Wyatt had managed to convince Muth Diya that revealing that Chaos Dwarf Ezra had created a method to forge a forbidden title demon core would only benefit the Chaos Dwarf. Doubling on that narrative, he hinted at Muth Diya to give Chaos Dwarf Ezra a reason why he should not reveal his secret instead of asking Chaos Dwarf Ezra a guarantee that he would not reveal his secret if he did his bidding. After all, willingly harboring a heretic was a serious offense.

This way instead of Chaos Dward Ezra trying to leverage Muth Diya's secret to recruit Muth Diya, Muth Diya would have to convince Chaos Dwarf Ezra that he stood to gain more by not revealing his secret than he stood to gain by revealing it. The only thing Muth Diya, a chief in a mid-level dark faction, could offer anything of interest to Chaos Dwarf Ezra, heir of a pseudo-ruler class force, that could rival the fame of reacting a forgotten and forbidden title demon core forging method was himself.

Wyatt as Chaos Drawf Ezra had already made clear that he had little interest in Muth Diya and more interest in his status as a chief in the Seven Princes of Hell faction. Wyatt had already shown him the way now it was up to Muth Diya to travel it, after all, Wyatt had convinced him that had no other choice left to consider.

Thanks to Wyatt's critical thinking and clever maneuvers, the question was no longer if Muth Diya was willing to become Chaos Dwarf Ezra's pawn but if Chaos Dwarf Ezra was willing to use Muth Diya as his pawn. Now Wyatt did not have to threaten Muth Diya to become Chaos Dwarf Ezra's pawn but Muth Diya had to beg the dwarf he hated to accept him as his pawn.

"Master Wyatt, even if I am a chief under Belphegor I do not have access to the information you seek. If you want, I will give you the list of territories under me along with the number of personnel stationed in each territory," Muth Diya conceded, he offered the information he had to Chaos Dwarf Ezra to show his worth with his actions.

Listening to Muth Diya, Wyatt frowned seeing through Muth Diya's intentions, and sternly warned, "Don't act smart with me. Was I not clear before that I have no interest in you but your status as a chief in the Seven Princes of Hell faction? What use do I have for you if lose your standing in the Seven Princes of Hell faction? Or did you think I would not be able to see through your small tricks? I do not need a pawn who thinks he is smarter than his master. Do you understand what I mean?"

The reason Wyatt asked Muth Diya to get him the list of all the 'Seven Princes of Hell' territories across the Dark realm along with the number of personnel stationed in each territory was because he knew with the faction focusing on invading the card world there would be less personnel stationed at each territories to guard them.

Wyatt could sell this information to the Seven Princes of Hell faction's enemies or if Corey Park's army in the dark realm has been reestablished by then he could have her target those territories. With the faction focused on invading the Card world and fewer people staffed to guard these territories, they would be easy targets.

Muth Diya had understood what Chaos Dwarf Ezra was planning to do with the information he asked him to provide, which is why he believed that the dwarf needed him and wanted to use it to get him to sign a contract drawn with devil merchant code as a witness. But to his dismay, Chaos Dwarf Ezra was ambitious. Muth Diya discerned that this was not a one-time thing and the dwarf wanted him to be more than a pawn, he wanted him to be a spy. Muth Diya had a foreshadowing about this when the dwarf reached out to him but now it had turned into a reality.

If Muth Diya were to become a spy he would be neither here nor there but stuck in between until the rope around his neck suffocated him to death. Therefore, Muth Diya lied and proposed to give the dwarf information about the territories he managed on behalf of the faction. This way when Chaos Dwarf Ezra targets only the territories he managed the faction will find out that he has betrayed them as such Chaos Dwarf Ezra would no longer use him as a spy and only use him as his pawn. This was a risky bet but not more than being used and thrown as a spy. Muth Diya understood struggling will not help but he had to give it a try.

"Please forgive my insolence, Master Ezra. I will get you the information you need soon," Muth Diya hurriedly apologized and assured the Chaos Dwarf Ezra that he would complete his orders.

It might seem as if Muth Diya had quickly adjusted to his new status as Chaos Dwarf Ezra's pawn but only he knew the self-control it took him to apologize to the dwarf. Previously, he apologized to the dwarf easily because he was trying to trick him but now it was different, his pride won't allow it but to achieve his dream he could only bend his knees.

"Soon is not good enough, you have 48 hours. I will not tolerate any delays or excuses," Saying that without waiting for the response from Muth Diya, Chaos Dwarf Ezra hung up the call.

