”Depends, if your contract with the Southern region is a normal one, under current circumstances, you have the power and authority to turn it void but if it was made under the witness of the worldʼs will, it will continue to remain valid regardless of your opinion,” Asong answered Wyatt with a grave expression because she did not believe the Southern Royal family would be foolish enough to make a normal contract over something so serious. This meant even with the support of the World Decree, Wyatt could not go back on his agreement with the Southern Royal family with the worldʼs will as a witness.

”I see,” Wyatt did not regret signing a contract with Anna under the witness of the worldʼs will because if not for that he could not have made it this far. Besides, its better this way because the thought that the Central Government had a way to render contracts created under the witness of the worldʼs will null scared him as much as the reality that they had a scary item card like the ʼWorld Decree.ʼ

From Agathaʼs version and Asongʼs version of the World Decree incident, Wyatt had deduced that the World Decree was some kind of a law enforced by the worldʼs will, as its name suggested.

Otherwise, it would be hard to understand why the Southern Rulerʼs incarnation agreed to the wager if the founder could not fulfill his end of the wager and why the rest of the world just agreed to the founderʼs declaration made using the World Decree without any opposition.

Seeing how even the world leaders were unable to oppose it, the item card World Decree could considered a level higher than the contract made with the worldʼs will as a witness.

This would explain a lot. Especially, why the world leaders no longer rallied to plunder the freedom fighters and also why they were willing to trade silver milk in the Freedom Fighterʼs territory. After all, if Wyattʼs guess about the application of the World Degree was true then trading anything related to Silver Milk Powder without Wyattʼs acknowledgment in the card world would be considered illegal.

So even if the World leaders get their hands on the stolen D-

rank silver beach gate dungeon looting the Freedom Fighters, they would not be able to trade amongst themselves as that would be illegal by the World Decree. No one world leader could loot the dungeon from Freedom Fighters, so they could not exempt the Wrold Decree under personal usage.

The World Leaders were not willing to make an enemy of Freedom Fighter just so one of them gets to keep the dungeon for their personal use or they will have to return it to their rightful owner if they want to gain the maximum profit from it. Neither of the choices was feasible so the World Leaders understood it was more profitable for them to trade with Freedom Fighters in their territory and bring the Silver Milk to the card world for personal use, circumventing the World Decree.

The more Wyatt contemplated based on this assumption the piece began to automatically fall into place. But one thing still did not make sense to him, why would the Freedom Fighters make a deal with Annaʼs mother? After all, thanks to the World Decree they no longer had to fear the World Leaders instead the world leaders had become their customers. What magical words did Annaʼs mother to get the Freedom Fighters to be willing to trade their golden goose with her?

”What is bothering you?” Asong asked Wyatt, she thought Wyatt had grasped a vague idea of what a World Decree was and was capable of but seeing him in deep thought she wondered if she overestimated him.

”You might have heard that the World Leaders have given up on pursuing the Freedom Fighters and are trading silver milk with them,” Wyatt pointed out, to which Asong said, ”That is old news, according to the latest news the Freedom Fighters have stopped trading silver milk but I have not idea why is that.”

”I donʼt know the details but I have recently learned that they have decided to give back the D-rank Silver Beach gate dungeon to the Southern royal family before closing the deal they contacted me to see if I am interested and start a bidding war between me and the Southern Royal family but I was occupied so I did not read their text until they have already made a deal with the Southern Royal family,” Wyatt truthfully informed to Asong, hoping she would help him shed some light on why the Freedom Fighters would do something so illogical.

”If what you are saying is true then this deal reeks of Annaʼs motherʼs involvement. Only she is capable of pulling off something like this. What could she have offered or threatened the Freedom Fighter with for them to agree to a losing deal,” Asong frowned, lost in deep thought. Contemplating Annaʼs motherʼs actions based on the information she had.

Asong was impressed by Wyatt, he had not only fully gathered what had transpired in the World Decree incident but he had begun to use it to understand the change in the world market. What surprised her more was that he had information that even she had not heard of but considering his close relationship with the Southern Royal family it was not a surprise that he had this information before her.

”Speak of threats, tell if this would work. What if Annaʼs mother threatened the Freedom Fighters that she would share the ownership of the D-rank Silver Milk dungeon with the other world leaders or worse with the central government, giving enough incentive to the world leaders or the central government to make a move against the Freedom Fighters, then the Freedom Fighters while be left with little choice but to go with the lesser of two evils?”
