Wyatt never thought for a second that it would be easy to convince Asong to back off, if it were, she would not have been a.s.sa.s.sinated in her past life or be a target of a.s.sa.s.sination in this life. She was never afraid of death. She stood in front of the big bad politicians and n.o.bles of the central capital to speak up for the rights of the regular people who were not lucky enough to awaken as card apprentices. She did not only stand up for the mortals but card apprentices too when the central government tried to push the registration bill to get every card apprentice to resister their origin cards, physiques, and traits. Regardless of when and where Asong always stood up for what was good for the general population. So it was not surprising for Asong would react as such listening to his words. Had Wyatt not seen the future vision and known the interests of the various parties involved, his thought process might not have been much different from Asong"s thought process. Unfortunately for him, he could not be ignorant of the inevitable. What Asong did not understand was, who was she going to complain about the undead being raised in the central capital when it was the masters who owned the central capital that ordered and funded these undead to be raised, The n.o.bles of the central region? Or The Royal families? Or

The hidden sects and clans?

Or The rag-tag revolutionary groups like the Freedom fighters? Or The card apprentice community? Even with all of them banded together they were not the masters" opponents, which was why the masters were able to rule the Card world for many centuries with no one challenging their authority. None of them were capable enough to help Asong hold the masters responsible for their actions and bring them to justice. There was nothing Asong could do after learning the truth except shatter the illusion of a peaceful time in the people"s minds and let them know that they were not in control of their lives i.e. all she would do was set a ma.s.s panic. So, what if the whole world knew the masters were not the heroes but just power-hungry warlords, the rebels would grow in number which meant the masters, who no longer had to hide their true selves, would come down ten times harder on the rebels coloring the streets of the five regions with blood until they made sure everyone knew they were in charge and there was nothing any of them could do about it. If things were to go in this route then Karl and the other mischiefs might miss their opportunity to kill the masters. That could also mean they might never get a similar opportunity. Meaning, that the future where masters were defeated might never happen. The more Wyatt thought about this the more he could not help but wonder if Asongs death in her past life was all part of the grand scheme of things. If she hadn"t been a.s.sa.s.sinated, then she would have hindered Karl"s plan. Meaning, if she continued to live in pursuit of righteousness and justice she might have helped the masters avoid their misfortune and stay in control of the card world for a few more centuries to come. "Asong, answer me this, if you knew who was behind the undead fiasco what would you do?" Wyatt asked Asong, as he did not want to part with the latter on bad terms and he did not want her to see her get herself killed by being too stubborn since he had decided to save her from her fate seen in the future vision he planned to see it through. "That depends on who is behind it. I will take appropriate steps to make sure that they were stopped and brought to justice," Asong answered, though in her mind she had long lost interest in talking with Wyatt. If not for the courtesy she would not even be bothered to answer Wyatt. "What if I tell the people behind this incident are the masters? You live in the central capital you should have heard about them. What will you do then?" Wyatt wanted to hear it from Asong, he wondered how she planned to deal with a group of people that controlled the card world. "Masters? Yes, I am aware of them. I am also aware of their ident.i.ties. How do you know that the founders were behind this?" Asong did not care about Wyatt"s question. Instead, she thought if it was the masters then they would be more than capable of raising an undead army right in the center region, the capital city, without anybody else knowing or talking about it. "It"s a hypothetical, just humor me, what would you do?" Wyatt did not fall for Asong"s trick and asked her to humor him for instance. "Honestly, If it"s the masters who were truly behind this I would have to think that they had a strong reason to do this otherwise we"re all f.u.c.ked," Asong had a feeling Wyatt might not have given her an example but the truth to see her reaction and decide if he should tell her what he knew i.e. this was his test for her. Therefore, she gave serious thought to what Wyatt asked before answering him. When Asong entertained the idea that the people ruling this world might be the culprits behind this incident she suddenly felt a chill all over her body giving rise to fear in her heart and her brain threatening to shut down by the sheer magnitude of how severe and shocking this information was. That was when she realized that she did not have any contingencies against the masters. How could she when she had no reservations about them? She could not understand how the hands that built this beautiful civilization could be the ones trying to destroy it. Listening to Asong say that if it was the founders who were behind the army of undead being raised in the central capital they must have a good reason, Wyatt looked at Asong in shock. He could not believe such words would come out of Asong"s mouth. However, she did add that they all would be f.u.c.ked if that were not the case. Just the fact that she used a curse word in her speech can tell how shaken up she was by this realization. The only thing keeping her sane was knowing that this was not a fact but just a hypothetical example that Wyatt cooked up to get his point through. "Now you see where I am coming from? Some things are not worth fighting for, This is one of them. I know you want to do good for the people that gave you your authority and status but this is not the only battle there are several other battles out there and we are short on people like you to fight these good battles for the people. Asong, I will not try to persuade you any further but know this your death will rob the people of someone who truly cared about them, your work here is far from done," Wyatt could only hope that Asong would no longer continue to be stubborn about this incident and move on to something new. "Wyatt, I understand but this one is too big for me to ignore especially since n.o.body is paying attention to it," Asong too understood that her actively seeking death would not help anyone yet she found herself in a dilemma unable to move past what she saw. "Who said n.o.body is paying attention? I am paying attention, the Southern Royal family is too, let us fight this battle and you continue with your thing," Wyatt hurriedly said wondering if a.s.suring Asong that he was on top of this matter and would see it through might get her to back off. "If you guys are then why aren"t you taking any action to put a stop to it and bring the people responsible to justice?" Asong asked in irritation because she would not understand how the Southern Royal family could sit by and watch people raise undead in the central capital. "That is because we"re making preparations to take the appropriate actions. These guys were capable of raising an undead army in the central region without getting noticed. That should tell you how powerful and strong these people are. So we cannot just confront them without any preparations. These people are strong and powerful enough to make the Southern royal family cautions that should tell you how dangerous the people we are dealing with are. Trust me and just let us do our thing. The people involved will get what"s coming for them," Since Asong asked him to give her a reason to back off this matter without leaving any shadow on her heart, he gave her one, a good one.
