Chapter 1622 Motive

Date- 13 April 2321

Time- 12:02

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

Bloodette, Cortney, Susan, and Corey were alive when Baem arrived because the Handsome Fox wanted them alive to help with his agenda. Understanding this, Wyatt felt he had been neglectful of his peopleʼs safety trusting that Southern Royal to protect them for him.

From what Susan said to Diana it was clear that the Handsome Fox had dealt with the Southern Royal familyʼs Demigod guarding them before ambushing them. Clearly, he did not kill the Demigod because if a Demigod of the Southern Royal family was dead their forces would be crawling all over the place.

When the second Demigod from the Southern Royal family followed Beam to Sky Blossom City, the first thing he must have done was contact the demigod posted here to protect Susan and the rest. Since there was no reaction from the Southern Royal family then it would be safe to assume that the Demigod guarding the city was not killed.

Considering how calculative the Handsome Fox was in his ways, Wyatt deduced that he had used his hypnotic suggestion ability on the Demigod guarding the city to ignore his partyʼs ambush on Susan and the rest. This explains why he did not report the attack to the Southern Royal family but what about the Demigod that followed Baem to the city, they should have reported it as nothing was stopping them from doing so.

Unless the Demigod following Baem could not keep up with her speed and only traced her to the Sky Blossom City, as such their arrival at the city was delayed and they missed Baem destroying the SSS-rank Space isolation and Expansion array and chasing away Handsome Fox.

This could explain why they did not report the ambush to the Southern Royal family. Both the Demigods from the Southern Royal family posted at the Sky Blossom City had no idea of the ambush much less Bloodetteʼs death which transpired in her dungeon seal.

Had Wyatt not survived the Blooodetteʼs Blood Rule Explosion in the dungeon seal, nobody would know what happened to Wyatt and what Handsome Fox had done. The plan was near perfect except for one mistake Handsome Fox like all that had tried to kill Wyatt so far had underestimated him and his capabilities.

Though Handsome Fox had tried to kill him using the people close to him, Wyatt could not help but feel awe toward Handsome Fox imagining how much calculation it might have taken on his part to make all this happen. Pity it all amounted to nothing in the end as he failed.

Despite almost deducing what Handsome Fox had done in Sky Blossom City, Wyatt could not figure out why Handsome Fox did this. With the information at hand, Wyatt had so far deduced that Handsome Fox and his party members were after the demon merchant recommendation quotas that Wyatt would gain every decade as a demon merchant. But Handsome Fox using Bloodette, Cortney, Susan, and Corey to kill him told an entirely different story.

This was where Wyatt was stuck in his deduction, he did not understand why Handsome Fox would concoct a brilliant plan to get the demon merchant recommendation quotas for himself and his party members from Wyatt only to scrap all of it by killing his party members and Wyatt. Why do this?

Wyatt replayed everything Susan said in his head repeatedly to see if he was missing something. Though Wyatt did not have a lot of information to go on with still he persisted and continued to try and deduce Handsome Foxʼs motives. As he went through what Susan said, one thing Wyatt did not understand was, ʼWhat did the demigods mean by they all could become devil merchants in a century but thanks to Handsome Foxʼs plan they can become demon merchants faster?ʼ

The only way to answer this would be by figuring out how the demigods knew how to become devil merchants and how they planned to become devil merchants previously.

There were only two ways to become a demon/devil merchant, get one recommendation from a devil merchant or get three recommendations from a demon merchant. There was no way around this unless the devil merchant code personally selected the demon/devil merchant. Which was a very rare case in the dark races let alone races outside of the dark realm.

If Handsome Foxʼs party members had the fortune to be directly recruited by the devil merchant code then they would not have targeted Wyatt so that can be ruled out.

If they could get a devil merchant to provide each of them with a recommendation they would not have to wait a century or target Wyatt to become devil merchants, so this can also be ruled out as a possibility.

Leaving the Handsome Foxʼs party members with one option, each of them getting three recommendations from a demon merchant. This seemed more logical and had a high chance of possibility.

Including Handsome Fox, there were a total of five demigods who wanted to become devil merchants, so if they had a demon merchant giving or selling them the recommendations they needed to become a demon merchant that meant that the demon merchant needed 15 recommendation quotas to help the five demigods become devil merchants.

However, the demon merchants receive one recommendation quota every decade and the quota gets refreshed every decade regardless of whether the demon merchant uses it or not. Which means the demon merchant cannot accumulate recommendation quotas.

So it would take a demon merchant 15 decades to give all five demigods three recommendations each. Unless the demon merchant buys the recommendation quota from another demon merchant and sells it to the demigods at a higher price. However, considering that the demon merchant stood to make a lot by selling their own recommendations to the demigods over 15 decades the choice made by the demon merchant was evident.

This could explain why the demigods said it would take them a century to become devil merchants. If one were to take their words literally, then it meant that each of the demigods had already acquired a recommendation quota from the demon merchant.
