"What is going to happen next? I am going to own both of your asses," Wyatt said with a devilish grin. 

The arrogant words of Ezra thundered in the ears of Handsome Fox and Muth Diya freezing the confident expression on their faces, and the dwarf's grin was like a flash of lightning that jolted them awake to the realization that they had to end it now and waste no time toying around. 

"Hahaha, you lost your mind to the despair, haven't you? I would not be surprised but tell me genius what makes you so confident," Handsome Fox regained his composure, he had full trust in his abilities and couldn't bring himself to take a mere demon master seriously. He was cautious but he was equally prideful too. Ezra had hurt his pride and he planned to make him pay. Off chance, if things went sideways, at most he would lose an undead incarnation at most. As for the faction, what about them?

"Handsome Fox quit playing around and do it," Muth Diya yelled, he did not mind Handsome Fox having a little fun with Dwarf but he was worried that the dwarf had something up his sleeve. He did not want to take any chances. 

Handsome Fox controlled himself from snapping back at Muth Diya by ignoring him. He waited for the dwarf to speak up, as he wanted to crush the clutch that allowed the dwarf to be confident even now and then savor the look of despair in his eyes. 

"You.." Muth Diya was enraged seeing Handsome Fox ignore him in front of his son. Only he knows how much control it took on his part to not rip the head off the demigod's incarnation for the humiliation he was currently feeling. He blamed his fate, for having him live such a day. 

As for Cuth Diya, he stood there with a confused expression, playing his part as an uninformed bystander. 

"You guys are dumb, aren't you? If you were smart you would not have tried something like this. I have a standard contract with the Blight Brood Club, according to it during my service if even a single hair on my body were to be harmed the club would be held responsible and have to compensate me appropriately. You too idiots just made me rich—-" Before Wyatt could finish, Handsome Fox burst out in a loud laughter interrupting him. 

"Hahaha, the reason you were so confident was because of a simple contract. That is it? Here, I was worried that you held an ace. Hahaha… ha—" Handsome Fox's laughter came to an abrupt halt as he saw that Ezra was looking at him as if he was looking at a clown. With a deadpan expression, he said, "The contract, holds no authority on me I am not a member of the club. Even if I were it would not matter because soon you will willingly cancel it." 

"And it will rain liquid rule power and liquid soul energy," Wyatt said mocking Handsome Fox for believing that he would withdraw the contact and they would not be liable for breaking it. 

Pissed by Ezra's mockery, Handsome Fox raised his free hand. Soon he gathered and concentrated soul energy at the tip of his index figure, solidifying it into the shape of a tiny seed. Dangling it in front of Ezra, he began to explain, "This right here is my unique ability. I will not go into details about it. All you need to know is once I sow this in you, not only will you willingly withdraw the contract but you will willingly serve me for the rest of your pathetic life." 

Muth Diya raised his eyebrow listening to Handsome Fox. The plan was Handsome Fox would use his ability to turn Chaos Dwarf Ezra into the servant of the faction not Handsome Fox's personal servant. Muth Diya's frown eased as he believed Handsome Fox might disobey him but he would not dare to disobey the faction's direct orders. Especially, when the faction was gathering all of its top players to invade Handsome Fox's native realm. 

The standard contract between Ezra and Blight Brood Club indeed served as an assurance that the club or its members would not harm Ezra in any way instead they would have to protect him during his service period but Handsome Fox who had just joined the faction still had not completed the formalities to become a member of the Blight Brood Club so the contract did not apply to him. 

As for Muth Diya not coming to Ezra's rescue following the terms and conditions of the standard contract, Ezra's life was not in any real danger and it did not matter as long as Handsome Fox used his ability and got Ezra to cancel the contract between him and the Blight Brood Club. Since Handsome Fox's role in this plan to control Erza was so important, Muth Diya had no choice but to keep swallowing his rage against Handsome Fox again and again.

"Haha, you are funny. I will give you that," Wyatt laughed while he had the Hive AI use Soul pupils to record the seed conjured from soul energy on the tip of Handsome Fox's index finger. After a few evaluations, as expected, Hive AI confirmed that it was the same as the seed that he had found in Susan's body. 

Ezra's casual and calm reaction continued to piss Handsome Fox, he could not understand how the dwarf was so collected even when it knew that the contract which it trusted to guard it had no authority on him since he was not part of the Blight Brood club. Not to mention his unique ability. 

"Handsome Fox, enough. Just get it over with," Muth Diya urged Handsome Fox, his voice did not have the commanding tone it held previously. Right now his ego did not matter, he just wanted Handsome Fox to gain control of Ezra in body, mind, and soul using his ability. He wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible as for some reason he did not have a good feeling about this. 

The more Ezra was calm and collected the more Muth Diya felt something was amiss. Ezra had an elder who was an executive VVIP member of the Infinity Library, they would have taken some precautions to ensure Ezra's safety. It was a no-brainer. They had rendered the devil merchant code's inter-realm travel function useless in their vicinity as such Ezra could not escape using it nor could someone come here to rescue Ezra. 

But against an executive VVIP member of the Infinity Library would that be enough? An elder chaos dwarf with such mighty status must have seen and been through many such situations and this too should be within their anticipation. Meaning, Ezra definitely had other tricks up their sleeves. Even if Handsome Fox had paralyzed the dwarf, there was no telling what trick he had up his sleeves. Therefore, Muth Diya believed Handsome Fox should put an end to this as soon as possible. Instead of letting his ego dictate his actions. 

Honestly, Muth Diya was puzzled by Handsome Fox's action. Seeing how he had used an incarnation and a false name for this mission, he thought Handsome Fox was an overly cautious guy who valued his life and personal gain over anything but now he wondered if he thought wrong. Maybe, Handsome Fox's original body was indeed injured in a fight and maybe there might be a valid reason why he has to use a false name. 

"Shut the fuck up, It's over when I say it is over," Handsome Fox snapped back at Muth Diya. He could no longer stay level-headed, trying to get the Dwarf to descend into despair he was losing his sanity. His sadistic side was taking over the more Ezra remained unaffected, it felt challenged. 

Muth Diya's jaws hung open, seeing the hideous expression on Handsome Fox's face as he snapped back at him. If he could he would force Handsome Fox to control Ezra the right way but he could not. Apart from using force to get his way, he could not think of anything else in this situation but he knew that using force here would only be counterproductive. So he could only watch as Handsome Fox descended into madness obsessing over the dwarf. 

Handsome Fox then looked at Ezra, locking their eyes, he once again showed him the conjured seed and said, "Let me see if you continue to stay this haughty once I plant this seed in your body." 

"Go ahead, do your worst," Wyatt said looking at Handsome Fox as if he was looking at a fool. He did not know what skill Handsome Fox had used to paralyze his body from the neck down but it did not matter he was not worried about Handsome Fox's unique ability. If he was not confident about saving himself he would have never come here in the first place.

"Hahaha, I see you are one of those. you will not repent until you see your coffin. Don't worry, I have something special planned for you. You are going to know what true despair is."
