Clown Mask, being grabbed by the neck by an unknown man, was instantly rendered immobile from the neck down. She was defenseless and incapable of putting up a struggle. Her captor proceeded to pick her up by her neck like a rag doll however to his shock her body disintegrated in his hands like loose sand. The unknown captor was taken aback by experiencing such a bizarre outcome. "Ahhhh!" Clara who witnessed her friend being captured and then reduced to dust screamed Bloody Mary when her brain had fully registered and processed what she saw. As a mortal who had never been in a fight this was too much for her mind to handle. "Celestial Space Domain!" a chant reverberated across the entire Sky Blossom City as it was encased in with a celestial rule domain. The domain did not seem to hinder the day-to-day life of the average Joe and Jane in the city. However, the citizens and Clown Mask's captor were imprisoned within the domain. "Shit!" Being captured in the domain, the unknown criminal cussed aloud as in his daze he lost his window to escape, he had turned from a failed captor to a captive. Along with his frustration of being caught, he was annoyed by Clara's wailing and screaming. So, he explained to her, "Little girl, stop screaming. I am sure your friend is fine." "Really! You did not kill her?" Clara asked the culprit while sobbing, from what she saw she conferred that the unknown man in front of her killed her friend. However, her soul sensitivity triat told her that the man in front of her did not mean harm to her and was probably not lying. Yet, she could not get over what she just saw. It was too sudden and shocking. "No, why would I? I want her alive. I am sure she acted as bait to catch my dumbass," the criminal replied nonchalantly as he took a seat in front of Clara and got comfortable in her office. It seems he wasn't worried about being captured in the domain. "Bait, capture?" Clara uttered in confusion. She had no idea what the unknown man was talking about but hoped he was not lying to her about Clown Mask being alive. "If I were you, I would not be so relaxed, Henricks," Wyatt's voice sounded as he stepped into Clara's office along with Field Marshal and uninvited Corey who followed the Field Marshal for some reason. "Don't worry about me where's the girl?" Henrick dismissed Wyatt's warning and asked about Clown Mask's whereabouts. Right after him, Clara asked in concern, "Wyatt, Clown Mask, I saw this man turn her into ashes." She broke into tears as she recounted the incident. Looking at her like this neither Field Marshal nor Wyatt could believe she had the potential to become a saint. It seems even if Clara learns Clown Mask was fine she was going to have nightmares about this incident for a long time. "Clara, Clown Mask is fine and excited about the teaching gig, she will report to the orphanage tomorrow morning on time. Now could you lend me your office for a while?" Wyatt replied to Clara with a gentle smile assuring her that her friend was fine. "Okay, I will go check on the dinner arrangements," Learning that her friend was fine Clara's high emotions calmed down a bit but she still seemed to be shaken up by the incident. Her mind was all over the place as she slowly left the office. Walking out of her office, Clara paused, and turning to look at four in the office she asked, "Will you guys be joining us for dinner?" "Inviting the person whom you believe to have killed your friend for dinner, aren't you an interesting one?" Henricks teased Clara, and then seeing her frown he recanted, "I was kidding. Besides, I could never pass on a free dinner. I am in." Getting Henricks's confirmation Clara looked at Corey and Field Marshal for their answer. Seeing them nod, she turned and left. Seeing her leave, the Field Marshal commented on Henricks's actions with disgust, "You are old enough to be her great-grandfather." "Get your mind out of the gutter. I only find her interesting because there is something special about her presence, it is soothing. Is it related to her trait? You guys conveniently cut it from your 'Southern Hope' promotional video. Was her trait that shocking?" Henricks asked denying Field Marshal's claims about him hitting on Clara. Then, turning to Wyatt he said, "Excellent speech, I felt chills when you said 'You are the hope of the South.' Are you sure you do not want to join Freedom Fighters? Our cause and your vision for Southern Region have more in common than you think." "You sure have gotten a lot more talkative than last time I saw you, Henricks. Is it because our roles have been reversed?" Wyatt taunted Henricks, talking about the time when he was captive at the Freedom Fighter.
"You sure have gotten a lot more cockier kid. Is it because you think with her protecting you I cannot do anything to you? Besides, you were never a captive of the Freedom Fighters, but a guest," Henricks corrected Wyatt not just about him being a guest to the Freedom Fighters but also that just because he was the captive did not mean he was harmless. "Really? As I recall I had to escape from your headquarters," Wyatt remarked and warned, "If I were you I would not threaten my captors." "Oh yes, how did you do that? I did not know you were a fellow interdimensional traveler," Henricks asked, trying to figure out how Wyatt managed to leave the Yellow Plains realm and return to the Card World. "Interdimensional traveler. Does that mean there are others that can travel between different realms, other than the dark races of course?" Wyatt focused on the name Henricks unwittingly revealed. Henricks wasn't the type to waste time trying to think of a fancy name for himself, this name's origin might even predate him. Just the thought of there being another group that can travel between realms other than the demon/devil merchants made Wyatt curious. Especially considering that this group wasn't as notoriously famous as the dark races were in the myriad realms. "I never said that but does that mean you can also travel between realms?" Herincks did not want to reveal anything further without getting anything in return. Previously, Henricks and other captains of the Freedom Fighters believed Wyatt used some kind of top-rank teleportation card that the Southern Royal family gave him for his protection to return to the Card world but now he thought otherwise. This changes things. If Wyatt could travel between realms then he was more of a threat to Freedom Fighters than they previously deemed him to be.
