Time- 12:19

Having seen Handsome Foxʼs ability in person as Bloodette exploded her blood-rule body, implanted in Susanʼs consciousness, and its residual energy in Coreyʼs body, Wyatt knew his assumption of Handsome Foxʼs ability was not wrong so he believed that Handsome Foxʼs ability came with conditions he was unaware of. These conditions of his ability might be the driving force behind his choice and actions.

Understanding this Wyatt realized he needed more information about Handsome Fox than he already had so he decided to contact Corey seeing how Handsome Fox had approached Corey first. Also, she did not have a new hypnotic suggestion implanted in her so recruiting her help was given considering how deeply she was involved in this incident.

[Corey, pick up my call. First, listen to what I have to say then you can hang up on me.]

Wyatt summoned his grimoire and sent a text to Corey asking her to pick up his call knowing that Corey would reject all of his calls without bothering to hear him out. There was a lot Wyatt needed to explain to her, so he felt it would be easier to explain things over a call than text. Knowing how much Corey envied Wyatt and Susanʼs relationship, he was sure she would not tell Susan about his texts and calls.

[Wyatt, whatever you want to tell me convey it to me through a text.]

Corey replied immediately, making it clear that she would not pick up Wyattʼs call. This prompted Wyatt to wonder, ʼIs it because she is next to Susan?ʼ Then he replied to Coreyʼs text trying to reason with her,

[Corey, it is regarding the demigods that ambushed you this morning. I know you will do anything to protect Susan. So, let me help you do exactly that. For that you will have to pick up my call.]

Corey being Corey, she did not listen to any reason and texted back rejecting Wyattʼs help,

[Wyatt, this is the last time. Text me what you want to say, donʼt spam me with texts begging to pick up your call or I will block you.]

ʼThat bitch,ʼ Reading Coreyʼs text Wyatt was immediately pissed. It made him seem like a stacker. Especially the word begging irked Wyatt the most. Controlling himself from rushing to the new Fine Gold Tower, he texted her back threatening,

[Corey, I am in the penthouse office of the Central Tower. Get your ass over here or I will come over there then Susan and I… you know the rest, right? Or do I have to spill it out for you?]

Seeing that trying to reason would not work with Corey, Wyatt learned his lesson and provoked her into getting his way. He knew he could not meet Susan but Corey did not know that.

Reading Wyattʼs text Corey was enraged but her face remained expressionless and calm. Despite the rage she was feeling within her toward Wyatt she did not let it show on her face and hid it in her heart. All this to ensure that Susan would not become aware that she was texting with Wyatt.

As for Wyattʼs text claiming that he was back in the city, she did not believe it. She felt it would be impossible for Wyatt to appear in the Sky Blossom city escaping the eyes of the Southern Royal family that kidnapped him in the first place.

Corey had no idea about the battle of the Southern Capital city nor did Baem tell her about it. It hadnʼt been long since she met Baem. The first time she asked Baem how she arrived in the card world before answering her Baem entered a slumber, and since then she has not had the chance to enquire Baem about it again.

So, Corey had no idea about what had transpired in Southern Capital let alone Wyattʼs heroics. However, when it comes to Susan, Corey does not like to take chances. Grabbing little Baem, who was sitting on her head, she placed her in Susanʼs lap saying, ”I am going to the ladiesʼ room. Itʼs urgent.” While signaling Baem with her eyes to stay put with Susan and guard her.

”Corey, you can use the one in my office—” By the time Diana finished her sentence, Corey had already left the office making use of her demonic agility.

Leaving Dianaʼs office in the new Fine Gold Tower, Corey directly rushed to the penthouse office of the Central Tower, nobody blocked her as she rushed to the top of the tower. Corey found this odd and wondered if Wyatt was not lying in his text.

Soon Corey arrived at the penthouse office to find Wyatt waiting for her. Seeing her, he said, ”Could you not have sent a text if you are going to be late? I was about to head to Dianaʼs office feeling you ignored my text.”

”You son of a—” Listening to Wyatt, Corey suddenly burst with explosive speed and dashed at him throwing a punch at his face while yelling.

But to her surprise, Wyatt rushed toward her at an insane speed meeting her halfway. Evading her punch, he got behind her and then grabbed her head by her hair to ruthlessly slam her face onto the office floor. The tiles shattered under the devastating blow. Some of its shards cut and pierced Coreyʼs face as her blood tainted them.

Then he whispered in her ears, ”Anna, Ann, and Agatha wanted to deal with you the day you almost gave into your darkness as you killed Roy. But I stopped them from doing so and you repaid me by putting Susan in harmʼs way? You do not have the slightest idea what your little wilfulness will end up costing Susan.”

”What the fuck are you talking about?” Corey asked Wyatt while struggling to break free of his restraints.

”Handsome Fox has murdered Bloodette and Cortneyʼs whereabouts are unknown,” Wyatt refused to believe Cortney was dead until he had enough proof.
