"You never planned on killing us," Adriene exclaimed having figured out Wyatt's gplan. Now that Adriene had figured out the conspiracy she had moved on to figuring out what Wyatt was up to. Adriene could not help but take a moment to appreciate Wyatt, the more she got to know his strength and genius the more she felt that he was truly the 'Hope of the Southern Region.' She could not imagine herself in Wyatt's shoes. If a crowd cfor her head to gain quick fame, she believed if she were strong enough to overpower them all she would waste tthinking about the consequences of her actions and slaughter the crowd out of rage. However, Wyatt did not do the sinstead he was level-headed and uncovered the conspiracy right at the start and only killed those that truly deserved it. After all, since Wyatt knew the conspiracy of the Circle and the Yin-yang harmony sect he could not be foolish enough to play into their hands and kill all the card apprentices from the Southern Capital. So what did plan to do with the rest of the card apprentices? His actions and words so far said that he planned to kill them all but Adriene's gut told her he was up to something else. However, no matter how hard Adriene tried to look at it she could not figure out Wyatt's angle or find a small hint that he did not plan to them. She could not think of a reason why Wyatt was doing what he was doing. She did entertain the angle of ransom for a second but recalling the wealth VR-Universe was amassing she immediately rejected it strongly believing that wealth was not Wyatt's motive here. If not the wealth of the families behind the card apprentices from the Southern Capital, then what was Wyatt after? No matter how much Adriene wrecked her brain she could not think of a good reason for Wyatt's actions. It was understandable after all she did not know anything about Wyatt except for what was published in the grimoire network or collected by her family operatives. Despite his popularity in the Southern Region Wyatt was an enigma to not just the regular citizens but the elite families too because the Southern Royal family wanted it that way. Having full control over the Southern Region's media and grimoire network, the Southern Royal family could control all news about Wyatt so without their approval nothing about him could appear on the grimoire network unless it was Wyatt himself who disclosed it. Even then it would undergo strict verification and only when the Southern Royal family approves it would the information be public. "What gave you that idea?" Wyatt asked uninterestedly with his eyes still focused on Adriene's soul pathways and the entity attached to them. He believed that if he was able to get the Hive AI to scan and copy the entity then it could get started on decompressing the soul pathways of the entity giving Wyatt more insight into the entity. "If you wanted to kill us all with your power you could have killed us all together however you did not do that. It tellsthat you do not plan to kill us however you also do not plan to let us go. So what is it you are truly after? Just tell me, maybe I can help—" Midway through her sentence Adriene paused and stared at Wyatt in disbelief and shock. Which soon morphed into reverence as she blurted, "You have been tellingwhat you want from the start!" "..." Listening to Adriene, Wyatt could not help but lift his eyebrow wondering what she was going on about now. "I thought you were stupid to tellabout your interest in the entity withinand why you were sparing my life. I thought you had foolishly handedthe chips I needed to bargain with you," Adriene paused and began to laugh saying, "You know I patted my back for having figured out to use the fact that you will not killbecause it will free the entity within to bargain the lives of my friends and other card apprentices. I was so proud of myself at that moment. I felt like I was the hero I always wanted to be. However, it turns out it was all a part of your plan. You were givingthe chips I needed to bargain because you wantedto give you a valid reason not to kill the rest of the card apprentice. This is so embarrassing, if I could I would dig a hole and bury my head in it to escape the shame. From the beginning to the end, you were using all of us. We were nothing but pawns in your hands." Uncovering the real reason why Wyatt foolishly expressed his interest in the entity within her body and also told her why he could not kill her, Adriene finally knew that she was nothing but a pawn in Wyatt's schemes. Understanding that Wyatt was planning to use her to give him a valid reason not to kill the rest of the card apprentices, Adriene looked at Wyatt who was looking at her like looking at a lab specimen and asked him in fear, "Wyatt, answerhonestly. Are you really interested in the entity within my body? Was everything you revealed about it true?" Adriene was scared to know the answer to these questions because right now she believed the reason her Inner Goddess abandoned her was because it was a foreign entity that was using her as a means to recover exploiting her extraordinary talent that even surpassed the youngest demigod known, Demigod Baylor. If it turns out what Wyatt said was all false then her mind would be beyond messed up.
