Time- ??? 

Location- Reverse Dungeon, Yellow Plain Planet, Freedom Fighter's Base 

"Baylor, did you manage to sell the raw Silver Milk?" Henricks asked as they had planned to sell raw Silver Milk to keep their organization running until they were able to set up the Silver Milk Production line. 

"No," Baylor shook his head sideways to everyone's disappointment. 

"What do you mean no? So many hidden sects and clans have shown interest in buying large quant.i.ties of Silver Milk for a high price," the demiG.o.d in charge of finance inquired Baylor. The belief that the sales of raw Silver Milk would soon rejuvenate their dry funds was what kept him calm in this situation. 

"It was all a ruse to pinpoint the location of our reverse dungeons, our spies picked on it quick so we were able to avoid a huge crisis," Baylor responded and then continued to say, "The Silver Beach dungeon has put a huge target on our back. It has turned our allies into our enemies. This is one of the reasons why there were so many casualties last night. Previously no one cared about our group but now everyone, even the small adventure guilds are trying to track down our reverse dungeons. If my estimate is correct then a third of our reverse dungeons have already been compromised. The thing keeping the world leaders from barging in is Henricks' barrier that only allows the members of the Freedom Fighters to enter the reverse dungeon and the fact that the compromised reverse dungeons were all of A-rank or below, so anybody higher than Card Lord rank cannot enter these reverse dungeons even if they can break through Henrick's barrier unless they do not value their life. I have already reported this to the Dungeon Patrol Department, she should find you to discuss it once she finishes her investigation into it and has a picture of how bad our situation actually is."

"..." Everyone's face turned ashen listening to Baylor's words, They knew things would be harder now compared to before but they did not think that it would hit the fan so fast. One had to understand Adventure Guilds are at the bottom of the barrel yet they dared to target the members of their organization. Either the Freedom Fighters appeared as an easy target to them or the appeal of the Silver Milk Powder to the general public was far greater than they thought. 

Regular intake of Silver Milk Powder from a young age guarantees a mortal to achieve ten percent active control of their soul before they are 13-15 years of age. Even n.o.bles and Royals could not guarantee this with their powerful bloodlines. 

Being able to contract a bronze grimoire at the age of 13 basically signified the birth of a prodigy and now with a sufficient supply of Silver Milk Powder anybody could be a prodigy. 

When it comes to the middle-cla.s.s and low-cla.s.s card apprentices and mortals, they were willing to take on any kind of hardship as long as it meant giving their progeny the opportunity that they did not have. As such how could they not covet Silver Milk Powder? 

This, the high-cla.s.s card apprentices were well aware of this as they had been using it to control the Middle and Lower-cla.s.s people and pitting them against each other to continue and maintain the cla.s.s system. But now they were using this sentiment to target Freedom Fighters. 

Yes, they were using the very people who once helped Freedom Fighters and believed to be their allies to bring them down. Regardless of what the Freedom Fighters stood for and how big and scary they were, everyone felt that they deserved a piece of the silver milk powder that they had illegally monopolized. 

While the leaders of the Freedom Fighters were thinking that the Silver Milk Powder would help them gain the power necessary to achieve their cause, they forgot the appeal of the Silver Milk Powder. Because of it they no longer had allies in the Card World. 

The main reason the World Leaders could rally the ma.s.ses against Freedom Fighters was because of Anna's mother's strategy of making the people fully aware of silver milk powder and its capabilities in the state media while denying its existence by claiming that it was a huge sham run by the silver milk fraudster. 

The Southern princess's strategy worked so well that overnight everyone who dreamed of becoming a card apprentice began to fantasize about the existence of such a powder. Then imagine their surprise when the leaders they put their faith in suddenly began to claim that Silver Milk Powder was not fake but real. The news of Freedom Fighters stealing the only source of silver milk and monopolizing the Silver Milk Powder was enough to change the opinion of people about Freedom Fighters from a band of Robin Hoods to a band of thieves and bandits. 

"This is not good. Over people are in real danger. Recall everyone and enforce a total lockdown. Ask the patrol department to double the members guarding the reverse dungeons and also make a list of compromised dungeons and share it with our members. So that they can avoid those dungeons and use the other nearby reverse dungeons to report at their respective Yellow Plain base," Henricks decided to recall all the members immediately because he felt it would be too late to do so once the dungeon patrol department had conducted an investigation into it. Apart from finding the compromised reverse dungeon and aiding in total recall of members everything else came secondary. 

This time however Henrick's decision to recall all the members of the freedom fighters was not for the sake of catching the spies of Matron but for the protection of his members because he knew if they continued to stay in the card world once their cover was blown their lives would no longer be safe. He was so focused on monetizing the silver milk powder and upgrading the Freedom Fighters that he failed to see how it had turned himself and the Freedom Fighters into the enemy of the world.

Even the Southern Royal family did not dare to be so blatant about monopolizing the Silver Milk Powder let alone the Freedom Fighters. Now it looked as if Silver Milk Powder would not be the steps to their success but the gate to their end. 

"Henricks—" the demiG.o.d in charge of the finance was going to remind Henricks that they cannot afford a lockdown but Henricks completed his sentence for him, "—we cannot afford a lockdown. I know. Leave it to me. I will figure something out."

"Or we can always make use of you know who. Don't look at me like that, this is part of my job. Besides, isn't he going to die soon then won't that all money go to waste? It would be better if we put that money to use," The demiG.o.d in charge of finances reminded the crowd that they could use Wyatt, especially his VR-Universe. Before he could finish his sentence, Luna and Baylor glared at him but he ignored them and chose to finish his sentence anyway. 

"He is not going to die soon but you are."
