"No, I don't want to enter the bet," Belphegor rejected without a second of consideration after hearing the stakes of the bet. He was greedy, but not a fool. Just the thought of losing everything and not gaining anything scared Belphegor. Then shaking his jet-black monster worm head he said, "I made a promise to exchange for my recomndation quota if you offered a fair price so I will ask you once again, do you want to trade my devil rchant code recomndation quota for your demigod's soul that has been to the river of souls?"
"Wow, just like that, uh, you are not even going to consider that if you win the bet you will get everything you want without paying for it," I was surprised to see Belphegor not be swayed by the juicy winning stakes I offered to him and reject the bet. It seems I misread him, Belphegor was not just greedy but a hoarder. Soone like that would not take a risk of losing everything. It seems losing his wealth was what limited his greed. I seem to have not provoked him enough, now if only I could do sothing about that.
"Yes, no doubt. So are we doing this trade or should I just leave?" Belphegor asked the monster worm knowing if he stayed here any longer he may not be able to suppress his greed for the demigod's soul that has been to the river of souls and the two special mortal souls.
"Fine, let's trade, your devil rchant code recomndation quota for my demigod's soul that has been to the river of souls," I agreed to the trade with Belphegor having figured out just the thing that would provoke Belphegor enough to agree to my bet despite his better judgnt.
"Good, I guess you do not have the demigod's soul on your person," Belphegor said knowing sobody of the monster worm's realm would prefer to stash sothing as valuable as the demigod's soul soplace than carry on person.
"Yes, I can get you the demigod's soul within a week until then let's sign a devil's pact with my special mortal soul as collateral. That should do right?" I did not have ti to find Cortney and get the bonded storage card I stashed in Bloodette's dungeon seal therefore I planned to enter a devil's pact with Belphegor stating that I will pay him due demigod's soul that has been to the river souls within a week and if I fail to do so he can co to collect my soul. Only this way would I be able to get my hands on Belphegor's recomndation quota right away.
"Good, will you draft the contract or shall I?" Belphegor would usually draft a crafty contract for his custors but today it was different, his custor was not only smart but also knew his true na. With devil rchant code watching there wasn't much room for Belphegor's tricks, not to forget even if he were to make the contract, the custor could always ask him to make so changes according to their concerns, making drafting a contact a troubleso chore so Belphegor decided to throw the paperwork to his custor.
"I have already drafted a contract using your true na, sign it and give the recomndation quota," I said summoning my golden grimoire which had the contract drawn under both our true nas. As for the witness, both the card world's will and devil rchant code were ntioned. And it had many other terms and agreents in line with the interest of both parties signing the trade contract. Such as no-return policies, custor and rchant safety policies, and other standard stuff. I really couldn't appreciate the Hive AI enough if not for it I could not read the original custor copy of the devil rchant codes or draft his solid contract within seconds.
"Everything seems fine," After going through the contract and finding no loopholes and flaws Belphegor was impressed by the monster worm's thoroughness as he signed it and then summoning a card he handed it to the monster worm saying "Here's your devil rchant code recomndation quota, Dalton Wyatt."
Taking the card from Belphegor, I went through its card info only to find that it was bonded to the na I used in the contract. It was a good thing that I did not use a false na otherwise, it would be a real embarrassnt to be caught red-handed.
"See you in a week," Belphegor said preparing to leave but I interrupted him saying, "Belphegor, before you leave do you want to know how I got the demigod's soul that has been to the river of souls?"
Without waiting for Belphegor's answer, I began to narrate how I got my hands on demigod Redfall's soul omitting the obvious details but as soon as I said Bloodline aning of the Blood Rule, Belphegor imdiately yelled interrupting , "Bloodline aning, is that how this demigod soul was able to escape the river of souls and descend to this world?"
"Yes, is there a problem," I asked Belphegor with mockery apparent in my voice. I need to be as much as jerk I could be about this so that I can provoke Belphegor enough to go against his better judgnt.
"You left this information on purpose, didn't you?" Belphegor was enraged, he was tricked by a mortal no less, he want to rip the damned monster worm apart even if he risked being penalized by the devil rchant code but the contract he signed had a very strict custor safety policy that stopped him from doing so. As, if he were to breach it, what would await him was not a penalty from the devil rchant code but a death sentence.
"Belphegor, congrats on becoming the first devil rchant to be tricked by a mortal custor," I said looking at the jet-black monster worm whose black beady eyes had turned red out of rage and embarrassnt it felt for being tricked.
