The Field Marshal had long harboured doubts about Park's origin as Corey's ego fla spirit. Park was simply too intelligent to be a re ego spirit. Today, since the party had brought them close enough for her to reveal her true form, she spoke her mind openly.
"About that, it's complicated. You wouldn't believe us even if we told you. Wyatt and I couldn't believe it ourselves when she shared it with us. And we're not in a position to reveal it unless Corey herself is willing to. Considering she hasn't shared it with her own family or parents, the odds of that happening are low. But please know this: Park is one of us and would never harm us," Susan spoke up, eager to be honest with the Field Marshal, but it was not her secret to reveal.
The Field Marshal frowned but understood there was nothing inherently wrong with her question. It was just that she was asking the wrong people. She had to confront Corey directly about the matter for the answers she sought.
"I don't know what Corey told you, but I rember you ntioning that she claid to have a mysterious master-that is none other than Park here. She's Corey's mysterious master, the Demon Emperor Park. Once a proud Demon Emperor, she's now a remnant of her forr self. She's the one responsible for Corey forging a titled demon core. You can ask how and why to Corey when she wakes up," Wyatt interjected, crafting a story for Corey and Park as they weren't doing a good job of hiding their secret, which was beginning to cause trouble within the group.
The Field Marshal, having shared her own secrets with the group, would be devastated if she found out they weren't being honest with her. This didn't an everyone had to share their secrets with her, they could if they wished, if not, they should not rub it on other's face. Ultimately, this was an issue between Corey, Park, and the Field Marshal. Fortunately, the Field Marshal seed to grasp that, as misunderstandings like these could be detrintal to the group.
"I understand. I apologize for making everyone uncomfortable. Let's focus on the matter at hand," the Field Marshal said, assuring everyone that they didn't need to worry about this further.
"There's nothing we can do here. Either we suffer the initial losses to learn from them, or we figure out a way to find rare, trustworthy demon/devil rchants among the crooked ones," Wyatt said. Just as he was about to continue, Park interrupted him, adding, "What about the connection I ntioned earlier? Should I reach out to him?" Wyatt shook his head. "Let's not try to partner with soone above our weight class. There's no telling how things will play out. We already have our hands full with the 'Seven Princes of Hell' targeting the Card World."
"Then what do we do now?" Dredre asked, feeling like they were going in circles. "Now, we find a cheat to win this rigged ga," Wyatt said, pointing at the empty space where the Clown Mask suddenly appeared out of thin air. He proceeded to introduce her, "She is our cheat."
Clown Mask, who had suddenly appeared, startled those present in the warehouse. Everyone looked at Wyatt in confusion, unable to understand what he ant. Seeing their puzzled expressions, Wyatt grinned and declared, "From now on, Clown Mask will be the Egg Guild's Business Developnt Manager, She'll be responsible for qualifying leads and conducting due diligence on potential clients, buyers, and sellers. Any deal, big or small, will only proceed after it passes her screening and verification." "Thank you, Boss. I will prove I am worthy of your trust," Clown Mask hurriedly bowed, accepting the new responsibility Wyatt had given her. She then pointed out, concerned, "Boss, this ans I'll have to stay behind at Card World-
"Don't worry. I'll make Cortney and Bloodette your young and perky assistants. Enjoy!" Wyatt interrupted, a mischievous glint in his eyes. Although Clown Mask didn't need any assistants due to her physique, Cortney and Bloodette would serve as extra motivation for her to go above and beyond as the Egg Guild's Business Developnt Manager.
"Thank you, Boss," Clown Mask enthusiastically thanked Wyatt, bowing once more. As a bloodkin daughter gem, she wouldn't cut corners and would perform the duties Wyatt assigned to her to the best of her abilities but with Cortney and Bloodette now as her motivation, she would happily exceed expectations.
"So, you're the 'DoubleAgent' who joined the guild during the celebrations," Susan guessed, mistaking Clown Mask for DoubleAgent.
"No, I'm not a Demon rchant yet," Clown Mask clarified. Thanks to the Hive Spirit, she was already up to speed on the Demon rchant, Egg Guild, and the rest.
"Then who is the "DoubleAgent"?" the Field Marshal asked Wyatt, feeling that a demon rchant with a userna like 'DoubleAgent' wasn't trustworthy.
"I'll introduce her to you when she is done breaking through to the Demigod realm. For now, Clown Mask, take this token, beco a demon rchant, and join the Egg Guild. If you have any questions, ask Dredre-she'll help you," Wyatt instructed, handing a devil rchant token to Clown Mask.
"I will comply," Clown Mask responded, accepting the token from Wyatt. Guided by the Hive Spirit, she prepared to beco a demon rchant.
"Wyatt, do you need to draft a contract for Clown Mask?" Dredre asked, having created contracts for Susan, Corey, and the Field Marshal.
"No need. I had her sign one long ago," Wyatt replied. At this point, it dawned on the Field Marshal that Wyatt had bigger plans when he freed Clown Mask from the Royal family's secure facility. Unable to resist, she asked, "Was it before Clown Mask surrendered herself to Colleen?"
"Ding! Ding! Ding!" Wyatt answered with a grin.
