Despite Anna's warning Ann decided to do what she thought was the best for the boy. If everything works out as she hoped, Anna would be thanking her for it.

'I don't, I really don't want you to do that. If anything I want you to do nothing. Ann, despite our quirk of being able to access each other's thoughts, how could you be so wrong about what I want you to do?' Anna felt that Ann was doing this on purpose otherwise considering their mental connection they both should not require to have this conversation.

'Anna, forget that why is Asong not reacting? Shouldn't she have received the news about Wyatt's death by now?' Ann skillfully switched the topic of their conversation.

Anna knew what Ann was up to by bringing this out of nowhere but what she said was also concerning, Did Asong not receive the report from her subordinates? Or was the boy's attempt to fake his death for the second time, seen through by the allied semi-demigods?

But considering that any underlying would not be enthused to report the failure of the mission, Anna thought that news about the boy's death would soon reach Asong.

'Forget about that, how do we sell Wyatt's death? Do I have to kill Aba just to keep Wyatt's fake death under wraps?' Anna was more worried about her reaction ruining the perfect fake death pulled off by the boy.

'Yes, Anna, kill Aba that will solve everything,' Ann was not being sarcastic, her words were genuine. Anna killing Aba would easily steal the spotlight on the boy's death onto itself. Ann could not think of a better distraction than this.

'Could you stop with your sarcasm at least now?' Anna said in annoyance.

'Girl, who has the time to be sarcastic, I am being serious. What could be a better distraction than you killing Aba?' Ann explained.

'And people call me the crazy one of the two,' Anna uttered as she began to think of the perfect reaction to avoid Asong having doubts about the boy's death, or doing anything else that would raise Asong's suspicion about it. The boy had faked his death almost perfectly, Anna did not want her being nosy to ruin it for the boy.

'Since when did you start caring about the consequences,' Ann muttered in dissatisfaction as she was being looked down on by Anna of all people.

'Shut up, I am thinking,' Anna went through all her tell signs and decided to avoid them during her upcoming act.

'Well, whatever you have thought of you better hurry up. From the looks of Asong's bodyguard's positioning, it seems they had received the news and are preparing for the worse,' Ever since Anna threatened Agatha and Asong came to her rescue, Ann never lost sight of what Asong's bodyguards were up to because depending on the situation they could be her enemies. Thankfully things did not come to that, though she had to pretend that it had come to that.

'Watch me,' saying that Anna began staring at Asong indifferently.

'Ah!' Asong whose eyes meet Anna's indifferent stare, screamed in fright.

Seeing her act showing results already, Anna was convinced she was headed down the right path and then continued with the act as she menacingly said, "I take it your cronies have finally informed you about Wyatt's death."

'Great, keep this up while I think of a way to send her packing,' Ann was impressed by Anna's act, and seeing Asong panicking she was more than satisfied. She felt as if Anna's years of lying were finally being put to good use.

'Whatever you end up planning, remember no killing. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain when Wyatt comes back from his fake death,' Anna reminded Ann that killing Aba or anyone for that matter was off the table.

'How do you expect me to sell that you are grieving to Asong without any bloodshed?' Everybody in Anna's circle knew if she was angry, then someone was going to have a bad day or even the last day of their life.

With such a reputation, if Anna were to not spill some blood it would definitely raise Asong's suspicion. Making Ann's task more difficult than it has to be.

Seeing Asong dare to make eye contact with her, Anna maintained her indifferent gaze and heard Asong say, "Before you do anything we all regret, why don't you take a deep breath and think this through? Agatha—"

Knowing where Asong was headed with her words, Anna following her act interrupted her in the middle in a fit of rage, "Asong, we are best friends but choose your next words wisely."

'Anna, you are on fire today. Your lying is finally coming in handy,' Ann was not surprised seeing Asong and others falling for Anna's act, otherwise, Anna's hundred years of career as a lair would be a waste.

'Stop wasting a time figuring out how to put an end to this,' Anna was doing well so far but she knew herself and knew it was about time she did something to mess up what she had built so far.

"Empty beasts are not easy to defend against. Even demigods can't—"

"So what? It was their duty to lay their life protecting Wyatt but he died and they are still alive—"

Anna continued to contradict whatever reasons Asong came up with, with an indifferent face but she never expected hysterical Susan to interrupt her, "No, Wyatt is not dead, he can't be dead, take that back."

'What does she mean? Does she know Wyatt is alive? How does she know that? Did Wyatt send her a text informing her of his well-being? Why did he send her a text but not me? Does He care about her more than me? Is she more important to him than me?' Anna's mind went to a dark place misinterpreting Susan's response.
