Date- 13 April 2321
Time- 11:59
Location- Southern Region, Blossom District, Sky Blossom City, Outskirts
While Susan was consoling Corey, Wyatt was using his information network to search for any information related to Handsome Fox and Devil/Demon Merchant. However, all his searches ended up with no results it was as if the code name Handsome Fox was a ghost there were no traces of him in the grimoire network his Hive AI could access using the Superbrain card and VR-universe.
The search results of Devil / Demon merchants yielded many results however most of them were just spam. After sorting through them what remained was a legend about a group among the Demons and Devils that call and identify themselves as Demon/devil merchants. The information regarding this group of demons and devils was surprisingly positive, as they were considered to be easier to trade with compared to other groups of demons and devils.
Wyatt combed through everything there was on the grimoire network that he could access and did not find any mention of the devil merchant code or how a card apprentice could become a Demon/Devil merchant. It was not surprising considering that the dark races were very secretive about the devil merchant code and hated the fact that the devil merchant code extended its invitations to any race in the Myriad Realms.
This was apparent why Belphegor believed Wyatt used the devil merchant code to seal the plague egg but did not dare to mention it in front of Henricks, Joy, and Colleen. When the dark races kept this matter a top secret how did the demigod that ambushed Susan know that the card apprentice could be a demon/devil merchant? And why did they claim that if not for the demigod Handsome Fox's plot they could have become devil merchants in another century?"
Many questions plagued Wyatt's mind but he did not have answers for them, except for the information he gained for Zaltan Librarian Jr. that the card world had gained a new demon merchant and a devil merchant. Wyatt felt that these two incident had a connection with each other. But he was lacking information to piece it all together.
However, one thing was clear from all this whoever ambushed Susan knew Wyatt was a demon merchant. They wanted to kidnap Susan and exchange her not for his VR universe or other inventions but for the demon merchant recommendation quota that every demon merchant receives every decade.
Wyatt wondered who were these five demigods who knew the information about how a card apprentice could become a demon/devil merchant when the royal families and central government had no idea that a card apprentice could become a demon/devil merchant.
Soon Susan resumed her story, narrating the incident. Wyatt paused his contemplation and heard words carefully not daring to miss a single word as he realized that he was not facing an old enemy or the villains from Clown Mask's future vision but new and unknown enemies.
These enemies were calculative and had a long reach, they knew exactly when the Central government would attack the Southern Royal family when even the Morningstar University and Sansa were not aware of it. Wyatt believed of the five demigods one or all of them must be hiding deep within the central government. This would explain how they knew the exact time the Central government force would launch their attack on the Southern royal family.
However, Wyatt's speculation changed when he heard that Handsome Fox used one of his party members to kill the other three party members and disposed of the last party member too without much struggle.
After listening to the whole incident it was clear that it was Handsome Fox who had implanted the hypnotic suggestion in Bloodette after he had disposed of all his party members and collected their broken divinity and diamond grimoire.
Wyatt felt that Baem's arrival at Susan and the rest's rescue might have been too perfect. Baem did not make it in time to save them, she only came when Handsome Fox left hypnotic suggestions deep in Cortney, Bloodette, Susan, and Corey's consciousness. With his work done Handsome Fox decided to escape instead of facing the monster snake.
Handsome Fox had a good head on his shoulder, he understood the presence of the demigod realm monster snake deep inside the southern region could only mean one thing that it belonged to the Southern Royal family as a demigod realm monster would never make it past or go unnoticed under the array formation covering the southern region.
This was why Handsome Fox chose to escape without caring for the survival of Susan and the rest. Though Handsome Fox was wrong about the monster snake's origin, he was right about one thing, Beam was able to make it to the Sky Blossom City without obstruction under the array formation covering the Southern region because Colleen allowed her to.
With this Wyatt was one hundred percent certain that Handsome Fox had tempered with Susan and Corey's consciousness but what bothered Wyatt the most was that Susan and Corey had no idea that the Handsome Fox had left behind a hypnotic suggestion deep within their consciousness just like he did in Bloodette's consciousness.
Wyatt held a shiver of hope that Baem had seen through the hypnotic suggestion planted in Susan and Corey's consciousness and removed it but he knew that was not the case because if Baem had done that for Susan and Corey she would have done the same for Cortney and Bloodette. But seeing how Bloodette detonated her blood rule body it was clear Baem too was unaware of what Handsome Fox had done to them.
For now, Wyatt prioritized figuring out how to get close to Susan and Corey without revealing his identity so he could get a good look at what the Handsome Fox had done to their consciousness. Which would allow him to find the solution for it in the infinity library. Once Susan was safe he would be free to deal with the unknown enemy, Handsome Fox.
