"So, this is your dad, huh," Wyatt was exasperated with Demigod Norley. So, he chose to ignore him and his outrageous remarks.
Wyatt no longer bothered to explain himself to Demigod Norley as trying to do so was pointless since he was purposefully further indulging in the misunderstanding to get his way. Wyatt did not think Demigod Norley planned this from the start, but even when his misunderstanding was cleared he shamelessly decided to continue with it to use it to get what he wanted.
"Ignore him, his condition is getting worse with his age," Jill did not exactly know what was her father doing here but based on what happened so far she could guess it all and decided not to dig into it as she did not want to lose further respect for her father.
"How dare you two ignore me? Let me tell you something, back in my day sex before marriage was considered a sin. You two should be happy that I am not old school. However, you two need to tie the knot now that you guys did the deed," Demigod Norley could see that his Daughter had fallen for Wyatt. It was written all over her face. So he did not mind being a villain if it helped her case.
"Dad, stop it. You are embarrassing me," Jill could not believe she was having this conversation with her father in front of the love of her life. She would not mind tying the knot with Wyatt, but she knew that Wyatt was not in the same place in their relationship as her, and pushing him would only make it difficult for her to continue with the charade of being his friend and close confidant.
"I am embarrassing you, young lady you are the one disgracing our family by engaging in intercourse before marriage. Boy, you better take responsibility for what you did or else," as Jill's father Demigod Norley could be her wingman in limited ways. One of them was a pushy and conservative father who spoke rude words to shine light on topics that she as a lady could not put forward to her love interest.
"Dad!!! I am begging you, will you please stop embarrassing me? It's so humiliating that I have to talk to you about this. Wyatt and I are just friends and nothing more," Jill yelled at the top of her voice, hoping to erase her father's words with her loud voice. However, words once spoken cannot be taken back.
"Now you are feeling ashamed. Where was your shame when you had sex with him, a rude boy with no filter to his mouth whatsoever??And young lady, what have I taught you? A boy and a girl can never be friends. How can you claim otherwise when you two played with each other in your birthday suits?" Demigod Norley yelled. It seems all that shouting has finally made him a little honest about what he was feeling. He was happy that his daughter found someone she liked but he was not happy that her someone was Wyatt. He felt Wyatt was not worthy of her dedication and love. He felt she could do better. noVe/lb(1n
"Dad, since you won't shut up about it. I will just leave and don't you follow me," Jill was enraged seeing her dad repeatedly humiliate her in front of the love of her life despite her repeatedly begging him to stop. In a fit of rage, she turned to leave. Before leaving she grabbed Wyatt by his left wrist saying, "Wyatt, come let us leave."
"Okay," Wyatt was startled but he chose to follow Jill since he knew it was the only way Demigod Norley would leave him alone. Planning to return once Demigod Norley had left, he followed Jill to the city.
"Hiss," Little Beam nodded at Demigod Norley conveying that she had fun playing with him and would love to continue their game some other time. Then bidding goodbye to him she reduced her size and followed Wyatt to the city.
...
When Wyatt and Little Beam followed Jill to the City, a graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of Demigod Norley and said, "I can't believe that you would threaten the lives of millions of innocent citizens."
"Well, you have children you should know where I am coming from. For her, I will take the entire world hostage let alone a third-rate city," Demigod Norley replied.
The graceful figure was none other than Field Marshal Heatsend, as soon as she neared the Sky Blossom City's outskirts she received a soul whisper from Demigod Norley threatening to destroy the whole Sky Blossom City if she interfered in his conversation with Wyatt.
Field Marshal Heatsend fully deserved the title 'top ten strongest in the world' but her enemy was someone who carried a similarly scary title. Therefore she could not take his threat lightly. If Demigod Norley really decides to destroy the city, she could only helplessly watch it get destroyed after a long struggle.
However, she did not agree to his demand instead negotiated terms with him. Demigod Norley can have his private meeting with Wyatt but he cannot harm Wyatt or his friends and family in any way. This was why Field Marshal Heatsend did not come to Wyatt's rescue. She knew regardless of what Demigod Norley said to Wyatt he would not go back on his word to her.
"Aren't you aware that the boy is already engaged to my grandniece?" Field Marshal Heatsend asked Demigod Norley emotionlessly.
"Little girl, don't fool yourself. Just because the boy accepted your grandniece's heirloom ring for his protection, it doesn't make him her would-be," Demigod Norley rejected Field Marshal's claim. He would watch his words in front of the ruler of the south but he did not take Field Marshal Heatsend seriously. He agreed that she was strong but he was stronger.
Glaring at Demigod Norley for his comment, Field Marshal Heatsend sternly said, "Get out of the south while you can."
