When Aria approached the Royal Instructor demanding an apology, Wyatt moved next to Corey and asked, "Is little Baem asleep?" Looking at the scaly white bracelet on her wrist. "I just did not want to make trouble for my parents," Corey explained, understanding Wyatt's true intention behind his question. She knew Wyatt was asking why she did not use Little Baem to defend when Ransom and his time were threatening Adriene to destroy the slave contracts signed by the kids from the Southern Capital. At first, Corey was prepared to use Little Baem to teach Ransom and his team a lesson, but learning that they belonged to a covert department of the Southern Watch she stopped herself. Feeling if she acted out now, then her parents who too were serving in the Southern Watch would be troubled because of her actions. Seeing how they were already working tirelessly for the Southern Watch for more than a decade now, she did not want to be the reason to screw things up for them. Though they weren't there for Corey, they left her with a wonderful family who treated her like a princess. The least she could do for them was not add to their troubles. Hence, Corey held back and also asked Little Baem to do the same especially when she was enraged by Ransom using his intent sense to pressure her. "That's okay, the Little Baem would not be their match anyway," Wyatt truly believed this.
"What? No way," Corey did not believe Wyatt feeling what would he know about the demigod realm and their capabilities. "If you don't believe me you can ask her yourself. She is an agility type, at best she can outrun them but to take all of them on, she would lose badly with just facing the two of them let alone all five of them. Not to mention, once their leader used his unparalleled bloodline Little Baem would lose for sure," Wyatt did not say this to provoke Corey, but that was the truth. Ransom and his team were no joke. These guys were the best of the best. After the founder demigod Norley, the Field Marshal, the Royal Instructor, and Henricks, these guys were the strongest Card demigods he had come across. "No, you are wrong. Little Baem said she could swallow them all whole if she wanted to, they would not even be able to resist," Corey reiterated what her familiar told her to Wyatt, while the snake head on the white bracelet on her wrist opened its red eyes, it lifted its head and hissed at Wyatt in anger for belittling it in front of its master. "Maybe in her heyday but not now, she knows what I am talking about," Wyatt replied ignoring Little Baem's threatening gaze. Little Baem had harmed herself trying to nourish the corpse puppet made out of Corey Park's corpse. It was important to note that before her death at Belphegor's hands Corey Park wasn't a devil, yet with Little Baem's nourishment the corpse puppet refined by Belphegor not only gave birth to a perfect spirit but also raised in the realm becoming an Undead Devil. Regardless of Little Baem's mystical origin, this wasn't an easy feat to pull. It would be correct to say that Little Baem was still recuperating from her moment of foolishness. Knowing that her love for her master was beyond death was commendable but she did a lot of foolish things that she could not take back even if she wished to. Therefore, despite her big talk to Corey, it was a fact that Little Baem was seriously weak. Otherwise, knowing her nature even if Corey asked her not to she would not forgive Ransom for pressuring her with his intent sense. Had she been in her heyday he would have bathed in Ransom's blood to calm her anger. "Little Baem, don't listen to him he is just jealous of you. I know you are the strongest and the smartest," Corey showered little Baem with praise to calm and coax her not to pick a fight with Wyatt for his comments about her strength. Handling little Baem, Corey swiftly turned to face Wyatt and said, "What do you want Wyatt?" "Nothing, I just wanted to check up on Little Baem. It seems you have gotten better at controlling her," Wyatt replied looking at Little Baem return to its pretend sleep. "Wyatt, I don't control Little Baem. She respects me and chooses to listen to me, I advise you to learn from her," Corey pretentiously replied.
"Whatever, go head over to the Field Marshal and complete my commitment to her about arranging a meet between you too. Just listen to what she has to say," Wyatt ordered, planning to complete his promise to the Field Marshal. "What, I never agreed to do that. You promised her you go meet her," Corey resisted knowing what the Field Marshal wanted to talk to her about and she did not want to hear about it. "Sure, as my employee I order you to meet her in my stead," Wyatt sneered at Corey finding it cute that she believed she had a choice. "What the— I did not sign up for this," Corey protested only to feel a premonition. Then, recalling the contract she and Park signed she stared at Wyatt hard before finally agreeing to his arrangement, "Fine. You can force me to meet her but it is up to me when I choose to leave." "Sure, you can leave after you hear her out," Wyatt nodded with a smirk seeing Corey not stop to struggle until the very end.
"Ugh," Corey groaned in frustration. Then, she turned to find the Field Marshal to meet her and get it over with as soon as possible.
"Remember, play nice. Field Marshal is one of use now. If you have any problem talk to her she will help you to the best of her abilities," Wyatt warned Corey informing her that Field Marshal was a friend and she did not have to be cautious in her presence.