If Muth Diya were to come through this time, Wyatt planned to entice him by showing him that he would benefit more from siding with Chaos Dwarf Ezra than Belphegor. So Muth Diya had more reasons than fear to switch his loyalty to Chaos Dwarf Ezra. However, if Muth Diya were to disappoint him, then Wyatt get the best he can from Muth Diya and throw him aside. After all, Wyatt had a lot on his plate he did not want to manage another variable.

"Mother Fucker!" Muth Diya screamed at the top of his lungs with rage-filled eyes as the dwarf hung up on him.

The day Muth Diya became a Devil he vowed to never bend his knees in front of others until he met Belphegor giving birth to his ambition of becoming a ruler class even if costs him a son. Now bending his knees to a mere demon master of all the powerful beings in the dark realm, his thirst to become a ruler class became even stronger. To achieve this ambition he was willing to sacrifice his son let alone withstand a little shame.

...

Having dealt with Muth Diya, Wyatt looked at the basement ceiling to hear the Field Marshal's voice in his head, "You looking for me?"

"Any news about the townspeople?"Wyatt knew the Field Marshal would be monitoring him so he looked up to gain her attention as it was easier than calling or texting her.

"Nope, I guess the operation was not a success," the Field Marshal replied, it had been a while since she gave the information to her counterpart in the northern region so she guessed that they had already acted on it and concluded the operation. She believed it to be a bust because if it operation had gone as her counterpart in the northern region had wished then they would have called her to brag about the successful operation. Seeing how the call did not come it was clear that they did not get the result they were expecting from the emergency operation.

"I do not care about their emergency operation. I only wanted to know if the townspeople were okay," Wyatt stressed and continued adding, "My informant has said Gideon, the devil, and their goons have managed to escape but he cannot get me any update on the townspeople."

"I see, let me give them a call," if it was someone else the Field Marshal would have yelled, 'It does not concern you' or 'Get over it.' But since Wyatt was special she decided to give her counterpart a call and get an update on the status of the townspeople.

"Thank you," thanking the Field Marshal for entertaining his whim, Wyatt began to update everyone he reached out to about the situation and asked if they had or could find information about the well-being of the townspeople.

Of all the people Wyatt had contacted Freedom Fighters and Demigod Norley were the two who did not respond. Considering that Freedom Fighters had yet to see his text in VR Universe Wyatt gave them a pass but Demigod Norley had no excuse. Wyatt could not think of a reason why Demigod Norley did not respond to his text requesting help.

"Wyatt, though the demigod teams of Northern Region failed to capture the culprits they managed to rescue the town. However, since the entire town was frozen and the people in it were forced into a cryosleep for a long period, it is too early to tell anything certainly about their individual well-being. The authorities have mobilized medical card apprentices, though the situation is delicate there is still hope," The Field Marshal informed Wyatt after enquiring about her counterpart in the northern region.

"I see," Wyatt nodded in understanding, "If it is not a bother please keep me updated about their situation."

The card apprentice would survive the cryosleep with the help of the medical card apprentices, it would be like awakening from a deep sleep for them. However, the mortals especially kids and the elderly would have to suffer a little and need time to recover. Since Gideon wanted their souls he would have made sure that the mortals would not die in cryosleep.Regardless, Wyatt could only hope for the best and move on.

"There is bad news," seeing Wyatt prepare to head inside the dungeon seal, Field Marshal Heatsend hurriedly revealed.

"What is it?" Wyatt asked the Field Marshal stopping in his tracks.

"The Northern Region is asking us for the source of our information trying to target our spies in the Northern Region. Our involvement in this incident has opened up a whole new can of worms. Anna's mother will do her best to handle it, but just in case, I am telling you this so that you can prepare yourself ahead," The Field Marshal responds with a heavy heart. After all, it was their duty to Wyatt away from politics as much as possible.

"I understand," Wyatt nodded, understanding what the Field Marshal was warning him about.

To make the people he was asking to help take this incident seriously, Wyatt had said in the text that Gideon was sacrificing an entire town of more than a hundred thousand people in preparation for the second demon invasion. Successfully raising the importance of this incident in the eyes of everyone who knew of it. So it was not a surprise if they would try to know the source of information.

There was only so much Anna's mother could do to stall the central government and other royal families using the name of the Southern Royal family. At some point, she would have to give up her source. For such a day Field Marshal wanted Wyatt to get his story straight and not give the world leaders a reason to target him. As most of them wanted to get their hands on him but none had a justification to do so. It would be foolish of Wyatt if he were to give it to them because of his unpreparedness.
