Beast Hack: Customizing Beasts and Capturing Beauties

It didn't take long for the original buyer to arrive in person. They were a group of well-dressed individuals.

Leading them was a tall, sharp-eyed man in a formal black coat, accompanied by two others dressed in expensive attire.

They were actually from the Aurelius family, who were one of the wealthiest and most powerful houses in the region.

They were known for their obsession with beasts and relentless pursuit of knowledge.

Unlike other noble families that focused purely on combat and wealth, the Aurelius were researchers and experimenters.

They believed that true strength wasn't just about raising powerful beasts. It was about creating them.

But they were also strong as their patriarch was actually a Sovereign-Tier talent beast tamer.

With a genius of that level leading them, the Aurelius Family had made major breakthroughs in beast evolution, genetics, and combat enhancements.

Argentis was meant to be part of their next experiment, as they were quite interested in its strange ability.

They had ordered the creature not to raise it, not to train it, but to dissect it, study it, and break down its genetic potential.

Although Argentis was only a C-Rank beast, its rarity and unknown potential made it valuable.

It was valuable enough that someone of high status had come in person to settle the matter and that person was Cassius Aurelius.

He was a direct descendant of the Aurelius main family. He was quite annoyed as he looked at the three women standing before him.

He measured them a bit before finally speaking. "So these are the ones who think they can take what's already ours."

Luna smirked, unfazed by his condescending tone. "Who said it was ever yours? You paid way less than us, so by logic, it's ours now."

Cassius's eye twitched. "But we are from the Aurelius Family. That alone should tell you that we have the right to claim it."

Luna let out a short laugh. "Oh? So what you're really saying is that you're too poor to match our price and have to hide behind your family name to make up for it?"

Cassius's face darkened.

Before he could respond, Luna reached into her coat again and pulled out another five A-Tier Beast Cores.

With a smug grin, she tossed them toward the manager. "Here. Five more. We've now tripled his payment. So hand it over."

The manager visibly gulped as he caught the cores, his hands trembling slightly.

Cassius's expression darkened, his fingers twitching at his sides. He was not used to being challenged, especially not like this.

He locked his eyes onto Luna, who was still smirking. He immediately sneered. "You think money is everything?"

"The Aurelius family is beyond something as simple as wealth. Our connections, our power, our influence."

"Those are things you can't buy, no matter how many beast cores you throw around."

Luna chuckled, tilting her head. "Oh? Then why are you getting so worked up? If money isn't everything, why don't you match our price?"

Cassius's lips pressed into a thin line.

Loreia smirked. "Oh, wait. You can't match it, can you?"

Luna leaned in slightly and mocked him. "Aren't you embarrassed, Cassius? You talk about power, influence, and prestige, but here you are, outbid by a few 'nobodies.'"

Cassius clenched his jaw. "This is not just about money. Argentis was meant for our family's research. You think you can just walk in and take something we specifically ordered?"

Liora, who had been silent, finally spoke. "The transaction isn't complete. Until ownership is finalized, it's not yours."

Cassius narrowed his eyes. "Do you have any idea who you're provoking?" Stay updated through My Virtual Library Empire

Luna grinned. "Do you?"

The manager, still holding the beast cores, was sweating bullets.

Cassius exhaled, rolling his shoulders before regaining his composure. "Fine. You want to play this game? Let's see if you're still laughing when you realize who you've just made an enemy of."

Loreia raised her eyebrow. "Oh no, I'm so scared. What are you going to do? Cry to your family?"@@novelbin@@

Luna chuckled. "Careful, big sis. You might break him."

Cassius glared at them, then turned toward the manager.

"Make your choice. Who do you value more—us or some nameless fools throwing beast cores around?"

The manager swallowed hard. He could feel the situation was pressing down on him.

He knew there was no escaping this situation. He needed to make a decision now.

After a long moment, he took a deep breath. He had made the decision.

He turned toward Luna and bowed down. "I apologize, but the Aurelius Family is much stronger. I cannot go against them."

Luna's smirk didn't falter. "I see."

She exhaled lightly, then tilted her head toward Liora, a knowing smirk forming.

She had already planned what to do if the manager rejected her. "Then how about we make it so that you choose us?"

The manager blinked, confused, but before he could say anything—

Luna looked at Liora and smirked. "Do it."

Without hesitation, Liora stepped forward and released her aura.

A suffocating aura was emitted from Liora, pressuring all the people there.

Some gasped as they felt the invisible pressure crushing down on them.

The manager broke into a cold sweat with his knees trembling as he felt Liora's aura.

Cassius frowned and pointed at her. "You think you're the only one who can do that?"

He straightened and raised his hand. "Let me show you the power of the Aurelius family."

A second wave of aura erupted from Cassius, clashing directly against Liora's aura.

The surrounding customers instinctively backed away, feeling the ground beneath them vibrate under the force of the collision.

Sparks of intimidation energy crackled in the air, two powerful presences colliding in an invisible battle of wills.

The manager nearly collapsed, struggling to keep himself upright as he stood between two pure killing intents.

The entire beast castle had gone silent because of Liora and Cassius.

Both of them weren't willing to back down at all and it was all just for Argentis.
