Jill Norley was the daughter of the demigod Norley. The last time Wyatt saw Jill was when he helped Jill and Ann retreat to the safety of the palace grounds. After that, a lot had happened. Returning from the Yellow Plains he was too busy dealing the with Handsome Fox incident and did not have time to contact her and inform her of his well-being. Well, he assumed with her connections she would have learned of his safe return and tried to contact him if she wanted just like Ann did.

"What about Jill? Boy, you tell me what are your plans for Jill? You better have a good answer after what you did to her. Don't think that just because the Heatsend girl is here you are safe," Demigod Norley was taken aback by Wyatt's words. Soon his intimidating aura began to spread toward Wyatt alerting little Beam who was curiously looking at the cup of coffee wondering if she should give it a try. As a meat lover, she hesitated to drink anything without any meat.

"..." Wyatt was enjoying his coffee without any care suddenly paused. His eyes trembled with uncertainty and a hint of guilt. After all, he did do the deed with the man's daughter. But he wondered, 'How does he know what happened between Jill and me?'

"What's the matter, boy? Why are you quiet now? Don't tell me you planned to ditch her after you had your fill of fun with her," For the first time Demigod Norley noticed a genuine reaction from Wyatt even though it was minute.

"..." Wyatt slowly placed the cup of coffee on the table and sat up straight. He did not dare to meet Demigod Norley's eyes. Little Beam was surprised to see such a docile reaction from Wyatt. She wonder if he was the same Wyatt who heroically fought off Belphegor's WorldHog incarnation.

"What do I make of the silence? Don't tell me you were really planning to throw her away now that you are bored of her. Answer me, boy," Demigod Norley thundered. He was enraged seeing Wyatt not deny the accusation. Just the thought that his only daughter was being thrown aside by Wyatt after she gave him her body and soul got him riled up and his rage reached new unexplored realms. If it were his old self then he would be carrying tied-up Wyatt to his secret basement lab to put him through the same pain his daughter was going through.

"Sir—" Wyatt wanted to explain himself to Demigod Norley before things escalated but he did not know to tell Jill's father that what Jill and he had was purely physical and a one-time thing as proposed by Jill. No feelings were involved since Jill had made it clear that she had no time for a love life in her tight work schedule. Though Wyatt was dense, he knew calling a man's daughter a sult in front of him was crossing the line. Wyatt was not calling Jill slut but that would enraged Demigod Norley will take from his explanation. Which would not help his situation.

"Yes, go on why did you stop? Speak your mind," Demigod Norley controlled himself from going over the table and grabbing Wyatt by his neck. He repeatedly reminded himself that he was there for his daughter and how much the stuttering boy in front of him meant to her. Hurting him would only make his daughter hate more than she already does.

After the incident in the Southern Capital, Jill returned haggard and brokenhearted it pained Demigod Norley to see his lovely daughter like that. When he tried to console her she fought with him holding him responsible for what happened. Demigod Norley did not understand her logic because he was the one who went behind the backs of his friends and informed her about the Central Government and Morningstar University's collaboration to kidnap Wyatt under the guise of an early admission interview. So that she can inform the boy of the conspiracy and score some points with the boy.

Demigod Norley doesn't understand how he turned out to be the bad guy here when it was Wyatt who walked into the trap despite her warnings because of his arrogance and overconfidence in himself. Maybe instead of going out of his way to be actively involved in his daughter's life, he should have stayed out of it like all other parents who have no idea what their daughters were up to. He was starting to feel like trying to be the perfect dad for his daughter was coming back to bite him on him.

Despite thinking that, unable to see his daughter cry her eyes out day in and day out he could not help but actively collect any information on Wyatt by contacting the Central Government's spies in the Freedom Fighters. For his trouble, he finally learned Wyatt had recovered and returned to Card World. He happily informed his daughter about Wyatt's news hoping to put an end to her grief and pain. However, she only recovered for a moment and then continued to cry her eyes out more intensely than before. Seeing this Demigod Norley almost went crazy unable to understand why she was crying again.

After a little snooping around he learned that the reason for his dearest daughter's distress was Ann but mostly Wyatt. It turns out that after learning of Wyatt's return she immediately contacted Ann to inform her that Wyatt was okay since they both had gotten closer thanks to their shared interest in Wyatt. However, Ann bragged about how Wyatt called her immediately after returning to Card World to inform her of his safe return.

With this Demigod Norley gathered that the reason behind his daughter's continued grief and pain was Wyatt not calling her to inform her of his safe return to the card world. It appeared she was waiting for Wyatt to call her and with time not receiving the call she awaited her disappointment grew and so did her misery. Demigod Norley could not understand why Jill was crying over something so insignificant. Nor did try to understand, however, he could not stand to see his daughter miserable another second. Gathering that a single call from Wyatt would put an end to his daughter's misery he decided to get her the call she awaited.

Following his decision he tried to deduce Dalton Wyatt's location using his Divine Insight however his divine insight failed to locate Wyatt despite trying repeatedly. Believing that the Southern Royal family was hiding Wyatt, he once again called in favor of his friends in the Central Government to use their spy network and help him pinpoint Wyatt's accurate location. While they were at it, he also had them gather updated information on Wyatt, especially his romantic relationships. Not much was new from what he already knew, his daughter's strongest rival for Wyatt's affection was not Anna let alone her origin card Ann but a mortal girl from a humble background and with limited potential as card apprentice, Susan Tucci.

Receiving Wyatt's location, Demigod Norley hurried to the Sky Blossom City. However, arriving at the city he stealthily scanned the whole city to find Wyatt's whereabouts but he could not find any trace of him. Knowing that it was impossible for the information he received from the Central government to be wrong, he resorted to the high-profiled way to bring Wyatt out of his hiding.

Though he did not manage to attract Wyatt he managed to attract Susan, the obstacle in the way of his daughter's way to her happiness. He wanted to kill her right then and there but understanding that it would be counter-productive he held back.

Demigod Norley had no objection to whom Jill dated or chose as her life partner because someone who has lived as long as he did not care about such mundane details, as long as Jill was happy he was happy. If Jill wanted Wyatt he would get her Wyatt. He treated his daughter's life partner like buying her a toy to make her happy. Besides the toy she liked was up to his standards.

However, all this changed when Demigod Norley, sat across Wyatt and heard him nonchalantly ask, 'What about Jill?'

Suddenly a feeling that he did not usually feel surfaced in his heart. He felt strong anger and hatred toward Wyatt. He did not like Wyatt's attitude toward his daughter. His heart and mind were in turmoil,

'How dare he?'

'Who does he think he is?'

'He is not worthy of my perfect daughter.'

'Fuck, I want to bury him seven feet under.'

All of the achievements of Wyatt that were previously enough for Demigod Norley to acknowledge Wyatt as his intellectual equal for some reason no longer seemed to matter to him. Within under a minute he came up with multiple reasons why Wyatt was unworthy of his daughter. However, soon controlling his heart and mind he helplessly sighed understanding that this boy was what made his daughter happy.
