With Silly now promoted to a new tier, almost all of Gao Peng's familiars had reached Emperor-tier at the very least, except for Moneymaker.

"Gao Peng, are you going to punish me? If you are, I'm just going to run away right now," said Silly while trembling. It had decided that it would flee at the slightest hint of trouble. Quick-witted Silly would definitely run away, not giving Gao Peng and company any chance for retribution.

"Let's test out your new powers. Since you were only recently promoted, I figure you're still not used to them," said Gao Peng.

Silly sighed in relief. So that's what you called me here for...
