As soon as I entered the classroom and put down my backpack, I headed straight for the instructor’s office to request leave.

The instructor frowned, holding my leave note. Amanda, I know your foundation is solid, and you scored perfectly on the last werewolf mechanics test, but frequent absences are unacceptable. The inter-pack selection exams are next month, so you need to focus on your studies.”

I leaned forward slightly, smiling as I helped him stack the scattered exercise books neatly. “Instructor, this is really an urgent matter, just this once. I promise to attend all future classes without fail.”

He stared at me for a few seconds, sighed, and signed the note. “This is the last leave I’ll approve this semester. Any further absence will count as truancy.”

I breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded. “Thank you, Instructor. I’ll remember!”

This time I was prepared, with spare clothes in my backpack.

I found an empty public restroom, changed out of the academy uniform into a dark gray work jumpsuit, and put on a short ash brown wig with thin-framed glasses.

After checking myself in the mirror, I went out and hailed a taxi, giving the rough location Samson had provided.

At the street corner, a black Maybach stopped steadily in front of me,

The window rolled down, revealing Samson’s profile. His tone was crisp when he said, “Get in.”

I opened the door and slid in, full of questions. “Weren’t we going to the Raw Stone Market? Where are we headed?”

He started the car, eyes fixed on the road ahead. That place is full of low-quality stones aimed at beginners. I’m taking you to see an acquaintance who has exclusive channels for raw

stones.”

The car turned into a narrow alley, passing by the entrance of the Raw Stone Market-the roadside vendors had heaps of stones, with people crouching and hammering them. The noise could be heard even through the car window.

Five minutes later, the car stopped in front of a stone estate with no signboard, almost hidden. “Get out.” Samson pushed the door open and stepped out first. I unbuckled my seatbelt and followed. Looking around, only a few elderly people strolled leisurely. Not a single commercial sign in sight-the quietness was almost unnatural.

“Here?” I pointed at the oak door with a brass knocker.

He didn’t reply. Raising his hand, he knocked on the door-a sequence of three light, two heavy knocks, like some sort of code.

The door quickly opened. The butler, dressed in a tailcoat, bowed slightly, his tone respectful. “Mr. Ortega, welcome.”

“Is Mr. Julian here? I’d like to see the raw stones.” Samson stepped inside, and I hurried to follow.

The estate was far larger than it appeared from the outside. The entrance opened into a circular arcade, ivy climbing the pillars, cobblestones polished smooth underfoot.

At the end of the arcade, I finally heard voices ahead.

Stepping into the backyard, the bustle inside was a stark contrast to the quiet at the gate. Piles of raw stones formed small hills in the center, with seven or eight people picking through them. A burly man patted a stone and shouted, “Julian, I want this one! Is 500,000 enough?”

The middle-aged man in a bowler hat smiled and nodded. “Mr. Lawson, you are too generous! Once paid, I’ll arrange the top cutters immediately.”

After dismissing the man, he turned and saw us, his eyes lighting up. He hurried over. “Mr. Ortega, long time no see. And this is?”

“My friend, Ms. Cobbett.” Samson gestured toward me.

I extended my hand, lowering my voice deliberately, “Mr. Julian, good day.”
