Fox lady

"It's a true honour for me to meet you, Lady Sheila. Never did I expect that I'd be able to meet you in this small 3rd Dimension. Can I know what it is that you are here for?"

Nodding her head in response to the greeting, the woman called Sheila didn't bother hiding the reason behind her visit since it wasn't a secret anyway.

"With the new Astral Stone mine being discovered, this 3rd Dimension is destined to turn rowdy for quite a while."

"And I don't need to explain how profitable it is for us during times of wars, right?"

Smiling a little as she found the sight of corpses as high as mountains and seas full of blood synonymous with profits, the woman couldn't help but start rubbing her soft fox ears with a face full of pride the same way she did whenever she was bored.

"I'm going to go to my hotel now, Mr James. Make sure to inform me when any of the families I mentioned come here to discuss business with you."

"Wait…! I…"

Taking a step back unconsciously since the seductive woman frowned and seeing this he was scared to the core, James hastily said, "I… I told my son to come here so that you can meet him, Lady Sheila. Unlike this old man, that boy is very talented in both cultivation and business."

"Humph! Are you saying that I should patiently wait until your son finally decides to grace me with his presence?"

"No no no no no…."

Shaking his head and taking another step back, the manager felt as if he was going to die trying to give his stupid son an opportunity of a lifetime.

While he knew that due to being old and at the end of his potential he didn't have a chance to get in Sheila's eyes, James sincerely hoped that his son would manage to obtain Sheila's support in one form or the other.

Being a direct descendant of the famous Khun Clan which was one of the wealthiest families in the entire Astral World, is that stupid son on his got in the good graces of Sheila, he wouldn't have to worry about anything for the rest of his life.

But that idiot like always was most likely wasting time by doing something meaningless instead of coming here on time.

"I…."

Gulping hard since Sheila despite smiling no longer seemed seductive and rather like a demon that wanted to kill him, James kept on looking around as if to come up with a reason to make her stay when the door was suddenly opened.

"What is it?!"

Roaring towards whoever it was that opened the door since he felt like he could use this opportunity to scold the one that dared interrupt him despite being ordered not to do and waste enough time until his son finally arrived.

"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me as long as I was with the beautiful Lady Sheila?!"

"How dare you ignore my words and come here?! Do you want to die?!"

"I'm…"

"Shut up."

Turning silent in an instant because the voice he heard belonged to the woman from the human fox race, James meekly looked towards Sheila who herself was looking at the woman that had opened the door.

"What happened?"

"I…"

Hesitating a little, the woman finally spoke since she could easily tell that even the manager was scared and respectful towards this unknown fox lady.

"Someone wants to meet the manager and then slapped his son unconscious when he was told to leave? How interesting. Did he do this just to get rid of his anger, or to bring the manager out? Let's find out, shall we?"

Sending the receptionist away, Sheila who was quite bored decided to go and see what was happening in hopes of getting rid of her boredom.

"Whatever happens next, behave as if I'm just another one of the regular staff here."

Telling James to go first and see what was happening, the woman who had already sensed what was happening since the start due to her high cultivation moved in front of a mirror.

Running her fingers through her long blonde hair, Sheila made sure that both of her ears were standing perfectly erect and that her tail was fluffy as well. Next, she moved the bright red kimono she was wearing to reveal both of her white shoulders as well as the upper part of her proud pair of breasts.

"Perfect. Now let's go see what the source of that boy's confidence is."

Leaving the room herself, Sheila began hoping that the boy who slapped the manager's son would manage to make her feel a little less bored.

…

Having slapped the boy and knocked him unconscious at the same time, Felix turned towards the receptionist and said, "Don't make me repeat myself once again."

After that happened, Felix didn't need to wait for even a few minutes before a man with an angry and overbearing pressure came towards him.

Tier 3… Manageable…

Saying those words to himself on the inside, Felix felt his nerves relax a little since he didn't think that anyone below Tier 4 would even be able to contend against him in terms of pure physique.

"Are you the one that dares to cause a ruckus inside the Black Market?"

Looking towards his fainted son who had a bright red print of someone's hand on his cheek, James despite feeling humiliated and wanting to kill the cloaked man, he held back not just because Sheila was interested in him, but also because he couldn't sense the other party's cultivation.

This could only mean that he was either a Tier 3 Astral Cultivator just like him, or maybe even higher.

"Ruckus? I came here to do business. And if this is what I need to do to make you come, then so be it."

"Humph! What business could you possibly have for me, the manager to personally come here?! Speak! If it turns out that its something stupid and not worth my time, don't even think about walking out of this building alive!"
