BXBX NOVEL Chapter 8: 8. Lavish Meal
Sony, who had snatched the Sky Orb from Kt\'s hands, fell flat on the g. Manager Rin, who had smacked Sony without any hesitation, retrieved the Sky Orb from her and handed it to Ria.
"Security, throw this garbage out. Don\'t let her step into this store again," Rin ordered restfully.
He was already worrying about how to appease Kt since it was his mistake to undermine a gold piggy card holder. In addition to his worries, Sony was also creating more headaches for him.
"Mr. Kt, I failed to properly teach my staff. Please forgive me." Rin bowed again with a sincere expression. Wh Kt was not responding, he turned towards Ria and hinted at her to interve.
Ria immediately seized the chance and stepped closer to Kt. "Mr. Kt, thank you for doing business with us. Please take your order, and the discount card will be provided on the day of delivery. I apologize on behalf of my colleague," she spoke respectfully.
Kt accepted the orb and gold piggy card from the manager. After completing the formalities, he left the store.
As the manager nudged Ria, she hurriedly followed Kt, trying to gage in a conversation with him. But Kt just smiled and walked on his way.
"Ria, you\'ve be promoted to sior assistant. From now on, you will handle all the VIP customers. Keep in mind that you must serve that young master very well in the future," Manager Rin, who walked from behind, spoke with a serious face.
Nonetheless, he looked somewhat depressed since he wasn\'t able to befrid the gold piggy card holder.
Ria, however, was smiling shyly, like a new bride who was waiting in anticipation for her first wedding night. She had be promoted just after a few days of joining.
After leaving the pet store, Kt headed towards \'Night Witch Street\'. It was already eving, and his stomach was rumbling with hunger. He also needed a place to stay for the next two days. For that, Kt decided to visit Hotel Moonlight, the perfect spot for dining and resting.
\'From now on, I should focus more on my magic. Aunt said that my parts are great magicians. I must not disappoint my aunt wh she comes to visit me. More than that, I want to see Thea\'s face wh I surpass her,\' Kt murmured while making his way towards Night Witch Street, the slder bamboo bag hanging on his back carrying his old and new orbs.

"Luna, where are you?" Sony, who stood outside the pet store, called her stepsister.
"My classes just finished. I\'m walking home. Wait, are you crying?" Luna asked, hearing Sony\'s sobs.
"Luna, I just lost my job. I don\'t know what to do now. Ahuuu… Huuuu…" Sony replied, her voice stuttering as she controlled her tears.
"What…? But why? Ar\'t you a sior assistant? How can they remove you so suddly?" Luna asked, confused.
"It\'s a big story. I will tell you later. Please come here to pick me up. I came with others in the morning." Sony said, rubbing her eyes.
"It\'s okay… I will be there soon. Don\'t worry about the job. I will help you find another one," Luna replied assuringly in an elderly tone.
This Luna was Kt\'s classmate wh he joined the school.

Night Witch Street...
Inside Hotel Moonlight...
"Sorry, sir, we are currtly rovating all our regular rooms. Only VIP rooms are available," the lady at the reception replied with an uneasy smile.
"Oh, th I will take the VIP room. Please register a room for me," Kt replied without thinking much.
"Sir, the VIP rooms cost gold coin for every 4 hours. Also, we don\'t offer any discounts if you don\'t have a VIP pass," the 30-year-old receptionist, dressed in a tight skirt and business suit, replied with an artificial smile.
"No problem. I will take a VIP room, and most importantly, it should have an aura chamber," Kt replied, placing his gold piggy card on the transpart glass desk.
As an expericed worker, the receptionist knows how to act without mixing her prejudice with business. She immediately picked up the card.
"Sir, every VIP room is equipped with advanced aura chambers, so you don\'t need to worry about that. Please let me know how many days you need the room for," she asked while maintaining her composure.
"Two days, mostly."
The receptionist placed the card inside a magic circle behind her and tered a number. Immediately, one gold coin was deducted, and Kt received a message in his sky orb.
Typically, the hotel only charges a small deposit, with the customers only needing to pay the full amount upon departure. However, the receptionist charged more coins to see whether Kt could truly afford a VIP room.
Wh the transaction wt through, she felt surprised for a second. The next momt, her tone became more humble, and a guine smile appeared on her face.
"Sir, this is the key to your room. Do you have any luggage?" she asked while handing Kt a red keystone and his piggy card.
"Nothing. Thanks for your service," Kt replied as he moved towards the house eagles\' station on one side.
By placing the keystone on its head, the house eagle would directly carry the customer to his allotted room. For others, they need to manually direct the pets towards the designated room.
After reaching his suite, the first thing Kt did was order food by using a glass orb placed on the table for customer service. Before the food arrived, he began checking out every room.
The VIP suite included a personal spa, an aura room, a dining hall, a large scre to watch magic competitions conducted all a the world, and a combat room to test their magus level.
Within five minutes, the food arrived directly in his room. A middle-aged man in black and clothes neatly arranged the food items on the dining table and left without making a sound.
\'Ahhh… finally,\' Kt sighed, recalling his last meal, where he ate inside a big hotel along with Thea and her grandmother. \'It\'s already be one year since Grandma passed. I wonder what Thea had for lunch,\' Kt muttered while thinking about Thea, who always arranged his meals.
Kt finished every bite without wasting a single grain and tered the aura room to practice magic.
He had be stuck at the 3rd magus stage for two and a half years because of the Meridian curse and was eager to see how much would be his progress now.
As he stepped inside and sat in a meditative posture, the aura room locked automatically. However, Kt had forgott to lock the main door.
