"Where's Ned? Did something happen to him? He'd never let you do something this reckless," Wyatt asked, narrowing his eyes. He knew Ned was the real brains behind the Freedom Fighters, while Henricks served more as their figurehead.
"Ned is missing. We haven't been able to reach him," Henricks admitted, his face darkening with worry. His shoulders slumped as he added, "It's been two days since he disappeared. It's like he just vanished off the face of Yellow Plains." Henricks hesitated for a moment before continuing, his tone lower, "Honestly, most of the department leaders think Luna might be behind it, but none of us have the evidence to confront her."
Wyatt's expression grew grim upon hearing that. The weight of Ned's absence
Wyatt couldn't help but nod slightly, begrudgingly acknowledging Luna's ingenuity in turning the dungeon relocation apparatus into a dungeon-scaling apparatus. While it wasn't as groundbreaking as his vision of using it to create new gate dungeons, it was innovative and exactly what the Freedom Fighters needed at the moment. Luna had always been resourceful, but she had betrayed him and the South. He couldn't stop himself from wondering what might have been if she had remained loyal.
"No, I can't do that," Henricks admitted, shaking his head with a mix of frustration and resignation. "There's a limit to my origin card-it only allows me to create reverse dungeons connecting the Card World to another realm, or vice versa, but not between two different realms. One end of the reverse dungeon-either the origin or the destination-has to be the Card World.
With the entire five regions being closely monitored by the World Leaders, I haven't been able to find a single place in the Card World where I could safely create a connecting reverse dungeon with the Card World as an intermediate between two realms to help migrate my members to a new realm." Henricks's voice grew tense as he laid bare the constraints of his situation, his hands gesturing as though trying to convey the invisible barriers he faced.
Wyatt's brow furrowed as the pieces began to fall into place. "So the Southern Princess was supposed to provide you with a covert location in the Card World where you could create two reverse dungeons-one linking the Yellow Plains to the Card World and another connecting the Card World to a new realm. Such that you and your members could migrate to a new realm while the world leaders would be stupidly guarding and attacking the reverse gates dungeons to Yellow Plains. Damn, now I see why you're so desperate to find The Southern Princess."
Wyatt paused, exhaling sharply through his nose, a smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. A flicker of mockery danced in his eyes as he looked at Henricks. "She did you dirty, Henricks," he said, the smirk growing wider as he couldn't help but jab at the latter for choosing the Southern Princess over him.
Henricks's jaw tightened, but he remained silent, clearly the weight of his present. situation left him unable to defend his choice back then.
Wyatt leaned back slightly, folding his arms as he let his words sink in. "But I get it now," he continued, his tone softening just a touch. "You chose her because she was your ticket to migrating the Freedom Fighters out of the Yellow Plains and into a new realm. With her authority in the Southern Region, she could've given you a safe passage to see your migration plan through." Knowing the limits of Henricks' origin card, it finally made sense to Wyatt why Freedom fighters chose the Southern Princess over him on every turn. They were just protecting their interest. Henricks glanced away, his shoulders slumping slightly as if admitting defeat. Wyatt studied him for a moment longer, understanding that his whole organization's survival depended on his origin card. Without a way to bypass the limits of his origin card, they were cornered and because of their situation, they could only watch as it happened.
Henricks let out a heavy sigh, his hand rubbing the back of his neck as he nodded. His brow furrowing deeply, he said, "What does she stand to gain from betraying us? We still have the Silver Beach dungeon and the dungeon relocation apparatus. If we go down, she loses too-she loses the only source of silver milk in the entire Card World and the only dungeon relocation apparatus not owned by Morningstar University." He paused, shaking his head in frustration. "There has to be more to this than what we're seeing. There's something I'm missing-something she's after that I haven't figured out yet," Henricks muttered, his voice laced with both confusion and a hint of desperation.
