“No, it doesn’t. If you want it, I can get you the devil merchant code… For an appropriate price… I can get you anything,” the jet-black monster worm’s replay was full of deceit. I cannot catch a break with this guy. Everything he said was misleading and it wasn’t technically a lie in some way it was true. He reminds me of the ad agencies back on earth.

If I were not carefully scrutinizing every word that came out of the jet-black monster worm’s mouth, I would have been led to believe that I would have to pay a price of equal value to get the devil merchant code from the jet-black worm.

When what the jet-black monster worm said was entirely different.

1.If you want it, I can get you the Devil merchant code.

2. For an appropriate price…I can get you anything you want.

“Good, then get me the devil merchant code,” I said immediately surprising the jet-black worm having seen through its falsehood.

“As I said, I can get you anything for a price,” the Jet-black monster worm neither agreed to my request nor denied it. But from the looks of it, the jet-black monster worm was ignoring my demand.

“Stop repeating yourself like an NPC and give me the devil merchant code,” I said sternly, making sure the jet-black monster would not be able to feign ignorance.

“NCP? What is that?” the jet-black worm asked me instead of giving me the devil merchant code. I blame myself for this one.

“Just give me the devil merchant code,” I shouted not bothering to entertain the devil’s charade anymore.

“Devil merchant code, I have that,” The jet-black monster worm said.

“Give it to me,” I ordered the devil.

“Fine, do you want the copy or the original one? Let me tell you the original one is precious and worth more than the copy. If you ask me, I recommend the copy,” the jet-black monster worm recommended.

“Are you telling me that I will have to pay for the original copy of the devil merchant code?” I asked the jet-black worm after hearing its remarks. What was I to make of the words, ‘the original is more precious and more than the copy.’

“For a price, I can get what you want, be it the original devil merchant code,” the jet-black worm monster declared confidently.

“I don’t want the original devil merchant code, I want the original copy of the devil merchant code,” I rectified the jet-black monster worms understanding how it had twisted my words.

The original devil merchant code can also mean the very first devil merchant code, considering its history it would be priceless.

As for the original copy of the devil merchant code that I asked for, it would not be worth much. And from my conversation with the jet-black monster worm so far, I was getting a strong feeling that the original copy of the devil merchant code was something the jet-black monster worm should be giving to its customers but it chose not to unless it was pressed by them to give them the original copy of the devil merchant code.

“Here’s the copy,” the jet-black monster worm said as it passed me the card it just summoned.

I did not take the card from the jet-black monster worm, instead asked him, “Is it the original copy of the devil merchant code?”

“You want the copy or not,” the jet-black monster worm did not respond to me, instead it insisted on giving me its copy of something. Since it did not confirm that it was giving me the original copy of the devil merchant code, I really could not confirm what it was giving me.

“I want the original copy of the devil merchant code,” I yelled at the jet-black worm because it kept ignoring my demands and did whatever it felt like.

The original devil merchant code, the original copy of the devil merchant code, and the copy of the original devil merchant code, all three of them were different.

As I said earlier, the original devil merchant code was the first devil merchant code to be written, it was antique, making it priceless.

As for the original copy of the devil merchant code, it was the exact copy of the first devil merchant code.

As for the copy of the devil merchant code, it was a copy of the first devil merchant code copied by the jet-black monster worm. Considering its actions so far I don’t think I can trust the copy made by the jet-black monster worm.

All this was my assumption based on my conversation with the jet-black monster worm. I know I said one should not jump to assumptions or conclusions when dealing with the devil but if I do that it will be an endless circle of ‘he said, I said’ between me and the jet-black monster worm.

Since I had limited time, I had to be smart about it. Yes, I could end up making mistakes but I had to risk it. Otherwise, there would be no point to this if Anna was…

“I have personally made this copy of the devil merchant code, here take it,” the jet-black monster worm continued to insist on giving me its copy of the devil merchant code. At least this time it agreed that the copy it was giving me was the copy of the devil merchant code made by it.

“Give me the original copy of the devil merchant code, Belphegor,” I yelled at the jet-black monster worm in the monster worm communication method.

“How do you know my name?” the jet-black monster worm asked me. The shock of me calling it by its true name was apparent in the jet-black monster worm’s voice.

“Does it matter? Just give me the original copy of the devil merchant code, Belphegor,” I repeated myself but it was worth it because Belphegor couldn’t seem to feign ignorance to my demands anymore.

I say so because he handed me the original copy of the devil merchant code. And with this it’s about time, I made this devil my bitch, like how I used the laws of the countries to make their pretend democratic governments my bitchies.
