    The Field Marshal Heatsend imed to be Wyatt''s loyal subordinate but she went and did what she felt like. She never bothered to ask Wyatt what he wanted her to do, rather did what she felt needed. Now that was not what a loyal subordinate would do. Wyatt never asked Field Marshal''s advice on trying to ally with the Malvin Family through Aurelia. Wyatt never asked Field Marshal to let him eavesdrop on her conversation with Aurelia''s mother. Wyatt had asked Field Marshal to help him with the criminal rehabilitation and reintegration program. But the Field Marshal had yet to act on it. The Field Marshal did everything but what Wyatt asked her to. Not that she nned on a rebellion, it was just that even though she had given her loyalty to him the reluctance in her heart was making it difficult for her to fully ept her new role. Honestly, she was making things awkward between them with her half-assed loyalty.


    Now Wyatt could point that out to Field Marshal but that would open up another awkward conversation as he did earn her loyalty through unconventional means justifying the reluctance she showed. So, he tried to pamper her withvish promises but they did not manage to erase the Field Marshal''s hesitation. Since carrots did not work he could only turn to stick. Surprisingly, it yielded extraordinary results. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    However, it was a different story if say someone other than Wyatt pointed out the obvious to the Field Marshal. Like Aurelia did. When the rest of Wyatt''s subordinates thought Wyatt was lucky and capable of having someone of the Field Marshal''s status and abilities guarding and helping him, only Aurelia noticed what the others failed to notice. Not only did Aurelia take notice of Field Marshal''s faults but she did not hesitate to point them out to her. This was why Wyatt could not help but look at Aurelia differently. Underneath her honest personality along with her spineless and shameless act, she hid the knowledge and training she gained from her mother, the City Lord of Border City, the Iron Wall between the Empire and the Southern Region. "Field Marshal, that''s enough now," Wyatt said, and pushing Aurelia off him as the Field Marshal ceased her pull on her, he wanted to whisper to Aurelia, ''Nice Assist.'' Instead, he added, "Field Marshal, she is right. She does have seniority over you." Being pushed off by Wyatt, Aurelia fell on her butt. However, she did not take offense and immediately got on her feet. Dusting her behind, listening to Wyatt give her the green light, Aurelia yelled at Field Marshal, "Newbie, I will forgive you since this is your first offense. However, in the future, I will not tolerate such actions. Workce hostility is a serious offense, and appropriate actions will be taken against offenders."


    "Really," the Field Marshal menacingly stared at Aurelia and with a sneer, she sarcastically asked her as an invisible pressure emitted from her and covered Aurelia, "Senior, may I know what actions you are taking about." Under the insane pressure from Field Marshal''s strong intent sense, Aurelia was sweating through her tuxedo but she did not step back rather she stared back into the Field Mashal''s gaze and answered, "Newbie, appropriate punishment involves official reprimand and docking a month''s pay or more." "But senior, I don''t get paid," the Field Marshal replied increasing her pressure on Aurelia. The intent sense was unique to the demigods, it could not be considered an attack as its uses were projecting one''s emotions and thoughts onto others, hiding one''s emotions and thoughts from others, and sensing others'' emotions and thoughts. It was unlike any form of attack but loosely fell under spiritual attack. Which varied based on people''s interpretations. Listening to the Field Marshal, Aurelia was stumped and turned to look at Wyatt for confirmation, who indifferently nodded agreeing to the Field Marshal''s im. Beads of sweat started to ooze from Aurelia''s head but she did not give up and said, "Since you are an unpaid intern, we will issue you an official reprimand. If you get three of those then you are out. Good luck, finding another job with three official reprimands on your resume." Wyatt almostughed aloud listening to Aurelia, while Field Marshal stared at her wondering if she was for real. Shaking his head, Wyatt ordered Field Marshal, "Retrieve your intent sense." Aurelia''s heart was beating louder than a drum, if the Field Marshal''s pressure continued, Wyatt was afraid it might burst. The Field Marshal frowned but retrieved her intent sense covering Aurelia following Wyatt''s order. She wanted Wyatt to no longer neglect her however this was not it. Things should not have unfolded like this. "Aurelia, I will hand over the newbie to you. Help her adjust to our organization. From now on you are responsible for her," Wyatt instructed Aurelia, her knees were wobbling and she looked like she had juste out of a sauna. Turning to look at Wyatt, Aurelia forced a big smile, and extending her hand she gave him a thumbs up, epting her new responsibility with a heavy heart. Then, she demanded, "Boss, I need hazard pay and a rise. Since I don''t know when I can die in this job." Wyatt smiled, seeing he had not judged Aurelia wrong. She was starting to grow on him, patting her shoulder he said, "How about a physique and a trait you asked for? Will that do or do you prefer a pay rise instead?" Listening to Wyatt, both Aurelia and Field Marshal stared at him widening their eyes in astonishment. Recovering from her shock, Aurelia hurriedly agreed, "Boss, I will take the extra physique and trait," while chanting, "All hail the Southern Hope! Long live the Southern Hope." "I was right, you can give people physique and trait," the Field Marshal uttered hearing Wyatt openly agree to what she had been specting since the beginning, instantly forgetting about the shame Aurelia and Wyatt had put her through.
