Once the crowd had assembled neatly before him, Wyatt got up and stood using Draganoid JJ's head as his stage, he then looked at Adriene who was standing along with Aurelia, Corey, and Jaya. Feeling Wyatt's gaze on her Adriene did not cower instead looked back at him. The lives of her faction members were at stake here she could not appear weak right now even though she had no intention of fighting Wyatt. With Adriene's reaction, Wyatt's uninterested eyes brightened because not only was Adriene able to resist the effects of his celestial blood fate domain but she was smart enough to weigh her pros and cons. Of the many routes she could have taken, Adriene won over Aurelia's favor without looking down on her for being a country hick and low-level card apprentice. Wyatt did overhear the conversation between Aurelia and Adriene in his domain, Adriene using her connections to win over Aurelia was her strength. Besides, Aurelia did test her patience, the conversation could have gone either way.

However, Wyatt did not see enough desperation in Adriene's eyes. Not just Adriene, everyone in the crowd though scared of their situation did not show the desperation that a person about to die should have. Clearly, these kids were thinking that their parents would bail them out of this pit just like they had previously. Not just anyone can play 'Gangstar' in the Southern Capital. It was the heart of the Southern Region and home of the Royal family. These teenagers being able to run wild in the streets of the Southern Capital forming high school gangs meant that they had strong backing enough to make the city authorities look the other way.

Even though their captor trapped and controlled their body, they did not feel the desperation fitting their situation. Most of them might have already sent distress signals to their parents/guardians and were praying that they would rescue them sooner. Wyatt's guess was correct; not just almost, but all the kids present had contacted their families asking for help. Especially, Cervos, JJ, and Adriene. After all, they were responsible for their respective faction that almost made up two-thirds of the crowd assembled here. The parents/guardians of these kids knowing that this matter was related to the boy being sold as 'Hope of the Southern Region' by the royal family did not dare to take action in person but immediately got together and petitioned Anna's mother to help them rescue their children from the wrath of 'Southern Hope.' Receiving their petition, Anna's mother paused everything she was doing and immediately tried to contact the Field Marshal to gain clarity on the incident and have her protect the Southern Capital kids from Wyatt. However, the Field Marshal did not pick up her call. She called her twice and seeing both of them go unanswered she texted her but her texts were unread let alone getting a reply. Seeing the Field Marshal did not answer or reply to her calls or texts, Anna's mother began to panic as this was the first time this had happened. Not to mention, she and the Field Marshal had a good chat a few hours ago when she handed her video of Wyatt's speech to the orphanage kids. Anna's mother could not fathom what could possibly be stopping her Aunt from answering or replying to her calls or texts. Fearing the worst she activated the back plan she had prepared to protect Wyatt when Field Marshal was dealing with high-level threats like demigod Norley, other founding fathers of the central government, Gideon Grim, etc. Anna's mother had prepared this plan just in case she did not think she would have to use it so soon and to save a bunch of spoiled kids of Southern Capital from Wyatt. Anna's mother planned to first save these kids and then use this incident to tighten her reign around their parents' necks. She saw a godsend opportunity in this crisis. With Anna's mother's signal, ten teams of elite demigods appeared in the air space of the Sky Blossom City. Arriving at the air space, the ten teams of elite demigods saw a phantom fleet flagship elevating to high heights at an insane pace, *Whoosh!* They were a response squadron assembled for rescue operations of Southern Watch and not on standby just as a backup to protect Wyatt. Anna's mother had queen Colleen add Wyatt to their already long list of interests. They do not mobilize unless it's something very serious. …

"Is this thing even moving? How much longer?" Cindy whined as she lay on the ship's deck in boredom. Earlier at least she had the livestream to distract her mind but now that the livestream was stopped with the entrance of their boss. Seeing that they cut the livestream when the good stuff was about to begin Cindy grew eager to reach the edge of the void. "For that last time, I have no idea when we will reach there. This is the first time I am using the ship to go to the edge of the void," Diana snapped. With the livestream unexpectedly terminated and learning that the higher the ship climbed the slower it grew Diana's patience had worn out. It did not matter how many and what grade of soul jades she was willing to burn as fuel the ship's climbing speed would not increase. "I regret lending my cards to Aurelia," Cindy said looking at the sky, they were still very far from the edge of the void. At the current speed of Diana's phantom fleet's flagship, she believed it would be days before they reached there. "Speaking of cards, I have an insane idea. It is illogical and unorthodox but hopefully, it works," Diana said summoning a Wind elemental spirit using the card Wyatt had given to her to help her aim and guide the cannon balls of her phantom fleet to her target. Seeing Diana summon the wind elemental spirit, Cindy sat up straight on the deck in curiosity. Unfolding the sail of her phantom fleet's flagship, Diana instructed the wind elemental spirit, "Blow the wind-up wards." Novel Fire - novelfire.net

Listening to Diana's words, Cindy rolled her eyes and laid flat on deck losing interest. However, soon the phantom fleet's flagship began to climb the height at an insane speed as if jets were attached at its bottom.
