"So, you guys, how was the demonstration? Did you like the Beast mecha cards?" Since Anna took care of the granddaughter and grandfather duo, I asked them the question of the hour. 

"The Beast mecha cards were everything you promised, and the MegaMorpher was unbelievable." Anna enthusiastically praised the Beast mecha cards and the MegaMorpher. Her sparkling eyes told that she was genuinely impressed by the cards and their capability. 

"The cards were fantastic, and they performed exceptionally even beyond what I was expecting. Not to mention they are rune item cards. Now all that remains is the production details. How many of these cards can you make in a day?" Without exception, Luna also officially became a fan of the beast mecha cards. It would not be wrong to say that she has become a fan of mechas in general. 

Not only had she become a fan, but she planned to create a private army of card apprentices equipped with mecha cards powered by broken runes in general Rune Mecha Cards. 

"Good…" hearing Luna's question, I knew the big fish had bitten the bait. And I was enthusiastically going to reel in the fish by answering Luna's questions until she was satisfied but was interrupted by Lorenzo. 

"Wait before we go into details or make any promises. We should address the issue regarding the MegaMorpher." I guess I was wishful, thinking that Lorenzo would heed Anna's warning and stop causing trouble for me. 

"What about MegaMorpher?" Since Lorenzo is my client, I saw it as my duty to solve Lorenzo's problems regarding my products. 

"The same old, I reminded you earlier that there are flaws in your formation array used to combine the beast mecha to form MegaMorpher. Right? How are you going to fix it?" From Lorenzo's question, I knew for sure he asked the question to create difficulties for me. It seems he took my rejection of him becoming my mentor to heart. 

"That error in the formation array used to combine the beast mecha to form MegaMorpher is not because of me but because of the formation array cards I used. If you can provide me with better formation carry cards, I will use them to create the Mechas. That way, there will be no apparent flaws when they combine to form MegaMorpher." Lorenzo and everybody present here knew that I had very shallow knowledge of the formation array cards, and that is why I made use of ready-made formation array cards as ingredients to create the Mecha cards. Yet Lorenzo still chose to ask me about the flaws in the formation array cards I used. 

How am I supposed to answer the flaws of formation array cards created by another card creationist? I know this looks like pushing the blame, yes this guy is purposefully making trouble, and he is my client. So I politely answered that if he is willing to supply me with better formation array cards, I will use them as an ingredient to create the mecha cards.

"Grandpa, are you satisfied? Now can we move on to other details?" Luna was pissed seeing her grandfather act petty when she was about to talk business. 

"Yes, that's it for now. You can proceed with the production details and other stuff." Lorenzo did not want to piss off his granddaughter. She may look like a cuddly little doll, but when she gets angry, she turns into a raging beast out for blood. 

"Wyatt, since you have spoken already, we will supply you with all the card ingredients required for the mecha cards. And how…" having dealt with her grandfather Luna started taking business with me but was interrupted by me. 

"Wait. I meant that if you can supply the formation array cards since the ones in the market are not up to your taste. But the rest of the ingredients would still be procured by our card boutique." If Luna supplies all the card ingredients, then Susan would miss out on a considerable fortune that she could have amassed on the commission would be lost. Susan is my exclusive manager, meaning I am her source of income. I could not just let my client bring the ingredients. That would mean I would be running over Susan, which would not be professional. 

"Wyatt? You are kidding. Right? How is your card boutique going to procure such massive amounts of rare card ingredients when it could hardly gather enough ingredients for the three beast mecha cards." Luna looked at me with disbelief. But she did make valid points. It's not that I did not think of this problem. I did and decided to discuss it with Susan later. But impressed by the mecha cards, Luna enthusiastically wanted to please the order on the spot.

"About that… " I wanted to excuse myself and have a discussion with Susan to check what she thought about the dilemma. I know she cannot amass such a massive amount of the rare ingredients, but I want her to supply the other card ingredients that she can procure in Sky blossom city. But before I could do that, Susan herself stepped in.

"Wyatt, Emperor Luna is right. By the looks of it, her highness is planning to place a large order. I can not procure such a large amount of rare ingredients. And not to mention, I do not think that the rare ingredients I procure would be as good as the ones provided by Emperor Luna." Susan came clean that the assignment was way beyond her capabilities, and it would be better if Luna provided the ingredients. 

What Susan said did bump me out. Except for the last part. What does she mean by 'the rare ingredients I procure would be as good as the ones provided by Emperor Luna.' This part enraged me since I understood Susan blamed herself for the flaws in the formation array pointed out by Lorenzo.
