With the naughty Corey getting comfortable in her embrace, Susan looked at Wyatt helplessly causing his frown to ease. Seeing this scene unfold in front of her Park suddenly blurted, "I accept," grabbing everyone's attention. "You accept what?" Susan asked Park in confusion. "I agree to Wyatt's employment contract," Park repeated in detail. "What!" Corey exclaimed in disbelief. She could not believe Park would agree to Wyatt's unreasonable contract without even trying to negotiate. She wondered if Park was out of her mind. Devil merchant recommendation token was impossible to get even if one were willing to pay ten times the price but Corey did not think it would warrant them becoming Wyatt's slaves for the next century. A Job with a one-time payment and no benefits sounded a lot like buying a slave. "Good, sign the contract with Dredre. Learn the basics of a demon merchant from Dredre and then explore the devil merchant code along with Susan. Together you two can cover a lot of ground," Wyatt instructed Park. He thought Park would resist a lot before ultimately agreeing to his terms of sale but it seems something changed her mind. It saves him the hassle. Park was someone who fought against Belphegor. Though she lost, it was worth noticing that Belphegor had the support of the devil merchant code and the faction 'Seven Princes of Hell.' Not to mention, what remained of her forces in the dark realm after her death continued to loyally wait for her return. Though some had followed the undead devil Agony, they were not to be blamed as they believed Agony was the real Corey because of little Beam who followed Agony. Wyatt believed that with a little bit of help from him Park could reestablish her forces and influence in the dark realm. With the demon invasion on the verge, Wyatt had big plans for Park. Hopefully, she was up to it. Wyatt did not expect Park and reestablished forces to fight the present-day Belphegor and his faction when they lost horribly to them in the past but it would be a start to Wyatt's plans in the dark realm.

Park was worth every bit of the devil merchant recommendation token and then more. "..." Corey wanted to yell at Wyatt and Park not to ignore her but hearing that she would be learning and working with Susan as a demon merchant she lost all the opinions about working under Wyatt for a century without any benefits. For her being with Susan was all the benefit she needed. Park nodded at Wyatt and turning to look at the pixie she demanded, "Dredre dear, send me the employment contract I will sign it right now." Showing her commitment, Park locked eyes with Wyatt and thought, 'Wyatt, I trust you hopefully you don't prove me wrong.'

Hundred-year commitment, this was not new to Park the last she entered something similar with Belphegor to save her dad's soul but it did not turn out well. Not only did she fall for Belphegor's trap but she also failed to get her father's soul and to protect the friends who shared her burden throughout her Hundred-year commitment with Belphegor. Now she was entering another hundred-year commitment with Wyatt, she should have learned her lesson by now but this time she was doing to take a chance on the wholesome scene in front of her. She had something similar back in the dark realm but she failed to protect it. This time however together with Wyatt she hoped for a different outcome. Wyatt nodded at Park with a firm gaze, showing his sincerity toward Park's trust in him. Then turning to his exclusive pixie, he said, "Dredre, I am leaving their demon merchant training in your hands." "Don't worry, I will teach them everything I know," Dredre replied enthusiastically. In her tribe, teaching was a role only available to the elder pixies. So she was particularly excited about getting an opportunity to teach two rookie demon merchants about devil merchant code. "Teacher Dredre, we are in your care," Susan said with a sweet smile. Though this little pixie was gunning for her position as Wyatt's exclusive manager, Susan could not get mad at this cute little lady. Listening to Susan call her teacher, Dredre hovered happily in the void like a drunk fly. Seeing this Wyatt shook his head thinking the Pixies were just too easy to satisfy. "I am heading out," Wyatt prepared to leave the seed world, only to hear Susan hurriedly remind him, "You still did not share your schedule with me." "Schedule, you have been working for me since we have known each other. Tell me, have you ever seen me organized enough to have a schedule?" Wyatt asked Susan with a playful smile knowing that she wanted to know where he was going this late at night. Unlike the last time when Susan blurted her true intentions, this time she had learned to hide her intentions behind carefully chosen words. So Wyatt added, "Just speak your mind, I won't judge you." "Why would you judge me? As your manager how am I the bad one to ask for your schedule? I am just doing my job here. If anything your uncooperativeness is not allowing me to do my job properly," Susan continued to hide behind her words and went a step further to blame Wyatt for being uncooperative. "What if I said I am going to meet someone?" Wyatt decided to play Susan's game and beat her at it. "Good to know, was that hard," Susan replied nonchalantly but she desperately wanted to know who Wyatt was going to meet at this hour in the night. "What if I said I am going to meet a beautiful woman?" Wyatt's grin grew wider as he saw the aloofness on Susan's face erase and replace with her true feelings.
