After recovering from his initial shock at Wyatt showing no interest in the D-rank Silver Beach gate dungeon, Henricks mind focused on the one piece of information that he wondered if Wyatt intentionally revealed, that Wyatt was ent.i.tled to more than 30 percent of the profits from the sale of the silver milk powder. Regardless of whether Wyatt revealed it intentionally or unintentionally, Henricks felt like cussing at the world for being unfair and he mentally did, "How can you give one person so much and nothing to others? How? Tell me why? What did we do wrong to deserve your ire?" Henricks screamed unfair in his mind repeatedly but maintained a calm expression on the surface. However, he did ask Wyatt, "I did not know the Southern Princess could be that generous in a partnership unless she met her match."
He spoke these words from experience in dealing with the Southern Princess. Especially, in his recent deal with her about returning the D-rank dungeon for compensation. The Southern Princess did not allow him to have any advantage instead made use of every variable in the situation to slash their compensation by more than half and because of their desperation, the Freedom Fighters could only go along with it as they wanted to get the dungeon off their hands as fast as possible.
"Everyone keeps saying that I have a lot in common with the Southern Princess but I don"t think so because regardless of the circ.u.mstances I would not have compromised and cut a deal with you guys to get the D-rank Silver Beach gate dungeon back, especially when I promised to get her an S-rank Silver Beach gate dungeon. Unless you promised her something more in return. Something which was enough for her to get to bend the rules this one time," Wyatt said finding it hard that the Southern Princess would negotiate with terrorists when he offered to get her S-rank Silver Beach dungeon. "Wait, I thought only one Silver Beach gate dungeon was discovered so far," Henricks mind went blank hearing Wyatt talk about an S-rank Sliver Beach gate dungeon. That would change things.
"No, I said I would get her one I never said there was one. Henricks, don"t rush to conclusions. That was what got you in trouble in the first place," Wyatt corrected Henrick.
"Oh, I see. But in your case, we can never be sure," Henricks did not fully believe Wyatt, if anything he was starting to doubt that Wyatt might know the location of a S-rank Silver Beach gate dungeon. However, Henricks wondered why Wyatt even brought that up. What was this kid up to? "So, what did you offer Henricks? Why did she compromise so easily?" Wyatt did not let the conversation go off topic and asked Henricks why the Southern Princess was willing to compromise with the Freedom Fighters and even willing to give them some compensation. Listening to Wyatt, even Field Marshal became curious, she too wanted to know what deal her niece had cut with Henricks and the Freedom Fighters, despite all the s.h.i.t these people had put them through. "Kid, you are just overthinking it. This is just business. She needed the dungeon as fast as possible and was willing to pay the price for it," Henricks dismissed Wyatt"s question as him thinking too much into it when there was nothing to find. "Well, then you would not mind if I guessed, right?" Wyatt looked at Henricks teasingly. The latter frowned and asked, "What does it have to do with all this? Why don"t you get to the point and stop wasting time?" "Everything, in time everything will become clear but for now let us focus on what you promised to the Southern Princess for her to break her deal with me and side with you despite your past," Wyatt emphasized. All this started with the Southern Princess compromising with Freedom Fighters over the D-rank Silver Beach gate dungeon without consulting Wyatt especially since he promised to help her get an S-rank Silver Beach gate dungeon as long as she prepared the other parts of the Dungeon relocation apparatus and a.s.sembled it with stolen key components to make it operational. The Southern Princess broke her deal with Wyatt and in return, he stole her most powerful aid Field Marshal from her side. In a way, all this was indirectly related to Freedom Fighters i.e. Henricks. He had to have offered the Southern Princess what she felt was worth enough souring her relationship with Wyatt. "Kid, the Freedom Fighters are on the brink of bankruptcy we have nothing to offer. We are practically sc.r.a.pping to stay functional. You should know, you witnessed our condition first hand," Despite Wyatt putting forward he suspicions Henricks strongly claimed otherwise. However, Wyatt"s eyes turned sharp as he revealed, "You promised the Southern Princess to help her turn the D-rank Silver Beach dungeon into a reverse dungeon didn"t you?" Henricks"s eyes widened in shock, but hurriedly masking his shock he denied saying, "I don"t know what you are talking about." "Did she make you sign a nondisclosure agreement as part of the deal? I can understand why she would want you to do that. After all, she would not want you to use the information that she was stealing from me against her," Wyatt did not bother to get verbal confirmation from Henricks his eyes confirmed it all. Listening to Wyatt deduce the truth, Henricks forehead and back were drenched in cold sweat as the breach of his contract with Southern Princess had very serious consequences he did not want to trigger them. "Wyatt, how could she steal from you? Don"t you have an iron-clad contract with Anna to protect your interest?" Field Marshal Heatsend asked, seeing Henricks"s physical response she had already guessed Wyatt"s speculation wasn"t that far from the truth. Her niece might really be up to something. "Nothing is perfect. The same goes for my contract with Anna."
