Wyatt glanced over all the demiG.o.ds in the bas.e.m.e.nt registering their faces, then his gaze stopped on Ned. With a sneer, he said, "You knew exactly what you were doing. Man, just a few perfectly timed words, and you had the crowd ready to lay their life and their family's lives for your great cause. I guess you are the shrewd one, the glue keeping this broken organization together. You are not as strong as others but have mastered the power of communication to the point where you can easily play with people's hearts."

Wyatt's spiritual body had long returned to his physical body, however, hearing the figureheads of Freedom Fighters in a heated discussion he chose to spy on them to learn about his enemies, only to find that they were bankrupt and had no money to run their organization.

Wyatt was aware that the Freedom Fighters were running low on funds but for them to become bankrupt in a single night, came as a huge shocker to him. So he immediately accessed the VR-universe, to go through the records of his information network to check what he had missed.

Soon he learned about the Freedom Fighters being ambushed by the Paw clan and forces that were once their allies or worked together with them. Following this trial, he uncovered the ma.s.sive conspiracy against the Freedom Fighters. Because of the hate spread against them purposefully by the world leaders they were being hunted down by everyone in the card world, even the small guilds from third-rate cities were after them.

What was shocking was the people who were grateful to the Freedom Fighters for their help had also turned against them after hearing the rumors that the Freedom Fighters were planning to monopolize the Silver Milk Powder. The allure of the silver milk powder even turned the allies and friends of the Freedom Fighters into their haters.

Allowing the Paw clan's ambush on the Freedom Fighters to become so successful that it drove them to bankruptcy, which even the central government could not do back in the day. If not for the a.s.sistance from the silver milk powder Paw Clan could not have achieved this.

Worse, the secret reverse dungeons that the members of the freedom fight used to travel between worlds were being uncovered by motivated pathfinders at an astonis.h.i.+ng rate. The Freedom Fighters only thought that one-third of their reverse dungeons were compromised when more than half of their reverse dungeons were compromised.

Seeing how Henricks issued all members to report to their respective bases unaware of this important piece of news, the Freedom Fighters were going to see more casualties. It was going to be a ma.s.sacre. The worst thing about this was that these were good people who were willing to sacrifice their lives for a better future for everyone even their enemies.

As Wyatt was digesting this information, he was simultaneously listening in on the heated discussion between the top bra.s.s of the Freedom Fighters. He was impressed by the demiG.o.d Ned, this guy came off as a third-rate villain but actually, he had the whole room under his control.

To the regular members, Ned showed the helplessness and struggle of their leaders who had fallen to the point where they had to compromise their moral standing and break into the grimoire of a child just to ensure that their organization kept running.

He then skillfully brought up the ugly topic of the Freedom Fighters' lack of funds by blaming Joy for charging high fees to use her healing skills. When everyone in the bas.e.m.e.nt was clear her healing skill consumed a lot of precious and expensive resources and currently Joy was using her wealth to help heal them all.

Ned noticed the dissatisfaction in Joy's eyes as the direct result of his actions. But he did nothing about it knowing she could take it.

Lastly, when his plan to use Wyatt's wealth to keep the Freedom Fighters running hit a roadblock, he timely ignited the crackers he planted in the hearts of the regular members by showing the struggles the figureheads of the Freedom Fighters were facing to keep things going. Motivating the members to step up and help their leaders even at the cost of harming the interest of the families they abandon for the 'great cause.'

Ned used the persona of a crude, narrow-minded person to dig up the rude and difficult stuff that people rather not think about and then gave them an easy way out of it by making the difficult decisions for them while all they had to do was quietly follow his lead like a herd of speed. The difficult thing was to convince the first few then the rest would follow blindly.

The best thing about all of this was not that Ned had managed to find temporary funds but that he had relieved the dissatisfaction of the demiG.o.ds that he forced to compromise their morals. This was especially true for Plague Doctor Joy, the doubt in her eyes had vanished and replaced with, well, joy as she saw the members of the Freedom Fighters step up.

At this point, when the emotion among the Freedom Fighters was running high, Wyatt decided to make his entry planning to take full advantage of the stage Ned had created. Right now the trust among the Freedom Fighters was at its peak, however, if everything were to go in accordance with Wyatt's plans that would not be the case for long.

As of now the Freedom Fighters were alone in the world with no allies or friends to depend on, they had little to no information from the outside world as they had ceased all their activities and asked all members to report to their respective bases. Combined with their state of bankruptcy it would not be wrong to say that the Freedom fighters were at their weakest and most vulnerable right now.

How could Wyatt just let go of such an opportunity? Since they dared to steal from him he had no compa.s.sion or mercy for them.

In response to Wyatt's words, Ned shook his head and pointing at the clear water pool below he said, "You should not have done that."
