It might seem as if Zaltan was looking at every action and word of Wyatt with rose-tinted glasses. However, he was actually viewing them under a microscope. Yet, he saw Wyatt in a positive light because he saw similarities in the personality traits of the Pixies and Wyatt.

If any other demon merchant were given the same contract with a conditioned free VVIP membership to Infinity Library they would sign it immediately forgetting everything else. This wasn't an assumption but Zaltan has seen it happening. After all, a VVIP membership to Infinity Library was a status symbol, it could get one to places and open doors that were previously closed for them.

Wyatt's reaction was different from the other demon merchants, his first thought was to seek Dredre's opinion if she was willing to accompany him to his world as his exclusive Pixie. This could only mean three things, Wyatt was considerate or Wyatt was devious or Wyatt was ignorant. Pixies too were very considerate of fellow beings and ignorant when it came to earthly possessions.

As for Wyatt being devious enough to resist the charm of the VVIP membership to Infinity Library and continue his act, well congrats he managed to fool Zaltan. However, he was going to trust the instincts of the pixies and bet on Wyatt being considerate of Dredre or ignorant of what he was gaining.

"You sure you won't miss your friends and family?" Wyatt reminded Dredre what accompanying him to his home world meant. She would have to relocate far from her tribe where all her friends and family members were.

"Don't worry silly, I can always use the devil merchant code to meet them," Dredre hovered next to Wyatt and stood on his shoulder breaking all the protocols of the professional training her tribe had given her turning her from a bubbly, free-spirited Forest Guide Pixie to a formal, polite Book Guide Pixie.

"Fine, if you say so," Wyatt muttered as he signed the one-time employment contract drawn up by Zaltan.

As soon as the contract was signed Zaltan said, "I have updated your membership status, your ban is lifted and now you can access the books from the Infinity Library wherever and whenever in the Myriad Realms. Anything else I can help you with?"

"Yes, it is about the Myriad Realm Race records of the Infinity Library. It says it's the recorded all of the Races across the Myriad Realms but is it though?" Wyatt asked Zaltan as he had doubts about someone being able to record all the races across the myriad realms.

"Why do you ask? Did you come across a race not recorded in the Myriad Realm Race Records?" Zaltan seemed well prepared for this question as if he had to answer the same question to many library members.

"Yes, I did. The white sinister snake that Belphegor's corpse puppet devil daughter Agony has is not recorded in the Myriad Realm Race Records," Wyatt refrained from bringing up Corey as apparently, it looks like Park has many enemies and friends from her time in Dark Realm, Wyatt did not know under which category the Infinity Library fell in.

"That snake's origin is a mystery, apparently its egg was discovered in the ruins of the primordial sector of the Myriad realms by Belhegor's daughter. It appears to be the last of its race. It isn't the only one there are many beings and monsters across the Myriad realms whose origins are shrouded in mystery, we had to make a separate book on them. Check it out when you are free," Zaltan explained briefly and added, "I will contact you through Dredre when I need your help. It will be soon so you better start getting your things in order back home right away. See you then."

With that, Zaltan teleported Wyatt and Dredre to the VVIP member's lounge using the library array. Arriving there, Dredre asked, "Wyatt, what books do you want?"

"It can wait. I will deal with other things first. You go get your things in order and let us meet on the physical plane," Now that he could access the books of the Infinity Library whenever and wherever Wyatt decided to first check on his native sector to see what Zaltan was talking about.

"Okay," With that Dredre teleported Wyatt to the threshold of the Infinity Library and she left to make arrangements to accompany Wyatt on the physical plane.

[Dear Demon Merchant,

Do you want to leave sector DS0909 and move to sector ES0012?

(Yes/No)

Note: You are entering your native sector so standard offering practice will be followed.]

"Yes"

[Dear Demon Merchant,

Using spirit transfer array to travel from sector DS0909 to sector ES0012…

Note: Spirit transfer array takes the demon merchant's spiritual body that has entered it and transfers them to the inter-realm city.]

[Dear Demon Merchant,

Welcome to sector ES0012…

Note: Behave.]

Being carried out of the white tunnel by an invisible force Wyatt appeared next to a fountain. He looked around sector ES0012 from where he stood and was dumbfounded seeing that it had undergone a huge transformation. Even after the transformation it had no development whatsoever, however, its barren land had expanded from 100 acres to 100,000 acres.

Soon Wyatt learned what had happened, It turns out that suddenly some demon merchant had rented the entire 99,999 acres of land surrounding the acre he had rented. As a result, the rent of the land had been jacked up to an insane price such that Wyatt could no longer afford to continue to rent the one acre he had previously rented. He could afford it with his VR-universe wealth but from a business point of view trying to harvest the liquid rule power in this sector was no longer as cost-effective as before.

Who would do this? Since the only other Demon merchant to use this sector other than him was the young red-foot dwarf, he was one of the suspects but considering that he slept next to the fountain to cultivate instead of renting a small piece of land it can be seen that it did not have the capital to pull off something like this.

If not him then who?
