"Corey! What is wrong with you?"

Landing on the deck, I was mesmerized by the site of teary Susan rushing toward me and unconsciously opened my arms so that she could dive into my embrace but before that could happen, to everyone's surprise, Corey entered her demon form, broke free of Corey Park's constrain, and tackled Susan to the floor of the floater's deck.

"Big Sis, I am so glad that you did not leave me," Ignoring Susan's anger, Corey locked Susan in a strong hug not letting go of her.

"Corey let go of me before I get angry," Susan whispered in embarrassment as the way Corey was hugging her on the floor was awkward.

In Susan's embrace, Corey returned to her human form and her mood improved for the better. When Susan left with Old Ben and others despite her repeated protest, Corey was depressed, which under the titled demon core's influence turned into something far worse, giving birth to rude and edgy Corey. But now that she was in the embrace of Susan, Corey's depression washed away and she felt at peace knowing that her mother would not be leaving her side anytime soon.

"I think I found a better way to help Corey with her condition," Corey Park said to me glancing at Corey who was hugging an embarrassed and angry Susan.

"Susan may agree to help you but do you think this fair for her?" I said knowing that if Corey Park approached Susan with Corey's crisis Susan would not hesitate to help out even if it was at the cost of her personal space and freedom.

"It is just a temporary measure until you create the custom mental strength enhancement card as you promised," Corey Park argued saying that Susan was only a temporary measure.

"..." Shaking my head I headed toward Susan to help her up but as I neared Susan, Corey hissed at me like a cat who got its tail stepped on and then snitched on me to Susan, "Big Sis, our boss just got engaged to princess Anna Heatsend, it is the talk of the entire base. I did not think that the relationship between our boss and the princess had grown to this level in a few days. The ring on the boss finger is the southern royal family's heirloom engagement ring."

Listening to Corey, Susan felt like a bombshell had been dropped in her mind. She looked at the approaching boy in shock, her gaze slowly moved to the ring on his finger and her mind was blown away. Her hands and legs had turned cold learning the astonishing piece of news, she wanted to ask the boy to tell her that Corey was lying but she could not find the strength in her body to utter those words.

"Corey, don't speak if you do not know the full truth," I snapped at Corey but she did not back down and instantly asked, "The ring on your finger is it the southern royal family's heirloom engagement ring or not?"

"Yes, but it is more than that—" before I could finish what I had to say, Corey interrupted me yelling, "See, big sis, he admits it."

Until today, never in my life had I felt the urge to punch a girl in her face so badly, Corey was pushing her luck. Overcoming the urge to punch Corey in her face I signaled Corey Park to handle her mutt knowing that unless Corey kept her mouth shut it would be hard for me to clear the misunderstanding that Corey had just created between me and Susan.

Corey Park nodded and disappeared, soon the hair of Corey who was hugging Susan was set on flame and both her eyes looked like a black translucent glass globe containing flames. Corey Park had forcefully possessed Corey's body then releasing Susan, she help her up and said, "Big sis, what Corey said is true but it is only half of the story. You need to hear Wyatt's side of the story before you conclude anything. I will leave you two to sort it out."

Saying that Corey Park headed into the floater cabin area, leaving the boy and her reincarnation's reincarnated mother alone at the deck to sort out their feelings for one another.

'Thank you,' I mouthed to Corey Park and then turned to look at Susan deciding to confess everything between me and Anna to her. Then showing Anna's ring to Susan I explained, "This ring is called the dummy ring as it bears the curses directed at its wearer in their place. Anna gave it to me to protect myself as one of my enemies had contacted Nether Witch to curse me to my death. However, this ring has another identity. Corey is right about it being the southern royal family's heirloom engagement ring. Because of the ring's second identity, seeing me wear it people misunderstood my relationship with Anna and gave birth to the rumors that I was engaged to Anna. It is nothing but a rumor that Corey was blowing out of the proposition, that said I also don't deny that nothing is happening between Anna and me. All I am saying is that Anna and I are not as serious as others are making it out to be."

"Okay, I understand but you don't need to explain your relationship with Anna to me. I am just your manager," Susan's mood did not improve even after listening to my explanation.

"No, don't say that, I do owe you an explanation. You are not just my manager you are my first real friend in this world. Your opinion matters to me more than anyone else in this world. I would not hesitate to trust you with my life if there was ever a need. So, yes, I do owe you an explanation," I said raising Susan's face by her chin with my fingers to look into her eyes.

Gazing into my eyes, Susan's cheeks turned rosy red as she muttered, "I too trust my life to you."
