"Do you want mom to know that we lost to an old hag even with help from the grand array formation? Mom will be unhappy. Ann, do you want to make mom unhappy?" Anna knew Ann better than anybody as she was the alter ego born from her trauma.

"Why are you saying we? You are the one who is losing to this elderly lady, not me." Ann corrected Anna sternly, reminding Anna that this fight had nothing to do with her.

Ann was very cautious towards her original self as she knew Anna was no good, every time she summoned her, she would some or the other way cheat her into helping her without any compensation. This time she was not buying into Anna's trickery. No matter what kind of trouble Anna was in.

"You know that I know that, but mom doesn't. So mom will believe what I tell her." Seeing that the ideal daughter was still not bending to her will through soft methods, Anna decided to turn her manipulation to the next level, blackmail.

"No, you wouldn't dare... you would be lying to our mother. Are you willing to go that far?" As an Ideal daughter, the concept of lying to her mother was evil and wrong in Ann's dictionary.

"Yes, I am. It's a pleasure to lie to our mother. I will enjoy it a lot. FYI, I indulge in this pleasure quite often." Every word of Anna's was meant to agitate Ann into submission.

"You… you, I am telling mom." Enraged, Ann did not know how to deal with Anna, so she decided to tattle about Anna to their mother.

"How? You are stuck in my grimoire, and I have blocked all your privileged access to my grimoire functions." Anna was well versed in handling her alter ego and had beforehand blocked her Alter ego's privileged access to her grimoire.

"Anna, I will help you, but in exchange, you are not allowed to lie to our mother anymore." Having been threatened by Anna's words, Ann decided to negotiate.

"No can do. How about I let you out for 12 hours instead?" Anna being rebellious-natured, hated Ann's girl scout attitude therefore mostly kept Ann locked in her card.

"No, how about you stop lying to our mother for the next 12 years? Promise me that, and I will help you." Ann, as a girl scout, took it upon herself to correct the ways of her original sinful self.

"Nope, not happening. I would die if I were not able to lie to our mother. Instead, I will let you out for 30 minutes for the next six days. How does that sound?" Anna believed if she were entirely truthful to her mother for a day, she would be killed by her mother in anger.

"No! How about you stop lying to our mother for six years?" Ann did not choose to compromise with Anna's proposal as it was not an enticing offer.

*Slap* "little slut, wake up and admit defeat. Please don't make me kill you. Because I will, as you have already wasted a lot of my precious time." Yin Widow slapped barely conscious Anna, captured and dragged to her by her undead demigods. Yin Widow did not know the criteria for admitting defeat.

As Anna and Ann negotiated mentally, Anna's physical body was captured by the four undead Demigods and dragged into Yin Widow. Being slapped by Yin Widow, Anna knew she had no choice but to give favorable conditions to Ann, or she would lose her life in Yin Widow's hand.

"Fine, you win. I will let you live outside for three months. That too in the royal palace. Think about it, will you be able to meet with our mother in the royal palace for three months?" Anna seeing her end near, decided to stop trying to take advantage of her Alter ego and try to survive for now.

"Um..." Ann purposefully decided to delay negotiation till now despite the tense situation outside because she knew her original self, though mischievous, she fried for her life like everyone else.

"Take it, or let's meet in hell." Seeing Ann still not consider her genuine offer, Anna decided to make her stand firm to help Ann decide as she was not willing to give more than state terms. That was her bottom line. Anyway, she would need her to help cross the river and to explore the vestige.

"Fine, 'Slow x10,000' " Ann agreed to Anna's final proposal and activated her card.

As soon as Ann activated her card, the world outside appeared to have paused or more like slowed down, Anna included.

"Why did you use this useless card? Just appear in the flesh and blast this old hag to blood rain." Anna knew the skill used by Ann was just a trick which increased the thought process of the user and allies.

"If I were to follow your plan, then we both would end up dead. I used this card to strategize." Ann explained her actions to her dumb ego, Anna.

"Who needs to strategize? Let's activate the possession skill and blast her out of this world." Anna was impatient, wanting to return the slap back to Yin Widow.

"Will you stay quiet for a second? Listen to me. There are only two ways we can harm her. Once she realizes what we are up to, she will put her guard up. If that were to happen, then we are done for. So shut up and do as I say." Ann was annoyed by Anna's brazenness despite having experienced a setback due to it.

"Oh, come on, what's there to discuss? As long as we kill her in one shot, she cannot return the damage to me." Anna had already noticed one of the loopholes to Yin Widow's Yin Harmony Curse without the help from her mother's bestowal card, or her alter ego.
