“Asong is here and Karl is after her. Fuck!” Henricks cussed out aloud, unknowingly his demigod energy leaked from his body, fortunately, the Field Marshal was quick to react and contain it, stopping it from affecting the orphanage. His reaction was unlike his causal self when he got captured or Wyatt revealed his secret deal with Southern Princess. “You know her?” the Field Marshal was taken aback by Henricks response. She did not know he could react as such as he was the guy who remained calm and faced half a dozen supreme beings with her. She did not think something could garner such a reaction from him. “I’m sorry,” calming himself, Henricks apologized for his reaction while continuing to answer her, “Yes, I do know her.” “I see,” Field Marshal said waiting for Henricks to explain himself. “It’s just that Karl is serious bad news. You guys don’t know him as I do. Those who crossed paths with him did not end well, even if they worked for the masters. Knowing that Asong is being targeted by him I cannot help but fear the worst. Heatsend, you have to save her, promise me,” Henricks begged, coming clean about his worries to the Field Marshal. He was really scared of Karl. Knowing the extent of the Supreme leader’s prowess the Field Marshal did not blame him. It would be foolish not to be afraid of someone like that. “Sorry, I can’t promise you that. My obligation is to Wyatt and the citizens of the Southern region. If it or them I will not hesitate to make the necessary sacrifice,” the Field Marshal cruelly revealed that if sacrificing Asong would protect Wyatt and other citizens she would do it. The number of the undead demigods on the outskirts of the city was growing, now there were more than a hundred of them yet more and more undead demigods kept joining them. She was even sent a rescue signal to the Southern Watch. However, considering her recent sour relationship with her niece she did not think reinforcement would arrive in time. “How could you say that, she is one of us,” Henricks yelled at Field Marshal learning that she did not mind sacrificing Asong. “What is that supposed to mean? Are you telling me she is a member of the Freedom Fighters?” The Field Marshal acted surprised as if all this was news to her despite knowing how the Freedom Fighters’ relationship with Asong led to them supporting Aba Windsor in her quest and liberating the world from the domination of the three mischiefs. “She is a friend of the Freedom Fighters which means she is a friend of Wyatt’s. He would not let you sacrifice his friend for him,” Henricks had no idea about Wyatt’s relationship with Asong. He knew they were acquainted but he did not know how close they were, so he was just pulling on strings here hoping one of them change Field Marshal’s mind.

“Then you have nothing to worry about,” the Field Marshal replied nonchalantly feeling Wyatt could use this information. Therefore, she hurried to his side and Henricks helplessly followed. He did think of finding Asong in the city but his intent sense was seriously restricted by the Field Marshal, especially after the arrival of the undead demigods on the city outskirts. …

“Alright, what’s wrong?” Wyatt inquired Corey as they flew toward the new headquarters. “Nothing,” Corey replied.

“Then why are you being weird?” Wyatt did not believe her. Her actions were very concerning as she wasn’t being her usual self. “What? How am I being weird? I am just doing what a dedicated employee would do,” Corey snapped hearing Wyatt call her weird. “A dedicated employee would not talk in that tone with their boss,” Wyatt sarcastically replied and then, said, “Just tell me what’s going on, you not causing trouble for me is not like you.” Corey stared hard at Wyatt but letting out a sigh, she apologized, “I’m sorry my actions have caused you concern. I do better.”

“Holyshit, did you just apologize to me? Did Corey Bright just apologize to me?” Wyatt was shocked that Corey would apologize to him out of her own accord. Now that was unlike her, she never did before. It took Susan getting angry with her to apologize to Wyatt. Now Wyatt was sure something was going on with her. “…” Corey frowned seeing Wyatt’s exaggerated reaction. She rolled her eyes at him and continued to fly ahead. Wyatt caught up with her and said, “You know I don’t just see you as my employee but my friend too right? So, if something is bothering you just tell me. I will see if I can do something about it.” “Do you really mean it?” Corey asked, she too considered Wyatt as a friend but she owed too much to feel that way. “Now why would I not mean it? It is not like you tried to sabotage my love life time and again, or tried to beat me to a pulp— just kidding. Corey, I was kidding,” midway through Wyatt’s remark Corey rushed ahead, so Wyatt had to stop pulling her leg and catching up with her he had to come clean, “Corey, stop, I do think of you as a friend. Just say what’s going on with you?” “How are you so fast?” Corey asked Wyatt seeing him catch with her, as just now she along with her demon form wings used little Beam’s aid to fly ahead, yet Wyatt managed to catch up with her. “My celestial force is locked on to you— how do I put it so even you can understand? Imagine, my celestial force is the train, you are the engine pulling it, and I am a passenger onboard. Since I am on the train my speed is the same as the train’s speed. That is to say, my speed is the same as yours even if I am stationary. So I will be able to effortlessly catch up to you just getting in motion.” Seeing Corey’s eyes go wide with his lengthy explanation, Wyatt decided to end it with an example, “It is just like how a passager on the back of a train can just walk up to the engine at the front of the train, regardless of how fast the engine is going. The same concept is applied here.” “I don’t get it,” Corey scratching her head. Just when Wyatt was about to begin his explanation from the start, Field Marshal and Henricks arrived warning him, “Hostile undead demigods have surrounded the city.”
