Wyatt was not surprised to see that Field Marshal Heatsend proposed that they follow the proper protocol. But he found her att.i.tude toward Handsome Fox frustrating. She did not seem to consider Hansome Fox a threat that required her to personally solve. Similarly, if not for the sudden visit of demiG.o.d Norley, she would not have personally stepped in to guard him. Just like in the Southern Capital, she was stationed to guard the dual gate dungeon and not him.
It"s not like Wyatt blamed Field Marshal Heatsend for prioritizing the dual gate dungeon"s safety over his. he understood her logic, Wyatt had the protection of the timeless array formation covering the Southern Royal Palace grounds meanwhile the dual gate dungeon was defenseless.
If not for Wyatt choosing to walk into the trap laid by the Central government and Morningstar University, with the protection of timeless array covering the Southern Royal Palace grounds his safety was guaranteed. If one were to look at it this way, it was Wyatt who owed the Southern Royal family an explanation. However, he had already informed them of his actions and warned them to make enough preparations. In that incident, neither party could point figures at each other.
However, now Wyatt believed that Field Marshal Heatsend was making a mistake by not considering a threat high enough for her and instead planning to mobilize the relevant department. Field Marshal Heatsend was not wrong here, as a leader she could not shoulder everything she should learn to rely on her subordinates and trust them to come through.
As someone who knew how much of a threat Handsome Fox could be to him and the Southern Region, it was Wyatt"s duty to provide Field Marshal Heatsend the facts and help her come to a correct decision. Here, Wyatt could not continue to expect Field Marshal Heatsend to just trust his words and get on board with his whims because as someone who held the t.i.tle of being one of the top ten strongest in the world and the rank of Field Marshal, she held many responsibilities. Not to mention she had to set an example to all by following and trusting the due process. Otherwise, everybody will start taking matters into their own hands. Vigilantism was good in stories but in reality, it was not good for society. If the people felt the need for vigilantism, then it was a sign that the current society and leadership were lacking.
"Kid, there are proper procedures to address matters like this. If the personnel feel that I need to take action then I will do so. So don"t worry," Field Marshal Heatsend was not angered by Wyatt"s words rather she saw it as ignorance and impatience of his young age. She was one of the few who felt that people saw him as an overachieving teenager with great potential rather than the hope of the South. She thought people were burdening him with their expectations of him.
"Your Highness, I am worried that following the due process will alert the enemy," Wyatt spoke his mind hoping to persuade Field Marshal Heatsend. He spoke to the clouds having already given up on trying to find Field Marshal Heatsend.
"Wyatt, you know the meaning of the words you just spoke, right? It means you are suggesting that the authorities from the Royal palace cannot be trusted. Are you aware of the gravity of such words especially to me," Field Marshal Heatsend"s elegant and warm voice turned indifferent, she could tolerate Wyatt"s rudeness and lack of proper manners but not this.
"Yes, Your Highness I do," Wyatt said with a serious voice. Just from the voice of the Field Marshal, he felt his gooseb.u.mps stand erect. The indifference in her voice was unsettling. Wyatt wondered if he should gone through Ann or Colleen instead of directly approaching Field Marshal Heatsend.
"Then you better have a valid reason for your claims or else you are in huge trouble," Field Marshal Heatsend said having decided to stop giving Wyatt special treatment. Since Wyatt was the hope of the South it was her duty that this hope grew up straight and not crooked.
"Your Highness, since you heard of Handsome Fox I am guessing you might have also heard of his ability," Wyatt pointed out Handsome Fox"s ability.
"I did, DemiG.o.d Leo has checked the soul pathways of the demiG.o.d stationed here during the Southern Capital incident and found the roots in them. Confirming your a.s.sumptions about his abilities. From so far from what we know it has been cla.s.sified as a fearful ability since it could even brainwash a demiG.o.d without them having any idea about it. Are you perhaps claiming that there are victims of Handsome Fox"s ability within the Royal palace authorities?" Field Marshal Heatsend frowned her brows.
Field Marshal Heatsend"s husband"s junior brother had warned the royal family about Handsome Fox claiming that he could be another Matron-like existence. However, when they tried to cross-check their findings with Clown Mask, they found that she did not know of Handsome Fox. It was as if Handsome Fox did not exist in the alternate future vision of the Clown Mask.
This was astonishing for the royal family since most of the things that Clown Mask had proposed had sooner or later come true. Hence their trust in her future vision was strong, but the fact that Handsome Fox went unnoticed made them undermine him leaving the Southern Royal family undecided on the threat leave of Handsome Fox.
Now that Wyatt was calming the same thing, Field Marshal Heatsend had to make a decision on the spot because if Wyatt was right then following the due process would only be counterproductive and she might lose the chance to permanently solve a high profile threat like Handsome Fox. Making a quick decision, she said, "Your concerns are valid but to convince me you will have to do one more thing."
