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

"Kid, whoever you are, your actions are harming the people of the south—" Lt. General Spencer could not help but yell at the card master seeing that he was about to reveal the location of Dalton Wyatt to Demigod Norley but before she could finish invisible for force smashed into her. The impact sent her hurling into the nearby structures, which could not break her speed and were destroyed. 

"This was just a warning, next time I will aim for your divinity," Demigod Norley said as he glanced over the remaining 10 demigods. Then I looked at the card master and waited for his response. However, to his surprise, the card master began to morph. 

Witnessing the sudden transfiguration of the card master Demigod Norley could not help but frown. Yet he did not hastily act on his first impulse but patiently waited. Not that he trusted the oath the card master took with the world's will as a witness but he trusted his knowledge of the card apprentice's anatomy and believed the thousand ways he could make a soul talk. 

"Hi, I am Dalton Wyatt. You wanted to meet me," Wyatt morphed into his original form and kept his promise to the hostile demigod. Because of the soul transfer ability of his calamity soul gem, he was not worried that the hostile demigod would kill or worse kidnap him. 

"Boy, you think this is a joke?" Demigod Norely asked Wyatt. 

"Your Highness, you wanted to meet me now am I here," Wyatt replied with a deadly serious stare. He was enjoying every moment of this. 

"Do you think you have found some kind of loophole? Are you feeling proud of yourself right now? Let me tell you, you are way in over in your head," Obviously, demigod Norely didn't believe that the Dalton Wyatt in front of him was the real Dalton Wyatt. Instead, he believed that the card master was trying to act smart. 

"Your Highness, What are you going on about?" Wyatt said acting confused while forcing himself not to burst out into laughter. He did not think could love myriad devil transformation abilities any more than now. Fooling a stuck-up demigod felt so satisfying that he thought of endless possibilities of using Myriad Devil Transformation to pull some serious pranks. 

"Don't test my pati—," Demigod Norley suddenly paused in the middle of his sentence. His uninterested stern expression turned into one of shock. He did not believe that the one in front of him was Dalton Wyatt. Yet, what shocked him was that the soul signature and vibration of the card master in his late twenties and the fake Dalton Wyatt in front of him were different. Not different by a little margin similar to that of a card apprentice using shapeshifting cards but different like they were two different people. 

How can one person have two sets of unique soul energy signatures and vibrations? Unless some sort of freaky twin souls one-body situation was going on. During his experimentation days, he came across many such cases. 

However, even in the rare case of twin souls in one body situation, their soul energy signature and vibration though different had some markers in them that told that the two souls were related. This was also true for regular siblings and parents and children. But right now, no matter how many times he compares the two different sets of soul energy signatures and vibrations of the card master in his late twenties and the card master claiming to be Dalton Wyatt, he could not find any markers in them indicating that they were related. 

"...." Demigod Norley was without words as stared at the card master claiming to be Dalton Wyatt. He was stumped as he had no idea what to make of the situation right now. After he retired from a long life as a researcher, he did not think that there would be things that he would not know or heard about but with just one visit to this no-name third-rate city in the southern region, his opinion changed. As he found not one or two but three anomalies here in Sky Blossom City. 

Lt. General Spencer who was finally able to walk, limped toward the 10 demigods encircling Demigod Norley. Fortunately, Demigod Norley did not use all of his strength, or less being caught off guard by his sudden attack she would have been in a worse condition. On her way over what she saw shocked her to the point where her heart almost jumped out of her throat. Unlike Demigod Norley she was aware of Wyatt's out-of-this-world transformation skill as she had read it in his dossier. Therefore, she knew that the card apprentice who morphed into Wyatt in front of Demigod Norley was the real Dalton Wyatt. 

Just when Lt General Spencer was thinking that the situation had gone out of hand, he was astonished to find that Demigod Norley did not believe Wyatt when he said he was Dalton Wyatt. Lt General Spencer was in a dilemma. She did not know what to make of this situation.

Lt. General could see that Wyatt was trying to hold in his laughter. Seeing this she shook her head in dismay. Wondering what Wyatt was trying to achieve by this. Because angering one of the founding fathers of the current government was not worth it. 

Besides, what if Demigod Norley ends up killing Wyatt thinking that he was fake, or what if Demigod Norley figures out that Wyatt was not fake but has been laughing at him and feeling humiliated, he ends up killing Wyatt out of sheer rage. Regardless of the outcome, she knew that things were not looking good for Wyatt. She felt Wyatt was playing with fire and would get burnt to death for his recklessness. She was not the only one who thought as such, the other 10 demigods felt the same. 

"Your Highness, he is indeed Dalton Wyatt. He has a very effective morphing ability," Lt. General Spencer hurriedly informed Demigod Norley knowing that the longer this continued the more humiliation he would suffer and the more enraged he would be. So she decided to put an end to Wyatt's shenanigans. It was just Wyatt who would be paying for his rash actions then she would not have intervened but because of his actions, the Southern region and its people would lose their hope so she had to step in hoping Demigod Norley would be reasonable. 

Demigod Norley looked at Lt. General Spencer, deducing she was not lying to him. He turned to look at Wyatt with an intense gaze. Only he knew what he was thinking. 

Seeing Lt General Spencer ruin his fun, Wyatt looked at her emotionlessly and humbly said, "What are you guys here for? Get lost. You guys are not good for anything but lying and taking a good beating. Scram, I don't need you."

Lt General Spencer and her subordinates were all taken aback hearing Wyatt's words. They could not believe they were willing to sacrifice their life for this rude kid. They thought they were protecting someone worthy this time around but turns out they were just being hopeful he was the worst of them all. At least other royal kids knew the time and place to act spoiled but this one was in the league of his own. 

"Why are you guys still here? Didn't you hear me order you to get lost?" Wyatt yelled at the 11 demigods again seeing none of them respond. 

"Stay here for all I care, useless pieces of shit," Wyatt cussed getting no response from the 11 demigods. Choosing to ignore them he turned to look at the hostile demigod and said, "So what do I call you? You do remember your name or did you forget it with your age and people regularly calling you Your Highness, Your Majesty?" 

Listening to Wyatt, the jaws of the eleven demigods dropped to the ground. They all wondered if the boy was seeking death. However, they had no idea that Wyatt was indeed seeking death. He believed that once the hostile demigod killed him he would be on his merry way to whatever coffin he climbed out of. 

Lt General Spencer hurriedly corrected Wyatt, informing him, "Dalton Wyatt, mind your tongue. You are in the presence of His Majesty Norley, one of the founding fathers of the current government. It's okay if you do not respect us but you cannot disrespect His Highness." 

"Oh, I see," Wyatt nodded, and then glancing at Demigod Norley he said, "So you're one of the people who gets a piece of my taxes. I remember paying all my taxes on time, why else did you want to meet me?" 

Lt General Spencer and the other demigods looked at Wyatt and wondered, 'Is this really the genius who is considered the hope of the southern region?'
