Isolating himself from the girls, Wyatt did not waste time and accessed the Hive AI managing the information network in the VR Universe. His head was screaming at him to figure out what Anna's mother was up to now ASAP. He did not have the time or mind for Corey's drama. As her friend, he felt for her but he did not have the time to explain every little thing or detail her little brain could not comprehend or fail to notice. Besides, she had Park for that.

'Hive AI, get me the list of activities every Freedom Fighter member has been up to,' Unlike the World Leaders, the leaders of Freedom Fighters who were stuck on a foreign planet loved to conduct their business in the VR Universe. It provided a level of human touch, eloquence, and luxury that the caves in the yellow plains could not provide them.

Besides, half of the Freedom Fighter's leadership was in the card world and the other half was in the yellow plains making it difficult for them to come together to hold important meetings. As a result, they turned to the VR universe, which became the perfect tool for them to communicate and conduct their business.

Thanks to this, Wyatt was able to easily keep tabs on the higher-ups of the Freedom Fighters. All their important meetings and decisions did not escape Hive AI's monitoring which was also the reason why he became complacent dealing with the Freedom Fighters hence giving Anna's mother an opportunity to blindside him. Wyatt was ninety-nine percent sure that whatever Anna's mother was up to was related to the Silver Milk Powder.

As Hive AI prepared the list of things Freedom Fighters have been up to. Wyatt checked his VR universe inbox to find that it was filled with messages from Freedom fighters but about a few days ago they suddenly stopped trying to reach out to Wyatt.

Wyatt went through the messages from the Freedom Fighters one by one. From the oldest messages he learned that his strategy was working, with their growing desperation they were slowly stopping with the games and genuinely wanted to discuss terms with him but then from their recent messages Wyatt learned that something had changed, they were no longer desperate as before rather resumed their games once again but receiving no reply from him they stopped entirely.

The messages gave Wyatt a peek into the Freedom Fighter's mindset, though he had no idea what was the reason behind the ups and downs in their messages. He hoped that Hive AI's monitoring would shed some light on this.

Soon the Hive AI provided Wyatt with a list of the things that the upper circle of the Freedom Fighters have been up to in these past few days. Wyatt scanned through the list to find that it had nothing informative except for the fact that a few days ago the Freedom Fighters had started to sell the silver milk from the D-rank silver beach gate dungeon to the world leaders but that stopped recently.

It was not surprising to Wyatt that the Freedom Fighters would resort to selling the silver milk to the world leaders, he was aware that they were low on funds. However, it was surprising that they stopped selling silver milk recently all of a sudden. Considering that they were funds were very low and had to suspend various departments, it was surprising that they would suddenly stop their only source of income.

Another thing that caught Wyatt's attention about this was the fact that the World Leaders were buying silver milk from the Freedom Fighters. Ever since they had decided to loot the Freedom Fighters, the World Leaders had cut off all business with the Freedom Fighters to make them desperate but for some reason, they started to buy silver milk from the Freedom Fighters in bulk. From the dates, this was right about when the world leaders were retreating from cornering the Freedom Fighters. Unsurprisingly the world leaders who bought silver milk from the Freedom Fighters were the ones to retreat first.

This explains why suddenly the Freedom Fighters were no longer desperate, but it does not explain why the stubborn World Leaders who had come together to loot the Freedom Fighters were now retreating and joining hands with them. The World Leaders and the Freedom Fighters knew something that Wyatt did not. It was the nexus of all this change.

Growing concerned, Wyatt decided to go through all these business meetings between the World Leaders and the Freedom Fighters, to see if he could get any information on why the World Leaders' attitude toward Freedom Fighters had suddenly taken a sharp turn.

Going through meetings, two things stood out to Wyatt,

The first one was the item card 'World Decree.' The Freedom Fighter leaders and the World Leaders have brought up this item a lot of times in their conversation. From their conversation, Wyatt did not know what the card 'World Decree' did but it seemed it was somehow related to the Southern Royal family and the Central Government.

The second one was that all the trades would be conducted in the Yellow Plains. The World Leaders agreed to this because of the item card 'World Degree.' They seemed to revere and fear this card. Unfortunately, he could not get any more information on this card or why it was used.

'For the world leaders to be forced to conduct the trade in the Freedom Fighter's territory, the 'World Decree' item card should be in a league of its own. What the heck is this Item Card 'World Decree'?' thought Wyatt, contemplating how the central government, the Southern Royal family, and the Item Card World Decree were all related. And how all of that affected the changes he has been seeing in the world market.
