If Ezra had shown even a little interest in the Card World, Belphegor would have never considered giving him Handsome Fox\'s true name under any circumstances. Worrying that instead of trying to take revenge on Handsome Fox the dwarf would try to contact Handsome Fox.
Belphegor could not stand by and watch this happen after all Handsome Fox was the ace in the \'Seven Prince of Hell\' faction\'s deck to conquer the card world. If Handsome Fox changes his mind under the influence of the dwarf at the last second then they like their predecessors would fail to conquer the Card World and likely follow the same fate as their predecessors unable to withstand the consequence of failure.
The devil merchant code\'s inter-realm travel rights to the card world were worth enough to empty the entire savings of the \'Seven Princes of Hell\' factions that it had saved over thousands of years. It might as well be the second most valuable asset of the faction of the lease to the Blight Brood clubhouse land in sector DS0909. Belphegor would never consider using either of these two as compensation for the dwarf, regardless of the consequence of going to the trial, because Belphegor knew that either of them as a gift could easily get a Ruler Class force to help them out of this situation.
Understanding this Ezra never showed interest in the rights to the card world. Instead used the lease of the Blight Brood clubhouse land in sector DS0909 as smoke to cloud Belphegor\'s judgment. As Ezra expected, scared by stakes and hyped by the notion that he was right Belphegor blindly charged ahead walking right into Ezra\'s trap. Giving everything Ezra sought from this settlement discussion and even more.
For the faction to cough up 13 devil merchant recommendations at once was a huge deal, collecting 13 devil merchant recommendations would take them 13 devil merchants and a decade. This was not an easy task as not all devil merchant will give their recommendation token to the faction, the faction has to exchange proper merits or resources for it. If a faction just took from their members for nothing then nobody would join that faction. Therefore forking out 13 recommendation tokens at once would leave a huge blow dent in the faction treasury especially now that it was emptied to buy the rights to the card world.
Despite losing 13 devil merchant recommendation tokens Belphegor was happy that he finally laid this matter to rest because he was worried that the dwarf\'s elder was planning to use this appeal to cripple the faction and once they were at their lowest they could make a play for the lease of clubhouse land. Though he was certain he was right about this, Belphegor did not care if he was right or wrong he was happy to have erased any future troubles over this matter once and for all.
Belphegor came to this settlement discussion prepared for a fight even though he was worried he would have to go up against the Elder Chaos Dwarf, what conspire they were brewing, and whatnot but once he saw the young dwarf show interest in the lease of the clubhouse land Belphegor no longer wanted to fight he just wanted to peacefully settle this.
The only reason the faction was able to keep the lease of the clubhouse land so long was because many forces were interested in this land. All these forces had come to an unspoken decision not to covet the land to avoid a fallout. This did not mean Belphegor and his faction were in the clear they could not use the land for any other purpose than for their clubhouse. Otherwise considering the size of the land type could build a whole commercial block with big shops, malls, and work space, earning them a fortune in rent. However, because of the unspoken regulation of the surrounding forces, Belphegor and his faction were stuck with a huge ass clubhouse right in the middle of the most expensive part of the sector DS0909.
Belphegor and his faction indeed planned for a huge ass clubhouse when they bought the land but seeing the neighborhood improve at an incredible pace they too wanted to take advantage of that but were unable to because of their limited strength.
Though the lease of the clubhouse land was a lot of trouble, it was too valuable for Belphegor or his faction to let go. So despite the trouble they continued to hold on to it as their last straw while planning to develop it when they had the strength to withstand the pressure of the surrounding forces.
However, seeing an unknown elder chaos dwarf pop up out of nowhere and target the lease of the clubhouse land Belphegor immediately became alert because he knew that regardless of whether the elder chaos dwarf was successful in his conspiracy or not his and the faction\'s destruction was given.
This was why Belphegor was so docile and gunning for a settlement despite the steep cost the faction would have to pay. When it comes to the lease of the clubhouse land regardless of who wins, Belphegor knew the faction was going to lose horribly. They could not afford this loss especially now that they had invested so much into the conquest of the card world. Understanding what was at stake, despite the risk of all this being just him overthinking Belphegor wanted to settle it here and now.
This was what Ezra was after by having Belphegor connect the dots from the two devil merchants to himself to the lease of the clubhouse land. Ezra bluffed Belphegor into believing he was after the lease of the clubhouse land when he was actually after the key to their conquest of the card world. The best part was that it not only worked but he also ended up acquiring 13 devil merchant recommendation tokens. A massive wealth for a demon merchant.
