Knowing what people wanted and what they would be willing to pay for it was a skill good. But knowing what they would be willing to risk for what they want and getting them to risk it, now that was the devil's work.

Listening to the Field Marshal ask how they would go about betting on an already existing wager, Wyatt nodded in satisfaction. The fact that she was willing to hear him out was enough to give Wyatt the confidence that if said all the right words he could get the Field Marshal to willingly walk into his trap masked as a game of wits, which she was confident about winning believing that she held the dominant cards.

'Simple, we modify the existing wager. Like maybe add more conditions to it or increase its difficulty, something like that,' Wyatt explained.

She is in the southern academic region and will be your assistant when you take your post there,' the Field Marshal suddenly brought up, giving an example of things the Southern Royal family were doing for Wyatt without him knowing.
