Location- Reverse Dungeon, Yellow Plain Planet, Freedom Fighterʼs Base

”I did not know my grand-aunt was strong enough to threaten you,” Luna said hearing Henricks claim that the reason why he did not capture Wyatt sooner was because of Colleen. Then she pointed out, ”It hasnʼt even been a year since she became a demigod. A few weeks ago Matron almost killed her using a bunch of card semi-demigods and card emperors. So, freaking help me understand how can someone who just became a demigod be of any threat to someone like you, one of the worldʼs top demigods.”

”How the freaking am I supposed to know? I just saw a card master wipe the floor with a devil who killed not one but four teams of demigods. Besides with legacy and resources of the Heatsend Royal family, comparing her progress to a regular demigodʼs progress would be unfair. Not to mention your grand aunt was known to be a combat genius gaining the Soldier Queen title,” Henricks defended himself.

How was he supposed to know how Colleen became that strong? If he knew how then that would be a whole new problem, he could never walk the card world because the moment his presence appears on the card world Southern Ruler will have his head for infringing on his wiveʼs privacy.

However, he did not explain to Luna that he was not sure who was in the space vestige belonging to the Southern Royal family until Colleen should herself, for all he knew it would have been the princess or the prince of the Southern region in the space vestige. The Freedom Fighterʼs network did say that the prince was at the Way Beyond guarding it and the Princess was in the Western Region talking diplomatic relationships. Yet, considering the importance of Wyatt and his VR-Universe he chose to be cautious over blind confidence.

The prince and princess of the Southern Region like their father and aunt were also blessed with the pure Unparalleled Bloodline and were very difficult to handle. Either one of them could not only give Henricks the run for the money but if well-prepared they could kill him.

Knowing that he could come to kidnap Wyatt, the Southern Royal family had prepared to capture him, Colleen might even have been successful if not for the appearance of the mohawk devil. Instead of Colleen, if it was a demigod possessing Unparalleled Bloodline the whole battle at Southern Region would have happened differently.

However, for reasons only known to them the Heatsend Royal family prioritized the Dual Gate dungeon over Wyatt. If Field Marshal Heatsend was part of Wyattʼs security detail, the Central Government and Morningstar University might have given up on their collaboration.

The Heatsend Royal Familyʼs reason was simple, though the VR-Universe and Soul energy digestion effect cards of Wyatt were gaining traction it was only a matter of time before the Central government confiscated or banned them altogether. Even if they somehow stopped the Central government from doing so, these items belonged to Wyatt, and he did not like to share.

However, if they secured the dual gate dungeon, the money they would make through the trades and the taxes from those trades would be a sure thing and they would not have to share. So they basically prioritized a conventional means of making money over something that was not theirs to begin with.

”Do you know where in the countless worlds, a card king could question a card demigod like this,” being put on the stand by Luna, Henricks was growing tired of explaining himself to her.

”Well, isnʼt that the charm of the Freedom Fighters? Each one of us is equal, I am wrong? Were those words that you said when recruiting me just a false sales pitch to recruit me and nothing more?” Luna pointed out that she was just making the best use of the privileges of being a Freedom Fighter.

”Yep, but arenʼt you taking your Freedom to the extreme? Your freedom doesnʼt give you the right to infringe on my freedom or my authority as your leader. Do you understand what I am saying? I did what I felt was right according to the dynamic situation during the mission so stop wasting your time by investigating me and go set up the silver milk powder production line. Arenʼt you way behind the schedule?” Henricks as the leader of the Freedom Fighters knew how to handle a smart mouth like Luna. Otherwise, this whole secret revolutionary force would not have been possible.

”...” Luna quietly glared at Henricks, wreaking her brain to vent her agitated emotions.

Shutting Luna up, Henricks turned to Baylor and asked, ”How far have you come in establishing a safe, working, and fast supply and distribution network?”

”It is a total blood bath,” Baylor answered without thinking as most of his thoughts were occupied with the safety of Wyatt.

However, he knew that Wyatt was in safe hands for now so he should not neglect his duties, hence he went on to explain, ” Our people are still having a hard time trusting each other after Matron awakened her sleeper spies in our forces to kill their families and core members. From what I see they are more afraid of them or their loved one being a spy of Matron than facing a spy of Matron. That incident has really messed up the morale of our people.

Meanwhile, the members of the paw clan are very aggressive and ambitious, so much so that they do not appear to fear pain or death. They do not seem to have any sense of guilt or compassion as if they are soulless. Our guys are being massacred out there. If you ask me we should temporarily withdraw our forces, give up on the Central regionʼs market, and focus on markets in other regions until we figure out a solution to counter Matronʼs origin card.”

”Finding a way to counter Matronʼs Origin card thatʼs easier said than done,” Luna suddenly spoke up.
