Chapter 1716 Well Prepared
Date- 15 April 2321
Time- 20:19
Location- Card World, Way Beyond, ????, Secret Hideout
Demigod Handsome Fox Ignored Devil Muth Diya and focused on the Chaos Dwarf Ezra. His Undead Incarnation was special, it was refined in combo with his origin card's effect. Hence, even a Devil of Muth Diya's caliber was not able to tell that he was not the original but a mere incarnation. Even though Devil Muth Diya was a supremacist he was strong, very strong.

It seems the reputation about the capabilities of the Chaos Dwarf was not entirely false and they were indeed arrogant, this one in particular. He dared to call him out, a demigod. He could kill a demon master with his pinky half-asleep yet this dwarf not only dared to call him out but scold him.
If not for the faction's mission and the large amount of contribution that he would gain from completing it, Handsome Fox would have put this dwarf in his place. Instead, he shamelessly smiled and answered the dwarf, "Master Ezra, has a good eye. I am sorry my original body cannot be present here since it was injured in a fight but once it makes a full recovery. I promise to apologize to you in person."
"Whatever, besides what kind of a name is Handsome Fox? It sounds made up," Wyatt understood he could not get the original soul records of Handsome Fox so he decided to settle for his true name and soul energy signature.
Handsome Fox's smile froze listening to the dwarf's words, but it quickly regained its vividness as he replied, "Master Ezra, I practice a special rule meaning, which requires me to hide my true name, I hope you do not take offense."
"Motherfucker, even your name is false? Your body is false, your name is false what exactly about is it true?" Before Ezra could respond Devil Muth Diya exclaimed in anger. Not only did this native demon merchant dare to hide his name and form but also dared to ignore him in front of a special guest. How could Muth Diya be not enraged by Handsome Fox? As much as he wanted to destroy Handsome Fox's undead incarnation to send him a message, he could not lose his calm and show in fighting in front of an esteemed guest he was trying to recruit in his faction.
"Devil Muth Diya, I am sorry. The fault is mine I forgot to inform you about my condition. Please do not take it to heart," Handsome Fox apologized to Muth Diya knowing that if he were to continue to ignore him then things would escalate into something ugly. Not to mention taking a step back was the best way to deal with a colleague like Muth Diya. When the time was right he could own Muth Diya's supremacist ass. One thing at a time.
"You natives don't know how to be honest. I overlooked it this one time in light of the matter at hand," Muth Diya was without words hearing Handsome Fox apologize. He had never seen a devil merchant concede so fast, this was new. His disdain for Handsome Fox further increased.
"Master Ezra, I once again apologize for using a pseudonym, I hope you will understand my trouble," Handsome Fox ignored Muth Diya's remark and apologized to Ezra for using a pseudonym.
Wyatt glanced at Handsome Fox, this guy was well prepared and had a good reason for everything. He was enraged at Handsome Fox but he could not show it. Not only did this guy attack his friends and loved ones but this guy was proving to be a step ahead of him every time. This guy was too cautious, he used an incarnation and a pseudonym to meet his colleagues from the same faction in his native realm which was supposed to be his home field.
"Fine. do what works for you. Now, let us get this done as the longer I keep my warehouse closed the more money I lose," Wyatt just gave up trying to get Handsome Fox's true identity because he knew his preying on Handsome Fox's identity too much may garner suspicion, which would be an unwanted risk on his persona's part so he decided to back off for now and be happy with just getting Handsome Fox's complete and accurate soul energy signature.

From the looks of it appears his original body was not on the compound of this hideout to begin with. It was only logical for someone with such a cautious nature to have many hideouts across the world.
"Yes, Master Ezra. Please follow me I will guide you to the forging area," Devil Muth Diya said and acted as if this entire hideout was his instead of letting their host Handsome Fox do his thing.
Soon the Devil Muth Diya with the assistance of Demigod Handsome Fox lead Chaos Dwarf Ezra to the forging area. It was a plain stone platform in a vast open field. It felt very serene and tranquil. Especially, the scene of the wind playfully caressing the grasses in the field. Arriving at the area, Muth Diya asked, "Master Ezra will this do?"
"The location is good enough but I have my own array formations that help the user with their concentration and also with soul energy gathering. I would be setting them up to increase the success rate of the forging. I have shared the list of ingredients I require with Cuth Diya, please help me procure them," Wyatt lied, the array formations were not for helping Cuth Diya concentrate but to stop the devil and demigod from spying on them during the forging process.
"Yes, Master Ezra. I will procure them right away."
