Looking at the sudden turn in the expression of the members, Wyatt frowned. Then, he used his soul pupil to gather more information on Aurelia's physique. Learning in-depth about her physique, he uttered, "Oh, I see. These bandages are not a fashion statement but to make up for your physique's shortcoming."
Listening to Wyatt the members turned to look at Cindy to see if she informed their boss about Aurelia's condition but Cindy shook her head denying it. This surprised the members, they heard that their boss had perceptive eyes but this was just godly. They knew for a fact this was the first Wyatt was meeting Aurelia, so how did their boss learn about her condition, if not from Cindy?
"Malvin, by chance are you the direct descendent of Dan Malvin from the border city?" Field Marshal asked Aurelia, as her unique eyes felt a familiarity from Aurelia's physique.
"Yes, senior. You are?" Aurelia nodded, her cousin was named after her great-grandfather.
"An acquaintance of your ancestor," the Field Marshal vaguely replied and then mentally requested Wyatt, 'Wyatt, see if you can help this girl. The southern region owes a lot to her ancestor.'
'That is not of concern to me and what makes you think I can help her?' Wyatt rejected the Field Marshal's request ruthlessly. Later, he added, 'She is my subordinate, and her well-being is my duty. That is the only reason I will be helping her.'
'There you go again? What difference does it make when you are going to help her anyway?' the Field Marshal hated this part of Wyatt that clung to doing this his way.
Wyatt did not bother to respond to the Field Marshal, ignoring her he turned to Aurelia who was hesitating to inquire about her ancestor to the elderly lady next to him, and said, "Don't feel shy, you can talk to her about your ancestor after the meet. But for now, let us focus on you. It is impressive that you could defeat a peak card grandmaster with a strong summon-type origin card when you have recently entered the card master realm not to mention the quirks of your physique."
"It was nothing compared to what you did Boss. I too hope to one day grow strong enough to defeat a devil in the card master realm," Aurelia brazenly revealed her goal.
"Wait, do you mean you plan to stay in the card master realm until you grow strong enough to defeat a devil?" Wyatt asked Aurelia in disbelief. If it was someone else he would not ask something so silly but based on what he had gathered about Aurelia's personality he felt she might have meant what she said.
"Yes, Boss," Aurelia exclaimed, and turning to her cousin she remarked, "See, I told you boss would understand me."
"No you dumb girl, can't you tell from his expression— sigh, think whatever you want to think, I don't want to ruin my mood explaining it," Dan said giving up on his cousin.
"Aurelia, to be honest, in my current realm I borrowed power from various taboo skills to defeat the devil and it came with a heavy price, which I am still paying. What I am trying to say is there is a lot of room for you to grow in your current realm but it is not enough to confront the devil. I have no right to stop you from pursuing your dreams and goals. All I can say is don't waste too much time figuring things out," Wyatt did not encourage Aurelia nor did he discourage her because he could not bring himself to do so noticing the signs of her hard work and dedication engraved on her body as scars and wounds.
The reason why Aurelia a novice card master could kill Ivy a peak card grandmaster realm summons created by Wyatt was because she was a martial card apprentice. A card apprentice that focuses on martial arts cards over skill, summons, and other type of cards.
Aurelia was no martial arts genius like Laura Hill who had the sword salve physique but Arurelia was able to achieve a maximum of grandmaster level mastery in various body reinforcement martial arts thanks to her hard work, perseverance, and with a little help from her quirky physique.
When Wyatt learned this, he realized that the bandages covering Aurelia's entire body under the tuxedo were not a fashion statement but an attempt to hide her severely bruised body. Because of her quirky physique's nature, Wyatt could not make out the bruises on her body the first time he used his soul pupils on her.
"I knew it, you would support me, boss," Aurelia only heard what she wanted to hear. Meaning she interpreted Wyatt's words to her mindset. Listening to her, Wyatt and the members of the Bright Lion gang could only shake their heads.
Then, Wyatt pointed at Marcy and said, "Anyways Aurelia, you are in luck that I found her. The thing killing her is an answer to fixing your quirky physique."
"Boss, do you mean to say that if catch the scum trying to kill her I can fix my quirky physique?" Aurelia asked Wyatt enthusiastically. Keeping the fact that he did not say that aside, Wyatt wondered how could make Aurelia believe that her quirky physique could be fixed by catching an assassin just because he said so. For goodness sake, he was a researcher, not a fortune teller.
Wyatt then turned to Kane and said, "You lost to her despite having Ivy to aid you in combat? One does not even need to lift their fists, just words are enough to defeat this airhead and none of you guys could do that?"
Wyatt then glanced over the other members of the Bright Lions. Disappointed over the fact that after his calamity daughter cores and Corey, Aurelia was strongest in the entire Bright Lion Security Agency. He believed that someone with little brains could fool her into admitting defeat. Real combat wasn't just about whose fist was bigger, it involved presence of mind, strategizing, and judgment.
