Inside the meeting room of Beast Castle, tension filled the air.
All the executives sat in a circle, heads down, and frowned deeply on their faces.
No one spoke at first.
One man finally broke the silence.
"I never expected the Vornis competition to be this successful," he said.
"We didn't stand a chance."
Another shook his head.
"Luxoria Castle is just too strong," he muttered.
"They have everything: beasts, money, power."
A woman sighed.
"And now they're even fusing beasts," she said.
"How can we compete with that? Titanvale? Elemental Knight Vornis?"
"We can't even get a stable Sovereign-tier beast half the time."
Someone else groaned. "Even the CEO gave up."
"He said it's impossible to beat Luxoria Castle. He's not even here to help us figure things out."
A man in a gray suit leaned forward.
"The CEO always said we could only play on the lower end of the market," he said.
"He was right. There's no way we can compete at the top."
