Location- Card World, Southern Region, Blossom District, Sky Blossom City

Listening to Wyatt's threat, both Daisy and Brain stopped creating a ruckus. They were orphans, they were not afraid of sticks and stones, they dared to be brazen to get what they wanted. However, hearing Wyatt say he wouldn't hit them but their sister if they continued to do what they were doing, they both stopped even if Wyatt only made the threat to Daisy. Their sister was not strong like them, they worried that if she got hit she might die like their late friends.

Now that Brain was under control, Marcy turned to look at Daisy in Wyatt's arms and said, "Sir, I apologize for the kids. They are still small and figuring out the difference between right and wrong. Please kindly forgive them."

"I think they know the difference between right and wrong, they just don't care because they believe everything is forgiven because they are kids," Wyatt said looking into Daisy's eyes, carrying her in his arms. Daisy pretended to be pitiful and sobbed silently with teary red eyes. Staining her pink cheeks with tears.

"Sir, it is not like that, they are genuinely good kids—"

"Wyatt, stop it. You are making Daisy cry. I asked to help not make them cry," Bloodette interrupted Marcy and yelled at Wyatt.

Ignoring Bloodette's anger, Wyatt bent down and picked little Bloodette in his arms. Bloodette's clone had taken the form of little kids to play with them. Wyatt now carried an eight-year-old in each of his arms.

Ignoring the sobbing Daisy on his right and angry Bloodette on his left, Wyatt looked at Marcy and said, "Enough about the kids, let us talk about you. So, where was I? Yes, someone like you is overqualified to be a janitor. You have a unique power, it hasn't blossomed fully and is the leading cause of your deteriorating health condition. Fortunately, I know how to help it blossom properly and these kids brought you to me in time. If they had been slow by a day or two, even I could not be able to help you. Because even I cannot revive a dead person."

"I knew it, our sister was special," Brain exclaimed in excitement, and then turning to face the dining hall he yelled, "Suck on it, you suckers. You heard him. My sister is not sick or dying, she has yet to awaken her unique powers. She is you going to become the strongest card apprentices— uhm uhm uh mh."

Waking up from the stupor of learning about having unique power, Marcy hurriedly closed her brother's mouth. Then apologized to everyone in the dining hall, "I am sorry, I am sorry."

An unconscious smile graced Diana's lips, she was honestly shocked when Wyatt said Marcy was not fit for the janitor job. However, she knew her boss wasn't a shallow person and believed there was reason for what he said and patiently waited for him to explain it. And it was worth the wait.

"Mr Hope of the South, does my sister really have a unique power? Will you help her awaken it," Unlike Brain, Daisy double-

checked with Wyatt with hope-filled eyes. Looking into them Wyatt felt it was not a bad idea to help a few people on his way to achieving his chill life.

"Why should I tell you? You kicked me," Wyatt pretended to be angry with Daisy. Causing her to genuinely feel guilt. Then, she sincerely apologized to Wyatt, "Mister, I am sorry. I will do anything you want but don't hurt my sister because of me, okay?"

"Don't say such things otherwise people will misunderstand and call authorities on me," Wyatt said finding Daisy was scary. Shaking his head he answered her, "Your sister does have a unique power and I will see to it that she awakens it."

"See, Daisy, I told you Wyatt will help. He always helps me and Cortney," Bloodette anger toward Wyatt had cleared as he cleared the misunderstanding.

"Sir, is my condition really because of an unawakened power in my body?" Marcy asked Wyatt in disbelief even if she heard him say it twice. Who could blame her, she had lived with her condition as far as she could remember. Learning that there wasn't just a solution to her condition but it was a boon to her, she found it hard to believe it.

Wyatt lied. Marcy did not have any unique power. Instead, she was infected by a foreign pathogen from the Dark realm which was killing her slowly by feeding on her soul. This was the reason why despite hailing from a big Card apprentice family like the Davis family she had not awakened yet. If not for her being naturally talented in cultivating active soul control percentage, she would have been sucked dry by these pathogens.

However, with time, the number of pathogens in her body increased but her soul's active control percentage remained the same as it was being abused by the pathogens. With his soul pupils, Wyatt saw that in a weak or two she would die unless some strong like the Field Marshal helped her cleanse the pathogens in her body. She cannot get rid of them but she can reduce their numbers prolonging Marcy's life by another year or two.

The only reason Wyatt lied about Marcy's condition was not because of orphaned kids but also because of the orphaned kids. Wyatt did not mind telling the hard truth to Marcy, Brian, and Daisy since he planned to help her but then he did not tell the truth because then every sick person would come to him asking him to cure them.

Yes, Wyatt did not mind occasionally helping people he met on his journey to achieving his dream of a chill life but that did not mean he would invite every troubled person in the world to come find him for a solution. If he did that then even a third life time would not be enough for him to solve those problems. Wyatt's priority was still the same, it never changed, and he was clear about it.
