“Dalton Wyatt, will attend Morningstar University and there is nothing that the Southern Royal family can do to stop him from doing so,” Luna announced with great confidence when the demigods repeatedly said that the Southern Royal family would not allow the boy to leave the Southern region. 

“What makes you say that?” the demigod asked, they all, including Henricks and Baylor, believed that the Southern royal family would not allow the boy to leave the premises of the Southern capital let alone the Southern region. 

“You guys don’t know Dalton Wyatt like I do. Otherwise, you will not be underestimating him constantly. Let me tell you something, if Dalton Wyatt puts his mind to something he will achieve it. 

Dalton Wyatt was able to defeat ‘The Miracle’ despite being a card soldier, that should be enough proof of that. Henricks, you know the strength of ‘The Miracle.’ Tell me can any Card Soldier pull off what Dalton Wyatt did?” Luna’s eyes shone a crazy brilliance as she spoke about the boy’s name and his achievement as if they were her achievements. It could be seen that was becoming very possessive of the boy. 

“No, no average teenage card soldier can pull off what he did. I don’t believe even I would be able to do that now let alone at his age,” Henricks words shocked the demigods in the room. They did not expect Henricks to sing praises of a teenage card apprentice.

It was clear to all that knew of the battle of 5th April that the boy borrowed the devil’s power to defeat ‘The Miracle.’ However, nobody knew how the boy managed to borrow the devil’s power without any consequences. 

Henricks believed he could not do something like that even with his current power and wisdom. Then he added, “Yes, the boy is not to be underestimated in any way but I too believe that the Southern royal family never let the boy leave the Southern Capital let alone pursue higher studies in a foreign region. Luna, you know your aunt better than me, she will never let something like that happen.” 

“Ugh,” seeing each of her ideas being shot down, Luna was irritated but she would not argue further because Hernicks was correct about Anna’s mother. She will never allow the boy to leave the Southern capital. Maybe it was she who planted the idea of kidnapping the boy and forcefully bringing him to the Royal palace in Colleen’s mind. Anna’s mother had a way of getting her way without becoming the bad guy or her enemy realizing it.

Therefore after a lot of thinking she proposed, “I still have a few loyal subordinates active in the palace, we can just wait for them to signal us when Dalton Wyatt leaves the royal palace grounds but our people will have to hide near the Southern Capital to act as soon as possible. This is the best plan I can think of. If you guys don’t like your odds then forget about kidnapping Dalton Wyatt.” 

“…” None of the demigods immediately agreed to Luna’s plan and began to contemplate if the risk was worth it. After all, the boy would have demigod bodyguards guarding him 24×7, so a few of them will have to tag along on the mission to see it through. Which meant they would be risking their lives to kidnap a teenage card soldier. 

Considering that the boy was one of a kind genius it would be worth it but before either of them can volunteer for the mission, Hernicks spoke up, “No need to send in a team, I will personally attend to this assignment.”

The security of the Southern capital and its surrounding area has increased by a hundredfold ever since the discovery of the Dual Gate dungeon. Making it very risky even for a small group of demigods to hide there. Thinking of this Henricks decided to take action himself besides his origin card was perfect for his assignment. 

Learning that Henricks would personally be taking action, the group of demigods cheered up not because they felt it would be easier to complete the assignment with his origin card but because they were so confident about Henricks. As their leader and friend, he has never let them down. 

They believed if it was Henricks he would complete the mission regardless of any development. Just learning that Henricks would be taking over the assignment they all felt rest assured as if it was a done deal. That was the amount of faith and trust they had in Henricks. Even Luna, who had only known Henricks identity a few days ago, felt that way.

“Since you are personally taking action it saves us a lot of trouble and manpower. With the building of the silver milk powder production chain and supply chain, we are short-handed not only in terms of manpower but capital too. If we do not tend to these issues immediately then we will have to halt all our activities just to sustain the organization,” one of the demigods overseeing the finances of the Freedom Fighters spoke up. 

While saying this the demigod eyed Luna because every year the R&D department takes a huge chunk of their budget but so far they have yet to see any results in the Empty space research being led by Luna. 

The demigod believed that if they were to temporarily shut down the R&D department, financially the organization could sustain itself for another two or three months which was enough time for them to start selling Silver milk powder in the black market and solve their money problems once and for all. 

However, the demigod was too afraid of Luna to say that. Yes, a reputed and influential demigod was afraid of Luna, a card emperor. Luna did not get a place on the oval table which was filled with powerful demigods for nothing, anyone who underestimated her has come to regret it. Luna was as ruthless as they come.

“Have things gotten that desperate?” Hendricks asked the demigod with a grave expression. Though most of the people in the freedom fighters were not in it for the money as their leader it was up to him to see that they were all well fed and equipped. 

“Good that you brought the finances. I have a good investment plan just for us. Once we follow it we will never have to worry about money ever again,” Luna declared, trying her best to sound candid. Listening to her, the demigod who just spoke about finances felt goosebumps over her body.
