[Dear Demon Merchant,

Your appeal has been processed. The evidence submitted by you is enough to set a date for trial. The accused(Blight Brood Club) has been informed and chosen to settle. If the victim(Infinity Library, Exec.) chooses not to settle a trial will be held. Please chose,

(Settle/Trial)

Note: If both parties are unable to reach a settlement after choosing the option 'Settle' then they can still proceed with trial.] 

Learning the message from the devil merchant code was about his appeal, Wyatt marveled that the devil merchant code had acted fast considering the big time zone difference. 

Reading the message Wyatt's eyes shone brilliantly, seeing that his plans for the Blight Brood Club were going smoothly. He expected the club to choose to settle it behind doors instead of going to trial because Wyatt not only had solid proof against them but he had a bigger background. The 'Seven Princes of Hell' faction was nothing compared to 'Infinity Library.' It was a wise choice on Wyatt's part to become an executive VVIP member of the Infinity Library at the risk of rubbing the Librarian Jr. the wrong way. 

If not for their fear of Infinity Library the Blight Brood Club would still take their chances going to the trial instead of trying to settle it peacefully even though Wyatt had solid proof of their crime. Because even if convicted they could convince the devil merchant code to take it easy on the verdict by making a sizeable offering to it. 

This would not work now because regardless of what they offered to the devil merchant code it will never take their side against Infinity Library especially if the Infinity Library were in the right. Not to mention, if they lose the trial the devil merchant code would give them the most harsh verdict just to please the Infinity Library. These were the few privileges the Infinity Library enjoyed for being one of its biggest offerers. Therefore, the Blight Brood Club had no choice but to try and settle with Ezra instead of letting this matter go to trial where they were guaranteed to be penalized harshly. 

"Settle," Wyatt chose to settle instead of going to trial even though the trial would favor him because the trial would not be able to give him what he was after. The devil merchant code would punish the Blight Brood Club with the harshest verdict but as of now, Wyatt had other important goals that took priority over seeing the 'Seven Princes of Hell' being punished. 

[Dear Demon Merchant, 

You chose to settle. As the victim please specify the venue and time for the settlement discussion. 

Note: If you cannot think of a venue devil merchant code will provide one.] 

"Venue: Infinity Library Exec. VVIP lounge in Inter-realm city, Time: Right now," Wyatt answered. 

[Dear Demon Merchant,

Your Choice of Venue and Time has been informed to the accused. Please wait to receive an update from them.

Note: If the accused fail to give an update in time, they will be held in contempt.]

Though he planned to repair his soul right now, the settlement took priority because Wyatt could not give Belphegor and his devil friends time. The more time they have in their hands the more likely that they see through the facade of Ezra Foolhar. 

Wyatt was willing to bet his life that Belphegor and his buddies were doing everything in their power, even cashing in their old favors, to learn about Ezra Foolhar and his mysterious background. By now they might have caught on to the fact that Ezra Foolhar was just a pseudonym used by the young chaos dwarf and going crazy knowing that they fell for the most basic trick in a demon merchant's book of tricks. 

It did not matter to Wyatt if they realized that Ezra Foolhar was not a real name as long as they did not realize that the person they were dealing with not only did not have the support of an Elder Choas Dwarf but he was not of Choas Dwarf race. 

If they did, then he had a problem because that would decrease Ezra's deterrence. Someone from a powerful race would not pretend to be of another race or tribe regardless of the reason as it would be disrespectful toward their race and tribe. The natives of the dark realm took serious pride in their races and tribes, they would not tolerate any form of disrespect to their race and tribe. 

The consequence of them learning this was very serious because then they would have other options open to them. Such as seeking help from other Exec. VVIP members to seek leniency from the devil merchant code. 

In the worst case, Blight Brood Club might even seek a Chaos Dwarf with Exec. VVIP membership for help, using the fact that their rival pretended to be a Choas Dwarf to con them. The Choas Dwarf would agree since this would be the best way for them to send a message to all especially the dark realm's black market, which was crawling with fake Choas Dwarf products. 

However, all this can be avoided if Ezra's chaos dwarf act was not revealed as no one in their sane mind would be willing to offend an Elder Chaos Dwarf who also happens to be an Exec. VVIP member of the Infinity Library. The fame and prestige the chaos dwarf realm held in the dark realm were equal to those ruler class factions. The most talented chaos dwarfs exclusively worked for the ruler class factions. So many would jump on the opportunity to help a chaos dwarf. 

This was mostly why the Blight Brood Club was so docile and behaved right now. Otherwise following their usual style they would not only go to trial but do everything in their power to harass Ezra and make his life a living hell. Just as Belphegor was doing in Wyatt's case. If not for Handsome Fox being backed by Belphegor, he would not be as big threat as he was being right now.

[Dear Demon Merchant, 

The accused has agreed to meet you at your choice of venue and time. 

Note: Please do not miss the settlement decision. Otherwise, you will be held in contempt.]

Receiving the update from the devil merchant code, Wyatt prepared to head to the venue. To meet the negotiators from Blight Brood Club. Hopefully, one of them was Devil Mutt Diya, which would make it easier for Wyatt to control the negotiation. But considering that the club was in this deep mess because of his actions the chances of that happening were near zero. 

Thinking that he was asking too much, Wyatt shook his head as he found a comfortable spot to enter the sector DS0909 of the inter-realm city. Arriving there he was greeted by the fountain and the busy crowd. He joined the crowd and headed to the center of the sector where the most luxurious branch of the Infinity Library in sector DS0909 was present instead of going to the usual one in the rookie mall. 

Entering the Infinity Library, Wyatt was immediately greeted by an emerald green Pixie, "Welcome to Infinity Library esteemed member. I am JiJi. It seems you are assigned a designated exclusive book guide pixie. But it appears, your book guide is not available—" 

"Hello, JiJi. Dredre is helping me with my stuff in my world. Therefore, she is unavailable currently. So, I will be in your care today," Interrupting JiJi, Wyatt explained to her why Dredre was not available to make things as clear as possible so that it would not affect Dredre later. 

"I see. Then I will be your temporary book pixie guide," JiJi nodded in understanding and then asked, "So, how may I be of your service today esteemed guest?" 

"JiJi, you can just call me by my name, Dalton Wyatt," Wyatt informed JiJi, he could never get used to being called an esteemed guest. He guessed that since he was a VVIP member now the pixies were more respectful and fearful of him. However, he preferred them to be themselves around him because these little cuties were the best medicine for depression and stress. Especially their jolly smile and giggles, they were like divine chimes to one's ears. 

"Sure, Wyatt," JiJi replied. Looking at Wyatt's genuine smile, she too began to relax around him. 

"JiJi, show me to the Exec. VVIP lounge and I am planning on entertaining a few guests, is it okay?" Wyatt informed JiJi, asking if it was okay for him to entertain a few guests at the Exec. VVIP lounge. If he had some time, he would not mind making small talk with JiJi, especially about Dredre and her well-being away from her tribe. 

"Sure, Wyatt. I will book a box for you so that you can entertain your guest without any interruption and disruption," JiJi proposed. However, this was mostly because she did not want Wyatt and his guest disturbing other members.
