"As expected, you designed a good training. I like the results," said his sister in grat.i.tude. Lapis only laughed politely. Then she asked, indicating Zohiafa,

"Who is this kid?"

"His name is Zohaifa. He had a tough going. So I thought I would give him company."

"And how would that benefit us?"

"Come on. Don't be like that. Be a little more Cant. Where is your Cantinity?"

She then spoke to Zohaifa without a smile, "I am Lazuli. I've already heard your name. How do you wish to repay what my brother has done to you?"

"Lazuli!" scolded Lapis, "I helped him by my own wish. You need not interfere!"

"Fine then," said Lazuli with a sigh.

"Have you heard about the martial arts tournament that will be held at Yellow City this year?" Lazuli asked while taking a sip from the teacup. They are sitting in a living room among many in Lazuli's luxurious palace. Zohaifa and Marium are sitting together on a sofa just beside them. Both of them were talking to each other about where will Zohaifa go now. Zohaifa doesn't want to stay anymore after the humiliation, but he also wants to prove himself.

"No," answered Lapis but with a bit of curiosity

"Winning it will be of huge profit. I didn't know there was someone so rich and martial arts-loving in Yellow City that he would arrange a tournament with such a prize," continued Lazuli.

"And how much might it be?"

"The prize money is close to 15% of my total money. The news likely hasn't spread out of Yellow City. Thus we have a marvellous opportunity to win this."

"Won't it be harder for you to win if I take part there?"

"Yeah, but it doesn't bother me if you win the prize. We are members of the same family after all."

"You already know me very well and can bet your life on the fact that I will easily give the money to you if you want it."

Lazuli only smiled, implying that that's exactly what she will do.
