"...prove that you are indeed blind." 

As Susan said this, Wyatt noticed a resolve hidden behind her fear. It appeared she was prepared to die rather than be captured. Sensing this Wyatt's heart ached. 

"You heard her mister, remove your shades," Corey stressed, the tensions in the office room were already high, and her blatant use of her intimidating aura was just adding to it. 

"Corey, calm down. We can talk this out," Diana began to blame herself for not throwing Corey out of her office when she had the chance. Now the only person who could control her, Susan, was fueling her crazy antics. 

Looking at Susan who was taking cover behind Corey, Wyatt promised, "I promise you everything is going to be okay, soon." Then his physical body turned into dust even before Baem could react.

Under the vigilant gaze of Baem, Wyatt could not use his Myraid Devil Transformation physique to morph his eyes into that of a blind person nor use soul pupils to complete his real motive for coming here in disguise. He could use force to achieve his goal but he knew he would have to risk Susan getting in harm's way. He did not want to do that when there were other ways to approach this. So, for now, he decided to back off. 

This concluded that the plan to check Susan's soul pathway signature for minute signs of hidden hypnotic suggestions was a failure. All thanks to Stubborn Corey and Ignorant Diana. However, Wyatt did not blame either of them. Especially Corey, as he knew if not for her he might have to make funeral arrangements for Susan along with Cortney and Bloodette, right now. She protected Susan when he was not there.

"...everything is going to be okay, soon." hearing these words from the supposedly blind middle-aged employee Susan for reasons unknown to her felt assured but then seeing him incinerate into a pile of ash that feeling flitted away and her knees turned weak thinking of the worst. Especially, if Diana had not stopped her from sending Corey out of the office.

"Damn it, he committed suicide. One of these days I find out who these bastards are, raid their base, and go on a killing spree," Corey vowed. Soon the depressed little snake caught her eye, she petted Baem and consoled her, "It is not your fault, you did great. If you had not spotted him using soul energy who knows what would have happened." 

Being praised by Corey, Baem instantly cheered up and nestled in her palm making herself comfortable. Corey then turned to Diana and said, "You need to tighten your security. Don't blame me if I complain about this incident to Wyatt." 

"Corey, you will do no such thing," Susan suddenly snapped at Corey. Corey did not know what she did wrong now but helplessly said, "Fine. Wyatt's little company can burn for all I care." 

"Thank you, Susan," Diana thanked Susan for stopping Corey from reporting them to Wyatt but she was in for another shock as Susan sternly said, "Miss Diana, please do not misunderstand my intentions. I don't want to disturb Wyatt with these little things. Wyatt only knows what he is going through to survive in the Southern Capital all alone, after revealing his revolutionary inventions to the world. I do not want to add to his worries. That doesn't mean you are off the hook for this incident. Please, see to it that this doesn't happen again."

Nobody could understand Diana's internal struggle right now. After all, an Intern warning the acting CEO did not happen every day. 

Diana could not fathom how a simple task could go so horribly wrong. She believed with this Wyatt might have lost confidence in her and would never be able to trust her with any task. Why did Diana care so much about Wyatt's opinion of her? 

Regardless of his age and background, Wyatt was someone who had shaken the world on three different occasions, Silver Milk Powder, Soul Energy Digestion, and VR-Universes. She had bet her entire life on him, and now when finally all of it was coming to fruition, this happened. She blamed Corey for all her misfortune. 

Yet swallowing her anger and grievances Diana looked Corey in her eyes and sincerely apologized, "Please forgive me, I will take full responsibility for this incident and I promise you both this will not happen again." 

Though Diana had chosen to bow to Wyatt she was still the same old Diana, the competitors of Fine Gold who dared to underestimate her had paid a heavy price to comprehend this little thing. 

Yet, someone of that level of arrogance and pride chose to take a step back and apologize to Corey even though she was not at fault because after leaving Wyatt sent her a text giving her one final task, which was to learn what had transpired for Susan and Corey to be on edge around strangers while he was on grimoire call with her, listening in on their conversation helping her ask the right questions. So, Diana's role in all this was basically to act as Wyatt's intelligent mouthpiece. 

Diana saw this task as an opportunity to redeem herself in Wyatt's eyes. Therefore she did not hesitate to take a step back and fed Corey's bloated ego by apologizing to her, knowing Susan was tight-lipped and would not reveal anything to her fearing that she would report it to Wyatt depending upon the gravity of the incident. 

"If you don't mind me asking, you said Wyatt's enemies are targeting you guys to get him, since when did this all start? How many times have they tried this?" Diana as Wyatt instructed her to.

"It all started this morning when we were in a D-rank field dungeon, testing the new armor cards I made for Big Sis," Corey revealed, Susan had no notion of stopping her, it seemed she did not plan on hiding it.
