Listening to Wyatt say that the devil merchant recommendation token was not a joining bonus but their salary for their century of employment in advance, Park and Corey were dumbfounded. Just as Park was about to argue, Wyatt beat her to the punch, and pointing at Corey he explained, "Park, I trust you and your abilities but do you see her? She is the most unstable and unreliable part of you. I am risking a lot just by giving you the entire pay in advance, I would not be surprised if she got you both killed before a century. Unless you find a way to separate from her, this is going to be my offer to you, not her. And also the demon merchant recommendation token you get every decade as a demon merchant you will have to give me first preference when selling them. What do you say?" "Hey, I am right here," Corey complained only to feel the complicated gaze from Park. Understanding how important the devil merchant recommendation token was for her she chose to shut up and let Park handle the negotiation. "Wyatt isn't the contract a bit harsh," Susan spoke up. Working a century without pay or benefits she could not imagine it. She knew that Wyatt was giving Corey the token but that will not feed or help her cultivate through out a century. Corey was young, so the Bright family did not mind spoiling her but that would not continue in her middle ages. Even if it did it would not look good. "No, the contract is not harsh. If they can use the devil merchant code properly to start a side hustle in their off-duty hours then it might be the most lucrative contract, but if they can't then they will have to sell their soul and body to survive," Dredre stepped in to explain but by the end of her explanation, she lost her point and concluded the explanation in agreement with Susan's point. "This…" Listening to Dredre's words Susan was without words, thinking Wyatt wouldn't be so cruel to Corey and Park that they would be forced to sell their soul and body. Susan knew that Wyatt treated his people well, the Fine Gold was a perfect example of this. "Park, if you agree with my terms sign the contract with Dredre and collect your devil merchant recommendation token from her. I have other urgent business to attend to," Wyatt informed Park as he prepared to leave the seed world. Apart from Corey's origin card, there was Park's mysterious sinister pet snake. If he gets Park to work for him, she would not mind lending him her devil-realm pet snake. "You leaving at this hour," Susan wondered what business Wyatt had in the dark of the night. "Keeping tabs on me already?" Wyatt asked Susan with a playful smile. "As your manager, I need to know where you are and what you are doing all the time. I am just doing my job don't get the wrong idea," Susan replied with a straight face but her red ear lobes gave her away. She was too embarrassed as Wyatt was right. "As my manager what else do you need to know?" Wyatt locked eyes with Susan who was trying hard to maintain her serious facade. He slowly closed in on her finding her expression cute.
Lost in Wyatt's mesmerizing eyes, Susan forgot to reply to Wyatt nor did she notice that he was slowly closing on her. When she was almost in his embrace, "Umm… um… um!" A disturbance woke Susan from her trance, soon she found that the source of the disturbance was none other than Corey. However, this time Corey appeared to be struggling to say anything as Park had blocked her mouth with her fiery hands. Feeling Susan, Wyatt, and Dredre's eyes on them Park's grip on Corey's mouth loosened and to ease the awkwardness she coughed twice, *Cough* *Cough* Corey who was freed immediately turned to Park and yelled, "What's your problem? That is it, I am locking you in the freezer." "Fine, I will take possession of you," Park threatened Corey right back.
"You promised you would not possess me again," Corey complained in dread reminding Park of her promise.
"You too said that you would only lock me in a freezer if I burned you again," Park reminded Corey if was not holding up her words then she too would not hold up her words. "I said that in fit of rage but you promised," Corey complained that Park was being unreasonable. "What's the difference? You should learn to be a woman of your word," Park acted high and mighty bullying a stupid teenage girl with identity and mother issues. N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l-B1n.
"Big sis Susan, Park is bulling me again," Corey rushed into Susan's embrace passing Wyatt who was right next to Susan, and complained about Park to her. "Tch," Park gritted her teeth in annoyance seeing Corey run into their mother's embrace and complain about her. They were like two siblings who fought over everything but always looked after each other. Wyatt looked at Corey who was getting cozy in Susan's embrace instead of him with a deep frown feeling that she did this on purpose. The only reason she was alive was he did not have proper evidence to support his gut feeling. Susan rubbed Corey's hair, consoling her, and looked at Wyatt with a helpless smile. She was actually happy that Corey was here because she knew that she could not control herself around Wyatt. There was something about him, she would get drunk just smelling him. His smell was just too addictive and calming but at the same time, it made her lose control and just go crazy. She was certain that if not for Corey she might have already climbed on Wyatt and— just thinking of those naughty thoughts she felt her face burn up.
