If listening to the Chaos Dwarf Ezra ordering him to get the list of all the 'Seven Princes of Hell' branches across the Dark realm along with the number of personnel stationed in each branch was not enough to remove the blindfold of certainty blinding him, then these condescending words of the dwarf did the job.

Muth Diya finally asked the question he failed to ask himself a few minutes earlier, 'Why would the dwarf call him to warn him that the native leaders were after him?'

Earlier, Muth Diya did not consider this because he believed the dwarf wanted to use him as his pawn, so the dwarf called him to warn him as he was no good to the dwarf if he were to die at the hands of the native leaders. Now that he knew the real reason why the dwarf had called him and thought with a clear mind, he felt the Chaos Dwarf Ezra was correct, 'How am the dwarf supposed to know what he was doing in the Card World, let alone what the Card World's native leaders were up to?'

With this, the blindness of certainty covering Muth Diya was removed. However, though Chaos Dwarf Ezra's words were condescending they awakened him to the reality. Realizing that the dwarf was correct, Muth Diya began to understand that his initiative talent was flawed as he would only consider the outcomes that would favor him and not explore further. Had he explored further and not gotten wrapped up in his assumptions and speculation, he might have seen the flaws in his assumptions.

Muth Diya began to sweat with his sudden realization as he almost ticked off the dwarf who knew his deepest secret because of his half-assed assumptions. Having grown up in the dark realm he knew that laws and regulations were different for the strong and the weak. If a weak person were to explore forbidden knowledge he would be held guilty and burned for his crimes however if a strong person were to do the same he would be celebrated as a genius and sought after.

The fact that Chaos Dwarf Ezra was able to create a method from scratch to help Cuth Diya forge a forbidden title demon core would only make him a capable Chaos Dwarf in the eyes of those ruler class factions and families. They could always use a talent like Chaos Dwarf Ezra who could recreate the lost method of forging a forbidden title demon as mere demon master. Considering his infinite potential at worst, they will punish the dwarf with a small fine for his crime whereas the Diya tribe father and son would not be able to escape the death penalty in all scenarios. After all, they had to serve as an example to others.

Muth Diya had long forgotten about trying to prove that Chaos Dwarf Ezra was the mastermind behind their recent string of tragedies once his assumptions fell apart realizing the dwarf was not calling him to warn him but to get him to betray his faction. Muth Diya did not bother to go over all his assumptions again as now all he cared about was how to get out of the clutches of the dwarf. Had Muth Diya gone over his assumptions with the new information he would have realized that Chaos Dwarf Ezra was still the most likely to be the mastermind. However, he could do that later once he was out of his current predicament.

Muth Diya's brain thought of every possible scenario where the truth about his son being the successor of the hell of contamination would be revealed and in every one of them he could only see the dwarf gaining fame for achieving the impossible while he and his son being killed practicing heresy.

Finding that he was cornered Muth Diya realized that he had only two options either become the dwarf's pawn or be on the run for the reminder of his life. Considering that the Ruler Class forces of the Dark realm could find him anywhere in the Myraid realms, he knew he would have no luck on the run and be caught instantly so he only had one choice to obey the dwarf, as for suicide that never crossed Muth Diya's mind.

"Hey, how long are you going to take to get your head straight? I need an answer, should I be expecting you to share the list of all the 'Seven Princes of Hell' branches across the Dark realm along with the number of personnel stationed in each branch to my demon codex soon or not?" Since Muth Diya was taking too long to reply to Chaos Dwarf Ezra repeated himself.

"Master Ezra, I realize the flaw of my ways but what is the guarantee that you will leave me and my son if I do as you say," Muth Diya did not immediately agree to betray his faction by spying on them for the Chaos Dwarf Ezra rather asked the dwarf to guarantee that he would not throw Muth Diya under the bus once he got what he wanted. For now, Muth Diya was focused on doing damage control and buying time. Once he got a breather he would be able to think of something.

"Guarantee, what kind of guarantee will assure you to work for me? Will a contract drawn with devil merchant code as a witness be enough?" Chaos Dwarf Ezra asked Muth Diya with a sneer.

"Yes, Master Ezra," Muth Diya ignored the dwarf's tone and hurriedly agreed as he thought he would have to fiercely negotiate with the dwarf to get him to sign a contract drawn with devil merchant code as a witness.

"Muth Diya, don't overestimate yourself. You have yet to prove yourself and your value in my eyes for me to go through the trouble of sheltering you. First, prove your loyalty and worth then I will give you a guarantee."
