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

Most of the marked targets in the Northern Region were dimmer compared to those in the other region. Particularly a third-rate district in the Northern Region had a lot of targets. Based on the brightness of these targets in that district of the northern region, these targets were either dead or regular mortals on their deathbeds or low-level card apprentices.

If one were to a.s.sume, it would be justifiable to guess that Handsome Fox has honed his ability in that district of the northern, he might have been a low-level card apprentice at that time considering that all these targets were either mortals or low-level card apprentice.

Then following the map marked by the tracking curse, from that particular district to the Northern Capital there was a trail of marked targets with increasing brightness. The brightness of the marked target grew periodically from Handsome Fox's a.s.sumed native district to the Northern capital. Based on the previous a.s.sumption one could a.s.sume that Handsome moved from his native district to the Northern capital as his realm increased. Leaving a trail of victims in his path.

Building on the previous a.s.sumptions it can seen that Handsome Fox was about the Card Overlord realm when he entered the Northern Capital. After that, the trial got complicated to deduce as the remaining targets were mostly higher-level card apprentices. But it was certain that his activity in the Western and Eastern capitals was the least. It was the highest in the Central and Northern capitals. Surprisingly moderate in the Southern capital and Way Beyond.

"Wyatt, you might be onto something. Just by seeing the number of low-level targets marked on the map, you tell that the Northern Region has many low-level targets compared to the other regions. The Eastern region and The Western region barely have any low-level targets. But it is concerning to see that there are many low-level targets in the Southern Region, though the number is nothing compared to those in the Northern Region and the Central Region but all these low-level targets in the Southern Region are only focused in the Southern Capital," Following Wyatt's a.s.sumptions Feild Marshal found that she could now understand the map, it had so much information on Handsome Fox and his activities just like Wyatt said.

"If I were to guess, this might be how Handsome Fox was able to time his attack on Sky Blossom City right during the Southern capital incident. Still, I would increase the protection of the dual gate dungeon, we cannot rule out the possibility that he is planning to use these low-level targets to attack the dual gate dungeon," Wyatt warned Field Marshal that Handsome Fox might be targeting the dual gate dungeon.

"My thoughts exactly, I have forwarded the map to Lt General Spencer asking her to monitor the targets marked by the tracking curse card," Field Marshal replied, she was quick to act because she had no idea if or when Handsome Fox going to attack. If he were to, with her gone this would be the most optimal time for him to act. One could not be more careful about these things.

"Please ask Lt. General Spencer and her teams to be on guard for Handsome Fox. If he gets to even one of her soldiers it will not be hard for him to achieve his objective," Wyatt advised the Field Marshal.

Wyatt did not doubt that Lt. General Spencer was capable of going against Handsome Fox's ability because if she and her original teams couldn't then the Southern Royal family would not have chosen them to guard the Sky Blossom City knowing that someone like Handsome Fox was after Wyatt and his friends. Though they were useless against DemiG.o.d Norley, the fact that they did not retreat in the face of certain death was a testament to their strong will and courage.

"Lt General Spencer and her team are all professionals they can take care of themselves but I will forward your concern to her and the team," Field Marshal felt that Lt General Spencer and teams stationed at the Sky Blossom City would appreciate knowing Wyatt's concern. Later she added, "It seems I own you one."

Field Marshal Heatsend acknowledged that if Wyatt had followed the proper channels to track Handsome Fox following her advice, then it would have been too late for them to take caution against Handsome Fox's conspiracy in the Southern Capital.

"Sure. But we need trustworthy and capable card apprentices to spy on the targets in the Way Beyond. I have a strong hunch that Handsome Fox is hiding there," Wyatt's hunch was from his visit to one of Handsome Fox's bases in the unexplored area of the Way Beyond. Wyatt believed that one of the targets might led them to the actual hideout of Handsome Fox in the Way Beyond.

Field Marshal Heatsend frowned listening to Wyatt's claim that Handsome Fox was hiding in the Way Beyond because from the map it appeared that Handsome Fox was very active in the Central Capital so it was most likely that Handsome Fox was in the Central Capital. However, the Field Marshal still decided to follow Wyatt's hunch because he was not wrong so far, "I will talk to my niece about it. I am sure she has a few people to spare."

Because of Wyatt the Southern Royal family was very busy doing different important projects. With the threat of Matron and Handsome Fox, they could only mobilize trustworthy people to these projects. So right now they were stretched thin on subordinates that were both capable and trustworthy. Hence, Field Marshal hesitated before agreeing to follow up on Wyatt's hunch.

"This is it, let us move on to plan B," Wyatt announced after his Hive AI had copied the world map in detail, especially the Way Beyond and its explored lands. This information was not something someone could get their hands on even if they were willing to pay a hefty price.

"Hopely, this will help us find Handsome Fox. Then we can avoid going through all this trouble to find him," Field Marshal said.
