A Chaos Dwarf client was indeed worth Mak Tul to ignore his duties as Manager of the Blight Brood club and attend to a client which was the job of a regular staff. 

The Chaos Dwarf knew their value better than anyone. Therefore they dared to be arrogant and prideful, which also made them very cautious. 

People tend to get possessive of precious stuff. For the strong be it Chaos Dwarf or Mythical grade item, they were all the same, nothing but mere possessions. If they want it they get to have it. 

This was why Chaos Dwarfs were very careful when choosing their client. If they placed their trust in a wrong person they might end up becoming nothing more than a prized possession for the strong. 

Chaos Dwarven Race's pickiness was known to all, as many approached them for their craft but only a few were lucky enough to own a Chaos Dwarven creation. 

Mak Tul knew about this better than anyone else as for centuries the workshop of the 'Seven Princes of Hell' faction has been actively trying to recruit a Chaos Dwarf among their ranks hoping that adding one Chaos Dwarf to their ranks would attract other of their kind. However, the reputation of their faction was not that high among the dark races. So for the Chaos Dwarf who had many invitations available, they never even looked at their faction. 

So, this time if Mak Tul were able to just build a good connection between their faction and the Chaos Dwarf he would be making a huge contribution toward the faction and would be rewarded handsomely. After all, finding a puddle of muddy water in a dry well was akin to a miracle. 

Hence, Mak Tul did not dare to show his arrogance of being the manager of the Blight Brood club in front of the Chaos Dwarf who did not even bother to introduce himself to him when he was demanding their assistance. 

"What is it? Is there a problem? If you are not up to the task forget it, I will just give on the realm to cut my losses," Wyatt said playing his role as the Chaos Dwarf client to the fullest. 

Mak Tul looked at the Chaos Dwarf and knew that he did not plan on giving up the realm to cut his losses, instead, he was using it as an excuse to leave here and find another organization to get what he wants. 

Like all Dark races, the Chaos Dwarfs were driven by greed, ambition, and pride. Even if the Chaos Dwarf were willing to suppress his greed and ambition, and suffer a loss, his pride would not allow him to just up and leave the lower realm. Unless he returned the humiliation he suffered. Otherwise, why would an arrogant and prideful Chaos Dwarf stoop so low to search for a faction that was known to kill their kind for a price? 

Mal Tul now understood why the Chaos Dwarf did not bother to introduce himself to him because the Chaos Dwarf was on the fence about employing their Blight Brood Club to complete his task. By not revealing his identity the Chaos Dwarf was now free to leave their establishment without having to worry about them backstabbing him by contacting his rivals and informing them about his plans for them in the lower realm. 

Right now nothing was stopping the Chaos Dwarf from getting up and leaving as Mak Tul did not even know which part of the Dark Realm the Chaos Dwarf was from let alone his rivals he was hiring them to sabotage. Thinking of this Mak Tul started to look at the young Chaos Dwarf in a new light. He appeared cunning and decisive despite his age and lack of experience in the Dark Realms and the Devil Merchant Code.

"Esteemed Guest, please don't be hasty and misunderstand my intentions. Without knowing the exact risk it would not be fair for my men and you to give you a valuation even if it is a rough estimate. But since you insist I will give you one. But before that how would like to pay for our services," Mak Tul said immediately to appease the Chaos Dwarf. 

Mak Tul understood that the Chaos Dwarf would rather give up employing the Blight Brood Club than say anything that would compromise his identity. Therefore he no longer insisted on the Chaos Dwarf revealing more information about the task. 

Even though the Blight Brood took on shady tasks they were serious when it came to protecting their own. After all, it was very hard to find/cultivate trustworthy demons who would stay loyal to the faction when they had no qualms about killing their kind. 

"Your services for mine," Wyatt said arrogantly as if his work was worth more than the service the Blight Brood would be providing him with. 

Mak Tul already knew the Chaos Dwarf planned to exchange its service for their faction's help but after receiving an official confirmation he could not help but feel he hit the jackpot. He tried hard to maintain an indifferent expression on his face in preparation for the negotiation up ahead but his bright eyes gave his feelings away. 

"Sure, that is acceptable," Mak Tul said imagining the uproar in the club and the faction when he announced that he had managed to get the service of a Chaos Dwarf. He could already hear the praise of his jealous colleagues and satisfied immediate superior. 

Mak Tul immediately calmed down and stopped himself from celebrating prematurely. Collecting his thoughts he looked at the young Chaos Dwarf preparing to give him his term. Previously, he might have underestimated him but now that he had experienced his conniving mind first hand he did not dare to underestimate the Chaos Dwarf because its age and lack of experience.
