"That was appetizing," Wyatt exclaimed finishing dinner. Henricks stared at him blankly while Field Marshal Heatsend and Corey continued to remain indifferent. "Thanks for the dinner. I gave your proposal a lot of thought. Honestly, I like it. I say, let's do it. With your money and our manpower, all five regions will be ours. But, I alone can't sign on this. So, I will return and persuade others about it. I will give you an answer soon," Henricks lied through his teeth, he was willing to say anything to get out here. "Henricks, please don't make a fool of yourself. I know you have contacted your people through your organization's encrypted grimoire network, informing them about your predicament. I also know that they are sending backups. Just know that if those guys arrive, I will ask Field Marshal to kill you first and then your backup. You know better than me that she is fully capable of that," Wyatt revealed that he had long noticed Henricks's little tricks. "The only reason, I am not killing you and taking over the freedom fighters through force is because you bought the Plague Doctor to help me when the devil incubated the plague egg in my body without me asking. I am not someone who forgets gratitude, so you are in luck. Take as long as you need to think over my proposal. Until you have decided on an answer you can stay in the city as my guest," Wyatt explained to Henricks why he was still alive with a serious tone and then turned to Field Marshal Heatsend, he ordered, "Get someone to make arrangements for his stay in the city. If he tries something funny kill him. If he tries to go near Clara or Marcy kill him." "Got it," the Field Marshal affirmed staring at Henricks thinking, 'So, it wasn't just me even Wyatt noticed him eyeing Clara and Marcy. How dare he eye my disciple.' Even before Marcy got cured of her terminal illness and gained her talents, Field Marshal had decided to train her impressed by her honest and hardworking nature. Now that Marcy was not only healthy but showed the potential to become a demigod, the Field Marshal was planning to take her as her disciple once she became a legal adult. But to see Henricks eyeing her, she was alerted. She did not dare to underestimate the means of Freedom Fighters to recruit new members, knowing Marcy's honest demeanor would easily buy into the Freedom Fighter's cause and be willing to risk her life for it. Therefore, she took Wyatt's suggestion to kill Henricks if he tried to approach Clara or Marcy very seriously. After all, finding good disciples was not easy these days and it would be a pity if the Southern region were to lose a talent like Marcy to the Freedom Fighters. "Hey, this not how you treat a guest, I am basically a prisoner here," Henricks protested ignoring Field Marshal Heatsend's glare. His intent sense told him that there was something different about Clara and Marcy, so he was subtly checking them out seeing Wyatt and Field Marshal Heatsend's reaction he knew his intuition was right. However, it would be difficult for him to approach them with Field Marshal Heatsend constantly monitoring him. "Now you know how I felt back then," Wyatt said with a sneer, and then, eyeing Corey, he ordered, "You follow me." Leaving the Field Marshal and Henricks behind, Wyatt and Corey head towards the new headquarters, after thanking Clara for an amazing dinner, as Cortney and Bloodette had long returned to the dungeon seal. He never got to give them Blood Rule Stream's message due to Henricks's arrival. After Wyatt left, Henricks looked at the expressionless Field Marshal and tried to lighten the mood, "It seems you were successful in recreating 'Celestial Rule Domain.' it is even better than the rumors about it. My origin card is completely unresponsive within this celestial space domain. What's more interesting is you are barely consuming any energy since you are borrowing celestial force from the Card World. I guess I am stuck in here for a while." "This is only a shabby replica, and I did not create it, Wyatt did," the Field Marshal answered without hiding anything as the Royal Instructor planned to submit a paper about it soon. "Hard to believe this is just a replica, but Wyatt sure does justify his genius title. To think he would succeed where thousands of use failed even if it is just a replica and not the real deal, he sure is something," Henricks praised Wyatt genuinely from the bottom of his heart. He really admired the little dude for his achievements at such a young age. "He can create the real deal but for some reason was reluctant to share it with us," Field Marshal said not wanting Henricks to think that Wyatt failed to recreate the real celestial rule domain. "He did, is there something he cannot do? I can understand him not sharing secrets with others but even you, I find it hard to believe," Henricks's words could easily be mistaken as him trying to drive a wedge between Wyatt and Field Marshal and he was doing exactly that. "Yes, even me," the Field Marshal responded with a stern tone which conveyed that, 'You got a problem with that, Jack?' Finding Henricks words were wrong. "You don't have to be so cold to me, we used to be colleagues watching each other's backs once," Henricks tried to use old memories to get on the Field Marshal's good side, so he would be able to take more liberty during his stay here even with her monitoring him constantly. "Henricks, ask your people to leave while I am still being polite," Field Marshal suddenly warned her old colleague sensing a few unfamiliar energy signatures on the outskirts of the city. He instantly suspected him because Wyatt did say that Henricks had contacted his people and they were sending backup for his rescue.
