"Wyatt, the Southern Royal family will spare no efforts to protect you, I hope you know this. But why take unnecessary risks? Why test fate?" Ann continued to persuade the boy. 

"Ann, stop. My decisions are not up for debate nor am I interested in arguing with you. Here take these 20 million VR-Slime cards and leave," I said, handing Ann a storage card filled with 20 million VR-Slime cards that the Southern royal family ordered for 300 devil-grade ingredients.

"..." Taking the storage card from the boy Ann wanted to continue persuading him but stopped and tried to understand why the boy wanted to attend the interview despite knowing it was a trap. 

If Ann did not understand why the boy was doing what he was doing she would never be able to persuade him not to do what he was planning to do.

Thinking hard Ann did not understand why the boy would take unnecessary risks. He stubbornly wants to attend Morningstar University in the central academic city knowing that the circle, the paw clan, and the central government was after his life and his only allies, the Southern Royal family, couldn't do much there to protect him. 

Now he stubbornly wants to attend the early admission interview to Morningstar University despite knowing that it was a trap laid out by Morningstar University and the central government to capture him. 

Ann did not understand what the boy was trying to achieve by taking these unnecessary risks. Was he an adrenaline junkie? No, he wasn't. 

From the time Ann had spent with the boy, she had learned a lot about the boy, especially that he would not claim or do anything without thinking it through. 

The boy's battle with the circle in the Sun Blossom City and his deal with the devil were the perfect examples of how the boy doesn't take any impulsive decisions. Even if he did, he sees them through. 

So, does this mean the boy was planning something again? Otherwise, without a plan, it would be stupid to walk into a trap and the boy was not stupid. 

Thinking of this Ann's eyes shone with brilliance and she asked the boy, "Okay Wyatt, you win. I will no longer question your decision but you have to tell me what you planned. Don't act ignorant, you definitely are up to something, aren't you? Tell us what you are up to so that I and my family can help you to the best of our abilities." 

"What the hell, Ann? What fuck are you babbling about?" Jill exclaimed seeing Ann suddenly agree with the boy's decision. 

The reason Jill was quiet so far was that she did not want to be the bad guy who ordered the boy what to do and what not to do when Ann was filling in the role perfectly. But seeing Ann suddenly go along with the boy's decision she could not continue to play the cool friend and yelled out. 

"Jill, I don't have to explain myself to you. You're from the enemy faction, it's best if you leave while I discuss strategies with Wyatt," now that Ann got the information from Jill, she had no more use for her so she planned to send her packing. 

"What strategies? Have you two gone mad? The central government alone has deployed two demigod-level teams to capture Wyatt, who knows how many teams Morningstar University has developed for this mission? Let me tell you in the face of absolute strength no strategies will work. So, whatever wild idea you have in your mind, please kill them right away," Jill said what needed to be said to drag the boy back to reality. 

Having said that Jill could not help but wonder how brave a card master has to be for him to think he can take on a group of demigods. Only the ignorant can be brave in this situation. 

The boy wasn't ignorant nor would he be facing the enemy by himself he had the Southern royal family to face but still what business did a card master have in the fight against demigods? The boy should be trying his best to avoid the fight instead he was directly walking into the eye of the storm. 

"Jill, chill. This is the Southern Capital, no matter how many demigods come if they create trouble, they can forget about leaving the city. 

Wyatt, whatever you are planning, the Southern Royal family will fully back you up. But I want you to share your plan with us so that there aren't any surprises and we can better adapt to it," after realizing the boy was up to something Ann stopped trying to persuade the boy because she knew if the boy sets his mind to something he will not listen to anyone. Therefore, it was better for her and her family to become a part of his plan so that they can pull out in case things get out of hand. 

"Ann, the demigod teams I speak of are no ordinary demigods; they are the best of the best, trained and groomed for these kinds of missions. They have taken part in far more difficult missions and have successfully completed them. These guys will not rest until their mission is complete," Jill warned Ann to not underestimate the demigods sent by the central government just because the southern royal family has the home field advantage and were more in numbers. 

However, Jill's warnings fell on deaf ears as both Ann and the boy ignored her. 

"Ann, I don't know what you're talking about. All I want to do is attend the early admission interview held by Morningstar University. But I will be depending on you to make arrangements for my transportation and security," Ann was right. I did have a plan but I was not going to share it with the Southern Royal family as they will never agree to crazy stuff I have planned to achieve my real agenda.
