"Yes, I can. But Aurelia's case is special. Remember how I told you before, the thing killing Marcy can save Aurelia," Wyatt agreed finally revealing the truth to Aurelia and Field Marshal. "Yes, yes, I remember. Boss, you are great," Aurelia praised Wyatt without sparing her saliva. Had she not been covered in sweat, she would have hugged him. "What do you mean?" Field Marshal unlike Aurelia was more focused on understanding what Wyatt meant, wanting to be thorough.

"Do I have to elaborate? Just like how the hidden families have their method to let their descendants inherit certain physiques and traits that they do not share with the world. I too have developed a few methods for certain physiques and traits," Wyatt answered honestly.

"So Clara's 'Soul sensitivity' and Marcy's 'Unbreakable' 'Prodiogous Soul' & 'Gifted Linage' were your doing?" The Field Marshal inquired Wyatt as these traits and physiques were just too attractive. The Hidden families that Wyatt spoke of did have methods to help their descendants get physique and traits but the physique and traits they gained were nowhere as good and powerful as the ones Clara and Marcy awakened. If Wyatt had the method to help others awaken traits and physiques similar to the ones awakened by Clara and Marcy then that would be godly. "No, don't misunderstand. I did enrich Clara and Marcy's souls and helped them become card apprentices but the physique and traits they awakened have nothing to do with me. I am generous but not generous enough to gift people I just met the traits and physiques with infinite potential," Wyatt said shaking his head, as he too had his eyes on Clara's 'Soul Sensitivity' and Marcy's 'Unbreakable' traits, but he was helpless as they were the qualities of their souls they had honed by grinding themselves in the mill named life. The Field Marshal nodded feeling what Wyatt said made sense, she did not believe him when he said he was not capable enough to grant those traits and physiques but she believed him when he said he was not generous enough to gift those traits and physiques to strangers. Clearly showing what kind of impression she had of him despite all that they had been through these past few days. "Hey, Intern. Aren't you being too casual and a bit disrespectful when addressing the boss? Do you even need me to teach you the basic manners? Your actions will reflect badly on you since I am responsible for you," Aurelia suddenly snapped at the Field Marshal. "Were you speaking to me?" The Field Marshal responded threateningly staring at Aurelia. "What kind of attitude is that? Believe it or not, I will write an official reprimand. Remember, three strikes and you are out," Aurelia yelled back. By now the Field Marshal should have taken the hint that Aurelia would not back down to such tricks. "Field Marshal, if I were you I would take her words seriously," Wyatt said supporting Aurelia. Feeling that the Field Marshal was not taking Aurelia seriously. "..." the Field Marshal intently looked at Wyatt without saying anything. Only to hear him say, "If you want to give me your loyalty do it my way. Otherwise, I don't want your loyalty." "What do you mean you do not want my loyalty? What do you take me for? I am not a plaything that you can discard after playing with it. I am the Southern Hero, damn it!" the Field Marshal yelled in frustration. "I don't care if you are the Southern Hero. I wanted a loyal subordinate who could follow my orders, not someone who did what they wanted and when they wanted while claiming to be loyal to me. Speak now, if you cannot be mine complete in heart and mind, then I will annul the oath so you can go where your heart and mind are. If worst comes to worst I will think that I bet on the wrong person," Wyatt gave the Field Marshal a chance to regain her freedom. "..." the Field Marshal could not immediately respond listening to Wyatt's proposition.

Shaking his head, Wyatt decisively declared, "Field Marshal, in the presence of the World's will: I, Dalton Wyatt, of my own free will, annul the wager between us. You are now free to leave."

Aurelia looked at Wyatt in shock, she had no idea what the wager he spoke of was but she could not fathom why he would free a capable slave like Field Marshal. If it were her, she could not do it. "Y-you you—" The Field Marshal felt like a lump was blocking her speech. She was the most astonished by Wyatt's decisive action as it was directly related to her fate. Instead of being happy that she was free she felt both rejected and abandoned by Wyatt.

"Now, leave. I would like to continue helping my true subordinate in peace," Wyatt shunned the Field Marshal like she was an after thought and turned to face Aurelia. Only to find her kowtowing in front of Field Marshal seeking her forgiveness. Witnessing this blacklines formed on Wyatt's head. She was indeed could adapt to change quickly like the river, Wyatt will give her that. "Intern— I mean newbie— I mean Your Highness Field Marshal Heatsend, please spare me. I wasn't thinking straight. The little power I had, had gotten to my head. I beg you, please do not waste your energy on me, I am a nobody—" Aurelia began to beg the Field Marshal to spare her life. Now that her boss had fired the Field Marshal, she had no power whatsoever over the Field Marshal and had to watch out for her revenge. "Aurelia shut up and get the heck up. She cannot harm me or any of my friends, family, and employees," Wyatt interrupted Aurelia sternly informing his most shameless subordinate about his contract with Anna. Listening to Wyatt, Aurelia lifted her head and looked at Wyatt for confirmation. Recieving a nod of confirmation her face instantly regained her smug expression as she got up on her feet, and looking at the stunned Field Marshal she said, "Intern, you should have listened to me. You might have lasted longer—" *Boom!* ...
