SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

"Young Master Kt, please follow me." Fatty B replied with a wide grin.

Kt picked up his sky orb and hurriedly followed B, avoiding the sticky girls who were rubbing their bodies against him.

As Fatty B led the way, Kt followed him closely.

"What a glut... I want to punch his belly with my fists." One of the girls uttered while staring angrily at Fatty B.

"Leave it. That young master is way above our league." Li replied in a consoling tone.

Kt continued to ascd the third floor along with Fatty B.

"Young master Kt, you have purchased a lot of combat clothes; by any chance, are you participating in a competition?" B questioned with a curious face.

"Yeah… I\'m preparing for the annual secondary maze competition of the Sky Family Magus School." Kt replied without thinking much.

"Oh, th, what is your chance of winning the competition?" B asked again, with an interesting look.

"I don\'t know. This is my first time participating in the competition, and I don\'t have much information about my opponts." Kt replied honestly.

"Young Master Kt, do you really have any chance of winning this competition?" B stared at Kt, waiting for his reply.

Kt felt something wrong with B\'s questions. "Why are you asking me all these questions? You are not ev a member of Sky Family School." Kt questioned in a serious tone.

"Young master, please don\'t get offded. Along with my manager job, I had a side hustle. Do you ever hear the name Gold Rat?" Fatty B questioned with a proud smile.

Kt stopped in his tracks after hearing B\'s question. "Are you talking about the absurd fat guy who ops the betting counter at every competition in Silver Leaf City?"

"Hahaha… yes… yes, young master. I\'m that gold rat." Fatty B announced with a loud laugh, exposing the two front gold teeth like a house rat.

Kt stared at Fatty with a bewildered gaze. Ev though he never saw Gold Rat, he heard several stories about him in the school forum. Several kids wrote about Gold Rat, who always bets on the losing side.

"Wait, are you really a gold rat?" Kt asked with a doubtful gaze.

"You don\'t need to doubt me, young master. If you want, I can show you my pictures in the betting store." B replied assuringly.

"No need. Just answer one question. Why does Gold Rat always bet on the losing side?" Kt asked while staring at Fatty B with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Hahaha, that\'s my trade secret, young master. Throughout history, all rich fellows were people who took great risks in their lives. Bigger the risk… returns will be much bigger.

Also, people always flock to my betting store, as I will choose the losing side in any situation. All I need to do is win one battle, and it will cover all my losses. I call it, the \'Loading Gun\' theory." B explained with a proud face.

Kt was stupefied after hearing his reply. All forums describe Gold Rat as a brainless, rich kid. But in reality, he has a reasonable tactic to attract everyone to his store.

"So, if you are the popular Gold Rat, th how much have you earned till now through betting?" Kt asked curiously, as Gold Rat set up his store where ever competition happs in Silver Leaf Town.

"Minus 69 gold." B replied with a depressed face.

"What?!..." Kt cried out in surprise. "Didn\'t you speak so highly about your method? Th why did you lose your money instead of earning it? What did you call it? A loading gun! Right?"

Kt asked while controlling his laughter. Now he understands why Gold Rat is called a brainless rich kid in forums.

"Young master, I called it a loading gun because it is still loading." B replied with a sheepish smile. "But my gun will fire one day, and I will earn immse wealth." He added without losing his spirit.

Kt didn\'t speak after that. He is still trying to control his laughter after hearing the real truth behind the Gold Rat.

"Manager B, why are you standing outside? Come in." A lady in a black outfit with curly hair interrupted B who is boasting about earning big in the future as gold rat.

"Miss Anna, please take good care of our VVIP customer." Fatty B spoke while gesturing towards Kt.

Anna stared at Kt from top to bottom, analyzing his style and body type. "Please come in, young master. My name is Anna. I\'m the chief beautician of this Idol parlor." Anna introduced herself as she welcomed Kt to sit on the porcelain chair before the mirror.

"Please call me Kt."

After exchanging formalities, Kt sat before the mirror. Anna inquired about what type of makeover he needed.

"I just need a haircut." Kt replied in a modest tone.

"Mr. Kt, you seem to have never be to a parlor. Why don\'t you let me do a makeover for you and create a unique style of appearance? I promise, you will really like your new look." Anna said assuringly while staring at Kt\'s image in the opposite mirror.

"Sorry, Miss Anna. I don\'t like flashy and overboard styling. In fact, I ev despise people with heavy makeup." Kt tried to politely reject her offer.

"Mr. Kt, you misunderstood me. Let me show you a few dect, suitable styles for you. Every man should always maintain his charm by showing his style and elegance." Anna added as she tapped on the mirror after reciting a strange spell.

Instantly, Kt\'s image on the mirror changed with new looks. While explaining details, Anna swiped one image after another. After seeing a few samples, Kt felt the real meaning in her words.

After a long time, Kt chose a dect hairstyle with the help of Anna.

After measuring his features with a glowing thread in her hands, Anna began styling Kt. She didn\'t use any equipmt. Every time Anna snapped her fingers, changes happed to Kt\'s hairline.

B, who stood by the side, stared at Kt\'s image in the mirror without uttering a single word.

Anna took five more minutes to finish the final adjustmts. "Mr. Kt, how is it? Did you like your new look?" Anna asked with a curious smile.

"What could I say? You turned me into an aristocratic scholar. I\'m worried that my schoolmates can\'t recognize me in this look." Kt replied with a smile as he stood from the chair.

Anna felt happy after hearing his feedback. Kt transferred 0 gold to her account and left Idol Plaza after thanking her.

Fatty B followed Kt outside the plaza. "Mr. Kt, it\'s my pleasure doing business with you. We will soon meet again in the annual competition." Fatty B replied with a chuckle as he waved good-bye to Kt.

Kt hurriedly walked towards the property dealer store, as he was already late to sign his property documt with Stella.

"He is my magic bullet. I must earn big in the next competition by betting on him." Fatty B muttered in a determined tone.

(Fatty B has a long narrative in the future story. Please remember his character. TQ.)
