While Lt. General Spencer doubted Waytt's intellect, Demigod Norley concluded his contemplation, and locking eyes with Wyatt he asked, "Dalton Wyatt, I don't think you are suicidal then why do you want to kill you?"

As a demigod with over a thousand years of accumulation, Norley's Divine perception had grown to the point it would no longer be appropriate to call it anything but Divine insight.

Divine Perception allowed a demigod to know whenever soone in a lower realm than them was thinking of them anywhere in the world. All it took was them thinking or saying their na, and the demigods would know. This was the reason why people would not dare to bad mouth a demigod regardless of whether the demigod was aware of their existence or not.

When in their imdiate vicinity, Demigods could use their Divine perception to vaguely see through the thoughts of those in the lower realm. Whereas, when upgraded to Divine insight it allowed the Demigod to see through the thoughts of anyone with lower Divine insight than them. It also allowed them to perceive the existence of anyone with lower Divine insight than them anywhere in the world as long as they knew their true na. When used along with the right combination of rule anings, there was no limit to the wondrous things the Divine insight allowed a demigod to achieve. For example, looking into the past, present, and future of lower realm beings.

With Demigod Norley's Divine insight and arsenal of runes, a card master like Dalton Wyatt should be an open book but to his astonishnt except for vaguely sensing his present his Divine insight and runes failed him. When he said sensing his present vaguely he was being generous when a part of him told him that he was perceiving what Wyatt wanted him to perceive and nothing else. If his hunch was true, then it ant that the Divine insight that he had nurtured for thousands of years was useless against a 17-or-sothing card master.

Demigod Norley's hunch was not baseless, as with his Divine insight he should have seen through Wyatt's disguise but he did not. The card master in his late twenties not only had a completely different soul energy signature and vibration but he also had an entire set of regular and boring thoughts. As such his Divine insight actually told him that morphed Wyatt was a regular card master with limited potential. Norley could not think of any A-rank card or Rune that could allow a card master to achieve sothing like this.

Before arriving here, Demigod Norley tried to use Wyatt's true na to perceive his location in the card world with the help of his divine insight but he failed. He did not think much of it believing that the Southern Royal family was covering for him. However, now he knew that Wyatt was more than what ets the eye.

Not to ntion he failed to recognize him when Wyatt revealed himself. During this incident, he had used his divine insight but it failed him again. All he could hear was Wyatt repeatedly chanting 'I am not fake.' Therefore, Demigod Norley believed that the Wyatt in front of him was a fake only the fake one would attempt sothing like this as it was the well-known thod to mislead the divine perception of a demigod.

It did not end there after Lt. General Spencer helped him conclude that the card master in front of him claiming to be Wyatt was indeed Dalton Wyatt. He saw the attitude of Wyatt take a sharp turn. He no longer addressed him respectfully rather he acted arrogant and rude despite the Lt. General revealing his identity to him and even going as far as to warn Wyatt not to be rude to him.

In this situation despite his divine insight having failed repeatedly against Wyatt, he decided to use it to hear what Wyatt wanted him to hear. To his astonishnt, he heard Wyatt repeatedly uttering arrogant words belittling him. Demigod Norley did not understand why Wyatt was doing this. It was clear that Wyatt was aware he could hear his projected thoughts. So shouldn't he at least try to be humble to deceive him instead he has pulled all stops to enrage him. Why do this?

This was when Demigod Norley used his divine insight on the demigods from the Southern Royal palace and was easily able to see through their thoughts without any problem. These so-called strongest of the world were more of an open book to him than the card master. So it was not surprising that these demigods had no idea that what their divine perception was perceiving were not Wyatt's real thoughts but altered thoughts that he was projecting and believed that Wyatt was seeking death.

This was when Demigod Norley realized, Wyatt wanted him to kill him. This confused him further. He could not fathom why Wyatt would willingly seek death. Demigod Norley could not believe that he was having to apply his brain against a card master since his divine insight failed. However, to his dismay, even he could not understand why Wyatt wanted him to kill him.

The thought that Wyatt had so high-level items or cards given to him by the Southern Royal family for his protection up his sleeves which could be the reason he was arrogant crossed Demigod Norley's mind but he knew that thinking like that would be him underestimating Wyatt since he was able to counter his divine insight with his will alone. He could not think of soone with such a strong will doing sothing so stupid. They would know that in front him, any protective asure that the Southern royal family might have left him was useless.

Unable to think of a valid reason why Wyatt would want him to kill him, Demigod Norley gave up and despite feeling sha, he directly asked Wyatt what he was trying to achieve here.

Wyatt did not answer Demigod Norley instead seeing that the hostile demigod did not kill him despite him provoking him, he deduced that he was not here to kill him which could only an that the demigod was here to kidnap him. With this, Wyatt's plan to get the Demigod to kill him out of rage and settle this matter was aningless. However, he did not stop projecting his arrogant thoughts belittling Demigod Norley.

"Rest your mind at peace and stop projecting doctored thoughts, I am not here to talk to you as one of the founding fathers of the current governnt but as a concerned father," Demigod Norley revealed letting out a helpless sigh. His stern and emotionless face had eased but it still did not show any emotions.

Lt. General Spencer who heard Demigod Norley say he was here as a concerned parent rembered him threatening to kill Susan so that Wyatt would seek his daughter. Then rembering that Demigod Norley's daughter had also participated in the Southern Captial incident she put two and two together.

Understanding why Demigod Norley was here, Lt. General Spencer could not believe that the person dubbed as the mad scientist among the founding fathers of the current governnt was actually a decent father. She found it unbelievable. However, she strongly believed that people do not change but just get good at hiding their flaws she did not buy into Demigod Norley being a decent father. She thought this was his another one of cockamamie projects.

Wyatt skeptically looked at Demigod Norley but felt his words were genuine and sincere. Understanding that in front of experts, the trick of projecting doctored thoughts to deceive their divine perception did not work, he stopped projecting false thoughts. After all, was never under the impression that people would not be able to guess that he was immune to divine sense. Though it was a pity that it ca to light so soon.

As soon as Wyatt stopped projecting doctored thoughts, it did not take long for the 11 demigods from the Southern Royal family to realize what was actually going on unable to perceive any thoughts from Wyatt using their divine sense's divine perception. Finding that their entire outlook on life had changed they all looked at Wyatt as if looking at a monster. However, they all agreed that one had to at least be of this level to be dubbed with the title 'Hope of the Southern Region.'

"Well, follow . I heard that my new tower has an excellent coffee shop. We can chat over a coffee and see if it is worthy of the praises," Wyatt offered thinking that Demigod Norley genuinely wanted to speak with him.

From what Demigod Norely just said it was clear that he had already determined Wyatt to be the real Dalton Wyatt. The fact that demigod Norley had not attacked despite conforming to Wyatt's identity was evidence enough that he genuinely wanted to talk with Wyatt as he claid.
