"Okay, okay! I know! Ugh, this is such a drag!" Megan replied impatiently to her mother.
"I think you should take a step back when it comes to anything involving her love life, Mom. Whether or not the guy she likes is rich doesn't matter because we already have more than enough to spend for the rest of our lives. If he's poor, we can just let him stay with our family as a live-in son-in-law." Diane comforted Felicia.
"But… but I just want the best for her!" Felicia grumbled.
They soon went back into their respective cars, but unlike earlier, it was Severin and Diane's car that was at the front. After all, they were the ones who chose which hotel to stay, so the other cars merely followed behind them. However, Severin did not expect to be stopped by several of the city's guards when he reached the city entrance.
"Is something the matter?" Severin got out of the car and asked the guard.
The person who seemed to be in charge said with a smile, "My apologies, but anyone who wishes to enter Skystream City will have to make payment in the form of spiritual stones. It's not a big amount. Just three low-grade spiritual stones per person is enough."
Severin did not expect such a rule to exist. That was his first time encountering something like that. However, when he saw that the other visitor next to him had paid the spiritual stones before going in, he did not try to argue with the person and said directly, "There are eleven of us, so here's thirty-three spiritual stones!" He took them out and handed them to the guard.
"You may enter the city now. Remember not to exit the city for trivial reasons. Payment of spiritual stones isn't required when exiting the city, but you will have to pay up for each time you enter the city." The guard waited until Severin got into the car before reminding him.
