Return Of The Supreme Beast Tamer

The opulent Grand Mall, a shimmering beacon of commerce in the heart of Cordelia, loomed before them. Its polished chrome facade reflected the setting sun, a stark contrast to the worn cobblestone streets of the older districts. Katherine, Advika, and Leyla marched through the automated glass doors, their academy uniforms — crisp white shirts, tailored grey skirts, and dark green blazers emblazoned with the crest of the prestigious Vitality Academy — immediately drawing a flurry of intrigued glances. Christopher followed silently, his gaze moving all over the place.

’Wow... So big!!!’

Advika gawked, her eyes wide with unadulterated surprise at the sheer scale of the mall’s interior. A central atrium soared several stories high, bathed in natural light filtering through a massive skylight. Sleek escalators ferried shoppers between levels, and holographic advertisements for everything from exotic pets to advanced spell components shimmered in the air.

"Okay, girls," Katherine announced, turning to face them, her voice cutting through the soft hum of the mall, and getting the three attention.

"This is the plan. Advika, Leyla, you two hit any of the food shops—cooked and raw—take as much as you can. Don’t even think about the price, just take anything you set your eyes on. I’ll be heading to the clothes sections. And big brother," she nodded towards Christopher:

"You will go to the electronic sections, take anything you can find, tvs, radios, games anything at all. Do you all understand?"

’What the hell?! Is she planning on opening a small store??!!’

Advika’s eyes, still wide, darted between Leyla and Christopher, brimming with confusion.

’These two aren’t surprised, not even a bit... Is Katherine really opening a store? No, the Valhalla family isn’t a small family, they won’t need money, not with Christopher around. So why all these?’ she thought inwardly.

"I don’t know the sections in this mall," she admitted.
