"Good then state your price," Wyatt spoke seeing that Mak Tul was too excited to speak. Though he had chosen the Chaos Dwarfs for their good reputation among the dark races, he did not expect Mak Tul to react so highly just to gain the services of the Demon Master realm Chaos Dwarf. Though he knew that with the help of the Devil Merchant Code the restriction of the realm was not a problem still he could not help but feel Mak Tul was overreacting to the situation.
What Wyatt did not know was that Mak Tul was planning to use him as the poster boy to increase the reputation of the 'Seven Princes of Hell' faction among the Chaos Dwarf community. In hopes of collaborating with the Chaos Dwarfs on different projects until they manage to gather enough trust among the Chaos Dwarfs such that they don't mind joining their faction.
Wyatt failed to consider this because in a way he had underestimated the popularity of the Chaos Dwarfs among the Dark Races, it was not his fault since the Myriad Realm Race Records his prime source of information had downplayed the reputation and ability of the Chaos Dwarfs.
According to the races listed in the Myriad Realm Race Records, there are many other races in myriad realms that were better than Chaos Dwarfs in creation and development but they were not native to the Dark Realm. So, by that standard Myriad Realm Race Records could only register Chaos Dwarf ability as good but not the best in Myriad Realms.
As for these races, their lives were tragic as their members were in hiding, killed, enslaved, or extinct. Since their race was mentioned in the Myraid Realm Race Records it meant that these races were discovered by the dark races, knowing that the attitude of the dark races towards the races not native to Dark Realms their fate was limited to being killed or enslaved.
"According to my rough estimate, 15 projects. You have to take on 15 projects on behave of our faction, one of each Demon Lord who will be assisting you. Of course, we will be providing you with the required ingredients, manpower, and equipment for the projects. But you prepare to use your manpower and equipment we will compensate you accordingly," Mak Tul put forward what he felt would be the appropriate compensation for his faction lending the Chaos Dwarf 15 demon lords to sabotage an unknown faction in the lower realm.
"15 projects? Why don't you just have me sign a slave contract with your faction instead?" Wyatt said sarcastically and prepared to leave. Trying to convey that, the Chaos Dwarf was not feeling sincerity from the Blight Brood club so he might as well leave.
Seeing the Chaos Dwarf get down the couch, Mak Tul panicked as the Dwarf was not playing by rules. Mak Tul asked for such a huge compensation for their services because he was fully expecting the Chaos Dwarf to reject this first offer and then try to bargain with him but to his surprise instead of trying to bargain or making a counter the Chaos Dwarf just prepared to leave, this simple action of the Dwarf had Mak Tul see his entire life flash in front of his eyes.
Since the faction would reward Mak Tul highly if he managed to gain the favor of the young Chaos Dwarf, they would not hesitate to punish him accordingly for letting the fortune that had entered their den of bandits and thieves walk away. Knowing this Mak Tul put a stop to all his plans that involved getting the Chaos Dwarf to sign a one-sided deal that favored him and his faction.
"Esteemed guest, please be seated. If anything is not up to your requirements we can discuss it. I am sure we can reach common ground," Mak Tul hurriedly spoke getting up from his seat.
Wyatt paused and declared, "One project, I will do one project for your faction in exchange for helping me with a task. Of course, you will be providing the ingredients, manpower, and equipment. This is only fair."
"This..." Mak Tul was dumbfounded by the compensation suggested by the Chaos Dwarf for their assistance to him.
Muk Tul could not help but wonder, 'How was any of what he said fair?' Yes, they were only helping the Chaos Dwarf with one task but they were also taking the blame for the sabotage on his behalf in the eyes of his rival faction. They were shouldering the aftermath. Whereas, in return, he was doing a single project for them while they would be supplying the ingredients, manpower, and equipment. How was this fair compensation?
However, Mak Tul did not immediately dare to reject the Chaos Dwarf fearing that if he rejected the Dwarf, the Dwarf would leave without hesitation searching for another organization to cooperate with.
Right now Mak Tul was prepared to accept the Chaos Dwarf's joke of compensation for the Blight Brood's services as he planned to make up for the remainder compensation through his wallet. But he hoped that it would not come to that.
Instead of directly rejecting the Chaos Dwarf, Mak Tul changed the topic. Looking at the empty tea table, he said, "Why are the refreshments not served yet? Esteemed Guest, please be seated while I check on my slacking staff."
With that, Mak Tul hurried out of the office and closed the door behind him before the Chaos Dwarf could even reject the refreshments and continue with the negotiation. Coming out of the office Mak Tul let out a long sigh, he knew that the greedy Chaos Dwarf knew that he would take his task even if he did not pay appropriate compensation and was taking full advantage of it. Muk Tul never thought that as the manager of the Blight Brood, one day he would be bullied in his office.n--0velbIn
