Corey's eyes were glued to the C-rank storage card Wyatt handed Susan. Swallowing her saliva, she asked, "Big sis, how many devil-grade ingredients are in there?"

Susan frowned displeased by Corey's reaction. She still equipped the C-rank storage card in her silver-grade grimoire to check the total funds she had at her disposal for the purchase. Going through the contents of the storage card Susan blurted in shock, "50 devil-grade ingredients."

With the experience of a sales staff in a mall, Susan to know what devil-grade ingredients were, and what they signified, showed the hard work she had put in trying to be the best manager for Wyatt. She had yet to prove herself in the world market but Wyatt had introduced her to a new platform. She did not hesitate to accept it and prove herself worthy of Wyatt's generosity. Susan was not afraid of challenges but of being left behind.

"Fifty!" Corey exclaimed in disbelief, "Hehe, big sis you are pulling my leg right?"

Listening to Corey not believe her Susan rolled her eyes and passed her grimoire to Corey to let her check the contents of the C-rank storage card.

"How can this be possible? my eyes are playing tricks on me," Corey muttered, still finding it hard to believe that Wyatt had 50 devil-grade ingredients to spare.

"I don't understand, why can't you believe it? Wyatt has traded thousands of the devil-grade ingredients with the devil merchant code. He mostly trades with the devil merchant code using devil-grade ingredients. So as a show of appreciation, he was awarded an exclusive privilege by the devil merchant code," Dredre chimed in, unable to understand why Corey found it hard to believe Wyatt had 50 devil-grade ingredients to spare to buy a few ingredients.

As someone who grew up in a huge tribe, Dredre knew that they had to take extra care of the dumb ones in the group. In this instance, Corey was the dumb one in Wyatt's group. Dredre felt she needed to take extra care of this friend of hers. Though Dredre did not have a good first impression of Corey, the more time she spent with Corey she realized that Corey's action held no malintent she was just dumb and ignorant but she was a genuine groupmate. Which was she she tolerated Corey.

"What is an exclusive privilege?" Susan asked in awe. If someone were to sing praises of Wyatt and his achievements, Susan would be the first one in the crowd to take a seat.

"Exclusive privilege is like a unique function of devil merchant code that only Wyatt can use for a reasonable offering," Dredre explained

"You said it was a show of appreciation but isn't this just another way for the devil merchant code to get Wyatt to spend extra devil-grade ingredients," Corey complained, she seemed to not like the offering culture of the devil merchant code where every little thing of the devil merchant code requires an offering.

*Sigh* Listening to Corey, both Susan and Dredre sighed in unison.

Ignoring their sigh, Corey looked at Wyatt with twinkling eyes and asked, "Wyatt, since I am your employee shouldn't you be the one paying for all my work-related expenses? Which includes all the offering I offer to the devil merchant code to use it?"

"..." Susan wanted to scold Corey but then she was without words understanding that what Corey was asking for was not wrong. After all, all work-related expenses should be covered by the employer.

Wyatt recalled the time when Corey was willing to gift Susan all the soul jades she had on her without any hesitation. The Corey he once knew seemed to have given up on worldly desires and was trying to be a better person. Then he looked at the Corey in front of him, though she was not greedy she seemed to have become a penny pincher, Wyatt wondered, 'Is short on funds or something?'

"Yes, as long as you can prove that your expenses were work-

related the company will reimburse you. But if do that then you can no longer use your demon merchant codex to do private trades. After all, until your 100-year employment is complete your demon merchant status will be considered as company property," Wyatt explained one of the clauses in the terms and conditions Dredre had added to Corey's contract.

This dilemma was not new, many devil merchants use their devil merchant recommendation quota to employ others as demon/devil merchants on a contractual basis. Over thousands of years, the devils have perfected the demon/devil merchant employment contract. Fortunately for Corey Wyatt was generous and did not use harsher contracts to employ her.

"What?" Corey blurted in suspicion and then looking at Dredre, she asked, "Dredre, tell me what he said is not true."

"Nope, Wyatt is correct. It is mentioned in the contract I gave you. Did you not read it?" Dredre asked.

"I did not, Park did," Dredre answered, she was at a loss of words. Without the full knowledge of the contract she signed, she was unable to think of a valid argument.

"..." Susan felt sympathetic with Corey because she did not read her employment contract either. But her case was different, as she had long decided that, 'This life of hers was just for Wyatt.' When she had entirely devoted herself to Wyatt in her heart and mind why would she be worried about a little contract?

"Where is Park?" Wyatt asked, not wanting to have to explain every little detail to Corey.

"She went to the inter-realm city to meet an old acquaintance," Corey replied.

Wyatt was not surprised that Park as a mutated ego flame could enter the inter-realm city, as his mutated consciousnesses could too. Then looking at Corey who had gone quiet, Wyatt asked, "Corey, you have inherited the wealth of Park and Baem. For someone who has so much wealth, why are you sweating over such small expenditures?"
