There were many reasons why Hernicks was so impulsive to risk being trapped by the Field Marshal to kidnap Clown Mask. One of them was the desperate situation of the Freedom Fighters. One would think after selling the stolen D-rank silver beach dungeon back to the Southern Princess the Freedom Fighter might have recovered from their financial crisis among all their other problems but they did not. As Henricks pointed out earlier, neither the Southern Princess nor Wyatt were easy people to deal with. They both might not be related but they both were cut out of the same cloth. They just knew how to take full advantage of a situation. Though the Freedom Fighters have agreed to return the stolen D-rank dungeon back to the Southern Region for a price, things were not as simple as they appeared because a dungeon was not something one could trade like normal goods. Especially, when the said dungeon was in another realm. It took a big favor from Morningstar University, months of labor, and lots of resources for the Southern Royal family to turn the D-rank Silver Beach dungeon in the Sky Blossom city into a consumable card that would allow them to relocate the dungeon to a location of their will. But thanks to Luna's betrayal, the card ended up in the Freedom Fighters' hand who used the consumable card to set up the D-rank Silver Beach dungeon in the Yellow Plains realm to access the silver milk from the dungeon, create silver milk powder, and sell it in the black market. Seeing how things turned out, the Freedom Fighters had seriously overestimated their ability. The silver milk powder was something the entire world coveted, even if they had moved to another realm, the Card apprentices not only managed to track their roots in the card world down but corner them, backing them all into the yellow plains. As a result, they lost contact with many of their branches in the Card world and lost almost all of their source of income in the card world driving them into bankruptcy. Honestly, if not for Luna having invested all the funding her R&D department received into Wyatt's VR universe and multiplying the investment by a few thousand times with her kin senses of judgment in playing the VR universe there would be no Freedom Fighters left right now. If not for Luna's whim, right now the Freedom Fighters would be in deep shit. The Freedom Fighters were a very big organization and had a lot of mouths to feed. Not to mention these mouths were not very demanding they just needed enough help to survive and live to fight for their cause another day. The Freedom Fighters had the most selfless members yet they were failing to give them the basic care a human would require. Their situation was that desperate. The main point here was that even though the Freedom Fighters agreed to return the D-rank silver beach dungeon they stole from the Southern Region back to the Southern Region for a reasonable price to get the other world leaders off their backs things were not that simple as now the D-rank silver beach dungeon was fixed in the yellow plains. The only way for the Freedom Fighters to return to the D-rank Silver Beach dungeon would be if they somehow managed to get their hands on the dungeon relocation apparatus from Morningstar University. Now that was impossible even with Henricks's abilities. Since the Southern Royal Family had blamed Henricks and Freedom Fighters for stealing the key components of the Dungeon relocation apparatus that they lent to them, Morningstar University had taken precautions to ensure that Henricks would not be successful again if he were to return to steal the rest of it. Though Morningstar University did not fully believe the Southern Royal family's story, they had no choice but to take precautionary measures as the Dungeon Relocation apparatus was one of a kind in the card world and priceless. Because of this problem even if the Freedom Fighters had promised to return the D-rank dungeon to the Southern Region for compensation, they could not go through with it. However, just when the Freedom Fighters were desperate, of all the people the Southern Princess came through. She was willing to lend them the Dungeon Relocation Apparatus that they needed and of course, it came with a catch. The Freedom Fighters would have to reduce their compensation for returning the D-rank dungeon to the Southern Region. The Freedom Fighters readily agreed to the Southern princess's proposal. They could not wait to get rid of the D-rank Silver Beach dungeon as fast as possible so that they would no longer be at the center of attention of all the world leaders and make some profits while they were at it. However, despite the Southern Princess promptly providing them the dungeon relocation apparatus that she had prepared using stolen key components from the Morningstar University, and was even kind enough to give the resources required to operate the dungeon relocation apparatus the whole process of turning the dungeon into a consumable card was time-consuming. Since the Southern Princess was not willing to give them advance on their agreed-upon compensation for the return of the D-rank silver beach dungeon the Freedom Fighters were cash-strapped even with Luna and other captains doing their best to pull in money from the VR universe. Following Luna's lead, using their expertise from the Card World in their respective fields, the Captains from the Freedom Fighters were quickly able to establish themselves in the VR universe and earn some income. However, because they severely lacked the VR slime cards they were not able to expand their business in the VR universe using their abundant manpower. Regardless, with whatever they managed to salvage from the VR universe they barely had enough to keep the Freedom Fighters operational. Due to their tight financial situation the Freedom Fighters were arriving at an expiration date that would not be there in the first place if they had not overestimated themselves and stolen the D-rank dungeon. As the person who signed off on this series of misfortune that had befallen the Freedom Fighters, Henricks was more desperate than anyone else to make up for his bad bet and impulsively fell down a rabbit hole. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
