If not for the sake of his library card Wyatt would have already chosen to leave. Within the Inter-realm city, regardless of their power and influence, one cannot detain others.

”Your Highness Librarian, Wyatt is not like other demon merchants. He doesnʼt treat Dredre like a library tool and is always respectful,” Dredre spoke up defending her friendship with Wyatt.

”Is that so,” This time the voice sounded right next to Wyatt and Dredre, allowing them to trace its source right beside them. Both were shocked to see that the source of the voice was a humanoid yak in a fancy suit with a majestic long Viking beard.

Seeing the creature Dredreʼs small figure immediately bowed respectfully saying, ”?Your Highness, the Librarian.”

If not for the others, but for the book Pixies of the Infinity Library the Librarian was royalty and hence they treated him like one. And nobody complained as the Librarian was strong enough to hold that title.

”Dredre, let me correct you, I am not the librarian. I am just a part of him and am acting as his stand-in. So you do not have to be so formal with me. Just call me Zaltan,” Dredre and Wyatt, both were surprised by the words of the Zaltan.

”Zaltan, if you donʼt mind me asking what do you mean by part of the Librarian—” Wyatt asked Zaltan but seeing that he did not appreciate him addressing him as Zaltan Wyatt abruptly halted his question.

Turns out, the so-called part of the Librarian only permitted Dredre to address him as Zaltan, and as far as Wyatt was concerned, he was the Librarian for him, not the stand-in Librarian or Zaltan. Causing Wyatt to wonder if Zaltan had agreed to hear his appeal because of Dredre.

”To answer your question in the way you can understand, Wyatt, you can consider me as the son of the librarian,” Zaltan answered seeing that Wyatt had noticed his mistake in his actions. Though Wyatt did not apologize he did not continue to make the same mistake.

”I have seen, Your Highness Prince Zaltan,” Dredre greeted the prince Zaltan excitedly with great excitement. Even though she did not get to meet the boss she got to meet the boss Jr. It was totally worth it. She never knew that her boss had a family, especially a son.

Wyatt remained silent, as he could see that the Librarian Jr. had zero interest in him but Dredre was a different story. He seemed to get happy seeing her face lit up.

Wyattʼs observation was not wrong, Zaltan was indeed indifferent toward him but was affectionate towards Dredre. There was a reason for that. Since his birth, the librarian has never shown any form of interest in him and has thrown him to the pixies just like another chore. To top it Zaltan has only seen his father on rare occasions. He did not even know his relationship with him for years and believed himself to be a pixie.

So, the ones to raise him to adulthood were the pixies of the library. And they did a great job at that. To Zaltan, the pixies were like his family so when the demon merchants treated them like tools or in an ill-mannered way, he would get angry but the pixies have taught him to treat the customer well and never let his personal feelings come in the way of his business.

”Wyatt, your friendship with Dredre though odd has managed to impress me and I am feeling very generous today. So I have decided to reward you with a little information,” Zaltan said as he continued to add, ”As of today you are no longer the only demon merchant from your home world. Now your home world has a devil merchant, and two demon merchants including you. If my information is accurate there is someone else in your world with two demon merchant recommendation tokens, they need one more recommendation token to become a demon merchant. So if I were you I would be careful from now on.”

The information provided by Zaltan detonated an explosion in Wyattʼs mind. Until now he was under the impression that he was the only demon merchant in the card word but now the card word not only had an extra demon merchant but a devil merchant too. In shock, Wyatt blurted, ”How?”

”You have to figure out that for yourself as that was the end of my generosity. Now, let us talk business,” Zaltan said. He acted casually after just having revealed the huge news that Wyattʼs home realm had gained two new demon/devil merchants.

Listening to Zaltan, Dredre looked at Wyatt in concern as she knew that it was not uncommon for the demon merchants to hunt each other for the demon merchant recommendation token. Considering that Wyatt was of the demon master realm, Dredre was worried he would be targeted in his home world for his demon recommendation token.

The look of concern from Wyatt on Dredreʼs face did not escape Zaltanʼs eyes. He felt that Wyatt was not worthy of Dredreʼs concern. After all, he knew better than anyone that it took very little to gain a Pixieʼs trust but a lot to lose their trust. Since they were the kind that did not give up on kindness till the end. However, he respected Dredreʼs choice and chose to stay silent.

Wyatt could care less about what Zaltan was thinking as he was worried about what it meant for the card world to have two more demon/devil merchants. But then thinking that not everyone has access to troves of devil-grade ingredients like he had Wyatt calmed down. But the fact that there was a devil merchant in the card realm bothered him a lot, as devil merchants had a lot more privileges at their disposal than the demon merchants. He needed to figure out the identity of these two before deciding on their threat level.
