"But Dredre, I was just speaking up for you. You shouldn't let him off so easily," Corey insisted, trying to convince Dredre but failing miserably.

"Corey, Wyatt has done more for me than any client has ever done for their pixie library guide. If not for him, I wouldn't have this forest, nor would I have been able to create Ceed. So, I am nothing but grateful to him," Dredre defended Wyatt, expressing her grat.i.tude. Despite being here to serve him, Wyatt had never treated her like a servant. Instead, he catered to all her whims, showering her with expensive gifts and favors. Though, it was another matter that if she didn't consider him her best friend, she might not have accepted them.

"If you're fine with it, then I'm fine with it," Corey conceded, feeling disappointed that things didn't go her way. However, sensing Wyatt's intimidating glare, she forced a polite smile. She froze upon receiving his mental transmission: 'First Susan, and now Dredre. Can't you be normal for once? Or do you just enjoy the thrill of trying to steal food from my mouth? Don't ever leave the Seed s.p.a.ce. If I catch you outside, I'll make good on my promise to give you the whooping of a lifetime!

Wyatt made sure Corey understood he was sparing her only for Dredre's sake. Since he was the reason the celebration had ended abruptly, he didn't want to upset. Dredre further by letting her see two of her friends fighting over her. Ignoring Corey, he addressed the rest, "Guys, I know the moment has pa.s.sed, and it's too late to restart the celebration. But I know something that will lift the mood. Hang tight, we're going to visit my elder sister."

"Elder sister? Wyatt, aren't you an only child?" Susan asked in surprise. She had met Wyatt's uncle, uncle's family, maternal aunt, and so-called relatives from the Central Capital, but this was the first time she was hearing him mention an elder sister. If Wyatt did have a blood-related elder sister, Susan felt she needed to get on her good side and earn points to secure her approval of her relationship with Wyatt.

"Wyatt's elder sister?" Everyone else was equally puzzled, as they all knew Wyatt was the only child of his parents.

"I just found out recently. I'm rolling with it since that's easier," Wyatt said, brushing off the details, while the Field Marshal, who knew part of the truth, shook her head in dismay.

"That's great! Now we have a valid reason to continue our celebration. What do you

say, Dredre?" Cortney chimed in, seeking Dredre's opinion. Dredre nodded vigorously, adding, "Yes, let's go meet Wyatt's elder sister."

Meanwhile, Clown Mask turned to Wyatt and asked, "Boss, does that mean you're Cortney's uncle?"

"Master, don't tell me you're Wyatt's elder sister?" Cortney asked her mother in shock and utter disbelief. The others were equally stunned, except for the Field Marshal, who was confused as to why Clown Mask would say that. Wasn't she the one who killed his parents in the first place? Was there a hidden reason why Wyatt forgave her?

"Cortney, I get your point. But can't you just start calling me mother already?" Clown Mask argued, looking at the rest who were waiting for an answer. She added, "Everyone relax, I was just kidding around to get my daughter to stop ignoring me and actually talk to me."

Cortney simply rolled her eyes at Clown Mask, continuing her silent treatment, while Bloodette had mixed feelings about the whole situation.

"Woah, for a minute there, you had us all. Good one," Park said with a chuckle, easing everyone's mood.

"Alright, you guys hang tight. I'm going to move the Seed World out of the dungeon seal and to my sister's home. I'll be back in a jiffy," Wyatt said before exiting the Seed World without waiting for anyone to ask about his elder sister's home. After all, he didn't want to spoil the surprise.

"Wait a minute, doesn't the Seed World now belong to Ceed? How can Wyatt move it. to his sister's house on a whim?" Corey suddenly pointed out, feeling something didn't add up.

"I have given the authority to Master Wyatt to do so," Ceed clarified, only to have Corey ask, "Why do you call him 'Master"?"

"Master Wyatt is my creator's boss, so he is my Master," Ceed explained, prompting Corey to reply in scepticism, "That's a messed-up logic, but I guess it makes sense."

"Corey, what's with you? Why are you targeting Wyatt again? I thought you had moved on," Susan asked, puzzled by Corey's renewed obsession with Wyatt. It seemed to have flared up recently.

"Let me tell you why. Unable to keep up with him, she's taking out her frustration like this," Park explained. Corey's problem with Wyatt was that she had started to develop an inferiority complex toward him after repeatedly failing to catch up, let alone surpa.s.s him. The change in Wyatt's prowess was too huge, though he hide it well, Corey who knew his previous self could feel the difference.

"Corey, the race is only over when you give up. Don't let your desperation lead you astray. I'm sure, sooner or later, you'll not only catch up with Wyatt but become someone he will lookup to. I believe in you," Susan encouraged Corey, urging her not to let her compet.i.tive spirit cloud her judgment.

However, Susan didn't forget to warn Corey about her behavior: "Also, your actions are fine as long as they're harmless and meant in fun, but they can easily cause misunderstandings. So, clarify things with Wyatt when you get the opportunity. He's been very tolerant with you for some reason. It's almost as if he has a soft spot for you. So, I'm sure if you're upfront with Wyatt, he will forgive you."
