Time- 11:44

Location- Card World, Southern Region, Blossom District, Sky Blossom City, TSR Guild Headquarters, basement

The founders of the Seven Princes of Hell faction would never rat out Handsome Fox's true name to the natives of the Card World, after all, Handsome Fox was their ace to conquering the Card World which left Chaos Dwarf Ezra with both motive and ability to do so.

This led Muth Diya to believe that directly or indirectly Chaos Dwarf Ezra was the source of the leaked true name of Handsome Fox. The more Muth Diya contemplated the events based on the assumption that it was the dwarf playing games with them, everything started to make sense to him, so he strongly began to believe that his assumption was correct. However, he did not have a shred of evidence to back it up.ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by Noᴠelꜰɪre.nᴇt

Muth Diya firmly believed that he was on to something, so much so that a devil merchant he did not hesitate to apologize to a demon merchant. All in hopes that once he gets the dwarf to talk he can get him to babble something that would add merit to his assumption and speculations. Giving him the evidence he sought to redeem himself in Belphegor's eyes.

The incident with the chaos dwarf had left Muth Diya's standing in the faction very shaky since the founder backing him, Belphegor, no longer trusted him as before. Since Handsome Fox was valuable for the upcoming realm invasion, all the blame for the incident fell on his shoulders. The only consoling part was Belphegor had still not completely given up on him otherwise he would not have asked him to hide in the Card World to escape the Chaos Dwarf's wrath.

Muth Diya had big plans to become a ruler class inheriting the 'hell of contamination' from his son however he had no idea how much longer it would take him to achieve that, until then Belphegor and the Seven Princes of Hell were his security blanket in the Dark Realm as he had made many powerful enemies throughout his life. Which was why it was very important for Muth Diya to regain Belphegor's favor.

In normal cases, Muth Diya's pride as a devil merchant would not allow him to apologize to a demon merchant but considering that he was playing a long game to trick the dwarf into confessing and regain Belphegor's trust, he did not mind apologizing. However, Muth Diya was not expecting a rude response from Chaos Dwarf Ezra.

"You have finally come to your senses, for a second I thought you had gone senile. Next time you better pick my call," Wyatt responded to Muth Diya's apology as Chaos Dwarf Ezra. Then without waiting for his reply, he hung up the call believing that Muth Diya might be recording their conversation.

Wyatt was not surprised that Muth Diya pieced together ever everything just learning that Handsome Fox's existence and plan were leaked to the natives of the Card World. He knew that this might happen, which was why revealed Chaos Dwarf Ezra as his informant to Field Marshal Heatsend, and to Asong Young he revealed his informant was a rival of the dark faction Gideon Grim had joined.

Knowing Gideon and his abilities, he will scour the Card World to figure out that Anna's mother was the one who revealed his existence to the rest of the Card World. Not to mention that cards she had to track his active and dead hypnotized puppets across the five regions. Knowing Gideon he or his dark faction would definitely have a few tricks up their sleeves to render those two cards useless to track his hypnotize puppets.

Hopefully, the Southern Royal family had already acted to remove Gideon's hypnotized puppets in the Southern Region otherwise it was only a matter of time before Gideon found out through his network of hypnotized card apprentices across the Southern Region that it was Dalton Wyatt who highlighted his existence to the Southern Royal family using the information provided by his demon informant Chaos Dwarf Ezra.

However, considering how Anna's mother had immediately acted it was clear to Wyatt that the Southern Royal family had prioritized informing the rest of the world about Gideon's existence and his plans for a second demon invasion over cleaning their house.

Wyatt felt that Anna's mother made the right choice because if she prioritized cleaning the Southern Region of Gideon's hypnotized puppets then not only would Gideon be able to grow his hypostatized army to massive size but he would also immediately be alerted realizing that someone was targeting his hypnotized puppets in the Southern region as such because of his cautious nature he would instantly take actions to render all means of tracking useless.

This way Anna's mother would not only fail to clean her house but also lose the only concrete evidence to prove Gideon's crimes to the rest of the world. Anna's mother handled this matter more responsibly than many world leaders would. No wonder even some as strong as Field Marshal trusted her niece's decisions unconditionally.

However, this did not mean that Gideon's network of hypnotized card apprentices was out of hot water as identifying Gideon's hypnotized puppet was not as hard as identifying Matron's brainwashed spies and the Supreme Leader's incarnations. Unlike their origin card's mysterious means, Gideon's origin card's means were obvious to someone highly sensitive to soul pathways.

After all, with a little concentration a diamond-grade card creationist or array master could easily feel the roots of Gideon's seed in the hypnotized card apprentice's body. Wyatt guessed that Anna's mother might have already ordered Leo and Lorenzo to create cards that allowed the authorities to tell hypnotized card apprentices apart from regular card apprentices.

Wyatt added the creation of a card that allows one to differentiate between hypnotized and regular card apprentice to his to-do list. With his soul pupils, he did not need such a card but his friends could use them. Not to mention, he saw a huge market demand for such cards in the market soon.
