*Cough-Kawf-Cough*

It took Cortney all of her strength to stand up on her feet. Then listening to Wyatt\'s words, she responded, "I get it, I cannot lie."

"That would be an oversimplification of your Tao Tongue physique\'s limitation. You do what you say. Period," Wyatt corrected and asked, "You should know better than anyone that trickery is not your fighting style, What changed?"

"I met with this Agent in Fine Gold Guards, she is so awesome. She is weak but easily defeats people stronger than her. I saw her use that trick, her enemy was so distracted by her body that he did not see the bone knife she was hiding in her leg. With one swift move, she cut off his head. Agent Khan is the best," Cortney narrated the events that led her to make some changes to her fighting style.

"Agent Khan, by chance are you talking about Debra Khan?" Wyatt asked Cortney, hearing her mention Agent Khan from Fine Gold Guards hiding a bone knife in her leg.

"Yes, her full name is Agent Debra Khan. Do you know her?" Cortney asked in enthusiasm while the blood rule in her ego gem automatically mobilized to heal her up. Her mutated ego-gem came with many such nifty perks.

"Yes, I do. I made her origin card, and she works in my company. Last I checked, she was Jaya\'s bodyguard. How did you meet her?" Wyatt was surprised someone managed to force Debra to resort to trickery in this city. After all, with the origin card he created for her, apart from his calamity daughter gems there weren\'t many that could reduce her to that state in this city.

"Oh right, you are now the secret owner of the Fine Gold," Cortney recalled. Then, she continued saying, "She is in charge of the orphanage\'s security now."

"What the fuck? Why would an orphanage require such strong security in my city? Didn\'t the Bright Lions and the Tiger squadron get rid of all the child traffickers when they took over the city\'s streets?" Wyatt asked in concern. After all, In a third-

tier city, mobilizing someone of Debra\'s prowess was like using a nuclear head to deal with a small insurgence. He could not believe that in his city, an orphanage needed such high-level protection. Then what about the safety of regular citizens?

"No, they did get rid of the traffickers. It\'s not them, the issue is something entirely different. It is regarding the land where the orphanage was built. Diana is not only renovating the old orphanage but has expanded it by taking over the surrounding area. People are okay with her renovating the old orphanage but they don\'t agree with her expansion plan. So there has been some trouble. Mostly with the construction work. Nobody has threatened the children yet. But Diana has moved her best people preparing for the worst," Cortney explained while doing some warm-up exercises. Her body was completely healed. Now, she was checking if still some hidden injury that required attention.

"Takeover?" Wyatt asked with a frown. Diana might have submitted to him but she was still as domineering to others.

"It\'s not as bad as it sounds. Diana had informed the owners of the surrounding land to vacate them as she was buying their land for thrice the maximum market price.

However, the landowners do not agree as their lands are not far from the center of the city. Those who own lands there are all wealthy and do not need money. Those lands are their investment and Diana\'s offer only makes them more sure about their investment.

They had asked Diana to use the money she was willing to pay them to buy land somewhere else and build a new and bigger orphanage and they were even willing to donate money for the good cause.

However, Diana feels that the current location of the orphanage is optimum. It makes it easier for the orphanage to avail of all the benefits and aid provided by the city. This is especially true for the older kids who have to commute to training centers and academies in the city—"

"Diana isn\'t doing enough. Follow me, I take it you also want to check on the orphanage," As Cortney explained the crux of the matter with the orphanage she was interrupted by Wyatt as he had heard enough to understand what was happening. It was the same old story, a bunch of wealthy snobs prioritizing their investments over the benefit of society.

Yes, the demigods were monitoring the city. Now, even Field Marshal was monitoring the city, but they were not allowed to interfere with the city\'s activities. They were only here to protect Wyatt and his friends and family. The Southern royal family\'s demigods or Field Marshal could make an exception in Sky Blossom City\'s case as it was happening under their watch but that was not possible as it would spook the other Cities\' fat cats.

\'Today it was some third-rate city, tomorrow it could be them,\' with this thought those fat cats would band together and do something stupid that would affect the economy of the Southern Region. Even though they were mere fat cats, the Southern Royal family needed them to keep the economy stable. Regardless of how powerful the royal family was, they cannot ignore these people. Which was why the demigods hardly ever interfered in the mundane world when they had all the power to do so. Also, the reason why the Royal families and Central government don\'t tolerate unaffiliated or rogue demigods who do not understand the effect of their actions on society. To ease the pain of a few they end up causing pain to many.

However, Wyatt wasn\'t a demigod but held power stronger than a regular demigod. He was not bound by these unspoken rules required to maintain the fragile balance in society.
