Despite all his contemplation, Henricks believed he would have fixed everything if not for the Clown Mask disintegrating in his hands. Now that was a key reason why the Field Marshal who was a few hundred miles above in the Sky Blossom City air s.p.a.ce was able to trap him. When the Clown Mask disintegrated in his hands Hernick first doubted if the Clown Mask was fake however when he had grabbed her by the neck and rendered her immobile from the neck down, it was enough evidence that she was the real deal and not some clone or incarnation. Therefore when she disintegrated into ash, he could not help but wonder if he had used too much power and ended up killing her as Clara thought. Just the thought that the only hope of the Freedom Fighters to make a comeback had died because of him sent Henricks down the dark places in his mind that he never knew existed. Henricks had weighed all his hopes on the future knowledge of the Clown Mask, for her to die due to his carelessness was more than a moment of shock for him, it was a devastating blow to his psyche. To see what remained of his hope was nothing but a handful of ashes was truly a horror for him. Hence, in his shock, he lost his window to escape using his ability. Therefore, Hernicks could not but grudgingly look at Wyatt and say, "The part where Clown Mask disintegrating in my hands was ingenious. I was taken by surprise."

"Thank you," Wyatt took Henricks words as a compliment thinking his calamity daughter gem and him disintegrating into ash never failed to surprise their opponents and was one of the most effective tricks up their sleeves. However, he could not help but ask Henricks, "What were you thinking when you came to kidnap Clown Mask? Did you never stop thinking that her future vision might no longer be accurate and in line with the current timeline?" "It was a gamble and I lost, can we move on please," Henricks wanted to change the topic as talking about it only hurt his pride. "..." Wyatt silently stared into Henricks's eyes without replying. "What is that you want?" Henricks broke the silence, seeing neither Wyatt nor the Field Marshal spoke for a few minutes. Learning that he had fallen for a trap that was not meant for him because of his impulsive action had seriously affected his mental fort.i.tude. Combined with his other worries he was in a weak state of mind, still he was a man who became one of the Field marshals of the Central region. He was not to be underestimated just because he showed signs of being in a vulnerable place, mentally. "..." Neither Wyatt nor the Field Marshal Heatsend responded to Henricks's question. They continued to observe him silently. Even Corey did not show any emotion ever since she followed the Field Marshal here, surprising the Field Marshal and Wyatt. They really could not figure out her thought process. However, they let her be not wanting to affect the atmosphere they had managed to create. Seeing Wyatt and Field Marshal were in no hurry to put forward their demands to him, Henricks let go of his act of appearing vulnerable and got comfortable on his seat knowing that neither of the people present here were fools. He figured understanding that and not resorting to silly tricks would get him out of this predicament quicker. Soon, after letting Henricks drown in his intrusive thoughts for a good while, Wyatt spoke up, asking, "What happens to the gates that you modified with your origin card after you die? Do they revert to their original parameters or remain modified?"

Listening to Wyatt's question Henricks's brows widened in horror. Regaining calm he soon asked, "Is that supposed to be a threat?" He waited but neither Wyatt nor Field Marshal answered him. They continued to stare at him blankly void of emotions, making it difficult for him to read their thoughts. He tried to get some clues from Corey using his intent sense however a strong ent.i.ty was masking her thoughts for her and warning him from repeating his attempts. Getting the feeling that the conversation would not go further if he did not answer Wyatt, Hernicks helplessly answered, "The dungeons modified by my origin card will remain modified even after my death."

"Interesting, that means your origin card might have the answer to how to turn a regular gate into a reverse dungeon," Learning that the change to the dungeon done by Henricks was permanent and not temporary, Wyatt contemplated that his origin card might be the key to understanding how to turn a regular dungeon into a reverse dungeon. Combined with Wyatt's knowledge of creating a dungeon Henricks origin card's ability to turn regular dungeon into a reverse dungeon would allow them to create a permanent inter-realm teleportation gate between two realms. Now that was an intriguing thought however, it was thought for another day, right now Wyatt was after something else. "Sure kid, my master and other founders also thought the same thing but they all ultimately failed to learn anything. Some knowledge is too profound for a mortal's grasp," Henricks said recalling how his master and other masters experimented on his origin card trying to figure out inter-realm transportation. However, Wyatt did not respond to Henricks's remarks. He did not agree with what he said mostly because he wanted to get into Henricks's head and make him mentally vulnerable as what he wanted from Henricks was going to be very tough for Henricks to agree on. Therefore, he wanted to get Henricks in a state where he felt that what Wyatt offered him was a pretty sweet deal to pa.s.s on.

After waiting for Wyatt to make a comment for a long and receive no reply, Henricks broke the silence in frustration, "Enough of the mind games kid, I have used them on others tons of times and know how this plays out. But, I bet you have better things to do than stare at this old man just as I do, just tell me what you want from me such that we can put this whole thing behind us. Is it the D-rank silver beach dungeon that you are after?"
