"I don't understand," Corey's brain was overloading trying to understand what Handsome Fox was after.
"Leave the thinking part for me, you will give yourself a headache trying to understand this. All you need to do is protect Susan while I am away, I have got this," Wyatt a.s.sured Corey looking at the sky about the Sky Blossom City.
Soon it turned dark as if a thunderstorm was about to form but vanished after a few figures appeared out of it. Witnessing such a sight, Corey frowned and said, "Tell me they are demiG.o.ds from the Southern Royal family."
"Yes, they are," Wyatt said with a grin, understanding that the reason why Handsome Fox had to lure Susan and the others out of the city and ambush them at 9:45 inside a s.p.a.ce isolation and expansion array formation was because of the reinforcement of the Southern Royal family. Even though Handsome Fox had taken care of the demiG.o.d protecting Susan, he could not bypa.s.s Lorenzos's SSS-rank City array formation which would signal the Southern Royal family of any unknown power entering the city. This was why he chose to ambush Susan at 9:45 such that even if by any unforeseen events his ambush on Susan was to be exposed, with the Southern Royal family under the attack they could not send reinforcements to protect Susan.
"Why are you grinning?" Locating Wyatt, Colleen directly rushed to his front to find him grinning.
"What took you so long? I almost thought you guys did not make any arrangement to send reinforcement to this city when needed," Wyatt asked Colleen. When he called Ann to give her an ultimatum he expected the forces of the Southern Royal family to rush to Sky Blossom City, however, time pa.s.sed and none of them showed up. This was when Wyatt thought the Southern Royal family only arranged one demiG.o.d to protect Susan and made no arrangements for reinforcements, prompting him to wonder if this were the case what stopped Handsome Fox from ambushing Susan in the city?
However, seeing them arrive late Wyatt understood he concluded too soon. The Southern Royal family had made arrangements to send reinforcement to the Sky Blossom City if needed, only they were delayed this time.
"With the Southern Capital city's array formation destroyed, we needed all hands on deck to restore it using the golden gate array formation. The whole city has been restored and the people can continue with their daily life. As for the valuables the people lost, the royal family will reimburse them," Colleen explained to convey to Wyatt that she could not arrive sooner because she was busy helping the city resume its regular way. Then she added, "Plus you have already proven you can take care of yourself so… you get it, right?"
Then as if having thought of something, Colleen hurriedly said, "This does not mean we do not regard your friend's life is not as important."
"It's fine but did you guys really get the city array up and running again?" Wyatt did not criticize Colleen for prioritizing the needs of her citizens.
Wyatt remembers the state of the Southern Capital city when he left for Yellow Plains. It was amazing how the Southern Royal family had the whole city up and running in a matter of a few hours. Well with an army of demiG.o.ds and a SSS-rank array with restoration ability, this was not hard.
However, he could not believe they had Southern Capital's city array formation restored. How was that even possible for them to repair such a big array in a few hours?
"Our ancestors had foreseen the day something like this would happen and had contingencies in place to not leave the city defenseless when it happened," Colleen said seemingly adoring the foreknowledge of the Heatsend Royal family to prepare ahead for such situations.
"I see," Wyatt was not surprised hearing Colleen's explanation. After all, with the long history of the Heatsend Royal family it would be surprising if they were not prepared for such a situation.
This was one of the reasons why a revolutionary force like the Freedom Fighters could never take on the Central Government and the royal families that have been ruling this world for millenniums. The power and resources they acc.u.mulated throughout their rule were not to be underestimated.
If not for the birth of the three mischiefs with overpowered abilities, the central government and the royal families would have continued to rule this world for the millenniums to come.
"Ann, will soon be sending you the report you asked for. At risk of being rude, may I know who died?" It was the duty of the Southern Royal family to protect Wyatt's people, now one of them had died and they were not only not aware of the death but also did not know who died. They had failed to do their duty on so many levels that Colleen was embarra.s.sed to even have to ask this question to Wyatt.
"It's Cortney and Bloodette," Wyatt answered.
"Two of them, that to the Tao of Tongue and the Blood Supreme, how is it possible? The demiG.o.ds guarding the city said that they saw both of them return to the dungeon seal. Who can kill them within the dungeon seal?" Colleen asked in shock and disbelief. As Cortney and Bloodette were last people Colleen would think to be murdered. After all, they could use the dungeon seal to hide, unlike Wyatt's other friends who were defenseless.
One of the reasons why Colleen could not figure out which friend of Wyatt had died was because the demiG.o.d guarding the city said that all of Wyatt's people were safe and sound believing Cortney and Bloodette were safe in the dungeon seal.
"In my investigation, I have come to learn that the attacker has a manipulation-type ability…" Wyatt then went on to share his findings with Colleen so that they would search for Handsome Fox while he searched for the devil merchant as they were one and the same but at the same time one was the creation of the other.
