Leon Batton nodded before heading into the fitting room to change into the midnight blue tuxedo.

Xyla Quest and Lynette Batton were sitting on the couch when he walked out. They seemed pleasantly surprised by his look and smiled in satisfaction.

"Woah! You look like a completely different person!" Lynette gasped out as her eyes widened.

"Looks like I've got good taste," Xyla declared proudly.

"Yes, Mommy. You do have good taste in clothes. I would have to learn from you," Lynette complimented her mother.

Xyla studied her son, thinking that he looked even more distinguished after changing into formal attire. He exuded a more grounded vibe, giving him an impressive presence compared to his usual school uniform. With money, clothes could change a person's entire appearance and impression.

"Don't bother trying the other outfits. We'll go with this one," Xyla said to the sales assistant with a thoughtful expression.
