Feneport Kingdom, Jeffrey Territory.
Through the form of a Bestowal, Hobart received the proceeds from this Tarot Club meeting. From the information trades at this gathering, he had earned a total of 8300 Pounds and four Extraordinary Materials! There was also the 100 Pounds rental fee for the Psychological Spoon.
This set a new record for earnings from the Tarot Club! Of course, such "performance" had much to do with Cattleya, who spent money without batting an eye.

That afternoon, under Hobart's supervision, Shier successfully advanced to Sequence 8, Provoker, reaching the stage of this pathway where people were particularly prone to courting death.
Of course, Shier did not dare provoke Hobart. As he reined in his spirituality, he asked Dennis beside him, "Are you still fetching wash water for Lord? Do you still secretly cry whenever you think of your father?"
Dennis's face immediately turned bright red as he charged over to fight Shier.
