"...Is it the D-rank silver beach dungeon that you are after?" Henricks believed that the reason Wyatt was after him apart from the revenge was because of the dungeon just like the rest of the world leaders. Therefore, he brought it up since Wyatt was too busy playing games with him to bring it up. He just wanted to negotiate a fair deal for his freedom, so he could get out of there as fast as possible. He was labeled as the most wanted criminal in all five regions, especially the central region's military. If the news of Field Marshal Heatsend trapping him were to reach their ears, things would get complicated. Complicated how? Everyone would want a piece of him. Especially, the masters. Now that they knew he was the most prime suspect behind his master's death, though they did not have much of an attachment to each other they would not mind calling in a few favors to kill the unfilial disciple of their late friend to avenge him. If the Masters got involved, Henricks believed the Southern Region would have little choice but to comply. The longer he stayed trapped the deeper his troubles would get, therefore unlike Wyatt and Field Marshal Heatsend, he did not have all the time in the world to get what he wanted from this forced negotiation. Therefore, he had no choice but to start the negotiation even though it would be disadvantageous to him. Listening to Henricks bring up the D-rank Silver Beach Gate Dungeon, the Field Marshal looked at Wyatt in concern. Her worries were not because Wyatt would be crossing her niece by cutting a deal with Henricks regarding the dungeon but because if Wyatt were to do so it would affect the general masses. Wyatt being too greedy was the true cause of Field Marshal Headsend's concern. Silver Milk Powder being a miracle soul energy stimulant many want it as much as they can get it. Therefore even before it hit the market the Southern Royal family had imposed many regulations on its sales to ensure it remained affordable and available to everyone and not just the rich and powerful. Field Marshal Heatsend believed the only possible reason Wyatt would want the D-rank Silver Beach gate dungeon was to leverage it to gain more share in the profits from the sales of the Silver Milk Powder. If Wyatt increased his share of profits, then the Royal Family who was bearing all costs from production to supply to distribution and other security & handling issues would have to increase the price of the Silver Milk Powder such that this venture was profitable for them. After all, the Silver Milk Powder project was supposed to help the Southern Region develop by improving its financial situation not increasing its debt. The Southern Region was a functioning state responsible for billions of citizens and their families, not a charity. The Field Marshal had wholeheartedly accepted Wyatt as her new liege and would follow him to the end of the world but she hoped Wyatt would not be greedy as this matter would impact billions of lives. Still, she would support whatever he ends up deciding. "What gave you that impression? What would I even do with the D-rank silver beach dungeon?" Wyatt looked at Henricks as if he was looking at a fool. Henricks was taken aback by Wyatt's questions. He wondered if was Wyatt playing dumb on purpose. Yet, pointed out, "I don't know, just out of the top of the head, can't you use it as leverage to gain more shares in profits from the sale of silver milk powder?"

"Why would I do that when I am already getting more than 30 percent of the profits from selling silver milk powder without doing shit? Besides, by seeking more share of the profits I will indirectly be increasing the price of the Silver Milk Powder making it unaffordable for many. That is not what I had in mind when I sold production and supply rights to the Southern Royal Family. Until or unless the Southern Royal Family abuses the monopoly they have in this domain thanks to me I am fine with my current share," Wyatt replied explaining he had no interest in increasing his share of profits from the sale of silver milk powder unless the Southern Royal Family started to abuse their monopoly over silver milk powder by raising its price or making it available only to a select few in the society. His words surprised Henricks, however Field Marshal, and Corey nodded thinking this was the Wyatt they knew. Many have come to know Wyatt as a cunning capitalist, and so has Henricks. But only people who worked with him closely knew that underneath his calculating exterior laid a generous heart. Many people saw incredible wealth in Wyatt's creations. However, he always charged people based on what they could afford while giving them his best in return. Just take the example of VR Slime cards and the VR Universe. Wyatt was handing out free VR Slime cards for the general masses but for those who can afford it, he charged accordingly. The VR Universe's currency exchange rate and subscription rate were so generous that everyone could access them. Not to forget the criminal rehabilitation and reintegration program that he wanted to start. Wyatt did not like to show it but he did indeed have a big generous heart, which was what Field Marshal Heatsend and Corey thought. The Field Marshal Heatsend even blamed herself for thinking that her liege was greedy. However, what they did not know was that Wyatt was not being generous he was just being calculative like always. He had already figured out that the shares he was getting from the silver milk powder sales were the limit and if he were to be greedy for more it would affect the business model Anna's mother was planning to adopt in its sales. He just did not want to be the guy who killed the golden goose to get all the golden eggs at once. Anna's mother was doing her best to give him maximum yield why ruin it with excessive greed? If anything Wyatt feared Anna's mother would use this point to have him reduce his share in the profits from the sales of the silver milk powder. He believed when they finally had the dreaded meeting, she would definitely bring this up.
