"Investments?" Broken repeated RememberMe's words and then turned to Freya.
"Yes," Freya responded promptly. "I have explained the contract to you, right?"
"Wait, you never told me that they are the ones who would be making the investments! Didn't you say this had something to do with Northstar?" Broken continued.
"Ah, I mentioned their names, but maybe you are not familiar with their real names," Freya giggled.
Freya had previously discussed the interest of a major brand like Northstar in investing in Slumdon Town's development. Although Broken had been amazed then, he hadn't fully considered the sponsorship real until now. This new revelation-that it involved RememberMe and the others-left him even more stunned.
"Yes, Master. That's correct! I will sponsor the project with 2,000 gold coins. It's a small amount for me. If you need more, you can always ask later," RememberMe said enthusiastically.
PussyCat then chimed in, "I also have 2,000 gold coins for you, but not as in-game currency. It's in the form of goods. I hope you like it."
Broken's eyes widened in shock. "2,000 gold coins from each of you? I didn't expect the deal to be this substantial," he said, turning to Freya. "And who owns Northstar?"
Freya chuckled softly. "PussyCat's father..."
Before she could finish, Pussycat interjected. "Yes, that's my father's company, Northstar. We're working on a new Capsule Device, the latest model. I'm willing to give you one of these devices and our brand new Electric Motorhome, the Northstar C-Zero. It's a spacious bus valued at 2,000 gold coins. With it, you wouldn't have to worry about long trips and could still explore the world of Yunatea."
Broken's eyes grew even wider. "Northstar? You own Northstar?"
Pussycat chuckled. "No, that's my father. I'm just helping him."
"2,000 gold coins is equivalent to 2 million USD, and that's not a small amount," Broken remarked, still trying to comprehend the offer. "But I'm not sure if I need that much money for the city's development. So, what's the deal, Freya?"
Freya responded, "The deal is simple. You just need to use the home bus, the Northstar C- Zero, provided by Northstar. Use it whenever you want, and the home bus will be completely yours."
have been prepared for your three guests," she said to Broken.
Broken then turned to the trio. "How long do you intend to stay in this city?"
"This city is going to be packed with visitors soon, so I plan to stay for a very long time, hahaha," RememberMe said enthusiastically.
"Having a hotel here would be great," Pussycat added softly with a chuckle. "Can I choose a plot of land to buy, Broken?"
Freya chimed in, "You sure have inherited your parents' business acumen, PussyCat?" PussyCat laughed lightly. "Not really. I've always wanted to start a business in this game, but I've never had the chance. Sometimes I get tired of running businesses outside. I want to have some fun creating one in-game."

In the grand throne room of the Keseon Kingdom, King Fergus was finishing up cleaning the grime from between his teeth. A man with a sizable pot belly, he crossed his legs leisurely and commanded, "Bring that stupid player here immediately."
A few minutes later, a player walked confidently into the throne room. Disrespectfully dressed in casual attire, he stood before the King without a hint of reverence.
"Who is this person you refer to as a threat to the Keseon Kingdom?" King Fergus asked.
"Your Majesty," began Constantine.
He was a tall and muscular man, standing at an impressive 1.93 meters (6.34 feet). His blond hair reached his shoulders, framing his piercing blue eyes and strong jaw. He wore snug leather armor, and his posture was unwaveringly confident. Constantine was the Wrath
Champion.
"A player by the name of Broken has taken over Slumdon Town, a desolate city near the borders of the Keseon Kingdom. He has formed an alliance with players who have deep pockets. It is likely that these individuals will not hesitate to spend large sums of money to entertain themselves.
"I would suggest that you take swift action and destroy them immediately, lest your kingdom be threatened should many of our visitors and sources of income choose to remain in Slumdon Town rather than in our cities near the border."
Constantine concluded his statement with a sinister smile spreading across his face.
