When Jason could hear something again, he asked where they were, what happened to the fox cubs and the scaled wolf.
Gabriella reassured Jason that everything was fine with the lesser elemental foxes and that all of them were sold.
Previously, Jason thought that Mark would only be able to sell half of the fox cubs but apparently, the beast merchant had found quite a lot of customers. Several middle-school graduates were in a dire need of elemental beasts for their first contract, and the fox cubs had arrived at the perfect time, while the scaled wolf was the best of the lot.
Mark sold all of the fox cubs to this merchant because he had received an additional large tip due to the large number of fox cubs.
Jason hoped that the fox cubs were fine and had survived the beast tide but even if he could learn about their fate, there wasn't much he could do about it now, so he decided to change the subject.
