"This is done. There are only 3 left. We might be able to finish this tomorrow." Melody yawned while handing the paper to Clovis.
"Is that so? Arenât you too fast? Itâs only been 8 days and you are almost done." Clovis smiled wryly.
"I just program it and let the program run a basic test for them. If thereâs nothing eye-catching, it will be done. If there are any special people, I check them manually. Thatâs all." Melody shrugged.
"Anything special for the training session?"
"There are some special individuals. If they perform brilliantly, they should be given the captain positions. This is the schedule for the training session."
Clovis checked the report. The training session was divided into three parts: basic scouting, hunting, and cleaning up.
"Aileen will be leading the first part, while you and I will handle the second part. Last but not least, Kanaria."
"Are you planning to head into the underground city as well?" Clovis asked.
Melody raised her head for a moment before nodding. "Yes. If they are fast enough, itâll be fine to split the team into two and head to the underground city."
"How about creating a small competition for the underground city? We will fight them. Faster means you win."
"That should be fine as well, but we have to ask their guardians to ensure their safety. After all, we canât afford for them to be too reckless. This will be a good time to drag them back down and remind them that reckless actions will just ruin them."
Clovis nodded. "I donât have any problems with this arrangement. As long as they can display their power, that will be enough. This is just to fulfill the agreement with the government after all."
"Still, we canât be too sloppy. If we are too sloppy, the government will be displeased. While it doesnât really matter what theyâre thinking, itâs good to establish a good reputation outside," added Melody.
She had seen through Clovisâ plan. Whenever there was a problem, Clovis tried to solve the situation in a way that would make him look good.
So, it was best to follow it, allowing the people to witness its greatness. This was Clovisâ plan in order to restore the name of the Hacfield family.
"Yeah. Thank you."
"No need to say thanks. This is my job." Melody shook her head. "Besides... This sofa is truly relaxing. To think there is a sofa like this. The mall is like a treasure box."
"As long as you like it. I think I have changed about 60% of the mansionâs interior with the ones found in the mall. Although the aesthetic is quite questionable, the effect is far too good."
Melody looked at the room. There was a red sofa in the middle of a green room. There was even a black couch in the corner.
It was not too pleasing to the eye with all these colors, but when they sat down, the thought disappeared.
Then again, if there were only one or two, it could be seen as a standalone, but it was better to be used together so that everyone could use them together.
Suddenly, Erwin opened the door while shouting, "Clovis. You got a visitor."
Clovis and Melody turned around, finding Vina waiting on the outside.
"Oh?!" Clovis knew that Vina had been working closely with his grandmother. Although he didnât know the true extent of their partnership, it wasnât weird for Silvia to treat her this way.
After all, even her boss was once a subordinate of his grandfather. As long as there was no mistreatment, there was no need to say anything.
"Come in." Clovis waved his hand down.
"Then, Iâll leave you guys here." Erwin immediately closed the door.
Vinaâs smile was a bit weird, as if she were in some sort of trouble.
"There is something Iâd like to ask if you donât mind."
"Whatâs wrong? Is there a problem?" Clovis asked.
"Well..." Vina looked around and pointed at the couch. "Did you guys have a renovation or something recently? Who designed the interiors?"
"Ah, that. It was me." Clovis pointed at the seat. "Just sit down and you will understand."
"Hmm?" Vina tilted her head in confusion. She tried the couch and noticed something.
Her mind gradually refreshed, making all the earlier complaints gone.
"What is this?" Vina looked at Clovis.
Clovis only smiled at her, not giving her a direct answer. Vina didnât know about his mall, so her reaction was understandable.
Realizing that she wouldnât get the answer, Vina couldnât help but think, âSo, it seems that Clovis has another trump card that even I donât know about. If I donât know about it, the rest of the world shouldnât know about it yet.
âSeeing how relaxed the people from the Libation Fiesta are... It looks like they already know about it.
âIs this the secret that has been pushing the Libation Fiesta forward? I donât know the extent of his power, but the fact that he only showed this recently means there must be others but on a smaller scale.â
Vina realized that Clovis was much more mysterious than she had originally thought. At first, she thought the Libation Fiesta was absurd, but it looked like Clovis was the one carrying the whole group.
Clovis broke his silence. "So, why are you here? Is it because of my great-grandmother?"
"Ah!" Vina shook her thoughts off. "Yes. Iâve brought you a message from Madam Silvia regarding your previous achievement.
"Madam Silvia is proud of you for being able to defeat the mutated beast in addition to Iskandar Anatas.
"As promised, she will give you the next direction." Vina paused for a moment. "There will be someone going to harm you during the alliance event that will start in a few months.
"Your task is to defeat 7 Tier 8 beasts during the duration of the event as well as the hidden enemies. As long as you are able to do it, she will give you the information you want.
"It is the weakest, so you should be able to explore it right away and survive as long as you are careful."
"!!!"
