"Cortney, how many kind people like your headmaster have you met in your entire life?" Diana asked, understanding that Cortney only understood things in their basic form. She could not understand, how someone so dumb managed to survive so far. Especially, with her Tao Tongue physique. Was the world looking out for her?

Wyatt did not know if the world was looking out for Cortney but he knew Clown Mask had been looking out for Cortney. The old hooker that saved Cortney and brought her to the city's orphanage was Clown Mask. Not only that, Clown Mask very discreetly helped the orphanage. With the Circle monitoring her, she could not make it too obvious, hence its struggling state. Still only with her secret protection did the current headmaster and her ideologies manage to survive in this city when Cirlce was ruling it.

Having recalled this from Clown Mask's memories, Wyatt had gone silent. Wondering if he should tell Cortney the truth. Then he decided against it mostly because it was not his place and he wanted Cortney to hear it all from her mother's mouth. Wyatt believed he had enough leverage to get the Southern royal family to release Clown Mask especially since the current timeline had deviated very from the Clown Mask's future vision.

"None," Cortney answered Diana without thinking. Diana waited thinking, Cortney would realize what she was hinting to her, but that moment did not come so she said, "So you see Cortney, people like your headmaster are very rare, making what you are asking Wyatt to do almost impossible. Don't you think so?"

"No, I don't. All my life I have only been in this city and I have yet to meet and get to know everyone in this city. Even if the headmaster is one of a kind in our city. Each should have at least one person like her. All Wyatt has to do is figure out a way to find that person and then we help that person to the best of our abilities. Ain't that simple?" Diana's words did not demotivate Cortney instead they made her more enthusiastic.

Listening to Cortney, both Diana and Cindy shook their heads thinking Cortney was too optimistic to think that every city would at least have a single person similar to the current orphanage headmaster. Back in when they were in the orphanage, the headmaster then was in cahoots with the circle and had no qualms about selling children to brothels or demonic card apprentices.

They could not help but wonder what happened to that headmaster. Unlike the current headmaster who was a mortal, that one was a strong demonic card apprentice herself. She sacrificed significant infants to her card to maintain her young apprentice, beauty, and charm. Well, Clown Mask took care of her. She subtly got rid of the old orphanage headmaster without alerting Cirlce and replaced her with the current headmaster. Believing that she would be the perfect guardian for Cortney. Even though Clown Mask had abandoned Cortney, she regularly checked on her and silently helped her from the shadows.

Figuring out an action plan to find more people like her headmaster, Cortney felt she had done half of the job for Wyatt, now all Wyatt had to do was find a way to implement it and make sure it gave the promised result. For someone who was called the Hope of the South, Cortney believed this should be a simple task not worth mentioning. Excited, she grabbed Wyatt's shoulders from behind and shaking him vigorously, she said, "Come on, genius, show us what you got. I have shown you the way all you have to do is make it possible. I believe in you."

"Cortney, stop feeling my arms," Wyatt said and then turning to Diana he said, "Who do I complain about sexual harassment?"

"Wyatt, man up. All I did was pat your shoulders to motivate you. Besides you did not stop me," Cortney aggressively dismissed Wyatt's calm by victim-blaming.

Yes, Cortney excitedly grabbed Wyatt's shoulders and shocked them at first but then feeling his well-defined muscles, her arms slowly descended to the back of his upper arms and she began to feel his triceps. Wyatt even felt her sensually squeezing them. The only other person to make him so cautious was Anna, now that was locked up training, he did not want Cortney to fill the gap. He needs to nip this in the bud.

"She is not a Fine Gold employee so I cannot be of help to you boss. But you can try the local authorities but good luck proving that she sexually harassed you," Diana said helplessly, but her eyes stayed glued to Cortney's hands that were still feeling up her boss's triceps. She could not believe that Cortney was so bold and had the galls to defend herself by victim-

blaming while continuing the act she was blamed for. Her actions led Diana to wonder if Cortney was in heat.

"Let go of my arms already," Wyatt shook his shoulders in annoyance. He could not believe Cortney would be so shameless. Well, it was not a surprise considering how open she was about her dress and sexuality.

"Boss, I have a better, faster, and hassle-free idea. Tell this to Her Highness Southern Emperor or Manager Susan, they will take care of her," Cindy suddenly proposed. Diana agreed it was a good idea to let the lionesses protect their meat.

*Ahem* Cortney cleared her throat to gather everyone's attention. "Guys, I was just joking with Wyatt. Who knew he could not take a joke? Tsk," Cortney said condescendingly. Then, she continued saying, "Besides, aren't we losing sight of the important matter here? Wyatt, now the ball is in your court. You have to find kind people like the Headmaster to govern the orphanages we open in other cities. Something like this should be simple for you right?"
