Sfevo Manor.
Banquet hall.
Nine magnificent crystal chandeliers hung from the domed ceiling. Long tables draped in white cloth were laden with delicious dishes, fine wine, and fruit.
Several Pet Beasts in work uniforms continuously brought food and drinks to the tables.
Guests who knew one another gathered in small groups, either seated around the sofas or standing by the tables, chatting and laughing as they enjoyed the food and wine.
Filis, the star of the occasion, wore a long red dress and exquisite jewelry. A faint smile rested on her face as she listened to the praise from those around her.
"Miss Filis developed the second page of her Pet Beast Codex at such a young age. There probably aren't many like her in the entire Third District."
"I heard the various Pet Beast Bases brought plenty of exceptionally gifted Pet Beasts for Miss Filis to choose from this time."
"Madam Mara truly treats Miss Filis well."
At that moment, a Pet Beast in a work uniform led three teenagers into the hall.
As the three entered, the guests in the inner hall fixed their gazes on the Pet Beast in the black-haired girl's arms.
"Isn't that Miss Yuna? Why is her friend carrying a Pet Beast inside?" someone beside Filis said.
Filis looked at the Pet Beast in the black-haired girl's arms and frowned.
Qiao Sang walked to the dining table, casually picked up a pastry, and handed it to Ya Bao.
"Yap!"
Ya Bao caught it with a paw, lowered its head, and happily started eating.
"Which one is your sister?" Qiao Sang asked.
"The one in the red dress." Yuna gestured toward the right-front area with her eyes.
Tang Yi asked, "Don't you need to go over?"
"No." Yuna smiled. "We don't get along."
