Listening to Marcy, I nodded and sent her on her way. She was too upright for his taste. She had too much compa.s.sion for her fellows. She was the type who would be willing to suffer more if meant someone else would suffer less. She was the kind Wyatt chose to stay away from. Now that Wyatt had helped her turn her life around at Field Marshal's request he did not want to have anything to do with her. People like Marcy made loyal friends and subordinates but Wyatt's history with such people always ended up with them asking him to compromise for the greater good. Having offered his first life for the greater good now he had reserved his second life for his good. which was why he chose to stay not use Marcy.

"Boss, I am begging you, give me two traits and two physiques. Oh, please, boss, please!" After Marcy left, Aurelia continued with her unsightly begging. Now that she had gotten comfortable around Wyatt the shy fangirl side of hers was nowhere to be seen and was replaced by shameless beggar girl. Listening to Aurelia beg the corner of Wyatt's mouth twitched as he tried to control his anger. However, Aurelia soon got down on both her knees, and joining her hands she begged Wyatt, "Boss, if two traits and two physiques are too much then give me one trait and two physiques. Please, I beg you, please." Seeing Aurelia would not listen to reason, Wyatt turned to bid goodbye to his employees and take his leave, having achieved his goal of using Marcy's ascendance to gain their undying trust and loyalty. This way even if the entire world were to be against Wyatt, these people would not hesitate to support Wyatt and die for what they believe in. Asuring that Wyatt's empire can sustain itself in the storm even in his absence. However, just as Wyatt turned to do so, the kneeling Aurelia suddenly hugged Wyatt's waist tightly, pressing her face against his hip, she pleaded, "Boss, I will be satisfied with one trait and one physique. Please don't leave." "What the heck is wrong with you? Aurelia let go of me before I get angry," Wyatt warned Aurelia but she would not listen and shouted, "I will not leave until you promise me, boss." "Aurelia, let go. Boss has a serious temper," Dan hurriedly asked his cousin to come to her senses before their boss took a drastic measure. 'What the heck, since when did I have a temper I am the most patient boss,' Wyatt thought but he did not voice it as long as it got Aurelia off his back. But with this Wyatt finally understood how Aurelia a direct descendent of a big family with notable military contribution was able to get along with the hoodlums of the Bright Lion gang in a third tier city so much so that they had a sense of rivalry stemming from comradery. She was a hoodlum herself. No wonder except for Kane no one dared to voice their disagreement when Cindy openly claimed Aurelia to be Wyatt's number one fan. She had almost tamed everyone in the Bright Lions with her brazen personality and strength. Adding to that she was too honest. Who doesn't love an honest thug? They might not be good at their job but they were lovable that way. "No, I won't let go until the boss promises to give me an extra physique and a trait," Aurelia did not listen to any form of persuasion and continued to hold on to Wyatt. Even if he dragged her on the floor as he walked or almost broke her arms trying to loosen their grip on his waist. As a martial card apprentice whose primary focus was body reinforcement, Aurelia was not afraid of physical pain or getting her suit dirty. Wyatt wanted to break Aurelia's arm and free himself, then give her potion to heal herself but stopped as he was in the presence of his most loyal followers. These guys were willing to sacrifice their life for his dream. Such a violent response to Aurelia's childish tantrum infront of them was too much. As Wyatt's most loyal followers, they deserved some perks. Not that everyone wanted to act spoiled like Aurelia but it was to let them know that in Wyatt's heart, they held a different place compared to the average public. Therefore, he could not resort to violence. Left with little choice, Wyatt pulled Aurelia up and whispered in her ears that he would give her what she wanted only if she could keep a secret from the rest of the world. "Really, but I can't do that," Aurelia replied honestly fully aware that she could not keep a secret. That was also one of the reasons why she avoided lying. "Then sorry, I cannot do anything about it. How about this, for now, I will fix your physique but when you are sure you can do what I asked come to me and I will keep my promise. Does that sound good?" Wyatt patiently handled Aurelia gaining a nod from the older employees from the the Fine Gold. No matter how capable their leader was if he could not sympathize or get along with them what was the point of all their sacrifice? Continuing to hug Wyatt's waist resting her head on his hip, Aurelia went into deep contemplation, and seeing that she was taking too long to answer, Dan offered to help, "Aurelia, what did the boss say?" "He said when I can keep a secret he will give me what I want, but I don't think I can ever keep a secret," Aurelia replied in frustration. Understanding that Aurelia can never keep a secret as such their Boss will never have to give her the physique and traits she kept pestering him about, the employees nodded thinking, 'As, expect of our boss.'

Dan, however, curiously asked Wyatt, "Boss, how did you know that Aurelia could not keep a secret?" ...
