"Yes, I was planning to do that," Cortney nodded in agreement to Wyatt's proposal, and then turning to Bloodette, she informed, "Open the gate. Let's go and check on the kids. They must be worried since it has been a while since we visited them."
"About that, I don't think it is safe for us to go out of the dungeon seal right now," Bloodette solemnly said surprising Wyatt and Cortney.
"Why?" Cortney asked in concern.
"I feel a very strong spirituality scanning and probing the location of the gate. It is very strong, enough to detect the dungeon seal, but not enough to influence it. So we are safe in here," Bloodette explained.
"Oh, I see. Bloodette relax. We have nothing to worry about. I know that person. Though she might be p.i.s.sed that I did not deliver what I had promised," Wyatt a.s.sured Bloodette, knowing that the strong spirituality she felt was none other than the Field Marshal. The main reason he was heading out right now was to own up to his failure to keep his world to her. As for Diana, he could have used his calamity daughter gems to relay his instructions to her. Since he was heading out anyway he decided to do both.
"So, it is okay if we go out?" Bloodette asked for confirmation.
"Yes," Wyatt nodded and took the lead.
As soon as Wyatt stepped out of the dungeon gate, he heard the Field Marshal's voice in his mind, 'You finally showed up.'
'I am sorry, something came up so I got delayed. Give me a few more days, I will deliver what I promised,' Wyatt apologized and asked for time.
'I see you found Cortney. It is good to know that the Tao Tongue is safe. Fine, take your time but just don't take too long,' Field Marshal gave Wyatt the extension he sought seeing Cortney walk out of the dungeon gate, with the Bloodette's head sticking out from her neck. She was surprised to find that Bloodette was staring at her.
'Thank you, what about what I had asked you? Did the sinister snake show signs of going berserk?' Wyatt could have called Corey on her demon codex to check on her but asked the Field Marshal instead.
'No, the entire night was uneventful,' the Field Marshal responded.
'Thank you,' Wyatt said politely. Then, he took Cortney's blood subst.i.tute card along with a bunch of storage cards adding, 'By the way, I have another card with Gideon's ability sealed in it. And also, here, the new stock of VR cards.'
Collecting the cards from Wyatt's hand using her spirituality, Field Marshal replied, 'No need to thank me. Corey is a citizen of the Southern region her safety is my duty.'
'Alright. Then, goodbye,' Wyatt felt awkward saying goodbye to the Field Marshal for obvious reasons. But he had to because even though he knew the Field Marshal would be monitoring him, he did not want to hear her live commentary in his head. Now that Field Marshal was babysitting him, she had nothing better to do. Also, she has become more talkative ever since she approved him as Anna's fiance despite his various efforts to inform her that their relationship had not developed to that point.
"Wyatt, I contacted Diana, she is in the R&D building with Cindy and Vivian. And also the orphanage headmaster has invited you to have breakfast with the kids," Cortney informed.
"Call Diana and others, let us all have breakfast at the orphanage as we discuss business," Wyatt had little time on his hands he had to resort to such meetings to use his time optimally.
…
Inside an SUV headed to the orphanage, Wyatt long at Diana seated beside him and asked, "I heard you are having a problem with the expansion of the orphanage."
"Master Wyatt, it's not a problem worth your attention. Besides it is just some greedy and privileged people causing trouble. In the end, they have no other choice but to take our money and hand over the land," Old Diana would not be willing to give a dime to the landowners and just would have directly occupied their land but under Wyatt's management he had warned everyone from such behavior. So, she reluctantly offered triple the market value for their land.
"Good to know that you got it all covered but you see my city does not have a place for greedy people who only own to take from the city and have nothing to offer in return," Wyatt declared and instructed, "Send an ultimate to all those opposing your expansion proposal, they have an hour to make a choice, vacate their land, or leave the city. I am sure that you, Bright Lions, and TSR guild are more than capable enough to fill the gap their departure will bring to the city's economy."
Listening to Wyatt's cold words, Diana and Cindy looked at him with radiant eyes. Now this was in line with their way of doing things. Finally, their new boss was speaking their language.
"As for the money for their land," Wyatt asked Diana intently.
"I will add it to their accounts if they willingly give their lands for the expansion of the orphanage," Diana said.
"No, donate it to the orphanage in their names. I am sure the orphanage will appreciate their contribution," Wyatt corrected Diana. Listening to him, Cortney clapped in enthusiasm, "Yes, yes, the orphanage will appreciate their contribution."
"I understand, Master Wyatt," Diana nodded with a cruel smile finally getting a glance at how her Master wanted her to do things. Then she added, "Master, I thought of a new project. I want your permission to see through it."
"What is it?" Wyatt asked with a frown as Fine Gold already had a lot on its plate.
"It is related to the Orphanage development project."
