“What do you mean?” Number Ten asked the enemy semi-demigod in confusion.

“Which one of the three clones is the original one?” The semi-demigod in charge of the circle’s semi-demigods said.

“Wait…” saying that Number Ten turned to look at Agatha. In response, Agatha glanced back at him asking, “Why are you looking at me?”

“… Answer the gentleman, would you?” Agatha’s response caught Number Ten off guard but he still calmly replied to her.

“How would I know?” Agatha replied spreading her arms in innocence

“…” Agatha’s reply stumped not only Number Ten and Nine but the enemy semi-demigods too. This was not the reply they were looking for from a professional, high-profile bodyguard like Agatha herself.

“Had I known which one of the clones was original, why would I waste time trying to stop all three of them, instead of focusing all our power on stopping just the one with the boy,” Agatha replied

“I thought, you did that to not let the enemy know which one of the three clones of the boy was original,” Number Nine replied impressed with Agatha’s calmness.

“Hold on, you are telling me, your choice to chase that guy out of the three of them was just a random decision and not because you knew that the clone he was carrying was the original,” Number Ten could not get his head around Agatha’s actions so far and wondered how Demigod Windsor could trust her with his only daughter’s life.

“Yes and stop making a big deal out of it, don’t forget you two were also supposed to protect the boy, not just me,” Agatha said feeling a little embarrassed as this clearly showed incompetence in her duty as a professional high-profile bodyguard.

“Forget it,” Number Ten chose not to argue with Agatha, and then turning to the enemy semi-demigods he said, “Bring out all three of the boy’s clones, let them answer which one is the original.”

“How do we know that you will not attack once you know which one has the original?” One of the cautious Semi-demigods asked.

“Come on, if we had such thoughts we would not have tried to negotiate, and besides aren’t the three of you confident in your strength?” Since the start of the conversation Number Ten had noticed that the attitude of the three enemy semi-demigods was not that of trapped rats, but conniving foxes.

“Fine,” The enemy semi-demigods did not even bother to argue or deny Number Ten, and immediately the three clones were released from their respective trap. The three enemy semi-demigods each then held one clone.

Being released from their respective traps, each one of the clones gave a vivid expression, making it hard for the enemy and allied Semi-demigods to differentiate the original one from the clones just based on their expressions and actions.

Looking at the three clones Number Nine could not help but become impressed. He tried every arrow in his query and none of them seem to help him determine the original form of the clones. He really wanted to ask the boy whether he had mastered some kind of clone rule meaning. But holding back his curiosity, taking one last glance at the clones trying to figure out their trick, he signaled Agatha to address them.

“Wyatt, we have negotiated with your captors and if you are willing to hand over the corpse of their branch leader they are willing to let you go,” Agatha conveyed what was negotiated between the two forces to the boy.

“Agatha, I knew I couldn’t trust you with my protection,” all three clones respond simultaneously without any delay and with the exact same tone and notes, so their voice got amplified.

“Why did you try to run? We had it all in control until that moment,” Agatha replied being blamed by the boy for letting the enemies take him hostage.

“So, it was my fault then. Blame the victim,” The three clones complained and then said, “I should have hired these guys as my bodyguard instead of your incompetent ass.”

“Why did you try to run? We had it all in control until that moment,” Agatha replied being blamed by the boy for letting the enemies take him hostage.

“Are you sure about that? Their target of protection is dead,” Agatha jeered.

“Their comrade died bravely in a fight, not their fault. At least they are sensible enough to go this far to bring the corpse of their comrade home. Compared to them you are just incompetent,” The Three Clones defend the enemy semi-demigods and mocked Agatha in unison.

“Please stop speaking all the same time, it is creeping me out,” Agatha complained showing no notion of anger toward the boy for mocking her.

“…” Number Nine, Ten, and the enemy semi-demigods could not believe their ears hearing the argument between Agatha and the boy. They were surprised to see Agatha not get angry being mocked by the boy and treat him as an equal despite their strength and status gap. Number Ten looked pasted that and yelled, “Will you two stop arguing and save us all some time by doing as negotiated?”

“Who are these guys?” One of the boy’s clones asked Agatha. On account of her request, the clones had chosen not to speak simultaneously.

“Wyatt, meet Number Nine and Ten. They are the other two semi-demigods attached for your bodyguard detail,” Agatha introduced Number Nine and Ten to the boy, who looked at them and said, “I had heard government employees were lazy, incompetent, a waste of taxpayer’s money, and not to be trusted, but I did not know I would be unlucky enough to experience it first hand.”

“Boy, watch your mouth, we are not pushovers like Agatha. We won’t mind leaving you here with them just to teach you a lesson respecting your seniors,” Number Nine yelled hearing the boy call them lazy, incompetent, and a waste of taxpayer’s money.

“I dare you”
