“Meow, meow, meow.”

Click.

Theo entered the auction house and took a seat at its very center. This was mainly because there weren’t many seats left, and the one he chose was the most lavish.

“Puhuhut. Comfy, meow~”

Theo comfortably settled into his seat, transforming his body into a loaf-like shape, and waited for the auction to begin.

At that moment,

“Who are you?”

A giant shadow loomed over Theo, asking in a commanding voice.

However,

“Move aside, meow! You’re blocking my view, meow!”

Theo, unfazed, expressed his annoyance at the creature blocking his view, a being with an impressive 5-meter tall eagle’s head. Having lived on the 99th floor of the tower, Theo was unimpressed by such size and grandeur.

He dealt with far more formidable beings every day, and of course, he wasn’t intimidated by a black minotaur or a dragon, especially when he was with Sejun’s lap.

“How dare you sit in my seat, and now you’re telling me to move?! You bastard!”

Enraged by Theo’s words, the eagle-headed being shouted.

“Hehe! I sat here first, so it’s my seat, meow!”

Theo refused to back down, retorting firmly.

“What did you say?!”

“Sir Jeto, what seems to be the problem?”

Hearing the commotion, Paeten rushed over.

Paeten had been eagerly waiting for such a disturbance after Theo blatantly sat in the seat reserved for the highest-ranking attendee. Especially since he knew that one of the top three figures, Sir Jeto, would be present.

‘If this cat angers Sir Jeto, I won’t have to face any disciplinary actions.’

He’d simply claim that he had tried to prevent such a troublemaker from causing trouble in the first place.

“Sir Jeto, I clearly told the elite wandering merchant, Theo Park, not to sit here. My apologies for not ensuring he heeded my advice.”

Pretending to apologize, Paeten informed Jeto that Theo was an elite wandering merchant, hinting that Jeto could rebuke him all he wanted.

“Please get down from there at once! That’s not your place, Mr. Theo Park!”

Paeten raised his voice at Theo, pretending to appease the situation.

However,

“Theo… Theo Park?!”

Upon hearing Paeten’s words, Jeto, instead of lashing out at Theo, looked startled. Jeto had heard of a cat merchant named Theo from Mason, the chairman of the Wandering Merchants Association, and was told to be cautious around him.

This being claimed to be the subordinate of the Great Black Dragon. The association’s secret inspection bureau had verified Theo’s claims with a 99.99% certainty through constant investigations.

Through cross-verification with the Black Wolf Tribe, the Silver Wolf Tribe, and the Black Orc Tribe, all of Theo’s words were confirmed to be true.

And after analyzing the helmets said to be gifted by the Great Black Dragon to the bosses of the 83rd, 77th, and 49th floors of the tower, were proven to be made from dragon bones.

But there was more to Theo’s identity.

He was also the elder brother of the Black Rabbit, the king of the Red Ribbon Kingdom on the 55th floor of the tower that would hold its founding ceremony in a month.

And he was also the object of unrequited love of the destructive wizard, Iona.

Every single identity aspect was nothing short of remarkable. The second misunderstanding occurred when seeing Iona following Theo around. However, Iona was currently engrossed in her research in the wizard tower.

“Sir… Sir Jeto?”

Paeten, sensing something off, cautiously addressed Jeto.

And then,

‘I’ve screwed up!’

Seeing the worried expression on Jeto’s face, Paeten realized he had backed the wrong horse. How could this seemingly ordinary cat merchant be more influential than Sir Jeto?!

“Ahem. I apologize. I didn’t recognize Mr. Theo Park and was inadvertently rude. To make amends, I’ll buy you one of the items from today’s auction.”
