“Baylor, why did you not capture the boy when you had the chance?” arriving in the secret base Henricks did not bother to disclose his secret identity to his disciple and instead blamed him for not kidnapping his target.
“I see now,” Baylor immediately figured out his master’s secret identity based on the past events that seemed too good to be true. Hiding that he was a freedom fighter from his wife and work while juggling between his two identities wasn’t easy but thanks to his mentor’s special treatment he never found it challenging. Now he knew his mentor was not giving him special treatment but instead providing assistance to complete the task assigned to him. Having figured out that his mentor was the mysterious leader of the Freedom Fighters, it all made sense.
“Kid, answer me why?” Henricks repeated himself.
“I felt the southern royal family will a safer place for him than here,” Baylor did not lie, he genuinely felt that the southern royal family would take better care of the boy than the freedom fighters.
Though Baylor has been a part of the freedom fighters for a long time and supports what it stood for believing that it could one day change the world with its ideologies. He still didn’t think that it was the best fit for Ellen’s son as he did not want him to lead a life in hiding. Not to forget, seeing how the southern emperor willingly risked her own life to protect the boy, Baylor saw the same undying love he had for Ellen in the Southern emperor for that boy. Therefore, he decided that for now, he should not interfere in the boy’s life.
“Y-you are as stubborn as always,” Henricks knew that yelling at Baylor for not kidnapping the boy would do no good so he just gave up and turned to look at unconscious Luna on the ground. Then he said, “Luna wake up, your cover is blown. There is no need to continue the act.”
The unconscious Luna’s body propped itself up and then opened its eyes in a ghastly manner. Then a light of wisdom shone in its eyes as if Luna’s consciousness regained control over its body. Then Luna spoke, “How? I did not leave behind any clues.”
“Sorry, it was my mistake, I gave it away. I should have known your grandmother will not give preferential treatment even to her own flesh and blood,” Henricks said shaking his head having learned that the royals were very demanding of their blood. One way or the other he would get the silver beach gate dungeon card but Field Marshal Heatsend would rather see him take the card from Luna’s corpse than her willingly giving him the card.
“Well, I figured as much. Grandma will sacrifice anything for the honor of the family. If not for that this mission would not have been a success. Besides, though it feels good to finally meet in person, and without those masks covering our faces your identities surprise me the most. I would have never guessed that the mysterious leader of the Freedom Fighter was a corrupt field marshal and the strictest commander of the freedom fighter was the youngest general in the government they plan to overthrow. Well, I guess it is not that shocking when compared to me betraying my flesh and blood,” Luna did not seem to be bothered by the fact that her cover was blown, she act like fish in water, among the freedom fighters. Luna was the prime example of the betrayal people were capable of.
“Haha” Henricks and Baylor let out awkward laughs not wanting to talk about their undercover work as it would put a strain on their relationship. Especially, when Henricks knew of Baylor’s double identity all along while Baylor had no clue about Henricks being the mysterious leader he followed.
Seeing the two behave awkwardly, Luna took the hint that they did not want to talk about their undercover work so she changed the topic by asking, “I don’t know about you guys but I need Dalton Wyatt. I need his assistance with my empty space project and without his assistance in creating the improved Memirconium, the project MegaMorphers I proposed will not be possible.”

“That is not possible if you want your people to be armed with MegaMorphers, then we need him as he has the card recipe for the creation of MegaMorpher cards. Asides from that, I have been working on the empty space project for decades but I am stuck and out of ideas however with his origin card, we might find new leads,” Luna continued to argue good points as to why they needed the boy despite the resistance from Baylor.
“Baylor, shut up. If our army has any chance of standing against the armies of the royal families, central region nobles, and the government, then it is with them equipped with the MegaMorpher cards. And don’t forget the empty space project is very detrimental to our people’s survival in these other worlds. There is no denying that we need the boy. But right now our priority should be to set up a production house and a supply route for the silver milk power.
Luna, you are in charge of setting up the production line for the silver milk powder.
Baylor, you are in charge of setting up a supply chain for the silver milk powder.
I am trusting you both to cooperate on this silver milk powder project and help each other. Once we have gathered enough capital to fund the empty space project and the MegaMorpher project, it wouldn’t be late for us to reach out to the boy. Until then we have our work cut out for us,” Henricks did not bother to entertain the arguments made by Baylor or Luna instead he assigned them their work while suggesting that though this mission was a success there was still a long way ahead for the Freedom Fighters to take into account.
