"What’s going on?"
Leaving the fifteen demigods to reflect on their choices, the Field Marshal and I arrived beside the Cloud Turtle, only to find Corey and Anna arguing. More accurately, Anna had been on the verge of getting physical, but the endlessly stretching space kept widening the distance between them. Visibly, they had barely moved, yet the space separating them had already widened into sothing greater than a chasm.
"You finally dare to show yourself, huh?"
Anna wasn’t just enraged that I had personally gone to check on Susan while sending Corey to see her, but also that I had shared my plans to capture Seraphina to her through the Field Marshal instead of telling her directly.
"You’re my fiancée. If you wanted to see , you could co find anyti you wanted. Or is there so rule that says I’m the only one supposed to co looking for you?"
Anna’s brows furrowed, but she restrained herself upon noticing Corey and the devil nearby.
’He wants to go to him when he personally goes to Susan? Fine. I’ll go to him, alright,’ she thought bitterly before asking, "What is this Dark Realm plan I’m hearing about? Apparently, you deliberately chose not to involve in it."
"Hey, I never said he did it deliberately. I said he did it because of your narrow-mindedness," Corey imdiately shot back in his defense.
Inside the domain, she had grown noticeably bolder, knowing Anna could not be near her without my permission let alone beat the shit out of her like earlier.
I stared at Corey wide-eyed, wondering if she was doing this on purpose because I hadn’t co to her rescue earlier when Anna used her as a human football to vent her frustration and anger toward .
Whether it was out of ignorance or revenge, I needed her out of here. "Corey, did you et Jill? Why didn’t she co to the assembly?"
"I sent her a text, but she didn’t reply," Corey answered nonchalantly, even though she was perfectly aware that wasn’t what I had asked her to do.
After getting beaten by Anna, Corey finally understood why I had assigned this task to her instead of personally checking on them myself. Because of that, she hadn’t gone to check on Jill directly as I had instructed. Instead, she chose the safer option and contacted her through text, though she still hadn’t received a reply.
Even though Corey knew Jill was weak, she didn’t dare take chances with the only daughter of one of the founding fathers of the Five Regions. Who knew what kind of cards she might still be hiding up her sleeve? Besides, she had already been beaten enough because of her philandering best friend.
"You didn’t get a reply? Then go check on her—"
"I already did. She seed busy with the launch of the Sli Fairy cards across the Five Regions, so I didn’t bother disturbing her," Corey lied smoothly, silently resolving that while she would continue carrying out her duties as her best friend’s enforcer, she would never again run errands for him. She had learned her lesson.
I knew for a fact that Corey was lying. We had already launched the Sli Fairy cards throughout my new empire and the black markets across the Five Regions through Jill’s channels.
Before I could call her out on it, Anna lost her patience and snapped, "Wyatt, quit stalling and tell what you’re planning with the Dark Realm."
"Field Marshal, give her a devil rchant quota and help her settle in," I ordered, not really knowing where to begin explaining my plans for the Dark Realm to Anna.
Anna still wasn’t aware of many things beyond the Card World. She hadn’t even visited the Lil’ Red Storm Realm yet. There was simply too much I needed to tell her, so much that I had no idea where to start, which was why I left the task to the Field Marshal. Once Anna was brought up to speed, I would explain the plans she was so demanding to hear about.
Those TV shows were right about one thing: once you propose to a woman, things only go downhill from there. I missed the old Anna, the one who would shower with attention, try all sorts of things just to catch my eye, and make bold advances in places I would never have expected.
"My lord, please allow !"
Before the Field Marshal could respond, Peyote suddenly spoke up, volunteering for the task of helping Anna beco a Devil rchant and familiarize herself with the Devil rchant Code, surprising Corey, the Field Marshal, and alike.
I looked into Peyote’s enormous turtle eyes and, seeing he was serious, turned to the Field Marshal. She gave a small nod and added, "I don’t mind."
I then nodded at Peyote and said, "Alright, let give you a devil rc..."
"Don’t worry, Master. I have a few. I’ll give one to the mistress," Peyote said as he noticed reaching for a devil rchant quota. This ti, the three of us were even more surprised by his behavior.
"Alright, I’ll leave her in your care."
With that said, I grabbed Corey and headed toward the demigod squad, while the Field Marshal lingered for a mont, eyeing Anna and Peyote before following after .
"You do know he has three fiancées, right? If you flatter the other two, they might get sowhere. But with ? I can never forgive the dark races that invaded our land and killed so many of my ancestors and people."
Anna pointed this out to Peyote after seeing the lengths he was willing to go to curry her favor. Though she had no idea what a devil rchant quota was, let alone how incredibly important and valuable it might be, it had clearly provoked a visible reaction from her fiancé, who was rarely ever surprised.
