”How about I add the true name of the foreign devil to sweeten the pot?” 

Listening to Belphegor say this Ezra shouted in mind, ʼGot you bitch.ʼ

”Hahaha, Is this what you call taking care of your own?” Ezra asked Belphegor sarcastically. 

”My factionʼs decision doesnʼt concern, do we have a deal or not?” Belphegor ignored the dwarfʼs sarcasm. He couldnʼt care less about what the dwarf thought of him and his faction. Now that he knew that the forces backing the dwarf might be targeting his faction for the lease of the clubhouse land in sector DS0909 he wanted to put this mess behind him as soon as possible. 

If they were to hold a trial, without any surprise the Blight Brood Club would be held guilty and penalized with a year ban from using the devil merchant code. With all the demon and devil merchants out of commission for a year, the faction will be brought to its knees financially especially since they used all their reserve wealth to buy the rights to the card world. With no reserve wealth to fall back on soon they will have no choice but to start selling their stuff to survive.

Belphegor could foresee the self-destruction of the ʼSeven Princes of Hellʼ faction happening in his mind. This was considering that their enemies and other forces left them alone during their desperate times. If their enemies and other forces decided to take advantage of their desperate time and attack them, their destruction would be faster. Not even a miracle could help them at that point. 

Foreseeing that going to trial would only spill into a huge disaster for him and his faction, Belphegor no longer cared about trying to make sure if the forces behind the dwarf were really after his faction clubhouseʼs land lease and immediately decided to get the dwarf to settle as soon as possible. 

Because even if by off chance he was wrong about this and overestimating the situation, even a three-week ban would prove severe trouble for their faction especially if their enemies and other forces take advantage of this to make a quick buck. 

”If you said this earlier I might have agreed but now, I donʼt think the true name of a foreign devil is worth 28 devil merchant recommendation tokens. The price for this revenge is too steep,” Ezra said shaking his head as only a fool would agree to Belphegorʼs proposal drunk or not. 

”30 devil merchant recommendation tokens is a ridiculous number, I might as well try my luck with the trial,” Belphegor said standing up. Showing that he was not afraid of waking away. Then taking a breath he offered, ”Five devil merchant recommendation tokens and the true name of the foreign devil merchant. This is my bottom line take it or I am out of here to prepare for a trial.” 

The reason Belphegor was willing to give the dwarf the true name of Handsome Fox was not because Handsome Fox was worthless but because he was sure the dwarf could not harm Handsome Fox. 

The only reason Belphegor went as far as to convince his friends about buying the rights to the card world was because of Handsome Fox. Handsome Fox could not only get him the rights to the card world for half the price but also because Handsome Foxʼs unique ability could play a key role in helping his faction successfully conquer the card world when their predecessors not only failed horribly but were obliterated. 

Despite the importance of Handsome Fox in conquering the card world, Belphegor was willing to give up Handsome Foxʼs true name to the dwarf knowing that the dwarf was planning to kill him for revenge because Handsome Fox was in the card world and the only way for the dwarf and his forces to enter the card world was under the control of their faction. 

So even if the dwarf knew who Handsome Fox was and where he was the dwarf could not reach Handsome Fox therefore Belphegor did not mind giving the dwarf Handsome Foxʼs true name. The dwarf could still use a curse to kill Handsome Fox or use traditional demon/devil summoning methods to enter the card world and kill Handsome Fox but considering the cautious nature of Handsome Fox hand enough survival skills to survive them. 

Belphegor cannot forget the day he ran into Handsome Fox, he was one crafty bastard to deal with. For Belphegor to call someone crafty, Handsome Fox was truly a silent menace. Belphegor was impressed by this demigod, therefore he did not mind adding him to his collection. 

”At that price, you better go and prepare for the trial,” Ezra did not buy Belphegorʼs threat, but then he added, ”Consider you are in luck because I have a craving for revenge. 20 devil merchant recommendation tokens and the true name of the foreign devil. Take it or leave it.” 

Belphegor glanced at the dwarf thinking that 20 devil merchant recommendation tokens were still too much. He was amazed by how the dwarf continued to be so sharp even when drunk. He was beginning to envy the dwarfʼs tolerance for liquor. 

”That price is too steep for my faction to cash. How about this, neither you nor me, let us meet in the middle. Ten devil merchant recommendation tokens and the true name of the foreign devil,” Belphegor almost choked on his proposing this offer. He could not imagine parting with ten devil merchant recommendation tokens. But it helps him get the dwarf to settle faster, so be it. 

”In which realm is that meeting in the middle? 13 recommendation tokens and the true name of the foreign devil merchant, take it or get lost,” Ezra did not hesitate to use strong language to show Belphegor that this was his bottom line.
