"No need to doubt my words I gain nothing from lying to you," Wyatt said noticing the change in Adriene's micro-expressions as he tried to uncover how her soul pathways were interlinked with the entity in her using his soul pupils. "Huh?" Adriene looked at Wyatt in shock wondering if he could read her mind. However, this did not stop her from clearing her doubts, "Then why is that entity considered as my Trait: Inner Goddess by the grimoire."

"That's interesting," Wyatt said continuing to focus on the entity that had retreated to its shell within Adriene's mutated ego gem. "Interesting?!" Adriene looked at Wyatt in disbelief realizing in his eyes she was no more than a lab rat which piqued his curiosity. She knew right that Wyatt was no different from the people who tried to destroy her family just to get their hands on her and study her unique physique. She feared and hated Wyatt at the same time.

"Um, you are lucky. At my current level, I cannot capture the entity in your body— I could try to extract your soul since it is attached to it but if something goes wrong in the process then I will only be freeing your soul and it to return to the reincarnation cycle. So, until I find a more stable means to extract your soul or grow strong enough, I will have to keep you alive to keep the entity imprisoned," Wyatt informed distressed Adriene who felt like a dissected monster in the monster biology class. With his recent study on soul and soul cultivation, extracting a card apprentice's soul was not a problem for Wyatt however in Adriene's case it would be different as he would have to fight the entity attached to her soul while doing so. Because of this many things could go wrong and Wyatt might end up killing Adriene before capturing the entity attached to her soul. Therefore, Wyatt did not try to extract Adriene's soul no matter how confident he was. Listening to Wyatt's explanation as to why he planned to keep her alive, Adriene suddenly had an epiphany on how to save her sisters and fellow card apprentice from the Southern Capital city from the mad scientist before her, "I see. Well, then I will kill myself just to spite you." "I doubt it," Wyatt replied believing Adriene did not have what it takes to unlife herself. Not to mention Adriene was still under the influence of his domain effect since her so-called inner goddess had abandoned her. "If what you said about the entity is true, I am sure it will be happy to help me commit suicide," Adriene responded with a grin looking at Wyatt's facial cues and seeing she was not taking her seriously she threatened, "Don't you think that I will not go through with it, I will. I refer to die on my terms then be killed as a lab rat." "I believe you, so what do you want?" Wyatt asked no longer taking Adriene's threat lightly. "I want you to let my faction members and the other card apprentices from the Southern Capital go," Adriene demanded of Wyatt. Adriene was willing to wager her life to save the lives of her sisters and others who were basically strangers or even enemies to her because Wyatt had made it clear he did not plan to kill her right away during this time knowing she was under the protection of the Southern Ruler, the Southern Royal family would do everything in their power and find a way to free her from this mad man's grasps. "That is it? Sure, done," Wyatt readily agreed to Adriene's demand without even trying to bargain with her. This was not how he usually negotiated. That was because he only agreed to appease Adriene till he got her into an SSS-rank soul-trapping array. Once inside it, even if Adriene kills herself her departed soul will be captured by the array formation before it can enter the cycle of reincarnation. Listening to Wyatt readily agree to her demands immediately without trying to negotiate with her, Adriene felt she was getting the short end of the deal. She even wondered if she should have asked more and just when she was about to do so a thought crossed her mind that, 'The reason Wyatt was so readily agreeing to her demands because he did not plan to keep them.' Thinking of this, Adriene immediately demanded of Wyatt, "Okay then, take an oath in the presence of the world that you will let my sisters and the others go as long as I do not kill myself in your custody." "Now we have a problem," Wyatt replied with a frown, to which Adriene exclaimed, "Aha! You did not plan to keep your end of the bargain. Wyatt take the oat or watch me kill myself and free the entity."

"Bravo, you figured it out. As a reward, you get to see your sisters die the most gruesome death your wildest dreams can fathom. If it is too much for you feel free to commit suicide knowing that you brought this cruel fate on them," Wyatt responded to Adriene's threat with a threat, that he planned to kill her sisters in the most gruesome way because of the stunt she just pulled. "You wouldn't," Adriene felt like Wyatt pulled the rug from under her. However, a part of her wanted to believe that the person who was able to give such a beautiful speech at the orphanage would not be capable of something like that. However, there was too much evidence stacked up against pointing out he was a madman capable of anything that even her imagination could not fathom. "Why not?" Wyatt asked Adriene with his face contorting into a twisted face with fiendish eyes and the most menacing grin she had seen
