Following Wyattʼs request, Dredre contacted Zaltan through the direct line. To her surprise, Zaltan immediately answered her call. As if he was waiting or expecting it. However, Zaltan who was enthusiastic to hear from Dredre became less enthusiastic when learned that she called him because Wyatt needed his help and wanted to discuss it over a meeting. 

ʼConnect this call with Wyattʼs demon merchant codex. I donʼt think a meeting is necessary, whatever he needs to discuss he can discuss it in this call.ʼ

Listening to Zaltan, Dredre had no choice but to do as he ordered her even though she really wanted to get Wyatt the meeting with Zaltan as he asked her to. So keeping Zaltanʼs call on hold she contacted Wyatt and informed him about Zaltanʼs intentions while preparing to connect their calls. Now that Zaltan asked to discuss things over a call, Wyatt really did not have any choice or say about this. He could either take it or throw a fit and end up offending Zaltan. 

ʼIt is okay Dredre, thank youʼ 

Wyatt knew that Zaltan and his status were totally different, even Belhpegor would not be able to get a one-on-one meeting with Zaltan let alone him, if not for Dredre Wyatt would not even have the chance to talk to Zaltan over a call.

Despite knowing this Wyatt asked Dredre to help him arrange a meeting with Zaltan because he wanted to see if Zaltan still held him in a high regard as when he made Dredre his exclusive Pixie. With all he had discovered about the Pixies, this was Wyattʼs way of gauging Zaltanʼs intentions. 

Seeing how he would not even bother to meet Wyatt in person in the inter-realm city, it was clear that Zaltan did not seem to treat him the same when he made Dredre his exclusive Pixie. What changed? Nothing changed, Zaltan recruited him as Pawn and he was being treated as such. It was Wyatt who had misjudged his role considering what he had deduced about Pixies and their prowess. 

This puzzled Wyatt, but how would Zaltan know that Wyatt, a mere low-realm mortal, not only saw the miraculous nature of the Pixie Dust but also used it to form his own celestial force? Wyatt wondered if he was overestimating his role in Zaltanʼs plans, which meant that Zaltan was underestimating Wyatt. 

This begs the question why Wyatt? Why did Zaltan choose Wyatt to receive an exclusive Pixie of all demon/devil merchants in the devil merchant code? Zaltan did say that he was the only demon merchant who was on friendly terms with his book guide Pixie. 

Zaltan looking for a good babysitter for his Pixie experiment, was that all there was to this? Did he not care for the casualties of Pixies in his experiment? Or was he not worried about the power of Pixies being revealed? Regardless of his intentions with this experiment, what about the help he asked for from Wyatt in return for his favor? Was it all just a ruse to not make him suspicious? 

Well, many people were more likely to reject anything given to them for free but buy the same when sold to them for a penny. 

Wyatt shook his head, clearing all the doubts and questions clouding his mind regarding Zaltanʼs intentions with him. Currently, Zaltan and his status were realms apart. If not for Zaltan reaching out to him to conduct his experiment Wyatt would not have enough social standing to even know of someone like Zaltan. 

So according to the social norms, Wyatt should be grateful that Zaltan was willing to take his call and acknowledge his existence. Regardless of his potential, in front of the Infinity Library, current Wyatt was a spec of dust not worth mentioning. The Infinity Library dominated the Dark Realm and the Myriad Realms, so ending a small-time mortal from a lower realm in the Myriad Realm would not be a big deal for them, unlike the ʼSeven Princes of Hellʼ faction who had to empty their treasury, gather all of their scattered manpower, strategize for months even before they actually launched a full-scale invasion on Card World. 

Infinity Library can be considered as one of the ruling class powers in the Dark Realm or the entire Myriad Realms. This was why Wyatt was seeking a meeting with the Zaltan before planning to meet the Cuth Diya at the card worldʼs only devil merchantsʼ hideout. For a ruling class power, the Infinity Library might have ways to help Wyatt continue his con as Chaos Dwarf Ezra Foolhar. 

Regardless of Zaltanʼs plans for him, Wyatt was now in need of his help, to be exact the help of Infinity Library. Therefore, even if he did not get a meeting with Zaltan, he was satisfied that he got to talk with Zaltan. Well, that was based on how this conversation went. 

ʼWyatt, you are on the call with young master Zaltan,ʼ Dredreʼs voice reminded Wyatt that she had connected their call. 

ʼThank you, Dredre,ʼ Wyatt thanked Dredre and then said, ʼZaltan, you are a busy person I will get right to the point. I want your help with unlocking the executive function of the VVIP membership of the Infinity Library.ʼ

ʼWyatt, if you know about the executive function of the VVIP membership then you should be fully aware of the unlocking conditions of the executive function. So I will not go over them but I have to warn you those conditions are mandatory for a VVIP member to unlock the executive function. Even I have very little authority when it comes to the fulfillment of the requirements of these conditions. Therefore, I can be of no help to you here,ʼ Zaltan was not surprised by the fact that Wyatt asked him about the executive function available for the VVIP members of the Infinity Library. Anyone would lust for it considering the authority and benefits it gave to the VVIP members. What surprised him was Wyatt didnʼt ask him about it sooner
