The group of girls thought nothing of it as one of them took out a gold card and handed it over to the manager. "Here you…. Ummm, why did you bring in so many guards?"
"Miss, your gold card can not pay this bill." The manager sorted. The bill was over one billion crowns. He knew Prince Greg wanted to punish these ladies good, so he multiplied the final bill by more than tens of thousands instead of the original thousand. Causing the bill price to be raised past one billion crowns.
"What do you an!? We only ordered a few hundred crowns worth of food!" The girl yelled out. She did not understand why her gold card could not pay for it. It had a five hundred million crown limit! There should be no way the card could not pay it.
"You need to look at the bill, Miss." The manager said, motioning with his chin towards the slip of paper on the table.
The girl looked at the manager, feeling confused. Normally she would never look at such things and just pay, so she never thought to look at the bill itself. But when she picked it up and saw the list of items and the special tax that was added, she almost fainted from anger. "What is the aning of this!? What is this special tax thing? Why are there so many bottles of wine? We didn't even order these dishes!"
"Miss, I highly suggest that you pay the bill otherwise..." The manager waved his hand, and the big burly guards stepped forward. "We will need to do things the hard way. Also, the special tax is a tax that is given to stupid people who offend the wrong person. Now, will you pay the bill?"
"You!" This was the last thing the girl said before she and her friends found themselves being tossed out of the restaurant without a stitch of clothing on.
"If you look, I will kill you." Jen said as she pinched Greg's side. Greg's wandering eyes quickly turned and looked at Jen. "I didn't see anything!"

Soul Fusion Online…
Ryu and Chi were currently standing outside a large estate. Up above the massive gate, a na plaque that read Vaughan was engraved into the tal. "Halt!"
A guard walked forward when he caught Ryu and Chi standing there. Ryu put on a smile and said in a friendly manner. "Hi, I am here to speak to Clara."
"Miss Clara? " The guard asked as he looked Ryu up and down. His cheeks grew hot, staring at Ryu's handso face. Once he realized what he was doing, he shook his head back and forth, trying to bring himself back to his senses. He felt this man was too handso and would lead his miss astray! "I am sorry our miss is not in at this ti. Please co back later."
"Ermmm.." Ryu and Chi both stared at the girl behind the guard and complicated expressions. Ryu scratched his nose and pointed to the girl as he said: "I think she is back."
The guard did not seem to understand what Ryu was getting at and shook his head: "No, no. My Miss is not back. How could she be back? She won't be back for a few years since she went on a long trip. Co back again in, I'd say about ten years, yes ten years." There was no way he was going to let this handso man near his miss! He already had a fox girl next to him. There was no way he would let his miss form this playboy's good looks! He would protect his miss with everything he had!
"How co I didn't know I was going on a ten year trip?" A girl's voice ca from behind the guard causing his whole body to stiffen. He turned around slowly to see his miss staring at him with questioning eyes.
The guard panicked and quickly ran up to his miss and yelled: "Miss, quickly run before this young man's devilish looks suck you in! He will only play with your heart!"
Ryu and Chi looked at each other before letting out a laugh. Ryu smiled and said: "Clara, your guards are quite interesting."
"Ryu, please do not tease . They are just overprotective of . You have no idea how much I was chewed out for running off to be a spy." Clara blushed as she complained.
"But didn't you tell you were a servant of the Vaughan family? How did you suddenly beco a miss?" Ryu asked.
"This… Well, I kind of overheard my father talking about the Qin family and found out about them trying to strengthen their family's mainline by taking in a husband for their daughter and having her conceive a baby. As I am the only daughter and heiress to the Vaughan family, I wanted to personally put a stop to it. I didn't tell you my identity before because I did not think you would show up here again." Clara explained as she walked past the dumbfounded guard.
The guard felt so embarrassed! He did not think his miss already knew the young man! Now he had just said all of those things and completely embarrassed himself in front of his miss's friends. He looked around, but there were no holes for him to climb into to hide. He could only lower his head and step to the side, and try to act invisible. His actions did not go unnoticed as Chi had been watching his antics the entire ti. She found it to be amusing. But she also felt that it was strange. She started to wonder if the person who wrote the A.I. for this ga was responsible for the A.I. guards they had just recently bought.
"I see... Well, I have co here to ask for a favor." Ryu decided to get right to the reason he was visiting.
"Co in. It is not good to talk out here." Clara said as she turned around and began walking back into the estate. She brought Ryu and Chi to a side room. "My guess is you need the protection of my family, correct?"
Ryu raised an eyebrow. It seed Clara was very good at figuring things out. "Yes, as you probably know, my wife and I made a huge scene at the front gates of the Qin family. Because they had soone in the nine souls forming realm, we couldn't kill Emma Qin. This now puts a huge target on our heads. But we can not leave Westfall City. We need to set up a guild house as well as figure out how to start a clan."
"Hmm…" Clara thought for a mont before saying: "Protecting you while you are in Westfall is easy enough but to form a clan, you will need to take down one of the bigger families. For example, the Qin family or my Vaughan family. Only then can you take their place and form your own clan."
"I see… I do not need to kill their entire clan, right?" Ryu asked. He did not want to go on a needless slaughter.
"You just need to make the family submit to you." Clara answered.
"I see. Then I will have to figure this out."Ryu said but a thought ca to mind. " I would like to ask you one more thing, Clara."
"Go ahead." Clara had an idea of what Ryu was going to ask.
"If I take over the Qin family, will you beco my enemy?" Ryu asked.
"No. My family has never wanted absolute dominance in Westfall. We are a family that likes to live quietly. It is that we won't let anyone with bad intentions beco the leader of this city." Clara and the Vaughan family did not want corrupted people who do as they please to rule the populace. The city would turn into a cesspool of corruption if this was to happen.
"That is good to hear. I promise you here and now that if I am able to take over the Qin family, you will never have to worry about such things as I do not seek to be a ruler of this city. " Ryu knew words were superficial and would not hold a grain of salt until he had shown the Vaughan family that he does not an any harm.
"I will have to see when the ti cos. As for protection, I will send one of my people with you, so those who are watching know that you are under my family's protection. No one will dare touch you, not even the Qin family. So go ahead and buy your guild house from the city lord." At this ti this was as much as Clara could do with her current power. As for everything else it would need to wait and see how things progressed. She didn't know Ryu all that much and did not know if one day he would succumb to the desire of power and want to take all of Westfall for himself.
