Lucius looked at others and smirked.
"Now, everyone knows that Beast Castle isn't the dominant force anymore."
Luna, still laughing, wiped a tear from her eye.
"Of course, it is. I can't help but to laugh, rembering the chaos."
Liora crossed her arms, grinning.
"Don't forget, they now know that Luxoria Castle is watching them."
Loreia leaned back, smirking.
"And more importantly, they know they can't do a damn thing about it."
Lucius laughed, turning toward his team.
"Exactly."
He walked forward, stepping into the center of the room.
"Beast Castle's pride has been shattered."
He tilted his head slightly.
"They'll retaliate. They have to."
Liora cracked her knuckles.
"Let them try."
Luna stretched lazily, yawning.
"Yeah, yeah. We can crush them later. But for now... let's just enjoy the chaos."
Loreia chuckled, glancing at her phone.
"Speaking of chaos... the Beast Castle forums are losing their minds right now."
Lucius sat down in his lavish chair, resting his chin on his hand.
"Good."
He smirked, his eyes gleaming with amusent.
"Let's see how much damage we've done."

The chaos in the auction hall was slowly settling, but Varen's anger only grew stronger.
The supposed bomb still sat in the center of the hall, pulsing ominously.
But nothing had happened yet.
Varen turned toward an experienced beast tar who had coincidentally been present during the auction.
The tar was a veteran, a man known for his mastery over energy-based beasts.
"Sir! Can you stop the bomb?!"
The tar turned to him, his face calm.
Then—he simply shook his head.
Varen's expression darkened further.
"What do you an? This place is the main hall of Beast Castle!"
His voice rose in frustration.
"I cannot let it be destroyed! If it's money you need, I'll pay you—just stop it!"
The tar sighed, turning to face him fully.
He was calm, but a bit irritated.
"I'm not shaking my head because I'm not capable."
He folded his arms, his eyes flickering with mild annoyance.
"I'm shaking my head because…"
He gestured toward the so-called 'bomb'.
"That's not a bomb."
The entire audience who had just barely returned to the hall froze.
"What?"
The tar scoffed.
"It's just a crystal that pulses brightly."
Varen's entire body stiffened.
For a brief second, he couldn't process what he just heard.
Then—his rage exploded.
"DAMN YOU, LORD L! HOW DARE YOU PLAY US LIKE THIS?!"
His furious roar echoed through the hall, shaking the walls.
The audience, who had just barely returned, all turned toward the crystal.
They were in disbelief.
"What the hell…?! The crystal is a fake bomb?!"
"We ran for NOTHING?!"
"That bastard tricked the entire auction hall!"
So people were furious—but others…
They were laughing.
One of the wealthier tars leaned against a column, shaking his head with a grin.
"Damn. This Lord L guy is ruthless."
A younger noble, who had fled the hall in terror, groaned.
"I panicked for nothing. What kind of insane person fakes a bomb just to humiliate his rival?"
The whispers didn't stop.
And soon, Beastagram exploded with posts.

"The real highlight of the auction wasn't Titanhoof. It was watching Varen's face turn purple from rage. #BeastCastleEmbarrassnt"
@BeastAuctionFanatic
"Luxoria Castle's next auction is in two days. That's all I care about now. Beast Castle is finished."

Back in the auction hall, Varen was in rage as he read the comnts flooding social dia.
His reputation…
His auction…
His dignity…
All of it was ruined.
One of his guards reluctantly spoke.
"S-Sir… what should we do now?"
Varen's face twisted, his eyes burning with pure hatred.
"We make Luxoria Castle PAY."
The war between Beast Castle and Luxoria Castle had officially escalated.

Back in Luxoria Castle, the room was filled with laughters.
Luna, Liora, and Loreia were lounging around, scrolling through Beastagram.
They were reading the endless stream of mocking comnts directed at Beast Castle.
Luna leaned forward, grinning as she turned toward Lucius.
"Master, why didn't you just use a real bomb instead?"
Lucius, who was sipping tea, paused.
He then gave her a flat look.
"Luna, don't be stupid."
Luna snickered, raising her hands playfully.
"I an, I'm just saying—it would've been way funnier if sothing actually exploded."
Lucius sighed, shaking his head.
"They were all future custors."
He smirked, setting down his cup.
"I can't kill them, can I?"
Liora grinned, leaning against the couch.
"So that was just a little prank, huh?"
Lucius grinned back.
"Of course."
He leaned back, his eyes glowing with satisfaction.
"But because of that 'small prank'—Beast Castle was truly embarrassed."
Loreia chuckled, tossing her phone on the table.
"Embarrassed? More like publicly humiliated. That forum is still roasting them."
Luna laughed, kicking her feet up.
"I don't even know what's funnier—Varen's reaction, or the fact that they actually believed it was real."
Liora smirked, cracking her knuckles.
"I was hoping one of them would pass out from fear. That would've made it even better."
Lucius smirked, tapping his fingers against the armrest.
"What's important is that now… they know who they're dealing with."
He tilted his head slightly, his smirk deepening.
"And this was just the beginning."
Luna stretched lazily, yawning.
"Yeah, yeah. But seriously, Master… next ti, can we actually blow sothing up? Just a little?"
Lucius chuckled.
"If they push far enough, sure."
Liora grinned.
"Then let's make sure they do."
The war between Luxoria Castle and Beast Castle had only just begun.
And Lucius?
He was having the ti of his life.
Loreia's phone then buzzed, drawing her attention.
She glanced at the screen, then smirked.
"Looks like Beast Castle just posted sothing new."
Lucius grinned, resting his chin on his hand.
"Oh? Let's read it, shall we?"
The ga wasn't over yet.
