[Demon Merchant Ezra calling… Accept/Ignore/Reject]

"Why is this damn dwarf calling me now? Because of him, I have been banished to this wasteland. What more does he want from me?" Devil Merchant Ezra muttered to himself with a deep frown, learning that the caller was Chaos Dwarf Ezra.

'Should just ignore his call?' Muth Diya wondered looking at his son who was taking too damn long to conduct the human sacrifice. Irritated he yelled, "What the fuck is taking you so long to harvest a hundred thousand mortal souls?"

"Give me a minute, I am trying something. I think it will help me better use my new abilities," Cuth Diya replied, trying his best to stall. After wrecking his brain for so long, he finally thought of a valid reason to stall for time.

"We don't have time for your experimentation, just began harvesting the souls already," Card Demigod Handsome Fox spoke up.

"If you guys are in such a hurry then just leave me here and go. I will contact you once I am done, you come and get me," Cuth Diya retorted to the two impatient devil merchants and added, "Did you guys never experiment with your abilities when you were in my realm and age?"

"Cuth Diya, this is not the time or place to conduct experiments," Handsome Fox's impatience was turning into annoyance, as per his plan they should be back in the already but the demon was taking damn too long to conduct the human sacrifice.

"What are you worried about? Who will come to this forsaken place? Besides don't keep disturbing me you're only prolonging our stay here," having said that, Cuth Diya continued to pretend while the aura of 'Hell of Contamination' covering him kept fluctuating at different frequencies.

"Handsome Fox, let my boy do his thing. I will increase the promise by another five percent," ignoring the call, Muth Diya offered while appreciating the intense aura of 'Hell of Contamination' covering his son. The faster his son grew the closer he was to achieving his dream of advancing to ruler-class in a single leap.

"Fine," Handsome Fox agreed to Muth Diya's offer as Cuth Diya was right this town was akin to a forsaken place in the Northern Region.

Though Muth Diya hated Handsome Fox's overcautious side and overpriced service fee, he liked his meticulous and perfectionist side. Especially when he could control him by throwing his wealth around.

"Did that fucker just ignore my call?" Wyatt was perplexed, he never once thought that Muth Diya would have the guts to ignore Chaos Dwarf Ezra's call.

"Does he think I am bluffing or Did he forget that I know his dirty secret? Fuck! I don't have time for this," Wyatt yelled in frustration, he promised Cuth Diya that he would distract Muth Diya for him but now with Muth Diya ignoring his call, in annoyance, he decided to send a text to Muth Diya to jolt his memory. Just then he received a text from Cuth Diya,

[Master Ezra,

I have the situation under control. Send reinforcements as soon as possible.

Regards,

Demon Merchant

Cuth Diya]

Going through Cuth Diya's message, Wyatt for the first time felt that the calamity daughter gems were not that dumb. Then he began to reword his text to Muth Diya contemplating what gave Muth Diya the guts to ignore his call. Even if Cuth Diya did not want him to distract Muth Diya anymore, he had to get his pawn under control. But had to pause as the Hive AI informed him that Asong was trying to contact him through VR Universe.

Understanding that his text to Muth Diya cannot be sloppy, especially considering Muth Diya's rebellion out of nowhere, Wyatt decided to take his time with the text, it had to be intimidating and persuading. As such he answered Asong's call first, "You do know that you can use the VR Saferoom to directly contact my grimoire right?"

"Yes, but answered my VR Call anyway right," Asong replied smugly.

"You're lucky that I am constantly monitoring all the means of communication because of the situation that suddenly arose. Otherwise, I would have missed your call," Wyatt responded knowing Asong might have called to inform him about the progress from her side.

"Speaking of the situation, I have contacted a few friends of family, they are gathering the numbers and head to coordinates soon. Hopefully, they make it in time," Asong reported that she had sent help from her side to the coordinates he sent.

"Friends from the central government?" Wyatt asked curiously, wondering if Asong and her family had enough pull in the Central Government to mobilize demigod teams to allied regions.

"Something like that," Asong replied, and then wondering why Wyatt would ask her this, she explained, "All I did was vouch and forward the information you gave me to my family friends in the allied forces. They are taking my word for it and mobilizing only because Anna's mother had made Gideon Grim the world's most wanted and speculated that he might be orchestrating a second demon invasion. Otherwise considering that these coordinates are in the Northern Region, they could not do anything even if they wanted to."

"That's good to hear. Field Marshal Heatsend has shared the information with her counterpart in the Northern region, they should be acting on it too," Wyatt shared the information he knew with Asong while wondering that the allied forces though similar to the United Nations back on the earth, they operated on different sets of regulations.

"Um, we have done everything we can. All we can do is hope for the best," Asong said worrying that if the worst were to happen Wyatt would blame himself for the death of the townspeople. This was one of the main reasons why she called him. Another reason was obvious, to find out how Wyatt got the information.
