"Compensation, I like the sound of it. Give me the heads of those two devil merchants as compensation then I will leave your faction alone," Seeing Belphegor finally bring up compensation Ezra did not immediately reveal what he wanted from him but continued to be stubborn. He too like Belphegor, did not want to break his character of a drunk arrogant chaos dwarf. After all, his target was Belphegor and not some five-year-old kid.
"I have already told you that is not possible. Ask something else. Otherwise, there is no point in this settlement discussion. Let us just have a trial," Belphegor said confidently knowing that the dwarf did not want a trial.
"Finally something I can work with. Since you have proposed this, you might as well tell me what you think is equal to the value of two devil merchants," Belphegor nodded his head agreeing to the dwarf proposal. In his mind, he sneered at the dwarf seeing it knee to his pressure.
"I do indeed have something in mind, the lease of the Blight Brood Clubhouse in the main part of sector DS0909. I think that lease is an equal trade for two devil merchants," Since Belphegor asked him to state his price, Ezra did not hesitate to ask what he felt was a fair exchange for two devil merchants.
"The lease of clubhouse, are you out of your mind or do you think I am a fool? The clubhouse is located in the main part of the sector DS0909 its lease is worth a lot more than two devil merchants. Not happening ask something else," Belphegor looked at the dwarf in disbelief and wondered if the dwarf was not after him but truly the lease of the clubhouse.
Thousands of years ago Belphegor and his friends bought the lease to the land on which the Blight Brood Clubhouse was built at a dirt-cheap rate. They were able to do so because nobody knew that in a few centuries, it would become the main part of the sector DS0909. Since then the rate of the lease of the surrounding land has skyrocketed by a hundred thousand times. They were lucky.
Many have offered and threatened them to exchange for the lease but they rejected it without hesitation. Many were even willing to buy the lease for the current lease rate since the land was at a pristine location and any kind of business would thrive there. But they could not get it because the faction never showed willingness to sell the lease regardless of the threats and riches promised to them in exchange for the lease.
This was why Belphegor reconsidered his assumption about the dwarf's target. After all, it made more sense that the dwarf went through all this trouble for the lease of land on which the Blight Brood Clubhouse was built than him. Especially considering that he and the dwarf had no grievances before.
Realizing this Belphegor felt like he gained clarity but also a sense of urgency grew within him. He wanted to get the dwarf to reach a settlement before the forces behind the dwarf intervened. The confidence and playfulness in Belphegor's mind now vanished and he had his game face on.
