As Devil, Belphegor knew better than anybody that the laws against using pseudonyms to sign contracts were non-existent in devil merchant code still it did not mean that the devil/demon merchant could be blatant about it. As long as he got the Chaos Dwarf to agree his name was not Ezra Foolhar, this case like in all courts would be thrown out as the victim doesn't exist.

Belphegor also knew that it was a long shot for him to use this since if the chaos dwarf was cunning enough to use a pseudonym in the first place he should know not to agree to having used a pseudonym. However, at the risk of embarra.s.sing himself, he had to try since you never know for sure until you try.

"Tsk," Devil Gol Kin clicked his tongue in annoyance. He did not know why he was here. When he asked his boss Belhegor, he was ordered to be himself. If he were to truly be himself he would like to reach across the table grab the dwarf by his hair slap him around until he was satisfied and then kill him. However, this was Infinite Library, such actions would not work out well for him, his tribe, or his faction. So he had to curb his rage and try to behave.

Ezra eyed both the devil before beginning to enjoy his spirit beer knowing that negotiations cannot be done hastily or straightforward way, especially with a devil for an opponent. It was going to be a long day, he might as well relax and enjoy himself as he had been swapped with this or that since the southern capital incident.

Seeing that the chaos dwarf was in no hurry to commence the negotiation, Belphegor frowned as he had no idea why the dwarf was doing this and what he wanted to gain by doing this. Without knowing this if Belphegor were to begin the negotiation then it would be like shooting arrows at the enemy in the dark. He will not be the enemy but only reveal his position to the enemy. So he turned to his designated pixie and ordered, "Get me to large jugs of your finest spirit beer."

The Belphegor's pixie panicked, as in the Exec. VVIP lounge the guest could only access the lounge's amenities and facilities with permission of the Exec. VVIP member that invited them. Knowing Belphegor's pride and his relations.h.i.+p with Ezra, she did not know how to inform Belphegor about this without being scolded by him.

Though Infinity Library protected their pixies from harm inside the Infinity Library an individual pixie were stronger than their demon/devil merchant clients so they were not worried about being harmed but being verbally and emotionally abused. They took their jobs seriously, and being scolded for every little thing made them depressed so much so that might commit suicide if not for them living with their tribe. The Infinity Library was helpless against this. It could ask the customers to be have but could not micromanage them. This was why both Dredre and JiJi were surprised to meet someone like Wyatt.

"Get them what they want but they will be paying for it their orders," Ezra came to Belhegor's designated Pixies rescue, not wanting her to become a casualty in his war. He did not dare to show too much emotion while doing this worrying that Belphegor would find a way to exploit it.

Belphegor's Pixie nodded at Wyatt gratefully and with a snap of her finger she conjured two large jugs of spirit beers identical to the one in Ezra's hands before Devil Belphegor and Gol Kin on the table.

The tense atmosphere in the box eased as the three began to chug their beers in an awkward silence. JiJi who looked a stratified look on the three of them as they chugged the spirit beers was confused and asked Wyatt breaking the awkward silence, "Isn't the beer bitter in taste? How are you able to drink so much of it?"

"It's for grown-ups, you will not understand. Why don't you order a Spirit Dew on me and join us?" Ezra did not bother to explain to JiJi why he liked the Spirit Beer and instead asked her to join them, grabbing a Spirit Dew.

"Everything in the Infinity Library is free for us Pixies, but I appreciate your offer," Saying that JiJi conjured a spirit dew, found a comfortable spot on Ezra's broad shoulders, and began to enjoy herself.

The other two pixies began to glance at JiJi with mixed feelings they were both happy for her and envied her. Ezra did not dare to involve himself with them because as the Gol Kin and Belphegor's designated pixies, they were stuck with them. Showing any form of kindness now to them would come back to haunt them for the rest of their time as Gol Kin and Belphegor's designated pixies. These two devils in particular were not above taking out their anger on these pixies.

"For someone who has not lived a century to call himself a grown-up what a joke," Gol Kin commented as he continued to sip his beer with his humanoid mouth. It appears his beak was mostly for decoration.

"Refill," Ezra continued to ignore Devil Gol Kin and focused on his beer. He did not have time for a clown who did not know that the negotiation had already begun. Ezra wondered if Belphegor bought this clueless clown for entertainment.

"Refill" Gol Kin yelled louder than Ezra startling his pixie who immediately refilled his jug with spirit beer.

Belphegor unlike his compet.i.tive subordinate continued to drink spirit beer at his pace monitoring every little detail about Ezra. The longer he watched the dwarf, the more he believed the dwarf's attention was on them and their actions then the beer in his hand.
