”How do you know about that?” Corey asked Wyatt in horror. She was under the impression that only she knew about the wealth she had inherited from Park and Little Baem.

”Most would assume that all of Parkʼs wealth was looted by Belphegor after he defeated her but you know he did not. Though Park is not smarter than you, she would not risk a head-on battle with Belphegor and the Seven Princes of Hell without making sure that her subordinates had a way out in case she lost. I am guessing she has divided her wealth and buried it in various places across the devil realm.

As for little baem, it would be surprising if she did not like to hoard treasures. Since you are the reincarnation of Park and inherited her memories, you know where her wealth is. Meanwhile, little Baem would give her life for you let alone her treasures.

If my estimation is not wrong, combining the Parkʼs hidden wealth and little Baemʼs treasures you are set to inherit enough wealth that could put you in the top one percentile of the card world,” Wyatt explained that it was not hard for him to guess that Corey was loaded for a card master from a third-rate city in a backwater realm.

Listening to Wyattʼs explanation of Coreyʼs inheritance, Susan looked at Corey in shock. Then she and Dredre wondered if Corey had so much wealth then why was she acting so cheap.

”Park plans to resemble her old forces but the wealth she and little Baem have is not enough. It will only last her months at best. Though I do not have any skills I do not want to get in the way of Park,” Coreyʼs eyes grew teary as she spoke these words, she choked on her words but she forced herself to speak from her heart, ”Park is not like me or my previous reincarnation, she is better than us. She did not deserve the tragic life she had been through. Whatʼs more, she did not blame her tragic life for her failures, she did not let it slow her, and she did not let her tragic life stop her from achieving her dreams. She overcame it and made a new life not just for herself but for hundreds of thousands of people. She became their hope and until the end, she remained true to herself and those that trusted in her.”

Corey locked her teary red eyes with Wyattʼs eyes and said, ”Wyatt, please help Park achieve her dreams and get her revenge. I will be your slave for the rest of my life, please help her.”

Corey could no longer control her emotions and began to sob uncontrollably. She was helpless, she wanted to see Park succeed in this life even if it meant sacrificing herself. She lived through Parkʼs memories, she knew and trusted in what Park was fighting for. Which was why she did not hesitate to ask for help from the guys who kissed her mother. Only she knew how much courage and self-retrain it took for her to ignore her ego and pride and ask Wyatt to help her friend, Park.

”Corey, come here, honey. There, there,” Susan hugged the weeping Corey in compassion and patted her back trying to console her.

Susan had no idea that Corey was carrying such sadness within her. Corey would always be laughing and up to no good. She never showed this side of hers to Susan. Despite hiding so much pain in her heart, she would always be there to lend Susan a shoulder. Susan blamed herself for noticing when her friend was hurting from the inside. She felt that Corey and Park had been better friends to her than she was to them. Realizing this Susan too began to weep resting her head on Coreyʼs.

In Susanʼs warm embrace, Corey began to cry louder. The helplessness she was feeling realizing that she was nothing was too overwhelming for her.

”Corey, donʼt cry,” Dredre flew next to Corey, and hugging Coreyʼs cheek she began to sob too. Laughter was contagious, and so was sadness.

Looking at the three, Wyatt did not know how to console either of them. Since Corey was the eye of this storm he decided to start there.

”Corey, stop carrying. I promise to help Park to the best of my powers,” Wyatt was not just saying this to console Console Corey.

Even before Corey asked him to help Park get her revenge, Wyatt had long planned to help Park reassemble her old forces under her banner again and attack the seven princes of hell from the dark realm. This way when the seven princes of hell commence their invasion into the card realm, their forces will not be able to focus entirely on the invasion but have to be split trying to defend against Parkʼs forceʼs harassment.

This was one of the reasons why he had given one of the devil merchant recommendation tokens to Park and recruited her as his employee. Wyatt was just bidding his time to think of a way to approach Park about this. But now with Corey breaking down, he had a perfect reason to bring this up with Park.

”Really,” listening to Wyatt, Corey stopped crying, and lifting her head she asked Wyatt with teary red eyes. As soon as she stopped weeping the other two too stopped weeping.

”Yes, I consider both you and Park as my friends. So if you guys are in trouble it is only logical that I help you guys out,” Wyatt spoke eloquently assuring Corey that he would not hesitate to help her or Park if they were in trouble.

”Then are you going to pay for my work expenses and not limit my private trading using the demon merchant codex?”

”Let us discuss that when Park is present.”
