'All it takes for evil to win is for good people to do nothing.' These were some wise words, they fit the Earth but Wyatt believed that they would not fit the Card world. Rather these words would fit the Card World well instead, 'All it takes for good to triumph over evil is to get the bad people to do good deeds.'


Back on Earth, this would not be possible but here on the Card World, with Wyatt's calamity soul gem, it was not only possible, but Wyatt was willing to do it. Since the criminals here were not mostly driven by their unfortunate circumstances but by their hunger for power. Wyatt would not have any problem targeting people willing to forsake their humanity to quench their thirst for power.


Wyatt would be lying if he did not have another agenda to recruit the criminals in the ranks of the calamity daughter gems. With Gideon Grim helping Belphegor prepare an army of hypnotized Card apprentices, Wyatt believed it was time for him to create his army. His first choice as the target was the worst criminals across the card world. These people were not only strong, but they were a variable that needed to be dealt with before the second demon invasion if it were to happen.


So if Wyatt were to build an army of Calamity daughter gems using the worst criminals, not only would he be gaining strong pawns but he would be ridding the world of a variable and as a bonus, he can give Cortney the selfless people she was searching for to manage the orphanage that she was planning to open across various regions. They were not kind but they did what they were told without any hidden agenda besides they all had hive AI that they could use to properly manage the orphanage and guide the kids. Wyatt had long thought about building his army but until today he could not think of a fitting reason to act on it.


Wyatt needed a fitting reason to recruit criminals for two reasons,


i) The world leaders would not sit by as he built an army, let alone the Southern Royal family.


ii) Wyatt was gathering criminals under his banner, even if the world were to be okay with him assembling his army, they would not sit by if most of them were the most heinous demonic card apprentice the world has seen especially with his questionable association with Dark Realm.


Thanks to Diana, Cindy, and Cortney, Wyatt found a perfect reason to assemble his puppet army of heinous criminals. Once he realized this, Wyatt led the conversation to get conclusion that would help with his agenda. Especially with Field Marshal eavesdropping on their conversation, he had managed to beautifully set the stage to create this army under the disguise of the criminal rehabilitation and reintegration program.



Listening to Wyatt say he was willing to forgive the murder of his parents and give her a second chance, Diana and Cindy who were preparing to persuade him to change his mind gave up. Hearing him put it that way, they strongly felt they were in no place to tell Wyatt not to give other criminals a second chance. After all, Wyatt had given them a second chance.


Only someone who truly saw good in people could be willing to give people like them a second chance. Diana and Cindy looked at Wyatt in a new light, they no longer just admired Wyatt for his capabilities, prowess, and achievements but they started to worship him for his qualities.


Diana and Cindy no longer planned to persuade Wyatt against his plan to rehabilitate and reintegrate criminals into society but they wanted to help him with everything they had so he could succeed. They did not feel this way when Cortney called on them to help her with the orphanage issue but for some reason even without Wyatt asking them for their help, they had already resolved to do their best to help him.



As for the Field Marshal, she was shocked to hear Wyatt was not only willing to forgive Clown Mask but also give her a second chance. However, knowing the truth of Clown Mask's life she could not deny the fact that Clown Mask deserved a second chance. This suddenly made her scared, she finally understood why her father used to say that foolishness was infectious.


The Field Marshal could not believe that she almost started to believe in Wyatt's foolish idea of giving the heinous criminals who sold their humanity for power a second chance. Without their humanity they were no longer humans, they were no different from the monsters and demons, these people did not deserve a second chance they deserved death. This was why she said the following harsh words to Wyatt, 'Forget the criminals, you are beyond help.'


'Your Highness, I have decided. I hope you can help me inform the Southern Princess that I wanted Clown Mask released in my custody. Now that you guys have already copied her memories, I do not believe you imprisoning her after everything she sacrificed and did for the Card world would be fair,' Wyatt informed the Field Marshal. The Southern Royal family has been preparing for his meeting with Anna's mother for weeks now, but Wyatt would not let them have their way, he threw a bomb in their court with his criminal rehabilitation and reintegration program.


'Wyatt, have you gone insane? We will do nothing of that sort,' the Field Marshal declared with an authoritative tone.


'Your Highness, forgive me for my rudeness, but that is not for you to decide. Just pass my message to Her Highness the Southern Princess. I do not want her to be caught off guard when I bring this topic up during our meeting,' Wyatt replied politely. The Field Marshal was strong but never held the authority to act as a true decision-maker in the southern region, that power lay somewhere else entirely, in the hands of Anna's mother, the darling of the Southern Ruler.
