Lucius smirked, waving his hand dismissively. "Don''t overthink it, Luna. We''re not going through all that trouble."


    Luna raised her eyebrow. "Oh? Then what''s the plan? You''re not about to tell me you have a dragon hidden somewhere, are you?"


    Lucius leaned back, resting his chin on his knuckles. "Did you forget about my power?"


    Luna blinked. "Oops... I totally forgot."


    She laughed, shaking her head. "Master always has the simplest yet most ridiculous solutions."


    Liora, who had been silently watching, finally spoke. "So what are you saying? We don''t need to find a dragon?"


    Lucius nodded. "Exactly. Just buy a reptile. I''ll evolve it into a dragon."


    Loreia, who had been sipping on a drink, nearly choked. "Wait... You can do that?"


    Before Lucius could respond, Luna practically jumped in excitement. "Of course he can! Master was the best Evolist in our previous world!"


    Loreia frowned, wiping her mouth. "Evolist? I''ve never heard of that term."


    Luna smirked, clearly enjoying the moment. "It means someone who can directly evolve and strengthen beasts."


    She then rolled her eyes. "Unlike normal tamers who rely on contracts and gradual training, Evolists create superior creatures from scratch."


    Loreia''s was a bit surprised. "So basically, you can take any weak beast and turn it into something absurdly powerful?"


    Lucius nodded. "That''s right. That''s why we don''t need to go looking for a dragon—we''ll just make one."


    Loreia exhaled, rubbing her temples. "You''re ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous."


    Lucius sighed, mirroring her gesture as he rubbed his own temples. "Why is that surprising? The moment I gave you a Divine-Tier talent, you should''ve realized I''m not normal."


    Loreia folded her arms, narrowing her eyes. "Oh, I realized it. I''m just still adjusting to the level of insanity that follows you around."


    Lucius smirked. "That''s fair. But you''ll get used to it."


    Loreia scoffed. "Will I, though?"


    Luna grinned. "Oh, you will. The sooner you accept that logic doesn''t apply when Master''s involved, the happier you''ll be."


    Loreia gave Luna a sideways glance. "That''s not exactly reassuring."


    Liora, who had been silently observing, finally spoke. "Enough talking. If we''re doing this, we should move quickly. The best selections will be at the higher-end beast markets."


    Liora adjusted her gloves. "That depends on how they respond when we arrive."


    As they approached the Beast Castle, the massive gates came into view.


    Inside, some of the rarest creatures in the region were waiting.


    Luna grinned, cracking her knuckles. "Alright, let''s go shopping."


    ---


    They were now inside the Beast Castle. They could see the high-end feeling from the grandeur of the building.


    There were a lot of wealthy tamers and nobles that roamed around, inspecting beasts for contracts or just pets.


    It didn''t take long for one of the staff members to notice Loreia and the other.


    They were three beautiful women who were elegant and had some noble auras.


    Even if they weren''t carrying visible insignias, their refined posture and presence immediately made the staff think that they were wealthy.

    One of the staff members immediately thought, "Rich clients... I need to make them spend as much as possible."


    Making his best customer service smile, he approached with a polite bow. "Welcome to The Beast Castle, one of the finest beast markets in the city. How may I assist you today?"


    Loreia stepped forward without hesitation. "I want a strong reptilian beast."


    Luna leaned in slightly, smirking. "Specifically something related to dragons."


    The staff member''s eyes lit up. "A dragon-related beast? Interesting choice."


    He straightened up, adjusting his uniform. "And what rank of beast are you looking for?"


    Liora''s expression remained cold and unreadable as she answered. "Just show us C- or B-Rank options."


    The staff member almost blinked in surprise. C or B-Rank?


    Most newcomers barely dared to ask for D-Rank beasts. These women weren''t ordinary.


    Composing himself quickly, he nodded with a professional smile. "I see. Then please, follow me. I will personally show you our finest collection."


    With that, he turned and led them deeper into the market, where the rare and powerful beasts resided.
