Night Witch Street, within the confines of a small inn,

Five teagers who wore lavish clothes gathered for a serious discussion. Seated a a table, they were adorned in lavish attire, a stark contrast to the dimly lit surings.

Before them, steaming cups of coffee awaited, adding a sse of comfort to the tse atmosphere.

Fatty B (the Gold Rat, the person who helped Kt while shopping) sat comfortably in his chair and took leisurely sips of his coffee, his demeanor relaxed yet observant.

Opposite him sat a tall figure known as the Red Fox, his imposing presce commanding atttion. Flanking him were two youths, one clad in black and the other in , known simply as Blackie and Whitey, respectively.

Ev though Blackie and Whitey were competitors in this gathering, both of these fellows work as lackies for Red Fox, who has great authority in this gathering.

The last remaining member of this gathering is 'Fur, who sat beside Fatty B. He has a very thin build and a pointy nose.

With an air of authority, Red Fox, who wore a crimson coat adorned with the likess of a fox, addressed the assembly.

"As a one-star member of the Fortune Hunter syndicate, I intd to claim the prime seed Magus in the upcoming Secondary Magus competition at Sky Family School," he declared, his tone laced with confidce and pride.

However, his proclamation met with an immediate objection from Fur, a slder young man with a pointed nose who sat at the edge of his seat, his expression one of urgcy.

"What?! How is that possible? Mia Snow is the prime seed in this competition. Last time, it was you who claimed her as your prime seed. This time, it is my turn," he interjected, his voice filled with determination.

"Fur, stop quarreling. We are all gtlem who registered under the Fortune Hunter syndicate for gambling rights in Silver Leaf City. But only Red Fox has one-star status among us. So, he has the right to choose the prime seed, Mia Snow." Blackie supported Red Fox with a serious counter.

[Fortune Hunter syndicate is a legal tity that grants licses for betting on Blue Planet. Anyone can register as a gambler. Star status is awarded based on their winnings and the tax paid to the syndicate. One star is the lowest status. (Gamblers had to buy specific chips from the association for legal gambling.)]

"Hey Rat, are you sure? He seems weakest of weak. Wh I inquired about him, disciples said, 'Kt Clark is the number one old suitcase' on campus." Blackie questioned in a doubtful tone as he wondered what happed to Fatty's brain.

"Red Fox, I'm getting late to work. You know about me—my picks are always like this. The last seed, Kt Clark, is my pick. Let's stamp our picks." Fatty B declared in a serious tone.

Feeling happy for Fatty's low Iq bid, Red Fox took out a bonded paper from his bamboo bag, which contained the official branding and serial number of Fortune Hunter syndicate.

Blackie took the bonded paper from Red Fox and drafted a contract in jet speed. Now the blackie and y have good picks as Fatty gave up on good candidates.

In just two minutes, Blackie readied the documt and placed it at the cter of the table. All of them took turns verifying the draft, and after satisfying themselves with the draft, they stamped their seal and uploaded the documt picture to the Fortune Hunter Forum.

After five minutes, a reply came to their glass orb's confirming their bids. The message read,

"The official branded chips will be st before the competition. You are free to bet on other candidates who were not picked. Happy Gambling..."

After reading their messages, Blackie and Whitey followed Red Fox while jumping joyfully along the road. Fur stood up from his seat, patted the fatty's shoulder, and left with a disappointed sigh. Fatty sat alone in the cafe with a hot cup of coffee before him.

"Young master, Kt, don't disappoint me." Fatty muttered with clched fists.

Meanwhile, on the top floor of Moonlight hotel, Kt wore a new set of clothes and got ready to receive his first pet. He had already prepared to vacate the room as his hanging pearl palace got ready for him.

After taking a last look at the room, Kt called for the main servant to get down from the top floor, which is inaccessible with normal pet eagles.

Soon, the servant lady came flying in a mutated sparrow. Kt took the back seat and descded from the top floor.

Just as he stepped onto the g floor, he saw Ric, Mona, and Lina kneeling on the floor, accompanied by Ric's father, who stood with a humble gesture.
