Climbing on Dragonoid JJ's big lizard head, Wyatt ignored JJ's threatening gaze and sat between his scaly eyebrows while resting his legs on his long nose. Getting comfortable he glanced at the scattered crowd, without paying heed to JJ.

Wyatt was interested in learning what it was that JJ was trying so hard to hide from him but understanding that his prestige and terror in JJ's heart and mind was not enough for JJ to spill the beans to him, Wyatt decided to give it a little more time.

Looking at the scattered crowd of teenagers that were kneeling to him, Wyatt uninterestedly uttered, "Assemble!"

With Wyatt's command, the crowd that was scattered across the domain along with Cervos got up and began to move to gather in front of Wyatt in a perfect order.

Even Adriene found herself moving toward Wyatt. Once again with the help of her inner goddess Adriene broke free of Wayatt's domain's effect. Regaining control of her body, Adriene struggled in her mind wondering what to do next:

Should she challenge Wyatt?

Or

Should she try to escape?

Or

Should she try to negotiate with Wyatt?

Or

Should she just assemble before Wyatt, following the rest of the crowd?

Adriene knew that challenging Wyatt could be the same as courting death seeing how he subdued and humiliated Dragonoid JJ and Corpse Possession Cervos. So the first thought in her mind to challenge Wyatt was a no-go. Yes, she did come here with the intention to defeat Wyatt to prove herself to the Southern Ruler and tell him that his investment in her was worth it. However, she was not in the habit of fighting losing battles.

As for escaping, Adriene had tried every means in her arsenal including begging her inner goddess for help but she still could not budge Wyatt's blood rule domain let alone escape it. Not to mention, Adriene's entire faction was stuck in Wyatt's blood rule domain. Adriene could never leave her sisters behind to save her skin, even if it's just one of them. She was many things but not a coward and traitor. Therefore, Adriene did not even entertain the thought of escaping by herself.

As for negotiation, she discarded it as soon as that thought came to her mind because in order to negotiate both the parties involved need to be equal or have what the other wanted. It was already clear that Adriene was not an equal to Wyatt in terms of strength and considering that Wyatt owned VR-Universe he was richer than her meaning there was nothing she could offer him. So, it would be safe to assume that Adriene was neither an equal nor had anything that Wyatt needed to try and negotiate with him.

Lastly, Adriene thought of willingly following Wyatt's command and assembling in front of him with the rest of the crowd but that would mean that she has submitted to Wyatt. With her sisters trusting their lives to her, Adriene submitting to Wyatt would be shameful not just to her but her sisters. Not to mention with the weight of her sisters' lives on her shoulder Adriene could not just unconditionally surrender to Wyatt.

Just as Adriene was lost in her thoughts not knowing what to do next and how to save her sisters from Wyatt, she heard a familiar voice calling out to her, "Hey, goldfish girl. Our boss doesn't like repeating himself. So, hurry and assemble before him with your sisters."

Adriene turned to find that the voice advising her belonged to the country tomboy girl. Being addressed as goldfish by her, Adriene frowned her brows and introduced herself, "I am Adriene Ari, you are?"

"I am Aurelia Malvin, that is Jaya Keith, and she is Corey Bright," Aurelia introduced herself and the other two to Adriene.

"Aurelia Malvin? Are you related to the Malvin family from the Border City?" Adriene instantly asked.

"Yes, is there a problem?" The Malvin family was famous in the Southern Capital as they were an example for every family to never outshine the Southern Royal family.

The Malvin Family which was supposed to flourish in the Southern Capital based on its military merits was now rotting at the border of the Southern region and Empire. They were so poor that their descendants could not afford proper cards. Aurelia was the perfect example of that. The Malvin family had their pride and honor but for the vain families from the Southern Capital that meant nothing before riches and authority.

"No, I don't. As a matter of fact, my aunt served with the current City lord of the Border City and moved there following her," Adriene hurriedly explained as she did not want any misunderstanding considering the current circumstances.

"Wait, Ariā€¦ by chance is your aunt, Rainbow aka Bow Ari?" Aurelia asked Adriene in surprise.

"Yes, that's my Auntie Bow. So, how do you know her?" Adriene exclaimed and asked Aurelia how she knew her aunt.

"She used to babysit me and my brother when we visited my mother at the city hall. She is a smart lady. How can she have a stupid niece like you?" Aurelia answered and did not forget to take revenge on Adriene for calling her stupid.

"Stupid?" Adriene was patient with Aurelia and her rudeness but being called stupid to her face now Aurelia was crossing the line.

"Yes, stupid. You brought a few teenagers to challenge our boss who kills devils left and right, what are you if not stupid?" Aurelia was not afraid of Adriene with her boss's domain covering her; she was sure her boss would save her in case something unexpected happened.

"I will give you that one. I was indeed stupid to think I could take on the guy who killed a devil that supposedly killed two squads of elite demigods," Adriene found it hard to refute Aurelia so she ended up agreeing with her.

"I like you," Adriene boldly said and then looking at the crowd that had almost gathered before Wyatt she offered to Adriene, "If you are embarrassed then follow me. That is the best course of action that you can take to save yourself and your sisters."

"Don't mind if I do," saying that Adriene did not hesitate to join Aurelia and the girls as they headed to Wyatt's side. This option was way better than her willingly joining the crowd that assembled before Wyatt.

Arriving at Wyatt's side Adriene was surprised by what she witnessed. The source of Adriene's shock was not the crowd of teenagers that had neatly assembled before Waytt but a single figure among them, he stood right in front, it was Armine.

That very Armine who was known for his incredible stealth ability that even demigods could not see through. Armine's stealth ability was so broken that the majority of teenagers from the Southern Capital agreed to not include him in the city's official ranking. All three, Adriene, JJ, and Cervos, had hinted that if Armine wanted to hide and escape from them then there was nothing they could do about it. They also believed if not for his weak attack power he could not have had a problem assassinating them.

Therefore, finding Armine assembled before Wyatt along with the rest of the crowd, Adriene was shocked. Feeling a gaze on him, Armine instinctively turned to find Adriene looking at him. Armine nodded at her with a helpless smile and once again focused his gaze on Wyatt.

Sitting atop Dragonoid JJ's face Wyatt uninterestedly glanced over the crowd that had assembled before him. However, JJ's face was dignified. This was the most embarrassing moment of his life. He wanted to dig a hole and bury his head in it to escape the shame.

How could JJ not be ashamed? Not only was he lying on all fours but Wyatt was using him as a chair in front of all his trusted subordinates. Most of the people assembled before Wyatt were JJ's trusted henchmen who promised their undying loyalty to him. These people trusted their lives to him, they were willing to follow him to hell. As their leader, JJ was ashamed to show such a shameful sight to them.

JJ's embarrassment only grew because the other half of the crowd assembled before Wyatt were his enemies or competitors. Showing such a shameful sight to his subordinates was already painful but showing it in front of their enemies and competitors was like rubbing salt to his wounds.

JJ wanted to roar, expressing the grievance in his heart but fearing that Wyatt would mute him once again, he did not even dare to do that and swallowed all his emotions and buried them deep in his heart. Unknowingly, the arrogant JJ began to act considering Wyatt's reaction without him realizing it.

Looking at JJ who was lying on all fours with Wyatt sitting on him, Cervos's grievance was relieved a little bit taking pleasure in his opponent's misery. Right now, he would not want to be JJ. He even felt a little pity for JJ wondering if he would ever be able to recover from this.
