"Don't worry, I understand that," Wyatt was grateful for Asong checking on him but he knew what she wanted to know was how he got the information. Wyatt was not worried, as had already decided to use Chaos Dwarf Ezra as his cover.

"Now I am worried," Listening to Wyatt ask her not to worry about him, Asong began to worry about him. She knew it took a big heart for one to worry about others worrying about them. Such people appeared tough on the surface but they were vulnerable inside, "Wyatt don't try to be strong. Did you also get roped into the Heatsend way? Anna and Ann are the results of their way, with such examples how can you follow their way?"

"Hey, you are acting like the townspeople are already dead?" Wyatt reminded Asong that the townspeople were not dead.

"Wyatt, let us be real here. We will be lucky if the demigod teams of the Northern Region and Allied Forces can catch the trail of Gideon and his hypnotized army," Asong spoke the hard facts based on the information she had. After all, five minutes was a lot for a dozen demigods to offer an entire town as human sacrifice. This meant regardless of how fast the help reached the coordinates, they would only be arriving at a gruesome crime scene.

"I am only sharing this with you, my informant is among the demons Gideon is associated with. According to him, the Human sacrifice will not happen anytime soon as they are busy with the preparations, if the demigod teams hurry then they will at the least be able to save the townspeople," Wyatt had no confidence that the demigods will be able to catch Gideon or Muth Diya. Those two were very strong compared to average devils and demigods. As devil merchants, they had many means at their disposal. If everything else failed they could use the devil merchant code to leave the realm.

"No wonder you have such accurate information," Asong marveled processing what Wyatt had just said.

"If you worried that my informant is a demon. Don't worry we are just doing business. He is from the rival dark faction of the dark faction that Gideon is helping orchestrate the second demon invasion in our world," Wyatt assured Asong, knowing that no average card apprentice would ever trust a demon as a source of information.

"Are you not worried that your informant's dark faction will try to invade our world?" Asong asked, as a card apprentice she was skeptical that a demon would help them.

"Realm invasion is not as easy as you think, even for a big dark faction. Especially, if it is a powerful realm like ours. They just want to use this opportunity to wipe out their competition while I get to stop a possible second demon invasion in our world," Wyatt understood that a few words would not be enough for him to erase Asong's instinctive distrust of demons.

"Is the Southern Royal family aware of this— what am I saying, it was you who had exposed Gideon Grim and his crimes while the Southern royal family is just your mouthpiece. Now it all makes sense. I thought you were a genius card creationist but it seems you excel in other fields as well," Asong sighed comprehending that the central government was not wrong about one thing, Wyatt was indeed associated with demons.

Wyatt wondered why Asong was so surprised he had told her that he was the one who reported Gideon Grim to the Southern royal family back when he met her in the VR Universe.

"Wyatt, I hope you know what you are doing. But let me warn you dealing with demons never ends well you better get out while you still can. Don't let your curiosity get the better of you," Asong has known many talented researchers and professors who have gone astray seeking answers to their questions from demons. As far as she knew nobody had faired well associating with the dark realm.

"Speaking of curiosity getting the better of us, my contacts in the central government have said that there is a serious threat to your life. If I were you I would hide as of now and work remotely using the VR Universe and not trust the grimoire network," Wyatt used this conversation as an opportunity to warn Asong. He did it so urgently because he would forget it later with everything that was going on.

"Is your contact by any chance Jill Norley," Asong was thorough when making friends, she might be a low-level card apprentice but her networking was bigger and stronger than many world leaders. So Wyatt was not surprised that Asong knew Jill was his only contact in the central capital aside from her.

"Try her father demigod Norley, one of the founders," Wyatt lied, Asong's network was strong but she still did not have the authority or luck to meet one of the founders.

"No way, why would someone of his status be concerned with someone like me," Asong was right, demigod Norley could care less if Asong died or lived.

"You are being modest again. Anyway, I have done my part rest is left to you. But if I were you I would take this seriously because not every day one of the founders takes an interest in mundane politics," Wyatt hoped that Demigod Norley's name was enough for Asong to understand how dangerous her situation was and go into hiding or stay lowkey for a while.

Considering how Asong has taken things slow in the central capital politics and focused on training Aba, Wyatt believed his lie should be enough to get her to stop her investigations and go into hiding. Because if she was alive she could continue the investigation later or from afar. But if she dies all her plans will never see the daylight. She will be another one of those politicians who made empty promises to the common public.
