Kane and other members hung their heads in shame. As for Aurelia, she had a foolish smile on her face as she said, "Boss, I feel like you are calling me a fool."

"I am," Wyatt said with an indifferent expression, only someone slow-minded like her would be willing to go through the excruciating pain to practice body reinforcement martial arts, especially with her quirky physique.

"Is this why mom said that we should not meet our heroes?" Aurelia did not say it as a retort to Wyatt. She was genuinely hurt that Wyatt would call her a fool and recalled the words her mother used to stop her from living the home and coming to Sky Blossom City.

"Don't worry, you are my fool so I will not treat you badly," Wyatt said to console Aurelia, he never had come across a person who was so honest maybe Aba could give her some competition.

"Thank you, boss," Aurelia instantly cheered up seeing Wyatt accept her. Though she was hurt that Wyatt considered her a fool but unlike others he said it to her face and not behind her back. This made her recall something else her mother said, 'Some people are rough on the outside only because they are trying to hide their shyness under it.'

Listening to Aurelia, shaking his head Wyatt turned to look at Marcy, and said, "I will be honest with you. I lied to you when I said you have an unawakened unique ability that is making your condition worse. Don't ask me why I lied but rest assured I do have the solution for your condition and plan to treat you as I promised to your siblings."

"Master Wyatt that is good enough for me," Marcy did not question Wyatt and just went along with what he said. After all, she was not paying Wyatt, he was going out of his way to help her. So, she had no complaints or demands.

Wyatt nodded and then turning to Aurelia he said, "I can help you fix your quirky physique and help you become stronger but not enough to defeat the devil in card master. Are you willing to give it a try?"

"I will agree to anything you ask, boss," Aurelia agreed without hesitation. Listening to his cousin's reply Dan exaggeratedly slapped his forehead.

Wyatt turned to look at Cindy, who hurriedly replied, "Boss, leave her basic social education to me."

"Nooo! No, I am not studying anything," Listening to Cindy, Aurelia jumped in fright like a vampire exposed to sunlight. Kane and other members snickered at her misery.

Ignoring Aurelia, Wyatt signaled Marcy to come over. As she neared him, he swiftly and painlessly pricked her extracting a drop of her blood. Summoning his grimoire, Wyatt used her drop of blood to create a one-time-use blood curse substitute card for Marcy which the employees of the Fine Gold and Members of Bright Lion watched keenly.

After creating the substitute card, Wyatt informed Marcy, "You see your predecessors were used in a heinous human experimentation by devil worshippers. In your predecessor's case, they forcefully introduced various kinds of pathogens that are available in the demon realm to see if humans could gain a similar physique as demons. Fortunately for your predecessor, the pathogens died unable to survive in an unknown environment and unknown host.

However, unfortunately, one species of pathogen of all the various pathogens survived, not only did it survive but it found a way to thrive in your predecessor's body. It was only able to thrive in your predecessor's body because of their incredible talent for active soul control. This is also why the pathogen never chose to be transmitted to other humans. After all, people with a talent similar to your predecessor are very rare. If they moved to other humans they would die with them.

But the pathogens found other ways to prolong their survival, that was through your predecessor's descendant. The pathogens could not control the talent of other humans to ensure their survival but they could ensure the talent of your predecessor's descendant. By carrying your predecessor's talent to his descendants during impregnation.

By doing so they ensured your predecessor had a lineage of talented descendants but your predecessor's descendants were never able to rise to a better fate because they were all plagued by pathogens and doomed from birth just like you are. The reason I am telling you this is because I thought you would like to know about your family history. Though it is tragic it is your family history. Now let me put an end to that tragic story with a happy ending."

Then, Wyatt summoned nine floating heads and nine pairs of arms. They moved from Wyatt's behind and surrounded Marcy. Seeing this she did not panicking having decided to trust Wyatt. Soon Wyatt's slave consciousnesses mobilized their spiritual energy and used soul energy vibraration to form a bridge between Marcy and her blood curse substitute card. Similar to a placenta.

Then, Wyatt introduced an abundant quantity of high-quality refined soul energy in the blood curse substitute card. Sensing the refined soul energy, the pathogens in Marcy's body rushed into the blood curse substitute of Marcy without suspecting anything.

Later Wyatt and his soul consciousness used their spiritual energy to force the remaining pathogens in Marcy's body into the blood curse substitute card. Wyatt used his soul pupils to scan Marcy's body and soul repeatedly to make sure that there were no more pathogens left in her body. Only when he was sure that he had collected all the pathogens and their spores infested in Marcy's body into her blood curse substitute card did he stop.

As the pathogens left her body Marcy felt like a huge shackle around her soul was lifted and her soul was freed. With the talent she inherited from her ancestors, she immediately felt better. As if she was reborn.
