Cortney had friends of her age group in the orphanage but none were close to her because of her physique that did not allow her to lie. Also, Cortney preferred to be a lone wolf as she did not want to reveal Bloodette and the dungeon seal to anyone accidentally.

That was back when she did not know she had a manic mother and did not have the power to protect herself and the things she cared for. But when she had both, it was too late, kids her age had already found enough friends and did want new ones.

Not to mention they had formed an ill opinion about Cortney, especially with her free-spirited dressing choice that left very little to one's imagination.

So when Cortney found a boy shamelessly riding a golden hoverbike to their high school and could introduce himself to her by looking directly into her eyes and not her ample chest she felt like she had found her long-lost friend and the rest was history.

That was until his recent betrayal. She still had not been able to recover from it.

YouKnowWho," Bloodette said trying to console her best bud. However, the latter continued to be stumped and stared at Wyatt without blinking or moving any muscle in her body.

This scared both Bloodette and the Field Marshal. Listening to Bloodette lashing out and seeing Cortney's reaction, Wyatt understood he messed up and searched his brain trying to think of a way to salvage the situation but to his dismay, at that moment nothing came to his mind.

He felt as if his brain was grinning at him snickering, 'Suffer motherfocker, Suffer.'

Feeling betrayed by his own brain in his time of need, Wyatt kind of understood the feeling Cortney was undergoing so he decided to be honest with the duo, "Guys, I am sorry, I did not mean to hurt your feelings.

If it was some other organization I would have invited you guys before you asked me to. Please try and understand.

This devil merchant code is not the kind of organization that you guys think it is.

Yes, the Devil Merchant Code is a secret organization but it is filled with villains and tricksters.

The reason I am not inviting you to become one is because one of you is too good and the other is too stupid to be a devil/demon merchant." Listening to Wyatt's reason Cortney and Bloodette nodded in understanding.

Then they looked at each other trying to figure out which one of them was the good one and which one of them was the stupid one. Just when their gazes on each other were turning heated, Wyatt stepped in clarifying, "Cortney, being a devil/demon merchant means you have to be deceitful and cunning which you can't thanks to your physique that doesn't allow you to lie.

Bloodette, being a devil/demon merchant needs one to be very sharp and intuitive such that they can detect any bullshit, traps, or tricks from miles away and avoid them, which you clearly aren't. I say this because I saw a five-year-old from the orphanage fool you into eating insects when your diet is strictly restricted to blood-related foods.

I still don't understand why you ate the insects."

"She said I can't eat insects.

So, I ate them to prove her wrong," Bloodette replied proudly. However, she forgot to mention how she vomited those insects out ten seconds later, adding to the children's amusement.

Listening to Bloodette's answer Wyatt resisted his urge to slap his forehead in frustration meanwhile Cortney and the Field Marshal nodded their head agreeing with Bloodette. So, Wyatt could not help but feel these two might have eaten their share of insects in their childhood.

Wyatt who had always chosen the logical option did not understand what the insect-eating trio was proud of. But he used it to make his point, "See, that right there is why you are out."

"Fine, whatever," Bloodette tried to act aloof but her expression gave her away as she cared a lot.

Regardless of what Wyatt said now his blunt rejection earlier had done the damage and nothing he did could take it back.

"How about this why don't you guys join the Bright Lion gang? I am part of it too. We can be part of the gang together," Wyatt proposed to console Cortney and Bloodette but they immediately rejected him saying, "We promised the headmaster that we will not join any gangs."

"Then what about the circle?" Wyatt pointed out to Cortney forgetting he was trying to console her not rile her up.

She could not believe he brought that up but swiftly refuted, "I never officially joined the circle. I was just following my mother around."

Wyatt wanted to argue, 'That was not what I heard.' But the Field Marshal came to his rescue by interrupting him, stopping him from making things worse for himself, "Wyatt, are you in love with Susan?" Listening to the Field Marshal bring up Susan and Wyatt's love life, Cortney and Bloodette forgot their grievances with Wyatt and their ears perked up waiting for him to answer the Field Marshal.

However, Wyatt was astonished as to why the field marshal would suddenly bring this up. Wondering it had something to with her rooting for Anna and him to get together, he warned her with his intimidating eyes as he sternly replied, "It is not of your concern."

*Sigh* The Field Marshal let out a sigh and then shaking her head she spoke, "Well then let me put it this way, do you love Anna?" Wyatt stared at the Field Marshal hard, not understanding why she was bigging up this matter. Believing there had to be a reason he decided to ask her, "Why do you ask?"

"I need to tell you something.

I have been putting off this long enough, now I don't know how much longer I can hide it so here goes, you need to prepare yourself to hear what I am going to say next, it is regarding Anna and her isolated training…"
