"No, I am lucky because I got to see the most beautiful creation to ever set foot in this world," This line might be cheesy and cringe but that was what kept the demigods surrounding me from perceiving my thoughts.

The first thing I learned about the demigods was that, when called by their name, they could perceive who called them no matter where the person was in the world as long as they were not separated by planes. I would be a fool to think that such perceptive beings would not be able to perceive my thoughts when they were right by my side. Take the card demigod who compared my eyes with mama Wyatt's eyes for example. I managed to mask my real thoughts by having Hive AI recreate the sorrow that young Wyatt went through when he learned about the demise of his parents using his memories. So despite my desperate attempt to escape, the card demigod perceived I was using humor to mask my sadness.

I was only able to do this because of my mutated soul's multiple consciousnesses covered using the dungeon calamity seed cover. Despite that, it was not hundred percent certain that the demigods would buy what I was selling. To increase the odds in my favor I had to use what I learned in sales 101 which was basically the basics of conning. Therefore, I did not mask thoughts using lies that were believable but the lies that demigods would believe in.

In the case of the demigod who seemed to care about mama Wyatt, I used young Wyatt's sorrow and longing for his mother. And in the case of Anna's grandmother, I acted like a pervert because no grandparent would believe any man would be good enough for their granddaughter. And also because I wanted her to be repulsed by the idea of being together with Anna. I was this daring because I knew due to the oath between me and Anna, the southern royal family would tolerate and protect me at all costs.

Why go through all this trouble to fake my thoughts when the dungeon calamity seed cover made it difficult for them to perceive them? The reason was simple, it was in my best interest that these people underestimated me. The more they underestimated me the easier for me to get away with things or even escape when the time was right. Though it was highly unlikely, at least I am doing everything in my power.

My plan was already showing results, and thanks to it I learned that all five of them were not one group, they seemed to be divided into two groups. Anna's grandmother and the demigod that spoke up to cut my limbs and poke my eyes out formed one group. While the remaining two demigods along with a semi-demigod were another group. I came to this conclusion because they sided with the demigod who seemed to know mama Wyatt since the start.

I also learned that not everyone knew about Anna's oath to me, because the demigod who addressed Anna's mother respectfully would not have made claims to hurt me, had he known the oath between Anna and me. All the allies of the southern royal family not knowing about the oath between me and Anna had its advantages and disadvantages. A disadvantage was already demonstrated by the demigod who was in Anna's grandmother's group. As for the advantages, I will not be hunted by enemies of the southern royal family only to make Anna the target of the world's will's punishment for not being able to hold her end of the oath.

All these discoveries were of little use to me, what I really wanted to know was the identity of the second group and why were they here. Their arrival was starting to remind me Jill's warning, therefore while faking my thoughts for the demigods to perceive I ordered old Ben to speed up the plan and leave the city as soon as possible. Then I contacted Van and ordered him to collect a few cores from old Ben, find Susan, and head to the central academic region immediately. The idea was simple, I wanted them out of the city and as far from here as possible. Since the arrival of these five people, I felt that something was not right, the southern royal family seemed to have dropped the ball somewhere down the line. The presence of a second group that was not allied to the southern royal family down here was a sign that I was right to think so.

"You asshole, what nonsense are you spotting?" A familiar voice yelled from above us. It was Anna accompanied by Ann.

"Fuck, what took you so long? Ask her to let go of me. I would love to spend eternity in her company but I am starting to feel claustrophobic," The mysterious force that stopped me from flying away was still binding me and also tightened with the passing second, I really wasn't lying about feeling claustrophobic.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" Anna asked furiously, arriving next to me.

"I worry that I will not be able to enjoy her beauty if I pass out," I ignored Anna and continued my act.

Before Anna could erupt in rage again, Colleen looked at her granddaughter a little disappointed, and asked her, "And you gave this clown the ring I passed on to you? Are the daughters of my family destined to marry unworthy men?"

Listening to Colleen, General Baylor, Agent Lois, Agent Uri, and demigod Backster finally reacted to the ring on the boy's finger. Wasn't this the heirloom of the Hentsend Royal family? It was not a surprise that Colleen would pass it to Anna considering that she is the sole direct heir of the southern royal family. What surprised them was what this ring represents and what it signifies being worn by the boy. They could not help but take a second look at the boy and then at Anna and found that the words in the dictionary weren't enough to describe their rampant thoughts.
