The Field Marshal sternly reminded Henricks his current ident.i.ty was that of a prisoner, he did not. have the right to demand any form of compensation for any work he did for them let alone seek a handsome compensation.

"No need to refresh my memories, my mother, I remember it clearly. Tell me, how can I be of service to you?" Hernicks hurriedly adjusted to his prisoner ident.i.ty with the Field marshal's warning. However, his rebellious side was still there. Making it clear that he would not hesitate to escape the first chance he got to do so.

Henricks was not one to give up easily. He would bow his head if the situation called for it, patiently bidding his time to make his move. When he finally made his move his enemies would not even realize what had transpired. His ident.i.ty as the Central Region's Ex-Field Marshal was a prime example of this.

The Field Marshal was fully aware of Henricks nature so she and her incarnation together increased the power of the pseudo celestial s.p.a.ce rule domain covering the city. Making sure Henricks could escape using his origin card.

However, she feared her preparations were far from enough to stop Henricks. After all, except for him none knew the extent of his origin card's prowess. She had a feeling that maybe Henricks was her prisoner because he led her to believe that. Maybe he had his own plans. If not for her young liege's plan to use him, she would felt more a.s.sured leaving him in her mystic dimension.

"Before we begin, have you given a thought to my proposal? Give me an answer" Wyatt stepped forward and asked Henricks if the latter had given any consideration to the Freedom Fighter's working for him.

Wyatt's blunt question caused the expression on Henricks's face to freeze in fear. He did not want the Freedom Fighters to join Wyatt. He strongly believed the Freedom Fighters were reduced to mere criminals as the central region had labeled them if they followed Wyatt's proposal, making the sacrifice of the countless freedom fighters so far meaningless. Hence, he planned to reject. Wyatt regardless of the various promises made when proposing to recruit his organization. However, he did not dare to speak his mind and refuse Wyatt out right having seen Wyatt's prowess up close in the Field Marshal's mystic dimension when burned more than two dozen demiG.o.d undead golems to ash. Knowing Wyatt had coordinates of their main headquarters in Yellow Plains, was capable of inter-realm transportation, and had a powerful card demiG.o.d like Field Marshal Heatsend following him, he did not dare to get on Wyatt's bad side.

This also did not mean he would just dance to Wyatt's tune. He tried to think of words to politely decline Wyatt without triggering his wrath or hurting his ego but he found that he was without words, "...." This lead to a long awkward silence, adding to Henricks's distress and panic.

Learning that Southern Princess has been targeting him since the beginning and he failed to see it coming, Wyatt felt a strong sense of urgency to build his own force as soon as possible as he had no idea of what all she had in store for him.

As a result, the Southern Region which he deemed as the safest place in the Card world for his loved ones, a few minutes ago, no longer felt safe right now. It felt more like a trap meticulously designed by the Southern Princes to distance those close to him and make him all alone in the world without

him realizing it. This way the Southern Royal family could become his emotional support stick when he needed one.

Hence, he demanded Henricks to give him an answer right away. However, reading Henricks's face, his answer to his proposal and fear toward him were clear to Wyatt. It did not take him long to realize that he was being led by his fear of losing his loved ones instead of being rational.

As a result, seeing his hasty and brazen demand, Henricks who previously planned to give his proposal a fair consideration by proposing it to his colleagues and seeking their opinion on it now had unilaterally decided to reject the proposal out right. Closing all doors on Freedom Fighter on ever joining him.

Learning that being led by his fears would only prove disastrous for him, he forced himself to calm down and think logically rather than play right into the Southern Princess's hand. Therefore, he thought of a way to salvage the situation. He carefully crafted his words to let Henricks out of the spot and not close his mind to the idea of working for him, "It seems you haven't made up your mind yet. No worries, take your time. I am sure you will soon realize, it would help the Freedom Fighter's cause and interest to side with me"

"I don't know how me being your prisoner would help the Freedom Fighter's cause and interest," seeing Wyatt take a step back, Henricks who feared to speak earlier now took two steps forward causing the Field Marshal to rise her brow warning her old colleague to behave in front of her young liege.

"Don't worry, after you do one small thing for me you are free to go. But remember, the next time you try to steal what's mine, it will not end with a warning; it will end with your life. I dare you to try me again!" Wyatt warned staring directly into Henricks's eyes as if he could see right through him. The sheer intensity of Wyatt's words sent a shiver down Henricks's spine recalling he wasn't innocent in all this. He was imprisoned because he dared to kidnap clown mask right in front of Wyatt and Field Marshal without caring to check if it was a trap or not. What bothered him most was he would have gotten away with it if not for the Field Marshal's pseudo-celestial s.p.a.ce rule domain. Yet, he shamelessly pasted a flattering smile on his face as he spoke, 'There is no point in digging up the past. Let us move on. Please, tell me what can I do for you."
