Red meant combat contribution. Green meant social contribution. Later on, the green bars surged again.
That was because Joanna had created a new Summoner path-the contract beast style. It connected to the greater interstellar universe and changed the field.
The timeline reached yesterday. Her contribution score was still rising.
The system had been calculating for ten full minutes.
No one felt bored. Reporters typed so fast that their fingers blurred. News alerts were already going out.
The entire network exploded.
Joanna’s personal account gained billions of followers in minutes.
At the same time, every stock under Nightstar Group shot upward.
Market value climbed like a rocket.
Right then, inside the courtroom, the Chief Judicator spoke in a deep voice.
“Don. Sophie. Do you plead guilty p>
Don lowered his head. He stopped fighting.
“I plead guilty p>
Sophie looked at Joanna as if seeing her for the first time. Then, she gave a small smile.
“I plead guilty, Boss. Please take care of me from now on p>
“The sentence takes effect immediately p>
With the Judicator’s final announcement, the system enforced the ruling at once,
Don lost the stat bonuses granted by his Dark Gold-tier Summoner class. His level number did not drop, but his real power fell sharply. Even so, the strength he had built over decades still left him at about Level 50 or 60. That would help him survive prison.
Of course, someone like him would be watched hard to keep him from turning to the Evil Gods.

If he really joined up, then the next time he got caught, the system would strip every single ability it had given him.
As for Sophie, she would teach at the Academy and work for Nightstar Group to pay off her debts. She owed the school 30,000 Starcoins, and she also owed Joanna 20,000 Starcoins.
What began as a small attempted murder case had exploded into something massive. Don had crashed into a brick wall. In doing so, he exposed Joanna as a true hidden prodigy.
Now, her name spread across the Space Alliance.
Fame brought money. Nightstar’s products became the talk of the town. Every time products were listed, they were wiped out in seconds.
Fresh fruit. Peace Rice. Gone within minutes.
Fresh fruit was a luxury.
Who would pay hundreds or even thousands of Starcoins for a single piece?
It didn’t even fill you up.
But rice was different. It was a staple food. It eased hunger.
And long-term use raised your attributes.
For children, one extra stat point could mean more career options in the future.
And don’t even get started on the pro-brats and rich heirs.
These folks camped daily in the Peace Rice company’s livestream under Nightstar Group, sniping new drops.
Some people accused the company of fake scarcity.
The truth was simple-demand was too high.
Joanna even sent Alwyn to increase production.
Meanwhile, Blackveil City boomed. The Pact Tower town was filled with Summoners from across the galaxy.
Joanna’s courtroom victory was more than legal. It proved that the contract beast path had defeated the Meat Shield summoning path.
Her wealth surged.

Now the question was whether she could seize the moment.

Two months later, Nightstar Group had fully absorbed the wave of fame. The company thrived.
Because she had shorted Don’s company and bought its shares, Joanna became the largest shareholder.
The company was renamed TitanStar Group.
The contract beast path wasn’t for every Summoner. The Swarm style still had its place.
TitanStar’s market value exceeded 300 trillion credits.
Nightstar Group passed 100 trillion.
Market cap, however, was different from personal liquid assets.
Currently, Joanna had access to over 300 trillion Starcoins in liquid capital.
With money no longer an issue, she began spending rapidly to boost her own combat power.
To improve her current gear, she needed to transition to Epic-tier equipment.
A single weapon cost around 600 billion-to someone with 300 trillion, that was like spending six dollars out of three thousand. She didn’t blink.
However, once she started shopping, she realized that Epic-tier gear was incredibly rare on the auction block. Legendary-tier items were once-in-a-decade finds, and Mythic-tier items were nonexistent.
She had the money, but the market was empty.
Epic-tier gear was scarce by nature-you have to clear instances even tougher than Abyss-tier: Epic-tier dungeons.
Those dungeons weren’t just harder.
They’re longer-way longer.
Some took over half a year to clear, and she didn’t have that kind of time.
Fortunately, George heard she was looking for gear and made a call home.
“Joanna, I’ve secured a slot through my family. We can contact the Divine-Armor Group to custom-build a set of gear for you. They can have it ready before the Decennial Tournament of
