Wyatt could not think of any reason why the Southern Royal family would be so bold to build a manufacturing line for Silver Milk Powder so openly, he thought they were smarter than considering what was happening to the Freedom Fighters who tried to openly monopolize the Silver Milk Powder.
What was puzzling was that the order to build the Silver Milk Powder manufacturing factory in the industrial area of the Southern Capital was given yesterday afternoon a few hours after I revealed my arrival in the sky blossom city to the Southern Royal family. That was to say that something changed after he foiled the plans of the Central Government, Morningstar University, Matron, and after he defeated Belphegor. Something that gave the Southern Royal family the a.s.surance they needed to work on their plans for the Silver Milk Powder monopoly openly.
Wyatt used his information network to go through everything that occurred around the world after his victory in the Battle of Southern Capital. But nothing had changed as only a few were aware of the fight since all the parties involved in this battle chose to keep this matter on low. Especially the Southern Royal family as they did not want the world to think that the Southern Royal family was not competent or the Southern Capital wasn't a safe place.
Therefore, Wyatt did not find anything that would prompt the Southern Royal family to be bold about their plans for the Silver Milk Powder. He turned to look at Colleen who was busy comprehending blood rule, he had so many questions he wanted to ask her yet he controlled himself from rudely disturbing her practice.
Wyatt stopped his mind from wandering and thinking the worst. But it was hard for him not to wonder why the Southern Royal family did not tell him about their move. He did not know what to think of their actions especially, with the Silver Milk Powder bringing their doom upon the Freedom Fighters.
Shaking his head, Wyatt prepared to leave the VR universe but stopped seeing a message from Ned arrive in his virtual account he paused to read it. VR universe Instant message service allowed players to talk to each other in the VR universe using their grimoire's contact list as long as the person they were trying to reach also had a virtual account in the VR universe.
[Wyatt, I agree that I underestimated you. Let us meet up and have a proper discussion.
-Ned]
Reading the message from Ned Wyatt felt no sincerity from him. So, he decided to ignore it and wait until the desperation of their situation forced them to cultivate a more genuine and sincere att.i.tude toward him. Considering that the world leaders were getting impatient, he would not have too long. Making it easier for him to get the Freedom Fighters to submit to him as his hired thugs.
Wyatt respected their game but that did not mean that he would forgive and forget what they did to him so easily.
Before leaving Wyatt decided to take a moment to sort his virtual inbox which was filled with messages from people seeking to cooperate with him in different ways with the help of Hive AI. It was not clear how these people got his contact ID but they were smart enough to not directly contact his grimoire and instead contacted Wyatt through the VR Universe. After all, it was not hard for a smart person to know that Wyatt's grimoire was under the constant surveillance of the Southern Royal family.
Wyatt did not directly delete all messages but decided to go through them because he felt that he could no longer delay his plans to build his force that would help him stand equal to the Southern Region. He was about to swallow the Freedom Fighters but they were not enough since they could not even defend themselves how can he expect them to defend him, It be lond be for they would be of any use to him.
Wyatt wanted to sort the messages based on who wanted to genuinely cooperate with him and who wanted to use him. His information network made it easier for him to do so by allowing him to do a thorough background check on each of them and learn their real motives.
As of now, Wyatt does not plan to cooperate with people who genuinely want to work with him because he does not have the a.s.surance that he would be able to a.s.sist them if they were targeted because of him.
So Wyatt was after the people who approached him with the thought that they could use him to achieve their various motives. Wyatt was not worried about controlling these people as he had his Calamity Daughter Gems for this occasion. Its power was limited to Card Kings but that was enough for him to spread his influence among all the third-rate cities across the Five Regions.
After learning that the Southern Royal family did not involve him in their plans to open a silver milk powder manufacturing factory in the Southern Capital he started to feel the urgency of building his force.
Especially, with unknown enemies like Handsome Fox propping up, Wyatt knew he no longer had the time or luxury to slowly build his forces the righteous way with capable and talented people whom he could trust.
He too decided to choose the path the three Mischiefs used to build their forces that were strong enough to topple the Central government, the Four royal families, and the n.o.bles of the central region, making use of their origin cards.
Unlike Matron who was born with a golden spoon, the Supreme Leader and Emissary of Light who rose to power from dirt started building their forces by expanding their influence among the third-rate cities of the five regions and the slums of the empire. Similarly to them with the current limit of Wyatt's Calamity Daughter Gems, it would not be difficult for him to start his raise from the third-rate cities.
