A minibus entered Serrest City.
On the gate, a soldier stopped the car to check it.
"Hello. How many people?" The soldier asked while checking the inside of the minibus. "May I see your identification?"
"Six. Our group's na is Libation Fiesta. This is our register." Jay showed them a tab.
"Mhmm…" The soldier checked their profile and matched their faces with the photos.
"Is there sothing wrong? I feel like entering a city is not supposed to be this complex." Jay asked in a lighthearted tone.
"It's nothing. We are just experiencing a bulk of visitors, so we have to increase our security slightly." The soldier shrugged. After checking everything, he gave the tab back. "You're good to go."
"Thank you." Jay nodded and started driving.
The soldier—no, even the other soldiers—didn't realize that there were actually eight people inside the minibus.
Aside from Clovis and the others, there were a pair of an elder and a woman sitting quietly in the back of the bus. Even though they were in plain sight, no one actually realized they were there.
Now that they had entered the city, Clovis couldn't help but ask, "So what are we going to do now, Sir Albert? Are we going to check the city first?"
"No. Let's go to the underground city right away. As planned, you guys should check in to the hotel in the underground city so that it doesn't look weird for you guys to stay for a while. Aileen and I will go ahead first."
"In that case, please wear these." lody handed them skyglasses. "I have tuned them. While I might not be able to fully assist you, you can easily send a ssage to us. Besides, the skyglasses allow us to track your movent as well."
"Oh! Such a reliable operator." Albert took the glasses with a smile. "Can you mark the map as well?"
"Yes. We do have a gold class map, and I'll put so marks according to your instructions."
"That's good then." Albert nodded before turning to Erwin. "Yo, boy. Look at this operator. She is more useful than you."
"What did you say? Even though you are my elder, it doesn't an that I'm just going to take a beating. My expertise is not in this area." Erwin pointed his finger arrogantly at Albert.
"You should respect your elder." Albert shrugged. "Besides, if you want to marry this girl, you need to try harder. She is going to visit the capital city and et a lot of talented and handso guys out there."
"Hmph! I'm stronger now. If we fight again, I can definitely beat Aileen." Erwin snorted.
"…" Aileen remained silent the whole ti, but her heart was beating rapidly. She was embarrassed to listen to these two discussing her.
"Is that so? Well, good luck. I personally don't care about the person she chooses. But you should know that an influential family's life is harsh. If you are not capable, you will be belittled a lot by people. Even if you two don't care about it, what about the close relatives, such as your parents or even your children later?" Albert smiled.
"You don't have to worry about it. Libation Fiesta will soon beco a household na. I… No, we will make it so big that your family feels lucky that Erwin chooses to marry Aileen." Clovis was the one to reply this ti.
This sounded like Clovis boasting about his potential. However, those who knew about Clovis' true identity considered it a declaration. Even without the Libation Fiesta, Erwin's connection to the grandson of a Tier 9 explorer alone was enviable.
Albert looked at Clovis' face before closing his eyes. "I see. I'll be looking forward to seeing it then."
"That's right. When I reach that place, don't worry, I will beat you and Aileen first!" Erwin harrumphed.
" aside, beating your own future spouse is considered dostic violence, no?"
"…" Erwin's eyebrows twitched. "I'm just saying that I will be strong enough to defeat both of you."
The conversation got so heated that they didn't realize they had reached the Explorer Association. Their minibus was already going to the elevator that would take them to the underground city.
"Anyway, we have arrived at the hotel, guys." Jay called them while pointing at the front window.
"Got it." Clovis nodded and hurriedly exited the car. The others followed, but no one noticed Albert and Aileen had co out of the car and gone to the city gate.
anwhile, Kanaria was the one handling the check-in, leaving the others near their vehicle.
Clovis asked, "Still, Sir Albert aside… Is Aileen going to be okay? Isn't it a bit too dangerous for her to go alone? I an, I know that she is Tier 4, but still…"
"I don't think you need to worry about it. Even if she can't kill the beasts, she will be able to escape. It's true that erasing her presence isn't that effective against beasts because their animal instincts are stronger compared to those of humans. But she isn't that weak. You should know that."
"Well…" Clovis nodded in understanding. However, his focus soon changed when he noticed soone ssaged him. There was only one person who would ssage him.
[Hana: I've transferred the money. Don't question where that money ca from. It was quite hard to send that amount of money without anyone noticing.]
Clovis smiled wryly. He patted Erwin's shoulder while saying, "I'm going to call soone first."
"Alright?" Erwin was a bit confused. He noticed the ssage but didn't bother to take a peek. He just watched Clovis as he entered the hotel, thinking that it was Kanaria who told him to co.
However, instead of going to the receptionist, Clovis walked to the toilet. He locked the door and made sure that no one was inside the toilet before he entered Another World Mall.
