Dredre was puzzled, she had no idea why the Zaltan kept insisting that Wyatt was troubling her and that she was covering for him. She could not imagine Wyatt troubling her as Wyatt had been nothing but good to her. She could wonder what reason Zaltan had to believe that Wyatt would. Unable to think of it, she strongly clarified, 'Young Master, Wyatt is not troubling me in any way. I do not know what gave you that idea but trust me, Wyatt would never trouble me.'

Zaltan who had already won the wager between them and Wyatt in their mind paused listening to Dredre defend Wyatt despite him ordering her to be honest to him. Knowing that the pixies would not disobey him, Zaltan wondered if they had begun to celebrate his victory too soon and asked, 'So, what is this call about?'

'Young Master, I have called you to inform you that Demon Merchant Wyatt has successfully become a 6th-grade contributor to the Infinity Library and he was wondering if you could help him unlock the executive function of his VVIP membership now,' Dredre reported to Zaltan enthusiastically forgetting about the previous ordeal. Dredre was not only happy for Wyatt as his friend but also as his exclusive book guide pixie because her exclusive client becoming a 6th-grade contributor to the Infinity Library reflected well on her work.

'What?' Zaltan exclaimed unable to believe their ears and believed that they heard wrong and asked Dredre to repeat herself. 

'Wyatt is now a 6th-grade contributor to the Infinity Library—' Dredre was about to repeat her entire report but was interrupted by Zaltan, 'How is that possible?'

Zaltan was shocked, they were completely wrong about why Dredre was calling them. She was not calling them to tell them that Zaltan had won the wager between them and Wyatt but to inform them that Wyatt had won the wager between them and Wyatt, himself. He now not only felt stupid for celebrating his victory too early but could not find himself to believe that had managed to become a 6th-grade contributor to the Infinity Library so quickly. 

'Well, Wyatt submitted quite a few books to the library which have earned him a large sum of contribution allowing him to skip a few grades and directly become a 6th-grade contributor to the Infinity Library,' Dredre explained to Zaltan finding his shock valid as Wyatt did rise in the contribution grade very quick. 

'What kinds of books did he contribute to the library? How can they be worth so much contribution that he can directly become a 6th-grade contributor? Send me the list of books submitted by him to the library,' Zaltan ordered Dredre to send him the list of the books Wyatt had contributed to the library. 

After receiving the list from the library, Zaltan put the books through the book contribution calculation array formation to recount Wyatt's contribution believing that there must have been a mistake during the first time. But to his surprise, there was no mistake and to his shock, the evaluation of the books contributed by the Wyatt was very high. Even though the topic of the book was pretty common, the theories they proposed were new and fresh. 

Receiving such an outstanding evaluation for books contributed by Wyatt, Zaltan was shocked and wondered how an unknown realm like Card World would have so many books that would possess such a unique perspective of the cosmos. So he checked the author of a book out of curiosity and to his astonishment, the book was all written by the demon merchant Dalton Wyatt. 

Thinking of something Zaltan suddenly began to check the authors of all the books submitted by Wyatt and was dumbfounded to find that all books were written by him. But soon Zaltan calmed down because it was not uncommon for the demon merchants to declare themselves as the authors of the books they contributed to the library even though they had no idea what the books they contributed were about. So, Zaltan believed Wyatt had shamelessly stolen the work of the people from his native realm. It was not a big deal as the Librarian, himself, practiced such behavior. 

However, this made Zaltan look at Wyatt in a new light because even though Wyatt had the books to gain himself the minimum required contribution to Infinity Library to unlock the executive function he did not immediately contribute them to the Library to earn contribution. Instead, he had Dredre contact Zaltan and pestered them to help him with the million reading hour condition to unlock the executive function. 

Had Zaltan known that Wyatt had enough contribution, he would never have underestimated him as a demon merchant let alone proposed the wager in the first place. Rather he would have resolutely rejected Wyatt's constant pestering, instead of proposing a wager in the heat of the moment and satisfying his sadistic urges by demeaning Wyatt for not coming with appropriate stakes for the wager. Let alone agreeing to a wager with unfair stakes because he believed he would win the wager feeling Wyatt was incapable of winning the wager.

Zaltan could only wonder if this was all part of Wyatt's plan or just a mere coincidence. After all, Wyatt kept saying that he could gather the required contribution to unlocking the executive function. It was them who underestimated Wyatt for being a low-realm mortal from an unknown realm with very little potential. For the sake of not hurting his pride and ego, Zaltan could only consider that all this was just a mere coincidence as there was no evidence to suggest that Wyatt had planned all this from the start. 

'Young Master Zaltan, Wyatt asked if you may help him unlock the executive function now,' not receiving a reply from Zaltan for a while, Dredre suddenly spoke up reminding him about the task at hand.
