"Hold up, before you start making threats know that I am not involved in this in any way. I was here to greet you and nothing more. But since you two have stuff to figure out, I will take my leave now," Jill's father said as he prepared to leave but feeling Arnas's master's gaze on him he added, "Buddy, he is not here to fight. So do give a reason to."

Seeing how Anna's grandfather only sent his incarnation instead of coming in person or sending his son, it was clear that he was not here to fight but to scare as he had mentioned upon his arrival. As long as Arnas's master was sensible things would end peacefully.

So Jill's father did not feel the need to stick around as this was not his mess, to begin with. Knowing his buddy if he continued to stick around he would be dragged into the mess regardless of his wish.

Seeing Jill's father throw all the blame on Arnas's master and leave, Anna's grandfather's incarnation scoffed saying, " Your daughter is not a match for my granddaughter, it would save her some heartache if she moves on."

It was obvious that Jill's presence next to Wyatt bothered the Southern Royal family. If Jill were just another researcher at Morningstar University, they would not have cared. However, Jill's identity was far from ordinary. So they would not tolerate her shadowing Wyatt, trying to gain a place in his heart. The Southern Ruler would spare time to learn about the daily life of the talent who would lead the Southern Region to a better future.

"Compared to the original, you got a quiet mouth on you, don't you but let us stay out of our girls' business. I believe they can handle themselves?" Jill's father paused in his tracks hearing the Southern Ruler's incarnation bring up Jill.

Jill's father instantly understood that the Southern Royal family was aware that it was he who had purposefully revealed the information about the collaboration between the Central government and Morningstar University to Jill fully aware that she would leak it to Wyatt. Anybody could see that he was helping his daughter to score some points in pursuit of gaining Wyatt's affection.

"Hope you will keep that in mind," The Incarnation warned Jill's father to follow the words he just spoke. As far as the Southern Royal family was concerned, Wyatt in general was the South's property therefore Jill's father's action to help Jill win Wyatt's affection was akin to him trying to steal their property.

"Look at you two talking as if I do not exist," Arnas's Master spoke up feeling disrespected. It was clear that he too was after Wyatt, but these two dared to talk about Wyatt as if he belonged to them right in front of him. If this was not disrespect then what was?

"..." Jill's father did not even bother with his buddy and left the scene. Unlike the other two he was factionless, he could not afford to fight in passive-aggressive behind-the-scenes battles like them. Now that he had shut down most of his inhumane research he could see some cash flow in his hands and was thinking of starting a faction so he did not want to attract trouble even before establishing one.

With his buddy leaving, Arnas's master locked his eyes with Anna's grandfather, only to hear the other party arrogantly say, "You heard me the first time. So are you retreating your forces from the southern capital or not?"

"Boy, if your original body was here I would have spared some time to teach him some manners, but with you, I could not be bothered to. So let me make it clear, I want Dalton Wyatt. Hand him over and my forces will leave the Southern Capital alone," Arnas's master conveniently skipped over the attack on the dual gate dungeon connecting the Western Capital to the Southern Capital.

"And I want this land, hand it over," Anna's grandfather's incarnation declared surprising Arnas's master, "Heatsend, you're taking a joke too far?"

"Who said I was joking? Now, I want this land and your head, hand it over," the incarnation doubled down without menacing its words.

"You... even your original body would not dare to speak such arrogant words. What kind of crazy incarnation did he refine or are you a failed product?" Arnas's master started to get a feeling that Southern Ruler's incarnation was exactly the opposite of Southern Ruler himself, while their bodies looked alike and exerted the same unfathomable soul energy signature.

"You say I am being arrogant, then what about you? Is it not arrogant of you to demand me to hand over my citizen to you? Get it through your head, for Dalton Wyatt, I am not only willing to risk the Southern Captial but the entire Southern region," The incarnation's words could not be clearer that if the Masters planned to come after Wyatt they should be prepared to face the entire Southern region.

The only reason Anna's grandpa dared to be so reckless about the Southern Region was because he knew Wyatt was worth it. As long as they were given enough time to grow, Wyatt and Anna could together rebuild the Southern Region from scratch, stronger and better. He had already decided to hand over the Southern region to Anna and her council, Dalton Wyatt.

"Hahaha," having gauged the resolve of the Southern Ruler, Arnas's master laughed and then said, "Everything has a price. Tell me how much for Dalton Wyatt? Now don't be hasty to reject me before hearing what I have to offer, the patent and manufacturing rights to the Silver Milk Powder and copyright to the Soul energy digestion card recipe."

It appeared as if Arnas's Master was offering a huge price for Wyatt when actually he was offering nothing. Both Silver Milk Powder and Soul energy digestion effect cards belonged to Wyatt. Even with him out of the picture, without a proper and constant source of silver milk the patent and manufacturing rights to the Silver Milk Powder were worthless. And he figured with the amount of cards with the Soul energy digestion effect released in the market by Wyatt it was only about time that someone deduced similar card recipes. Seeing no point in regulating either of them Arnas's Master decided to exchange them for Wyatt. Besides compared to the VR Universe they were worth nothing.

"Dalton Wyatt is the Son of the South. He is not for sale. Just withdraw your forces while I am being patient," the incarnation declared resolutely.

"If Dalton Wyatt is not up for sale what about a wager?"
