Listening to Wyatt, in frustration, teary-eyed Corey bit down hard on her lower lips causing it to bleed and said with a strong resolve, "I will think of something to repay you."
Seeing this, Susan, the Field Marshal, and Corey Park rushed to Corey\'s side to comfort her. Making it hard for Wyatt to be dismissive about the topic at hand. Seeing everyone take Corey\'s side Wyatt suddenly felt like the bad guy when actually for once he was not. If anything he has been very generous with his terms regarding this matter, however the Southern Royal family doesn\'t want to pay him a penny and have him do it for free in the name of patriotism.
Now that the whole world was seeing him gather a lot of wealth through VR-universe they expect things from. The Southern Royal family was no different. However, Wyatt felt he owed no one nothing.
"Corey, get ready, lets go to the Way Beyond and kidnap you parents. The Field Marshal will take us there and cover us," Wyatt suddenly declared, dumbfounding all those who heard him. Especially, the Field Marshal, she wasn\'t expect Wyatt to find such a solution of Corey\'s problem.
"Wyatt, are you out of your mind? You are talking about kidnaping two undercover agents of Southern Watch. If caught you can be charged with capital crime," the Field Marshal exclaimed getting over her shock. Even as she spoke she could not believe she was having this conversation with Wyatt.
"Fine, we will make it look like they were killed in the line of duty. This way they can start their new lives with Corey anywhere in the five regions and I don\'t get charged with capital crime," Wyatt modified his plan on the spot and then hurried Corey, "Stop standing in a daze, Corey. Lets go and get your parents."
Listening to Wyatt their was a glimmer of hope in Corey\'s eyes but soon it vanished as the Field Marshal said, "That would make the Bright couples deseters and it is a capital crime."
"Wyatt, you made your point. Now stop it," Corey suddenly spoke up. Then, she continued, "I also had similar thoughts when little Baem came to me, but then I changed my mind because that was not what my parents would want. They have spent several decades of their lives trying to help the Southern Region in their way. I don\'t want to get in the way of that because of my selfishness. Wyatt, that is why I decided to ask for your help no matter what it costs me."
"Corey, honey, you are not being selfish for wanting to spend quality time with your parents, for wanting them to be a part of your life. The situations sucks but don\'t you ever blame yourself for it. You have done nothing wrong," Susan suddenly grabbed Corey by her shoulders and staring into her teary-eyes she spoke with a gentle but frim tone conveying that there was nothing wrong with the way she felt. She wasn\'t being selfish for wanting to be with her parents.
"Corey, if it was one time thing, I would swallow this loss for you. That\'s how much you mean to me. But it isn\'t, the only solution I see here is for the royal families and central government stop being greedy. Its very unfortunate that your parents are being used by them as pawns to fight for their greed but my hands are tied here," Wyatt said few words to comfort Corey.
There was nothing more he could do here. It was up to Corey\'s parents to realize if what they were fighting for was worth it and if missing out on their only child\'s life was the cost they were willing to pay. Well, seeing how the Southern Royal family went as far as to let Anna become Corey\'s god mother to please the Bright Couple, it was difficult to say Corey\'s parents would ever comeout of their brainwashing.
More taxes at Way Beyond would help decrease financial burden on the Southern Region\'s economy but was it worth the sacrifices that the Southern royal family was making to maintain the tax flow from the Way Beyond. Not to mention, the mercenaries risking their likes to make a living at the Way Beyond were humans too.
From what Wyatt had gathered, nearly 60 to 70 percent of the mercenaries\'s loot gets taken away by the Royal families and Central government at the Way Beyond as tax. Their reason being that the only reason these mercenary were safe after looting the supreme beings\' territory was that the supreme beings did not dare to chase them past Way Beyond because of their treaty with the Royal families and central government.
Both the sides had their reasons to justify their actions but Wyatt sided with the mercenaries over the royal families and central government because he came from a free world were the world belonged to those that dared to chase their dream.
"Its okay, Wyatt. Though its hard for me to believe that you would do that for me but I trust you," Corey said raising suspicion over Wyatt\'s claims that he would willingly lose money for her.
Wyatt\'s eyes twitched seeing Corey be suspicious of his words but he did not lashout knowing that Corey had her own things to worry about. His bond with Corey was unlike the bond he shared with others. As a transmigrator, he believed if someone were to understand him, it would be a reincarnator like Corey. This combined with his first memory of Corey, the brave little girl who came to him in search of a job. When he sees Corey he doesn\'t see the fuck up she was right now but the determined little girl that desperately wanted to change. He could still see that little girl in Corey today therefore he tolerated her despite her quirks.
"Corey, you are so understanding for your age. I was worried that you would get on board with his crazy ideas," the Field Marshal praised Corey for not going along with Wyatt\'s crazy plan to kidnap her parents. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She knew that Corey desprately missed her parents so when Wyatt proposed his crazy ideas she did not have any doubt that Corey wouldn\'t agree with him. But Corey managed to surprise her once again.
"Could you give it a rest? I thought you guys were on guard about her being a demon worshipper. What changed? Why are you acting so shameless about taking her under your wing? I don\'t care what you do and how you do it, but since you involved me, I have to say it, just be straight foward, enough with the games.
Do you know that Marcy Davies has reached out to Fine Gold, TSR guild, and other orgainzations across the five regions for work? Thankfully, Daina got wind of this and recruited her before anyone else could while giving her a full scholarship to a university of her choosing in Southern Acadmic city.
If you want something just go for it, why the hell do you play these games? Are you that afraid of being rejected?" Wyatt did not understand these old people, the Field Marshal could have helped Marcy Davis long ago but she had her plans. Fortunatly for her Marcy meet Wyatt otherwise, Field Marshal would have to recurit Marcy\'s corpse as her disciple.
"Wait, didn\'t Marcy already join your organization last afternoon?" the Field Marshal asked in confusion. Last she recalled Marcy was set in sky blossom city.
As for her doubts about Corey being a demon worshiper, she had already confirmed with Corey that her titled demon core was a result of her origin card and not because she was a devil worshiper. The Field Marshal who was always looking for new ways to enhance her strength, saw a hope in Corey who was card apprentice and a demon at the same time with blessing of the Card World. After all, the Devils have always displayed stronger combat prowess than the Card Demigods. The Field Marshal had her reasons to choose Corey as one of her disciples along with Marcy.
"I had my people delay that, since I felt she would feel constrained by her contract with Fine Gold once she becomes your disciple. In the end it was all for nothing. However, seeing how she will be thrown out of the orphanage soon, Marcy did her best to secure a job before that happens. I can understand why she was so impatient but what about you what are you waiting for?" Wyatt tried to understand the Field Marshal\'s mindset for accepting disciples. She wanted both Corey and Marcy. However, they both received a different type of courting from her. Corey and Marcy were different, but Wyatt did not think this was reason enough for the great Field Marshal Heatsend to shamelessly court a extraordinary but troubled teenager from a third-rate city as her disciple.
