Chapter 1623 Worst Possible Situation

Date- 13 April 2321

Location- Southern Region, Blossom District, Sky Blossom City, Outskirts

Since the Handsome Fox and his party members each had a recommendation quota they needed two more recommendation quotas each to become devil merchant. Considering that their source of recommendation was one demon merchant, it would take a century for all of them to become devil merchants as they claimed.

However, if they could get Wyatt to give his recommendation quota to them that time would reduced by half. This explains why they all praised Handsome Fox for coming up with such a plan but little did they know that Handsome Fox had plans of his own.

Seeing how the Handsome Fox and his party members did not pool the recommendation quota they had on them to turn one of them into a devil merchant first it was clear that they did not trust each other.

If they had pooled their recommendation quota to turn one of them into a devil merchant, it would have only taken them a lot less time for all of them to become devil merchants and would have cost them a lot less. I.e. they all would have become devil merchants in a few decades by giving themselves a recommendation quota.

Once one of them becomes a devil merchant, he would get a merchant recommendation quota after the first decade, and using it he could turn his friend into a devil merchant who would repeat the same until all of them were a devil merchant. While saving a lot of money and trouble in the process.

But if they did not mind spending money then they could skip all the wait by having the first one among them to become a devil merchant help them with recommendations from other devil/demon merchants this way they all would have become devil merchants decades ago.

Regardless of the cost-saving or pricy method, as long they had chosen to trust each other and pool the first three demon merchant recommendation quotas to turn one of them into a devil merchant then they would not have needed to target Wyatt in the first place. No, they would have been able to use their identities as devil merchants to conquer the market of the card world and rule it alongside royal families and central government instead of hiding deep in central government or other forces.

From the looks of how things had ended, it was clear that until the very end the demigod party who had the fortune to somehow discover the secret to becoming a devil merchant chose not to trust each other and Handsome Fox's action proved their choice right.

Having deduced this Wyatt was now clear about Handsome Fox's motive, he was not after the merchant recommendation quota from Wyatt but the merchant recommendation quota that his party members held.

From all this, it can be seen that Handsome Fox never planned to use Susan and the rest as hostages to demand merchant recommendation quotas as ransom from Wyatt but he planned to use this as a reason to gather all his party members in one place. Which would allow him to kill them all and take their merchant recommendation quota from their diamond grimoire.

Seeing how Zaltan Librarian Jr. said that the card world had recently gained a Devil Merchant and a Demon merchant it appears Handsome Fox was successful in opening his party member's diamond grimoires and collecting the merchant recommendation quota in them to become a devil merchant.

Of the five merchant quotas Handsome Fox had gained, he used three for himself and what he did with the remaining two in his hands was a mystery and so was the identity of the second demon merchant. Or was Handsome Fox the person holding two merchant recommendation quotas that Zaltan informed him about? Wyatt's brain ran wild having found the link between the information he got from Zaltan and the actions of Handsome Fox.

But one last question remained unanswered, since he got what he wanted why does Handsome Fox want to kill Wyatt? Was he trying to reduce the competition or was it because someone else instructed him to do so?

Considering that Handsome Fox implanted the hypnotic suggestions in Wyatt's friends before he actually became a devil merchant it was highly unlikely that Handsome Fox did so on the instructions of Belphegor whose demon merchants were now occupying the sector related to the card world in the inter-realm city.

So, that would leave the possibility that the Handsome Fox was trying to kill Wyatt to erase his only competition in the card world. This was considering that he had no idea that there was another demon merchant from Card World. Considering that Wyatt himself would not be aware of this information if not for Zaltan telling him it was highly likely that Handsome Fox believed with his party members dead there were only two people in the card world aware of the devil merchant code, himself and Wyatt. This could prompt him to kill Wyatt and have a total monopoly over the card world's market in devil merchant code.

Having deduced Handsome Fox's complete motive, Wyatt felt that if he had died in Bloodette's dungeon seal then Handsome Fox would have been the biggest winner of the Central government and Morningstar University's attack on Southern Capital. What was the shocking part was nobody would ever know what Handsome Fox had done and gained. Handsome Fox would have walked away with no consequence whatsoever.

However, unfortunately for Handsome Fox Wyatt had not died and the consequences for his actions would catch up to him soon.

Part from figuring out a way to undo Handsome Fox's hypnotic suggestions implanted in Susan and Corey, Wyatt had one other thing that he needed to know. That was, if Handsome Fox knew of Bloodette's death and if he thought that Wyatt died along with Bloodette.

Wyatt thought it was highly unlike that Handsome Fox thought he was dead, mostly because after Bloodette's death he had called and texted Corey and everyone he knew in Sky Blossom City to learn Susan's location. He even called the Southern royal family to give them an ultimatum. He basically screamed that he was alive to the Handsome Fox. So it would be a surprise if a calculative guy like Handsome Fox would not have learned that Wyatt had not died along with Bloodette.

"Darn it," Wyatt cussed understanding that his worry for Susan's well-being had ultimately gotten the best of him. If only he had controlled his emotions then things would not have been as bad as they were right now. Handsome Fox knew everything about Wyatt but Wyatt knew little to nothing about him.
