"How did you guys manage to escape from an SSS-rank party?" Diana asked, believing that Susan and Corey sitting in front of her after having a run-in with a Demigod-level party was nothing short of a miracle. 

"That's the weirder part," Susan said recalling what had transpired and then continued to say, "Blocking all our escape routes, they began to praise one of their party members. They called him by some kind of codename 'Handsome Fox.' 

They said that they would have waited for another century to become devil merchants if not for him coming up with such an ingenious idea. They even praised him for taking care of the demigod from the Southern Royal family that was secretly protecting Wyatt's friends and family.

They were chatty as they did not seem to consider us as any kind of threat to them, they treated us as commodities to threaten and exchange with Wyatt. Just when I was thinking this was it the most surprising thing happened—" 

"I still can't believe you tried to commit suicide Big Sis, have you ever wondered what would happen to me if something were to happen to you? How could you make such a rash decision? You only care about that bastard Wyatt. Why don't you care about me?" Corey interrupted Susan and began to cry. Distressed Baem tried to console her by growing two meters long with half a meter width and wrapping Corey in her embrace while patting her head with her flat chin. As if saying, 'There, there, everything is going to be alright I am here for you.' 

Diana was surprised by the intelligence displayed by the snake monster, turning itself into a comfort pillow for its inconsolable master. Then ignoring Corey, she urged Susan to continue her narration of the events, "What happened next?" 

Listening to her Corey began to cry louder and even more inconsolably, which Diana did not believe was possible until now. But just as she was about to urge Susan again, she felt an ominous pressure cover her from every direction, sealing her mouth shut. Diana moved her eyeballs with a lot of effort to find that Corey's snake monster was glaring at her with its cold slit eyes. Glancing into those eyes Diana's body began to lose temperature similar to a Corpse losing its body temperature with time. 

Susan who witnessed all this from the side, hurriedly came to Diana's rescue, "Baem, stop it. She did not mean any harm to Corey she was just teasing her." 

Listening to Susan's distressed voice, Baem immediately stopped her actions and then laid her head on weeping Corey's shoulder while gently caressing Corey's cheek with her head. Looking at the weeping master and depressed snake duo, Susan let out a sigh. Then she walked up to them and kissing Corey's forehead she hugged the duo while slowly swaying sideways repeatedly. 

Susan also felt a little guilty about trying to commit suicide, she was being selfish back then by only caring about her not wanting to be a burden for Wyatt but not caring for what her death would mean to people who cared and loved her, her parents, her friends, Wyatt and of course Corey. If the demigod had not stopped her back then she might have committed the greatest sin ever but she would not regret it as she chose death over being a burden for her loved ones ninety-nine times of hundred. 

This was her pride. It was what prompted her to become a sales rep after completing high school when all her unawakened high-school friends joined mortal universities using their parent's money. This was what kept her sane when Debra Khan who joined as a sales rep with her became a card apprentice while she remained just a sales rep. She was grateful for that, if not for that she would never have met the star of her life, Wyatt. Rocking the monster and master duo in her warm hug Susan suddenly had a sense of raising two children when she had not even given birth to one. 

As for Diana, she was sweating through her clothes as her body began to regain its temperature. She finally had a new understanding and appreciation for Life and Death. Then she looked at Susan with gratitude and at the Snake monster with reverence. She could not understand how Corey managed to subdue such a powerful monster as a pet, maybe she could indeed solo an S-rank dungeon with was meant for an S-rank party containing a minimum of five card kings. 

Diana no longer dared to urge Susan to continue with the narration of the incident knowing that if she were to distract Susan now Corey and her monster snake Baem would never forgive her and she would permanently make it to the top of Corey's enemy list. Considering Corey's pettiness Diana believed Corey definitely had an enemy list and she did not want to be on it now that she knew that Baem was capable of killing her just with its stare. This was only logical. 

Corey finally started to stop weeping and hug Susan back as Baem unwound from her and warped around both of them, while Corey comfortably nestled in Susan's embrace. Since Corey cared about Susan, Baem cared about Susan. She even revered Susan considering how high Corey held Susan in her heart. Therefore Baem was very obedient toward Susan and just like Corey, she too sought Susan's affection but not enough to fight for it with Corey. This was surprising because her master did not like to share Susan but Beam was willing to share Corey with Susan. 

Susan lifted Corey's head gently and making eye contact with her she apologized, "I am sorry I put through that. And don't you ever think that I do not care about you, do you hear me?" 

Corey looked away but nodded her head, however, Susan moved her head to stare into Corey's eyes again and said, "I did not hear you?" 

"Yes," Corey said aloud. Baem then slowly unwounded and reduced to its chibi size and sat on Corey's head. Susan patted her head and then turned to Diana to finish her narration of the incident.
