a second chance at redeeming themselves by managing orphanages, right after he helped the other kids see the mistake in ways to improve the orphanage system, she could not help but wonder that he really meant what he said or he had another motive. But when he said he was not only willing to forgive Clown Mask for killing his parents but also help her reintegrate with society, all her doubts about Wyatt''s intention vanished and she believed he was the foolish person her father had warned her about.
''No, you will not. You adore me too much. Just make sure you convey my intention to Her Highness Southern Princess. I want Clown Mask released in my custody as soon as possible,'' Wyatt brushed off the Field Marshal''s warning as an empty threat and once again repeated his demand, continuing to provoke her to high heavens.
There was a reason he was so set on provoking the Field Marshal. Even though she was not a decision-maker in the Southern Region, she had a strong influence over every decision made as the aunt of the Southern Princess and her most trusted aid. By provoking the Field Marshal, Wyatt was trying to manipte the information that the Southern Princess would receive from the Field Marshal.
If the Field Marshal were to inform Anna''s mother that Wyatt was nning to start a criminal rehabilitation and reintegration program as she normally did, then Anna''s mother would not believe them as Wyatt''s true intention and directly began to wonder what he was up to.
However, if the Field Marshal were too sensitive about Wyatt being foolish with his stupid idea, then the information she would be giving Anna''s mother would be totally biased. Seeing the Field Marshal so riled up, Anna''s mother would think there was true to matter. Even though she would still doubt his actions she would also be doubting her judgment and wonder if she might be wrong about it. As a result, she would give Wyatt the benefit of the doubt.
Wyatt did not think he could fool Anna''s mother nor was he trying to, he just wanted to keep her guessing meanwhile he would achieve his agenda without much trouble. By the time she knows what happened, it will be toote for her to do anything about it.
Wyatt had long understood that the Field Marshal wasn''t just his bodyguard but the best and most trusted means of Anna''s mother to keep an eye on him and his activities. Just like how he nned to use the criminal rehabilitation and reintegration program to build his army, Anna''s mother was using his security as a reason to monitor him through her most trusted aid.
Knowing her, Anna''s mother must have long guessed that Wyatt was trying to diversify and decrease his dependence on the Southern Royal family. Wyatt also guessed their uing met would mostly be about her trying to increase Wyatt''s dependence on the Southern Royal family by any means possible.
''I will not do such a thing. Not only is your idea foolish, but who do you think you are to ask me to act as your messenger? Boy, I do adore you but you are asking for an ass-whooping now,'' the Field Marshal''s patience was waning. She could not believe the person they believed to be the future of the Southern Region would be capable of thinking something so foolish.
''Fine, I will get her out myself. Just don''t meter for not following the proper procedure,'' Wyatt responded, saying that he would free Clown Mask himself.
''You? I know you are strong but where Clown Mask is being held, power is of no use. Stop wasting time on foolish ideas and focus on increasing your active soul energy,'' the Field Marshalughed at Wyatt''s words and advised him to increase his realm first, instead of wasting time on foolish ideas like criminal rehabilitation programs.
''Your Highness, respectfully, you have no idea what I am capable of. If I wanted to I can free Clown Mask right now. I just do not be disrespectful toward the Southern royal family,'' Wyatt said feeling challenged.
''Really. Let me tell you what Wyatt, if you manage to free the Clown Mask in the next 8-hours I no longer persuade you to give up on your idea of starting criminal rehabilitation and reintegration programs. But if you fail to free Clown Mask, you have to give up on your foolish endeavor and follow my arrangement. Do we have a deal?''
