"She fits the bill of an honest fool," Wyatt replied answering Dan, however, the turn of events was not something he planned. He just did what he thought would get Aurelia off him but she remained stuck to him taking her sweet time to consider the compromise he offered her.
Listening to Wyatt, the employees nodded in unison agreeing that Aurelia was an honest fool. During their visit to the orphanage to meet Wyatt, Aurelia had managed to become acquainted with all the employees from Fine Gold. They all had a good impression of her. In some ways, she became a bridge for the young people from the Bright Lions to get along with the experienced people from the Fine Gold. This was why when Wyatt arrived at the Gymnasium they appeared like one crowd instead of two separate groups.
"Boss, I don't like it when you call me a fool but since you called me honest too I will let it go," Aurelia informed, she has been upfront about her dislike of being called a fool or other similar words but her boss kept calling her a fool. He reminds her of her annoying Elder brother. She just wanted to thrash him but her martial artist instincts told her she would die before her punch even landed at him. As such she was learning the meaning of the words 'Don't meet your heroes' the hard way but just like how she learned to love her elder brother she also found a way to love her boss. The fact that her boss was a lot stronger than she thought made it easier.
"Just let go of me already," Wyatt said, trying hard not to lose his patience with Aurelia.
"Fine boss, for now, I will just be satisfied with fixing my physique," Aurelia said, letting go of Wyatt's waist. Standing up as she dusted herself, Aurelia could not help but say, "Boss, I like your fragrance."
Dan who was standing next to her slapped his forehead helplessly letting out a deep sigh. After all, Aurelia was only able to enter the Bright Lion gang based on his recommendation. So he felt responsible for every stupid thing she did. Honestly, when his parents said his distant cousin was coming from the main branch to join the Bright Lions gang he thought it would be someone stuck up who would get him in trouble with their arrogance but he never expected to get in trouble because of their stupidity.
"I am starting to hate your guts," Wyatt said, finding Aurelia intolerable. To the point where he wondered why he chose to help her in the first place.
Nah, not because of the Field Marshal, he planned to help her even before the Field Marshal asked him to. It was because he was blown away by Aurelia's costume. Wrapped in bandages under her tuxedo, she appeared like a hero from one of those comics back on earth causing him to instantly take an interest in her. Learning about her quirky physique he grew more interested in her and learning that the pathogen in Marcy's body could help her he decided to help her.
And also a part of him wanted to lock Aurelia and Aba in a room and see what happens. They had identical honest and foolish personalities but Aurelia was a bit shameless like a thug and Aba was a bit upright like a hero. Wyatt could not help but wonder what happened to Aurelia in Clown Mask's future vision, maybe because of the stubborn pursuit of body reinforcement martial arts to get stronger she succumbed to the the quirky nature of her physique.
"You remind me of my elder brother," Aurelia retorted.
"Just shut up, and let us get over this," Wyatt said in annoyance, and summoning his grimoire he said, "Send me a party invitation so we can begin."
"Boss, I admire what you have done but when I become strong I will thrash you," Aurelia said sending Wyatt a party invitation.
"What the fuck is wrong with you? Why would you say something like that to someone who is helping you become strong? Aren't worried in the slightest that they will not help you but punish you or even kill you? What is going on in that muscle brain of yours?" Dan yelled anxiously feeling that Aurelia would be the death of him.
"Dan, relax. Boss has a tough exterior but he is not petty enough to do something like that. Am I right, Boss?" Aurelia asked Wyatt with a bright smile.
Looking at Aurelia's smile, the corner of Wyatt's mouth twitched, and he replied, "You know what, I am that petty—"
However, before Wyatt could complete his sentence, Aurelia immediately got back on her knees, and exaggeratedly prostrating in front of Wyatt, yelled interrupting him, "Boss, please forgive me for I have sinned. I am willing to swallow pins and needles to redeem myself."
"Hahaha," the Field Marshal who was keenly watching from the side, looking at Aurelia's antics laughed like there was no tomorrow. She wasn't alone who found this funny. The older employees from Fine Gold, Diana, and Cindy, every one of those who considered Aurelia as their cute little junior found that this was funny. But unlike the Field Marshal, they all controlled their laughter knowing that it might tick off their boss.
"For someone who is brutally honest you have no spine do you," Wyatt said looking at Aurelia who was prostrating in front of him while rubbing her head on the floor.
"Boss, my mother said I am pure like river water so I should learn to be flexible like the river itself," Aurelia informed.
"That's a clever analogy, your mother was smart, to begin with. She would have made a good general if she had not chosen to replace your great grandfather at the border city," the Field Marshal spoke listening to Aurelia. She seemed to have recalled her time with Aurelia's mother.
