"Hahahaha!" Kanaria laughed out loud while listening to Clovis's story. Originally, she was panicking when Clovis called her, thinking that he wouldn't be back soon.
However, the next thing he said, she realized that Clovis was being stopped at the gate for a dumb reason.
She simply couldn't comprehend how he even got into that situation. All the tears were simply swept away by this funny news.
Clovis rolled his eyes as he ended up having the car towed. Then again, this was much better than crying.
"I'm sorry for making you worry." Clovis sighed. "I had to hide myself in a tight space and not make any sound. I needed to even sar my body with their blood."
Kanaria smiled wryly. She thought she had lost him forever. "As long as you're back, it's all good."
"I guess everything can wait for tomorrow. I'm going to take a bath and a good night's sleep first before doing anything." Clovis thought that even if he did it today, it wasn't like he could visit the mall. The visit hadn't reset after all.
"Yup."
Since he returned with their car, all the luggage inside the car could be brought back, so they wouldn't need to pay more to restock their equipnt.
During the dinner, Kanaria reported everything regarding the group. Clovis had no qualms about Jay's treatnt, and this much money could be used for a lot of things.
Still, he was a bit surprised by what happened to Nek and Ivan. Nek's fate might have been sealed the mont he tried to harm him directly. But it seed that he had underestimated his grandfather's influence.
If Ivan, who was the mastermind behind it, faced this type of consequence, it ant that the condition placed on him by his grandfather was much more severe.
Clovis couldn't help but say, "If this is the situation, I think my grandfather has forced them to do it. There might even be so accidents… Can you find it?"
"Mhmm?" Kanaria tilted her head in confusion, but she still searched for all kinds of big news.
And there was actually one that looked a bit terrifying.
"Take a look at this." Kanaria showed the news.
'A sinkhole appeared after a small earthquake. Experts said it's not artificial.'
Clovis furrowed his eyebrows. "Interesting. I'm not sure if it's related, but I can't rule out the possibility. Still, if my grandfather really makes a move, then I believe people are going to know about sooner or later."
"Now that I think about it, your identity is rather secretive. People know that he has a grandson, but there aren't really many photos of you. You should rember that I didn't recognize you when we first t, despite my admiration for Hacfield."
"Well, I didn't go out a lot and it wasn't like they took a picture of that often." Clovis nodded. "Either way, it would be gradually traced back here. It won't be right away, but it's going to be soon."
"I guess we only have one choice."
"Yes. Reach Tier 2 before that happens. If possible, Tier 3. I want at least to have the battle power of a Tier 4 human." Clovis thought for a mont. After seeing the strength that the commander and the Tier 4 beasts showed, he realized the gap was much wider than he originally thought. So, even when he reached Tier 2, he might not be able to fight against a Tier 4 beast.
Kanaria raised a finger. "We also have one problem."
"What is it?" Clovis didn't think there was a problem he didn't recognize, but that was because of his character.
"We currently don't have a goal. I an the short-term goal. For example, last month, we were aiming for a raid. What about now? We do still need to get stronger, but we don't have a target. While it's true that we should aim for the best, it's better to have a goal so that the training will be much more effective."
"Ah!" Clovis agreed with her. Even his grandfather told him to have short-term goals from ti to ti, and his progress has been smooth because of them. The goal had to be realistic, but not too easy either. "Do you have an idea?"
"Nope." Kanaria shook her head helplessly. She thought about asking her mother, but she didn't want to be overly reliant on her. So, it was better for the group to find their new goal.
Clovis thought for a mont and asked, "Is there a raid or sothing? It doesn't need to be a raid. Things like competition can be used as a goal too."
"Let search." Kanaria hurriedly searched it on the Skynet, only to find nothing. "Nope. There isn't anything right now. No raid, no tournant, whatsoever."
"I see. This is concerning." Clovis sighed. "Anyway, it will still take a while before Jay's injury recovers, so maybe there will be one in a few days."
"Alright." Kanaria nodded. "One more thing. Because of this incident, Ivan's approach might be more direct as he won't care about anything other than your death."
"I'm not worried about that. What I'm worried about is actually you, Jay, and lody. What if they aim for the three of you instead of ?"
"That's true." Kanaria fell into deep thought.
"Anyway, we can worry about it later. I'm sure that you're tired too, so let's continue the discussion tomorrow." Clovis looked at Kanaria's face. Although her complexion had gotten better, she still looked tired since she didn't have a good sleep yesterday and had to do all the work today.
Of course, he was also excited for the new store in Another World Mall, which he could unlock tomorrow after getting all the money. He would have to find a chance to actually enter Another World Mall.
However, he couldn't deny the fact that tomorrow would be an exciting day. He wondered what kind of store would open this ti, considering the reward was slightly different this ti.
