"No, you don't have to trouble Park with at. Just tell me, are you going to reimburse me for my work expenses without banning private trading using the Demon Merchant Codex," Corey's eyes grew redder and wetter, threatening to overflow if Wyatt did not agree to her demands.

"Corey, it is not that easy," Wyatt turned to Susan, asking her to help him coax Corey. But to his surprise, Susan avoided meeting his eyes. It was rare for Susan to be conflicted in choosing between Wyatt and Corey. Wyatt did not want to put her in the position to choose between Corey and him so he decided not to count on her this time.

As for Dredre, who knows that the contract was fair did not side with Corey but she was sad seeing her dumb friend cry so she too cried with her.

"Wyatt, we are working without pay for you, the least you could do is reimburse me for my work expenses. Am I asking too much?" With Susan on her side, Corey became bolder.

If it was some other job, Corey would not be wrong to ask Wyatt to reimburse her for work-related expenses but for a demon merchant, she was asking too much. As a demon merchant on Wyatt's behalf, Corey and Park would mostly be importing and exporting ingredients between the Card World and Devil Merchant Code using information gathered by Wyatt, to help him make a profit based on the price difference. There was a lot of money to be made in these sorts of trades.

If Corey were to use her wealth to make private trades based on the trades she did for Wyatt, she would easily earn a huge profit. This was the reason Wyatt was not willing to reimburse her for work-related expenses, he was canceling it out as a fee for Corey using the information gathered by him to do private trades.

Park was aware of this which was why she did not hesitate to sign the employment contract despite having read all of its restrictive clauses. Park knew many demon merchants who could not make it as demon merchants on their own and had to sell their bodies and souls to devil merchant code just to pay off their debt.

Seeing how Wyatt became an executive VVIP member of Infinity Library and could produce not one but two devil merchant recommendation tokens despite having become a demon merchant quite recently, Park knew if she were to follow him she would learn and earn a lot at the same time.

With so much to gain Corey asking Wyatt to reimburse her for work-related expenses was indeed too much. Wyatt knew Corey did not understand why Park signed such a restrictive employment contract but he did not want to waste time explaining every minute detail about the contract to her. Hence, the dilemma.

Fortunately for Wyatt, a fiery humanoid figure appeared next to Corey saving him the trouble. Returning from the inter-realm city, Park looked at the three who had teary red eyes and asked in concern, "What happened?"

"Corey, you discuss with Park. Once you guys have decided, call me. I will be right here," With the appearance of Park, while Corey was still in surprise, Wyatt took the chance to escape by isolating himself in a subspace within the seed world.

If Park was smart about this, she would set Corey straight and use this opportunity to discuss the matter of reassembling her old forces with Wyatt. With the backing of an executive VVIP member of the Infinity Library, most of the hurdles in her plan would vanish.

Seeing Wyatt leave in a hurry, Park frowned and repeated herself to the trio, "What happened? What do you want to discuss with me?"

"Haha, nothing," Corey tried to play it off as nothing but Park knew her better than her birth mother. She instantly knew Corey was trying to hide something from her. Not to forget other obvious tell signs such as the trio's teary red eyes.

Growing suspicious because of Corey's fishy behavior, Park did not waste time interrogating Corey for answers. Instead, she did not hesitate to enter Corey's title demon core and access Corey's most recent memories.

After a second, Park appeared next to Corey once again, and looking at Corey with a warm gaze she said, "Silly girl, why do you keep selling yourself short? You have done so much for me.

Because of you, I have achieved my dream, I have people in my life that I can call my family.

Thanks to you, now I have a second shot at my revenge. A change to avenge my fallen comrades.

As for your past, forgive yourself already, everyone makes mistakes. It takes a good soul to accept their mistake and rectify it."

"Park is right Corey, everybody makes mistakes, you have to learn to forgive yourself. Besides, I don't think that your pastself was that bad. Otherwise, she would never have chosen to change her ways and grow into you," Susan felt that Corey was being too hard on herself.

Corey might have done a lot of horrible things but it was out of ignorance as once she understood the consequences of her old ways she chose to change herself and was successful to a certain extent.

Learning about the miserable end of her past reincarnation, Corey Bright could have chosen to double down on her old ways and be more ruthless but she did not. Instead, decided to change her ways. Showing that she wasn't all that bad as she claimed.

"Corey is a good friend," Dredre said. She had no idea how the old Corey was but the present Corey has been a good friend to her.

"Thank you, guys," Receiving support from the three of her most cherished people in her life, Corey could not help but think that she might not have changed for the better in these past few days but she might have done something right to get three people to genuinely care for her and be willing to share her sadness.

"Now that this is settled, do not bother Wyatt about the employment contract, he has already been very generous with his terms. If you don't believe me ask Dredre," After consoling Corey, Park warned Corey not to bug Wyatt anymore about their employment contract.

Feeling Corey's gaze on her Dredre nodded vigorously.
