Date: Unspecified Time: Unspecified Location: Myriad Realms, Lil. Red Storm, Seed World, Trophy Section, Inter-realm city, Sector DS0909, Chaos Dwarven District

Going through the contract drafted by Wyatt, the Chaos Dwarf's face darkened with fury. It was enraged. Known for being a miser, it despised the idea of spending even a single penny unnecessarily, let alone paying offerings to the Devil Merchant Code for something it deemed frivolous. It would rather let its workshop be blacklisted by the Devil Merchant Code and rely on the Elder Chaos Dwarfs managing the district to pay the fine for removing the blacklist status. After all, maintaining the reputation of the Chaos Dwarven District took precedence for the Elders.

So, how could it sit idly by and let Wyatt not only make it cover the duel's costs but also demand its workshop in the Chaos Dwarven District as the duel's reward? It would rather be buried alongside its entire wealth than allow such an outcome. Driven by its innate weakness for greed, it decided to take a page out of Wyatt's playbook—blow the situation out of proportion and draw the attention of the Elder Chaos Dwarfs. With their privileges granted by the Devil Merchant Code, the Elders could intervene and teach this unknown demon merchant a harsh lesson. Even if Wyatt fled to another sector or left the inter-realm city entirely, they would track him down and bring him to justice, to preserve the Chaos Dwarves' reputation in the inter-realm network and the Dark Realms.

"Hey, buddy, slow your roll. I'm not demanding your workshop for myself," Wyatt interjected, his voice calm yet deliberate, as though addressing a tantruming child. "The workshop will go to our guild's deputy guild master. He's a Chaos Dwarf, just like you. He'll receive my winnings in my place. If I win, you'll transfer the rights to your workshop to our deputy guild master and clear all those fines you've been piling up."

Wyatt's words were calculated, his expression impassive, though his sharp gaze hinted at his understanding of the dwarf's inner turmoil. He knew well that workshops in the Chaos Dwarven District could only be traded between Chaos Dwarfs and not to other races or species in the myriad realms. With Primordial Myriad Devil Transformation skill, Wyatt and his Primordial Spirits could assume any number of forms, mimicking various species. Even the Devil Merchant Code who had brought him to the inter-realm city would need to inspect his body in the physical plane to discern his true race.

This detail was precisely why Wyatt had avoided specifying in the contract scroll that the winnings would go to the so-called deputy guild master. It was all part of his plan to pave the way for Ezra Foolhar's entry into the Chaos Dwarven District. Ezra would ultimately debut in sector DS0909 as the best crafter there ever was—or ever would be. Wyatt was thinking beyond international; he was thinking interstellar.

The Chaos Dwarf, who had believed it had Wyatt cornered, suddenly found itself at a loss for words. It hesitated, its mouth opening and closing as it processed the unexpected explanation. However, its stubbornness refused to let it back down entirely.

"I didn't know there were so many duels in the happening Duel Realm every minute."

"That's because many demons and devil merchants think it's better to resolve their issues through a duel than to appeal to the devil merchant code, only to get ripped off by it and end up with a conclusion that benefits no one except the devil merchant code itself."

"Damn, the devil merchant code is the biggest bully of all. I wonder what it does with all the offerings it collects."

"Someone said it's preparing to break through to transcendence, but seriously, it's been so many millennia, and it still hasn't gathered enough resources?"

"I assume it failed all its previous attempts to transcend and keeps trying, which is why it needs so many resources."

"I found it. I've posted it on my personal realm network. Scan my demon codex ID to check it."

"Aren't you a shameless demon merchant? Fine, let me scan it. If I have free time, I'll check out your personal realm network."

"Thank you, boss."
