“Damn, I seriously underestimated the VR-Universe and Dalton Wyatt. To think one could dominate the world without brawns but brains alone. This boy is playing on another level. What astonishes me more is that the world leaders are still not on to him and his plan. I think before they realize what he is up to it will be too late for them to act, the boy would have already won,” the demigod in charge of finance sighed, learning that by providing free knowledge and cheaper item recipes and martial arts VR-Universe was winning over the love of the poor card apprentices.
“Yes, you couldn’t be more correct,” Luna agreed with her demigod colleague believing they finally understood the brilliance of the boy.
“Great, all that will soon be ours and be put to a greater cause when we capture the boy,” another demigod chimed in. The other demigods cheered when they heard this.
“What the hell?” Luna was baffled to see that colleagues continued to underestimate the boy because of his small age and realm.
How could they continue to underestimate the boy who has created a way for him to become a ruler without the land, natural resources, and strength? Don’t they see if they failed to capture the boy, he will become their strongest menace? How are they still so recklessly confident about this?
As these thoughts plagued Luna, she heard Henricks say, “You did good Luna.”
This was when she realized that her demigod colleagues did not underestimate the boy but their trust in Henricks was that strong. Henricks has never let them down, and logically the boy did not stand a chance against Henricks’ origin card. It was well suited for these kinds of missions.
Realizing this Luna’s nerves calmed down, and she began to aim for her agenda, “Henricks now that you know my investment plan is legit and shows promise, should you consider investing more in VR-Universe currency exchange?”
“Why would we do that? Soon we will capture the creator and ruler of the VR-Universe. When we can have the entire VR Universe, why struggle for loose change?” The demigods felt that any further investment in the VR Coins was moot as soon the creator of the VR-Universe will be their puppet and they will be the shadow rulers of the VR-Universe.
“Since Luna has figured out the true purpose of the VR-Slime card it will not be long before the government and other world leaders figure out the same. Honestly, they might already have. This changes everything,” Henricks, who knew how the organization behind the puppet government operated, did not underestimate them.
“What do you mean, Henricks?” one of the demigods asked Henricks, seeing the expression on his face suddenly change.
“I don’t know how but considering the development of the VR-Slime card so far, I think the central government is already out to get to the boy, we have to get to the boy before them” Hernicks speculated.
Hernicks believed the central government would kill the boy since they saw Sliver milk powder and the ‘soul energy digestion’ effect as a threat to their reign but now things have changed since he understood what actually VR-Universe was and how the central government can use VR-Universe to solidify their reign with no effort whatsoever.
The boy had created a perfect means for one to become a world power without waging a war, and something like that would definitely interest the central government or any other world leader.
Listening to Henrick’s words the meeting Hall suddenly fell silent realizing the issue was not whether they could capture the boy but whether they could capture the boy before the other world leaders, especially the central government.
“Damn it,” one of the demigods yelled in anger and slammed the oval stone table in frustration.
“Luna, check with your people and see if there is a way for us to act now. I want Wyatt in yellow plains as soon as possible,” Baylor demanded. He was no longer as calm compared to when he took pride in what Ellen’s son was capable of and had achieved. Now, all he cared about was to get the boy to safety as fast as possible, that was next to him in the yellow plains.
“You don’t need to remind me I am doing just that,” Luna snapped back. She became moody realizing that the boy might be captured by the central government and she will never get to see him. Robbing the world and her of his great intellect forever.
“So what did they say?” a demigod asked Luna impatiently. They trusted Henricks to do the impossible but when it comes to facing the central government they believed it was best if they proceed with caution.
“Geez, I just contacted them. Give them a moment to gather the required information, will you,” Luna and the demigods were on edge as the boy was the answer to most of their problems. Having the boy on their side would help them achieve their cause faster. Especially since the boy was the key to owning the VR-Universe, a weapon to dominate the world without waging wars and causing unnecessary genocide.
“What do you mean? They haven’t rathered the information already?” the demigod snapped back at Luna.
“How can they already gather the information when I just asked them to gather the information?” Luna yelled while giving the demigod a look as if said, ‘You dumb or what?’
“You— did you not let your people monitor the boy once you knew what his VR-Universe was capable of? Honestly, you should have come to us with this information once you had figured out the secret of VR-Universe yet you did not. If the boy gets captured by the central government I am blaming you,” the demigod blamed Luna for being willful and her willfulness costing the freedom fighters big time.
The demigod strongly felt that if Luna had come to them when she had gotten the information about VR-Universe they would have been ahead of this than the central government. However, he failed to realize that it has not been that long since the VR-Universe was released to the world.
Luna’s expression suddenly worsened, giving the demigod impression that he had managed to shut Luna up but his expression solidified when he heard Luna say, “The central government has already made their move. They have sent Professor Orian from MorningStar University to give Wyatt early admission to their University with a full scholarship. However, there is a catch, Wyatt has to clear a one-on-one interview conducted by Professor Orian for that. I think this is their bait to lure Wyatt out of the Southern royal palace, giving them the perfect opportunity to capture the boy.”
