”No, I wonʼt. You have no other choice. Either choose to willingly sacrifice your freedom for my ambition, or I will sell you to the highest bidder to aid my ambitions” Wyatt reminded Redfall, making it clear that he was in no position to bargain. He emphasized that, regardless of what Redfall chose, in the end, he would end up contributing to Wyattʼs ambitions.

Wyatt could easily enslave Redfallʼs soul using the current grade of his Primordial Calamity Daughter Gem, but his intention wasnʼt to subdue Redfall. Instead, he was testing whether his speculation about his bloodline were correct. That, if his daughter gem were to truly surrender to him, his Cursed Primordial Bloodline would recognize them as its inheritor, as it had with Dalie and Clown Mask.

In truth, if Wyatt hadnʼt been short on suitable subjects to test his theories about his bloodline, he would never have considered turning Redfall into one of his daughter gems. Redfallʼs crimes were far too great. Not to mention, bringing him into his forces would turn Redfallʼs enemies into Wyattʼs enemies as well. He could have Redfall change his appearance and hide, but Wyatt didnʼt want to go to such lengths for someone like Redfall. Wyatt knew that if he were to leave the Southern Region, demigods would flock to him. With so many options to chose from Wyatt didnʼt want to waste a daughter gem on trash like Redfall.

Redfall wasnʼt surprised by his captorʼs words; he had suspected as much. He would have done the same if in his captorʼs place, but he had to try. After all, it was his freedom he was negotiating for. However, he didnʼt answer immediately. He wanted to see how long his captor was willing to wait and to gauge his own value in the situation.

”Iʼll take your silence as a rejection! Wyatt said, beginning to end the conversation. He knew Redfall was crafty, and from his silence, he sensed that Redfall still had some fight left in him. This indicated that Redfall was planning something. Therefore, Wyatt decided to cut the conversation short to keep Redfall on edge.

Shocked that his captor didnʼt even wait for a full breath before moving to end the conversation, Redfall quickly spoke up, crying out in surprise, ʼSenior, I agree. I wholeheartedly agree to sacrifice my freedom for your ambitions!”

”Youʼre sure?” Wyatt asked coldly. ”Once you sacrifice your freedom to me, you will never be able to regain it unless I will it. Donʼt think you can trick me. The prison holding you is more than just a prison...”

Wyatt warned Redfall to think carefully before making his choice. He began to explain the true effects and abilities of the prison, the Calamity Daughter Gem, making sure Redfall understood the consequences of his decision. Wyatt wanted him to fully comprehend what he was agreeing to ensuring that Redfall was truly surrendering himself to Wyattʼs control.

”I understand, Master!” Redfall agreed to be a daughter gem, despite hearing about the true abilities of the Calamity Daughter Gem.

Redfall couldnʼt believe such an item existed, but seeing the confidence in his captorʼs demeanor, Redfall chose to believe it. Yet, in the back of his mind, he felt nothing was absolute. Sooner or later, he would have the opportunity to free himself and avenge the humiliation he had suffered at his captorʼs hands. Therefore, without even waiting for further orders from his captor. Redfall fused his soul with his prison, the Calamity Daughter Gem, sealing his fate.

ʼSigh, even after I repeatedly warned him, he still didnʼt give up on conspiring for his freedom after being released from his prison, Wyatt sighed in his mind.

Reading the notification from his grimoire, Wyatt instantly concluded that Redfall had not fully surrendered to him, despite his repeated warnings. Still, he contacted Redfall, whose daughter gem was still in the Heathen Stone Prison, and inquired, ”Speak. What were you planning? Why didnʼt you fully surrender as I asked?”

”Master, I did not fully surrender because I felt I should be able to escape from you and then help revive my mother, the daughter gem Redfall replied, summarizing his old selfʼs thought process without going into too many details.

”Revive your mother?” Wyatt exclaimed in shock. At that moment, he guessed that perhaps, like her son, Yin Widow had made arrangements to revive herself in case of her unfortunate death.

Upon learning this information, Wyatt grew excited. This meant that all the treasures Yin Widow had stolen from the Yin-Yang Harmony Sectʼs treasury werenʼt stored in her diamond grade grimoire but in one of her hideouts, waiting for her or her son. He had wanted to find out if Redfall had truly surrendered to him when he chose to become his daughter gem-and in the process, he learned that the Southern Royal Family had not acquired the stolen treasures from the Yin-Yang Harmony Sect. Now, Wyatt understood why the Yin-Yang Harmony Sect hadnʼt been so eager to force the Southern Royal Family to hand over Yin Widowʼs grimoire. It seemed they too were doubtful that Yin Widow had stored all the stolen treasures in her grimoire and had been running around the Five Regions. That would have been plain stupid on Yin Widowʼs part.

Regardless of what the Yin-Yang Harmony Sect or the Southern Royal Family were up to, the stolen treasures were now waiting for Wyatt, as Redfall-Yin Widowʼs beloved son-was now his servant. He couldnʼt help but think that one good thing had come from taking Redfall as his daughter gem. However, he still hadnʼt given up on testing his theory about his bloodline.

”Redfall, if I were to help you revive your mother, would you surrender to me?” Wyatt proposed, recalling how Clown Mask had been promoted to Bloodkin-Tier Daughter Gem.
