Hearing Anna's frantic response it was clear Anna had more than a feeling about Corey. So just dismissing her words won't work here. I would have to do more than that to stop her for now but that was a temporary measure. I didn't know what to say since I didn't know what Anna knew. Not that it mattered as nothing I said would stop Anna from trying to dig this up later. But I could caution Corey about Anna's suspicion as a courtesy from a transmigrator to a reincarnator.

"Okay, Okay. Anna. I listen to your words. I promise to be cautious around Corey." I had no choice but to agree with Anna because it looked like if I didn't she would not hesitate to kidnap and imprison me in her bedroom.

"Good." Anna sighed in relief and then added, "Don't talk about this to your manager. I know Corey is living with that girl. But we don't want spoking Corey if my suspicions are right."

"..." Anna's intentions couldn't be clearer. Did she think I could see through her? But it didn't matter because Susan was one of the few people in the world that Corey would not want to hurt.

"What? Fine, you can tell her to be cautious but she better keep her mouth shut. If Corey gets spooked I will blame her." Anna caved. Hearing how her obsession didn't have her hurting people around me out of jealousy I was relieved.

"You know her name is Susan, right?" I reminded Anna, knowing that she was okay with accommodating people around me. Anna's eerie side had a limit: it didn't do things that would hurt me. That included not harming people close to me out of jealousy.

"I know," Anna uttered, avoiding my eyes.

"Princess, you are finally awake." Agatha cheered seeing Aba move.

"Master Wyatt, I am sorry." ignoring Agatha, Aba headed towards me and apologized.

"What for? " I asked not knowing why Aba was apologizing all of a sudden.

"For calling you a liar earlier. My incompetence to lead my own mercenary group led to my jealousy and I didn't hesitate to discard your achievements in leading a successful Adventure guild and Mercenary group. I appreciate what you have been able to achieve with what you have." Aba explained why she apologized.

After learning that the boy she wanted to recruit claimed to be a leader of an adventure guild and mercenary group, Aba had contacted one of her father's retainers back home to do a thorough background search on the boy. It didn't take long for them to send Aba a detailed report. Turns out the boy was speaking the truth.

Instead of apologizing to the boy for her mistake, she scoffed at his achievements learning that the strongest member of his adventure guild and the mercenary group were just mere Card lords. How could this compare to her Mercenary group which had 23 Semi-demiG.o.ds and 103 card emperors?

Aba wasn't a vain person but today seeing a boy from nothing achieve what she dreamt of, her jealousy took over and she had some stupid thoughts.

But in the wake of the humiliation that Anna put her through with her absolute power and the words spoken by the boy she realized something.

Yes, she wasn't the demiG.o.d, her father was. Relying on her father to solve all her problems in the world, Aba had forgotten that she was just a Card Master. When respected people started to respect her because of her father she had forgotten that she was a mere card master.

She was a mere card master but she dared to ask for the loyalty of semi demiG.o.ds and card emperors. Some would choose to be loyal to her out of respect for her demiG.o.d father but how long could that respect last? Will this respect be enough for the powerful beings of the semi demiG.o.d and card emperor realm to follow her to the life and death adventures she hoped for? Was she even worthy of going on an adventure with them? Aba finally started to realize her thoughts until now were faulty and if not for her father accommodating to her wishes she wouldn't have made this far with her foolish dream.

"Master Wyatt, if you don't mind, can I tell you a story, my story?" Aba felt that despite their different social standing she and the boy had the same ambition. So she felt closer to him and wanted to open up to him about her inner thoughts. As they say, sometimes a relatable stranger's shoulder is more suitable for one to unburden their worries than the people close to them. For some reason, Aba felt this boy would be able to relate to her situation so she wanted to confine her story to him.

"Yeah, sure why not." Hearing the girl who summoned her demiG.o.d father's incarnation to get revenge to apologize to me I was dumbfounded. I didn't know what prompted this sudden change in Aba but I knew that the Aba had also become the victim of the time travel cliche b.u.t.terfly effect.

Knowing Aba was the hero and the hope of humanity against the three mischiefs I decided to indulge her. I wanted to minimize any negative effect of the change in the timeline on her. If fate favored Aba and the effect of the change in the timeline on Aba would be positive and I could set back and let nature take its course.

I was so invested in Aba because my dream of a chill life needed her to be a hero of the people like she was portrayed in Clown Mask's memories.

"There was this little girl. Her mother died early but she left her daughter her dairies. Hoping that these dairies would keep her daughter company whenever she felt lonely. And they did. But they also managed to pa.s.s on the lifelong dream of the dying mother to her daughter, to build the history's strongest mercenary group."
