Handsome Fox began to recall the events that transpired wondering how could he have messed up big time. The reason he agreed to Muth Diyaʼs plan despite it defying the faction orders and the executive VVIP member of the infinity library backing Ezra was because of the greed of owning a Chaos Dwarf Slave. The moment the Choas Dwarf saw through his undead incarnation when a powerful devil-like Muth Diya was not even suspicious, he wanted it to join his collection. 

Aside from the part about satisfying his sadistic urges, the reason Handsome Fox strongly agreed with Muth Diyaʼs reason to not follow the faction orders and complete the mission their own way was as long as he controlled Ezra not only would he manage to keep the faction happy but would also be able to, at best fool Ezraʼs elder into believing that Ezra joined their faction willingly or at worse blackmail Ezraʼs elder with Ezraʼs freedom. 

However, as time had proven, it turns out they had seriously underestimated the means of an executive VVIP member of the Infinity Library. A soul protection spirit item was already rare but to think Ezraʼs elder had given some sort of revival item to a Demon Master, Handsome Fox could not warp his mind around it. If he had such precious items he would never be able to share them with others regardless of how much they meant to him as he loved himself the most. Werenʼt the Devilʼs the same? Was it not the definition of the word devil? 

”Do you have any idea of what kind of revival item Ezra used to survive—” In the middle of his question, Handsome Fox noticed Muth Diyaʼs face suddenly turned pale as if he had seen a ghost and he appeared to be sweating. Seeing the devil sweat over a message, Handsome paused wondering if he was missing something. He knew that they had screwed up big time by underestimating the means of an executive VVIP member of the infinity library. But it was not the end of the world.

While Handsome Fox and Cuth Diya received one message, Muth Diya received two messages with a few seconds delay between them. The first one was the same as the one received by the other two but the second one was something Muth Diya was hoping to avoid at all cost.

[Muth Diya, 

Congratulations on turning your son into the successor of the Hell of Contamination. 

Just in case your dumb ass did not get the point of this message- yes, I am blackmailing you. Wait for me to contact you like a good dog.

Regards,

Your New Master.]

”Whatʼs wrong, Muth Diya?” Handsome Fox asked. Though he hated the arrogant devil, for him to be scared to this point something terrible must have happened.

”Nothing,” Muth Diya instinctively tried to cover up the second message. Though Handsome Fox was not native to the Dark Realm and had no idea of the successor of the Hell Of Contamination, it was not hard to find the related information about it in the devil merchant code so it was best Handsome Fox did not know of it. 

”Um… Come on, we are partners in crimes now, a little trust in each other will take our partnership a long way. Donʼt you think so?” Handsome Fox knew a frightened goose when he saw one and right now Muth Diya was showing all the signs of being one. 

”Tell me that in person, not through an undead incarnation then I will believe you. Besides, because of your incarnation our plan almost spiraled,” Muth Diya had no plans about becoming equal with a devil merchant not native to the dark realm. Let alone share his deepest secret for which he has been preparing for decades. 

”What are you talking about, the plan was doomed to fail from the start with the superior spirit items that Midget had stacked on him. But you are right about meeting in person, the original body will meet you in the inter-realm city to get the lease of your spirit shack,” Handsome Fox reminded Muth Diya about the compensation they agreed on for his service. 

”You still have the galls to ask for compensation?” Muth Diya shouted in rage. 

”Hey, I did what you asked me to. I scared him into committing suicide by self-detonation, it is not my fault he had a revival spirit item on him,” Handsome Fox argued shamelessly. 

”You-u, fine but on a condition that you will not throw me under the bus when the faction conducts an investigation into this matter,” Muth Diya did not even like to be around Handsome Fox but right now he had to endure until his son was fat and juicy enough for him devour him. Once he gets his hands on the Rule Unity Title demon core, let alone the faction even Ezraʼs elder would not be a threat to him. 

”Deal,” Handsome Fox agreed with a wide grin.

Just then the three merchant codex rang notifying them that they had received a message. All three read their respective messages and then locked eyes with each other in dismay knowing the others had received the same message. 

”For a midget, he is quick. He has already taken action,” Handsome Fox scoffed. The message they received was from the faction, it was regarding the failure of their mission and Ezra using the contract to come after the entire Blight Brood Club. 

”It seems he has taken action using the infinity library through the executive VVIP member privileges. With the infinity library involved, there is no way our faction will be able to come out of this one unscathed let alone come out on top. Let us hope that the faction does not plan to sacrifice us to appease the midget and his elder,” Muth Diya said knowing that the faction did not tolerate failure but he knew the risks when he took matters into his hands. 

Muth Diya could see all the name and merits he had earned in the faction vanish over this one failure. But it was all worth it. If he gets to redo it he would not change a single thing about it. Right now he was not scared but rather confident that regardless of what happened as long as he was patient enough he would come on top. 

As for Ezra blackmailing him, Muth Diya thought that the midget would have no idea what he was planning to do. Once he achieves his goal, he will immediately become a ruler class being, not just in the Dark Realm but in the entire myriad realms. Then he will show the midget whoʼs the master.

”Whatever,” Handsome Fox brushed off the message from the faction as if it was not a big deal. He acted as if this did not concern him. Which caused Muth Diya to frown. 

This demigod has been haughty and arrogant since they met, Muth Diya wondered what gave Handsome Fox so much confidence. Other than the fact that Belphegor recruited him into the faction in exchange for helping the faction buy the rights to the card realm for a huge discount he really knew very little about Handsome Fox.

Naked Wyatt hovered on a swamp in his original form, changing into a new set of clothes he accessed his demon merchant codex. After seeding 4 messages, he then made an appeal against the Blight Brood Club with devil merchant code for breach of contract under the name of Infinity Library thanks to the privileges of an executive VVIP member. 

Even though Muth Diya and Handsome Fox had blocked the inter-realm travel by scrambling the surrounding space Wyatt had two plans to escape their grasp. 

The first one was to make use of the Pseudo Calamity Soul Gems he had given to Cuth Diya. The second one was to escape by using the devil merchant codeʼs inter-realm travel through the spiritual plane.

After detonating his physical body that was captured by Handsome Fox, Wyattʼs soul could escape to the Puesdo Calamity Soul Gem on Cuth Diya and restore his body when alone. But Wyatt was now able to exist on physical and spiritual planes simultaneously thanks to Dredreʼs pixie dust. Hence, he did not have to go with the first option when the second option was much more convenient. 

When Wyatt chose to detonate his physical body in the physical plane meanwhile his spiritual body which was in the spiritual plane made use of the inter-realm travel function of the devil merchant code to help move itself to the Puesdo Calamity Soul Gem that he had hidden in the outskirts of the sky blossom city. Space was only blocked in the physical plane not in the spiritual plane, and thanks to his exclusive privilege Wyatt could use the inter-realm travel function to teleport his spiritual body without his physical body across the realms. 

Wyatt could have directly spawned himself in the basement of the new TSR headquarters but the city was now crawling with demigods as the Southern Royal family had increased security measures after the Handsome Fox incident. 

Having made the appeal with the devil merchant code all that was left was for the parties involved to agree on a hearing date. Now the ball was in the ʼSeven Prince of Hellʼ factionʼs court, how they planned to settle it was up to them. As for Wyatt, he returned to Sky Blossom City in disguise. He could not wait to test the technique he had developed by removing the roots from Coreyʼs soul pathways.
