Wyatt paused analysing the entity in Adriene for a second and took a good look at her for speculating wildly. If Adriene was just speculating Wyatt would not bother to give her his total attention, but all of her speculation hit the mark. Not to mention, Adriene appeared to be in a weird place, with her so-called inner goddess betraying her, where she was trusting him, who just tried to kill her, over herself. Yes, Adriene was right. After learning about the conspiracy of the SuprLeader and Matron, Wyatt did not plan to kill the card apprentices from the Southern Capital. Instead, he was even using Adriene to make a valid reason not to kill those card apprentices. Was Wyatt a hypocrite for not planning to kill the Card apprentices from the Southern capital that cto kill him when his Calamity Daughter Gems had massacred the high school gangs from the neighboring cities that threatened to invade the Sky Blossom City and destroy the Bright Lion gang in revenge for them helping Wyatt destroy the Sun Blossom City branch of the Circle? First of all, the world was unfair, deal with it and no Wyatt was not a hypocrite. The reason Wyatt's Calamity Daughter Gems mercilessly massacred the high school gangs from the neighboring cities was because they belonged to the Circle. In the present situation, Wyatt had mercilessly massacred those from the Circle and Yin-yang harmony sect. If not for his not having a proper means to uncover the members of the Paw clan he would have even slaughtered them too. Not to mention, the only reason Wyatt had spared the death penalty for the other card apprentices from the Southern Capital was that he did not want to becthe reason for the downfall of the Southern Region because once he kills them, the Southern Royal family will be left with no choice but to chose between Wyatt and the elite families from the Southern Capital. There would be no mid-ground for them to meet on. Even if the elite families of the Southern Captial were willing to agree to a compromise because of the Southern Royal family's sweet compensation Wyatt would not be willing to compromise as he knew even though the elite families would appear to have forgiven him in their hearts, they would be cultivating the grudge against him waiting for a chance to bite back. Wyatt was in no habit of raising dogs that would bite their masters so he would never agree to it. Hence, ultimately the Southern Royal family would be forced to choose and as a result, the Southern Region and its people would suffer. To avoid such a future Wyatt had to reduce the sentence of these card apprentices from the Southern Capital from death to something that would benefit him in his future ventures. Many would call Wyatt's decision to lighten the sentence of the card apprentice from death dull crap. However, Wyatt would like to remind them of an old saying, 'Son will pay for his father's sin.' In the olden periods, society used this saying to punish an entire family for the sins of one of their own. Even in the current period, society continues to use this saying as it is not uncommon for the family to be on the hook for the loans and debt of their family member even though most governing bodies strictly prohibit it.

However, society has misinterpreted the saying, 'Son will pay for his father's sin' as ssort of justification to vent their anger and fulfill their greed when it has an eternal meaning that shows itself with time.

'Son will enjoy his father's merits,

 Son will pay for his father's sins.' Many bltheir fate for being born into a poor family and say the world's unfair. However, it was a natural example of this saying.

What many failed to understand was that even if they were born into poor families, nobody had stopped their family from becoming rich in the first place. What was the difference between those born in a rich family and those born in a poor family? The ancestors of the rich family did sthat the ancestors of the poor family failed to. The ancestors of the rich family create opportunities for their descendants to continue to be rich. That's 'Son will enjoy his father's merit.' The ancestors of the poor family failed to create opportunities for their descendants to continue to be rich. That's 'Son will pay for his father's sin.' However, this does not end there as it's a cycle. The descendants of the meritorious ancestors have to use their ancestor's opportunities to remain rich and earn merits to give their descendants the opportunities to continue to remain rich. There is no guarantee that the descendants of the rich ancestors will be able to give their descendants what their ancestors gave them. However, because of their ancestor's merits, they will have room to make mistakes. Allowing them to continue to prosper as long as they do not make a colossal mistake that their ancestor's merits cannot afford. The descendants of the unmeritorious ancestors will not be readily given the opportunities to becrich and earn merits, their ancestor's unmeritorious life might even drag them down. Still, the descendants of the unmeritorious ancestors can struggle to becrich and earn merits to give their descendants what their ancestors failed to give them. But, these descendants can also blfate for being born to unmeritorious ancestors and following the footsteps of their ancestors. As such creating more hurdles for their descendants.

This was one of the interpretations of the saying, 'Son will enjoy the merits of his father, Son will pay for the sins of his father.' Currently, the Card apprentices from the Southern Capital were enjoying the merits of their ancestors. Their mistake was not enough to deny the merits of their ancestors as it was their ancestors that helped the Southern Royal family build the Southern Region that all the Southerners enjoyed. If Wyatt were to deny the merits of the ancestors of the card apprentices from the Southern Capital then he would be denying the Southern Region that was the evidence of their merit. So killing these card apprentices was equal to him destroying the Southern Region and killing its citizens with his own hand.
