Kalarn stood up as there was another guest arriving at the Hatson family. He politely greeted the man. "Welcome to my humble family, General William."
"..." The general glanced left and right.
"Iâm not going to stall you here because I donât have to. They are not here. They are currently going to fight two Tier 8 beasts to challenge themselves. I have provided some support, so even if they fail, they can still retreat. Their safety will be guaranteed."
"You have been planning all this?" The general frowned.
"Of course."
"To think you would admit it so easily."
"Why not? I have done all the necessary procedures. There is also a written agreement between us." Kalarn took out a piece of paper. "Look at the date. It was signed one week ago."
The general fell silent. From the date alone, it showed that the visit this time was related to the Hatson family instead of the latter forcefully taking them away.
"You donât even bother to report this to the country? Do you know how sensitive Clovis Hacfieldâs identity is right now?"
"Of course I know. However, I donât have an obligation to inform the country about it. General William, let me give you a piece of advice. You may be scared of Michael Hacfield, but I am not. There is an even more terrifying existence within the Hacfield family."
"!!!" The general raised his eyebrows.
"Hoho..." Kalarn chuckled playfully. "You donât have to worry about anything else. The only thing you have to worry about is the Anatas family. I donât mind fighting them, but it will be troublesome for the country if that Iskandar Anatas ends up dying in this muddy water."
"Is that a threat, Kalarn?"
"What are you talking about? I donât dare threaten the military. Iâm just informing you that if I have to act in self-defense, I wonât hold back."
The general gritted his teeth, but he could feel Kalarn was not playing around. Although he didnât know how Kalarn was able to stop the two troublesome opponents, he knew that there would be a clash between the Anatas family and the Hatson family.
If that happened, the result might not be what they wanted to see.
No, William could see that Kalarn had informed them simply because he had wanted the government to prevent the battle. Even the Hatson family wouldnât escape unscathed if they ended up in a war between the two families.
And because he had blocked the other two influences, the government could focus on dealing with the Anatas family.
It would give them a higher chance if they could only focus on one target.
"Only the Anatas family?"
"Of course." Kalarn smiled. "To show my sincerity, let me give you something, General William."
Kalarn took out a piece of paper.
The general took the piece of paper, only to be shocked by what the paper contained. "You..."
"Letâs just treat this mission as a business expedition, shall we? The government doesnât touch people who are here for business, especially if the other party doesnât touch the government."
"..." The general clenched his fists. He didnât say anything, but they had come to a tacit agreement.
At the same time, a seed of doubt was planted. An existence scarier than Michael Hacfield? Although he didnât know what that meant, the general knew the Hacfield family might be deeper than what they could see.
It seemed that if they were touching him this time, the Hacfield family would also be moving. Rather than worrying about Clovis, they should focus on stopping the Anatas family.
A conflict might still happen, but a full-blown war couldnât happen. They had to prevent it.
Meanwhile, Clovis and the others were already on the way to the field.
"This is the Great Southern Forest. It is a forest with thick and tall trees, so every living being has a hard time moving around." Tianna was the one explaining the mission as they were taking the Libation Fiestaâs bus.
However, all of them could see her eyes kept glancing at Rea and Reolf. They didnât say anything because they understood her curiosity.
"This forest is located not far from Kararea, which has a tower. Hence, the influence of the tower still reaches this forest, but not as strongly.
"Hence, you should expect a power that can crush any Tier 7 but is not strong enough to be called a Tier 8.
"As for the beasts, we have two targets." Tianna continued with two pictures. The first one looked like an ape, while the second one was a tiger.
"These two are Panthera tigris trinilensis and Proconsul. The tiger is known for its ferocity and speed. It has sufficient speed to move almost unhindered through the forest. Codename: Green Tiger.
"As for the proconsul, it has a very large build, reaching over 7 meters tall. It can easily destroy a few trees with a punch. It is like a king kong, so we call it Red Kong.
"The one nearest to us will be the Red Kong. The second target, Green Tiger, should be located in this northeast area."
Tianna stopped at this point, showing that she didnât have any intention of voicing her opinion for this mission.
In other words, she wouldnât suggest anything and gave full control to Clovis, not only to examine Clovisâ ability but also to fulfill their part of the agreement.
"What do you think, Melody?" Clovis asked.
"Do you have a target in mind?"
"Not really. Both of them will be tough. Christina could handle the charge of the Green Tiger, while the Red Kong will be a target for Kanaria and Rin. You pick one."
"In that case, letâs go for the Red Kong. We can fight the Red Kong and exit the forest another way. Since Vina is here, we can ask her to cooperate with the bus so that we have no problem in going to that place."
"All right. Our target will be the Red Kong. Since the forest is quite dense, I guess Rea wonât be able to do much." Clovis turned around.
"Reee!" Rea protested, telling Clovis that he could fight just fine.
"Ahahaha. Alright, alright. Youâre the best." Clovis chuckled. "I will let you handle the details, Melody."
"Got it!"
