"Let go of him, Wyatt ordered the Field Marshal, releasing Henricks from her grasp and the pseudo-celestial space rule domain.

Her grip around his neck was so strong that Henricks looked like his head was about to pop out if she were to apply a little more force. Fortunately for Henricks, Wyatt stepped in to stop the Field Marshal in time. However, he deliberately waited until the last minute to intervene. After all, be would never be generous to some who dare to steal from him not one but twice.

"Don't mistaken my patience for helplessness, the Field Marshal sternly reminded Henricks as she released her grip on his neck. With that, the latter's red and swollen face instantly returned to normal. Rubbing his neck, Henricks shot a subtle look at the Field Marshal before reminding her, "Now, your celestial rule domain too. So, we can be done with this, and I can be on my way."

The Field Marshal ignored Henricks and looked at her young liege, attempting to persuade him one last time. She truly disliked the idea of trusting an old coyote like Henricks. He was someone who had used her gratitude to backstab her. She, who valued her honor more than her life, was ashamed to have known and served with someone like him. If not for the sake of her young liege, she would not be part of this conversation.

"Trust me," Wyatt uttered, locking eyes with her. Looking into her young liege's deep eyes, the Field Marshal realized, 'Right, though she could not trust Henricks, she had full faith in her young liege and his judgment: With that, she released Henricks from her pseudo-celestial space rule domain. Coming out of the celestial rule domain's influence, Henricks felt like a fish in the ocean as his origin card was finally able to connect with the surrounding space. Feeling this unique connection between his origin card and the space, he felt like he had recovered a lost limb. In his relief of being back in his element and at his peak, he began to appreciate his origin card more and promised to never be reckless with its abilities again.

"Henricks, have you thought of a realm fitting my requirements?" Wyatt asked, waking Henricks from his reunion with space and bringing him back to the cruel reality. Even though the shackles on him were removed, he couldn't help but feel like a prisoner. Therefore, with the plan to complete his end of the bargain soon and leave before Wyatt changed his mind, Henricks replied, "Yes, though it doesn't have a name of its own, I called it the 'Lil Red Storm' realm. Since the small realm is covered in red soil and catastrophic storms along with huge meteor strikes are common occurrence in it! "Great, let's get going" Wyatt nodded.

Ile looked forward to visiting the 'Lil Red Strom' realm that Henricks recommended to him. He felt that this planet might be more than just a field for him to gauge his strength and he made the right choice choosing Henricks over devil merchant code. Had he gone the other way he would have had to pay a hefty offering to the Devil merchant code to recommend and transport him to such a realm. Not to mention, the realm recommended by the devil merchant code would not hold any surprises for him to explore, as the demon/devil merchant who found it would have already mined the entire planet, harvesting all of its resources before selling its coordinates to the devil merchant code. Fortunately for him, an inter-realm taxi had found him out of its own violation. Additionally, his taxi seemed to have no idea of the wealth he could amass utilizing his origin card. Well, more for him.

"Okay, Please, don't resist my intent sense. If I don't cover you guys properly with it, you might get lost mid-teleportation, Henricks cautioned as he prepared to use his origin card to take his imprisoners to the 'Lil Red Strom' realm in exchange for his freedom.

However, just then, he felt a intimidating aura envelop him and pressure him to kneel in submission, sending a chill down his spine. Soon, he heard the Field Marshal shout, "How dare you lie? I know for a fact that you are capable of creating space tunnels to teleport multiple people!" Then, turning to face the young man next to her, she informed her young liege, 'See, Wyatt, I told you we cannot trust him."'

Wyatt frowned as he stared hard at Henricks, giving him one last chance to come clean. "Explain yourself, he demanded.

"As I warned you before, the 'Lil Red Strom' realm's atmosphere is harsh. Because of that, its space is always turbulent. It is impossible for me to create a space tunnel connecting our realm's space to its space. So, I have no choice but to lead you there, holding your hands!" Henricks defended himself, citing the harsh atmosphere and turbulent space of the 'Lil Red Strom' realm.

However, the Field Marshal wasn't buying it. She cross-examined him, "Then, explain to me how you were able to teleport in and out of a realm with turbulent space? In such conditions, teleportation, if not impossible, is very risky. Let us assume your origin card is special. Unless you plan to leave us stranded in a realm with turbulent space, what other reason could you possibly have to suggest such a dangerous realm to us?"

"I suggested that realm because that's the only realm I know of that fits Wyatt's requirements. There is no other meaning to this. Besides, so what if the space is turbulent. Wyatt is well versed in array formation. He would casily be able to think of a formation to stablize the surrounding space long enough for him to leave that realm. So, I really did not have any other intention when recommending that realm to Wyatt. Trust me, my intentions are pure, Henricks hurriedly explained himself to Wyatt hearing the Field Marshal blame him of planning crimes he did not even think of.
