While the Field Marshal was impressed by her young partner. Wyatt however was not happy that his assumption was correct. Seeing the rate at which Handsome Fox was implanting and activating his hypnotic suggestion seeds in the high-level card apprentices it could only mean that Handsome Fox was indeed recruiting high-level card apprentices in preparation for the demon invasion.
With Handsome Fox's hypnotized army assisting them Belphegor and his faction might achieve what their predecessors could not, conquer the Card world. Just the thought that the demon invasion might succeed and the Card world would be destroyed for its will fragments caused shortness in Wyatt's breath.
"Your Highness, Handsome Fox is no longer just a threat to me. He is now a threat to the entire Card world. You need to share the information we have gathered so far with the other royal families and the central government as soon as possible. We need to find him and kill him before he grows strong enough to face the allied forces," Just as Wyatt spoke these words another mark was marked on the map by the tracking curse card. This time it was a card demigod.
"You are right but it is not my place to decide this. This time we have to follow the due process. But don't worry the person in charge happens to be my niece so you can expect an update soon," Field Marshal replied calmly. She was so calm that she even made a joke. Guess this was her way of dealing with stressful situations.
"Please be as discreet about this as possible because this is the only advantage we have over Handsome Fox. If we lose even this then it will be harder for us to deal with him," Wyatt warned Field Marshal to tread lightly.
However, Wyatt did not hold his breath on the help from the the four royal families and the central government to band together and hunt down Handsome Fox knowing that it would take time for them to do something about it. After all, it would take a lot of time for them to cross-check any information provided to them by the Southern Royal family. Not to mention that not everyone would react the same and it will take more time for all of them to reach a decision.
"Okay," Field Marshal nodded knowing the gravity of the situation. At the rate at which Handsome Fox was hypnotizing the High-level card apprentices across the five regions and the empire, soon he would have an army that could rival the Southern Watch and later one that could stand toe-to-toe with the allied forces.
The Field Marshal prepared to leave to make a report to her brother, niece, and husband. But before that, she paused and asked Wyatt, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"
"Yes, I would like you to lift the ban on my people from leaving Sky Blossom City. I need them to go to the Northern region to visit the possible native district of Handsome Fox and collect information on his victims. I believe they can find some thing common in those victims connecting to the identity of Handsome Fox," Wyatt requested explaining his reason behind it.
Wyatt could just recruit new Calamity Daughter Gems and send them to the Northern Region but decided to follow the proper procedure because after recent incidents he had come to appreciate the Heatsend Royal family and their efforts to help him to their limits. Just the fact that they were willing to make Field Marshal Heatsend serve as his full-time bodyguard was unbelieve.
Wyatt believed that the Field Marshal would leave after dealing with demigod Norley but he was wrong and he could not be more happy to be wrong about it. World's top ten serving as his bodyguard was just unbelieve. He still could not believe that the Southern Royal family made the Field Marshal his full-time bodyguard. Though he was worried about the Field Marshal seeing through his secrets he felt safest now ever since he arrived in this world. Since the Southern Royal family was so sincere toward him, Wyatt did not mind playing nice.
"You sure you want to send your people to the Northern Region because once they are outside the Southern Region there isn't much we can do to ensure their safety. So why don't you leave this to the proper authorities, I will ask them to share their findings with you," Field Marshal explained to Wyatt that his request was not necessary since the authorities would be doing exactly that and he could just borrow their findings.
"Your Highness—" Before Wyatt could argue and make his case to persuade the Field Marshal to change her mind, she interrupted him saying, "I will lift the ban do what you want but don't say I did not warn you."
"Thank you," Wyatt replied with a light smile.
"Now that you have my contact ID contact me like a regular card apprentice," Field Marshal Heatsend reminded Wyatt to not use his unique eyes on her before leaving.
Wyatt did not know if the Field Marshal had left but he headed to Van's office planning to give him further instructions on sending a few capable sinners he recruited to investigate the possible native district of Handsome Fox in the Northern Region. He planned to give them a few Puesdo-calamity soul gems to hide them across the Southern region and the Northern region. If needed they can use it to summon him to their location. This way Wyatt can actively participate in the investigation.
Wyatt believed that his investigation in the Northern Region would be successful, this was why he did not mind the Field Marshal taking both blood curse substitute cards containing the roots and seed of Handsome Fox's ability with her. Not to mention she needed them as proof against Handsome Fox. After all, it will be hard for them to convince the allied forces to hunt a ghost without proper evidence.
