Just by meeting House Kane first instead of House Fisher, Michael may have pissed off the elders of House Fisher. After what he witnessed in the auction, House Fisher didn't seem like a family that plays by the rules and accepts a fair defeat. It was kinda obvious that if he beat Alex in the upcoming tournament, he would get into the bad side of House Fisher.
"Think of this as a mutually beneficial relationship. Although I might not look like someone who could help the great House Kane, I think you elders know my potential" the elders were surprised to see him speak what's in their minds. If anyone else tried to become their friends by trading these herbs, the elders might not have accepted the deal but when it comes to Ghost, they immediately decided to accept the deal.
"Don't worry Master Ghost, House Kane always protects their friends and you are one of them" Elder Walter stood up, reaching out his hand for a handshake.
