Hearing Diana confess, Jaya and Cindy's facial expressions stiffened. Their necks turned to face Diana, and their eyeballs moved to meet hers, but they couldn't as Diana's eyes were fixed on the high schooler who did seem to be surprised by the damning information confessed by Diana. Instead, he seems to have a playful smile on his face. Seeing this smile, Diana and Cindy trembled in fright upon a scary realization. As for Jaya, her poor brain could still not comprehend why her sister revealed the trap that she, herself, carefully placed in the contract. Sometimes being ignorant is a good thing. Unlike Jaya, who was confused, Diana and Cindy felt goosebumps on the back of their necks, realizing that they had seriously underestimated their opponent's capabilities.

What kind of person has a profound conversation and smiles with the people he knows are trying to backstab him. Diana and Cindy were unable to comprehend this. How is the high shooter so calm despite knowing everything had in store for him? How could he smile and offer the people trying to betray him represent? What the heck is he hiding under that smile? The more they thought, the more the boy started to seem mysterious to them.

"~ Master Wyatt, it seems you have already found my trap in the contract and knew what I was up to." Diana had made her voice appear weak, showing that she was devastated by this incident.

Unfortunately for her, her damsel tricks won't work on me. It was clear who was the victim and perpetrator here. And if I forgave the snake just because the apple was tasty, it was going to cost me dearly in the future if I still planned on making Diana my representative in Sky Blossom City.

"Yes, I did. Please don't call it a trap. It was too evident for a trap. Honestly, I am not angry that you tried to fight back. I can appreciate that. But how dumb do you think I am for you to use the contract as the trap? Now that ticks me off? Who falls for such a trap? What were you thinking?" Now that Diana chose to come clean, I finally had the chance to let her know what bothered me.

Going through the records of Fine Gold's contract with their partners, I knew why Diana would try to use the contract to trap me because that has worked excellently for her in the past. Most of her partners were tricked into signing a biased contract that only looked after Fine Gold's and its employees' interests, not the interest of the other parties involved in the contract. The difference in the legal expertise of the two organizations signing a contract deeply affects who will dominate their partnership. Unfortunately for Diana, I had Hive AI on my side.

"Master Wyatt, it seems you were expecting me to come clean." Reading through my reaction and response, Diana came to a frightening conclusion that the high schooler had already known that she would confess her wrongdoings and was waiting patiently for her to finish acknowledging her mistakes so that he could get the words he was holding in his chest.

"..." Cindy was psyched hearing Diana. As the personal attendant and old friend of Diana, she knew that despite her physical prowess, Diana's most vital asset was her calm and quick mind. Hearing Diana point out that the high schooler had not only seen through her trap but also guessed her next move, Cindy knew they had poked the wrong person.

"You are overestimating me. How can I know what you are thinking? But I am confident in my product, silver milk powder, and I do not underestimate my enemy. Knowing that you will understand the role silver milk powder will play in the world market in the future, I knew the only two choices you could make,

1. To act smart and replace the trap contract with a more friendly contract saying that the one you shared with my grimoire was the old contract and had some mistakes.

2. To confess, hoping to regain the trust you lost because of your action through your sincere action.

If you had chosen the first option, we would not be having this conversation right now. Fortunately for you chose the second option. Since you want to regain my trust, I will give you an opportunity to redeem yourself but remember you have sinned, so you have to bear its consequences. Tell me how you plan to redeem yourself." I know that an ambitious person like Diana would never let off a golden goose like the silver milk powder. So, I had already guessed that she would not risk straining the relationship between us after having experienced the miraculous effects of Silver Milk Powder. After all, an ambitious person like her would prefer to ride the silver milk powder tide than go against it.

When I first planned to introduce Silver Milk Powder in this world, I did not know how much of an effect it would have in this world. I knew that it had no competitors in the market, and that was one of the main reasons I chose to bring it to this world and patent it. But I seemed to have seriously underestimated the effects of the silver milk powder and its impact on the world market. If I had known then, I would have stuck to try and make some card recipes. That required a thorough knowledge of card creation techniques that I lacked and ended up taking the shortcut, which has me in tight proper right now. So I can see why a totally unrelated person such as Diana would underestimate silver milk powder. Therefore, I let her experience the silver milk powder so that she could judge its value, understand her mistakes and rectify her ways. Diana did exactly that by choosing to come clean and regain my trust with a more sincere method.

"Thanking you, Master Wyatt, for your generosity in offering a chance to redeem your trust in me. I know I was greedy and have sinned to take advantage of your trust in me. I am ready to accept the consequences of my action," Diana thanked me for giving her a second chance and readily accepted her faults. Also showed a willingness to bear the consequences of her action.

Hearing Diana, I nodded in satisfaction as most of what I was trying to achieve by giving her the taste of silver milk powder had been completed. Now remains the consequence of her action, " Diana —" just as I was planning to tell Diana her punishment,

*Tear* Diana bit hard on her lower lip and brutally tore apart her right hand from her right shoulder joint using her bare left hand.

*Splurt* *Splash* blood rushed out of her right shoulder and torn arm, covering the warehouse floor, couch, Jaya, and Cindy, who were sitting on Diana's right side. Soon the amputated right shoulder of Diana closed, stopping the blood from leaking on the floor and couch.

"Master Wyatt, Is my right arm enough to redeem myself? Or not?"
