"By the way, do you want to join my group?" Clovis asked while carrying an unconscious person.
"You are asking it at a ti like this?" lody looked at Clovis in disbelief. She had never thought Clovis would still have the audacity to ask her in this situation.
However, there was a reason why Clovis chose this timing. lody had worked extrely hard today and because the electricity turned off after the explosion, it was pretty hot inside.
So lody's t-shirt was drenched in sweat.
And this was why Clovis took out the ring he had prepared. He had grabbed this ring from the mall's inventory before all this happened and hid it in his pocket.
The mont she saw the ring, lody's expression beca disgusted. "Are you kidding ? In this situation?"
There was only one instance where a man usually gave a ring to a woman. And lody was disgusted by the thought alone. It seed that she had judged Clovis wrongly.
"It seems that you misunderstand . If you join , I'm planning to give you this ring. This ring is special as it can only be created by my family. You will understand the effect once you wear it." Clovis sighed. "If you still want to misunderstand after that, feel free."
lody wanted to say a lot of things, but they were in no position to quarrel. So, lody thought she would do it if this was just a trick from Clovis.
When she grabbed it, she didn't notice any change. However, the ring had to be put on a finger, so she just chose her right index finger as a test.
In that instant, her opinions about Clovis changed.
"This is…" lody gasped. She could feel the chilling breeze that shrouded her entire body instead of blowing like a wind. It was as if she were in a room with the AC turned on.
And if she could feel this cool just by wearing a ring, it was a small price to pay. The ring would hinder her aim, but it could be solved by simply putting the ring on a different finger.
Because it was a ring, it was quite hard to fall off as well. If she could get this, it would definitely beco easier for her to actually beco a mobile operator.
The reason she was too lazy to beco one was because the sweat would drench her shirt. While she could choose a different material for her clothes so that when it was wet, it wouldn't really expose her curves, it was still uncomfortable.
The ring might not completely erase that problem, but it would cover most of them.
More importantly, she had never heard anything about this kind of ring ever existing. If there was indeed a magical ring like this, they would beco famous.
After all, there might be a different thing that had a special effect, which would be extrely advantageous for an explorer.
And this item was the reason for lody to co to a conclusion about Clovis's identity.
"I don't think there is anything like this in the world. And if there are special items, I have to first look at the top powers in this world. In other words, the Tier 9 Explorers.
"And it actually suits the fact that your family na has been removed from the official record. Only Tier 9 explorers have the ability to force the highest ranking of governnt officials to do that.
"Among the ten Tier 9 Explorers in the world, seven of them are pretty straightforward about their businesses. Only three are mysterious. They are Sevenson, Hacfield, and Li.
"The Sevenson hasn't done a lot of things in the past couple of years, the Li is too far from this place. On the other hand, the Hacfields has disappeared from the public eye. There are so rumors that they are destroyed, but…" lody looked at Clovis with a serious expression. "Your full na is Clovis Hacfield, is that right?"
Clovis looked at lody for a while before saying, "If I reply to that question, will you join my group?"
"…" lody fell silent for a mont before tossing back the ring.
"Is this a rejection?" Clovis asked again, wanting to confirm her intention.
lody let out a long sigh, saying, "I'm not sure myself. Maybe if you have so ti tomorrow, I want to bring you to a certain place. That's probably where I can decide whether I will join your group or not.
Clovis's expression turned solemn. "In that case, you can use this ring first. We still have a lot of work right now. You can return it to after we're done."
lody felt a bit embarrassed by how she needed to take the ring back, but since Clovis extended his hand as if shoving that ring to her, she hurriedly took it.
"Thank you." lody nodded. Now that she felt cool, it was ti to get serious.
Both of them had been moving around to rescue all the survivors they could find. They found twenty people in the span of five minutes.
lody had done so basic treatnt, but they needed to be brought to the hospital soon.
The search and rescue operation most likely wouldn't start unless they eliminated the threat, so both of them were waiting for the call.
"Clovis." lody raised her eyebrows, getting sothing from her transmitter. "We have to go."
Clovis took a deep breath before smiling at the survivors. "I'm sorry, but we have to go to defeat the bad guys right now. Please wait for a mont as the rescue squads will co soon. And don't go too far from this place or those bad guys will find you."
The survivors were grateful to Clovis, but they also didn't want him to leave. Unfortunately, Clovis could only ignore them and imdiately climbed to the third floor and headed to the hostages.
They had to move fast since the anti-terrorism squad was about to arrive.
