"Good work, everyone. We have finished the expedition." Clovis grinned while raising his glass, juice of course.
"Oh!" The others cheered.
"Did you learn a lot, Clovis?" Kanaria asked.
"Yep. I think I can understand what they're aiming for." Clovis nodded. "Normally, people are fighting with a large number of humans or with a small elite team of high quality. This is to ensure the safety of the people.
"More importantly, no death. One can get injured, but no death or retirent. That's what they're aiming for.
"If they can do this, they can kill a beast stronger than they are. Of course, using those weapons will just increase safety. After all, the beasts will die before they can kill anyone.
"If I take this into account, I can think of several ideas on how to approach a battle like that in the future.
"Well, Christina and I have no problems in taking down a Tier 6. It's hard, but doable. In that case, I'm planning to target one more Tier 6 beast and assign it to only four people. The remaining people will be dealing with the rest of the beasts for our next project."
After listening to Clovis' explanation, Jay couldn't help but ask, "Should I do it?"
"I'm not entirely sure." Clovis glanced at Aileen, who sneaked out of the hotel just to join them. "If there is a mission you're going to take that is related to Tier 6 beasts, I think it's fine to join."
"Oh! I think there is one." Aileen thought for a mont. "If I'm not wrong, there is a mission for us to kill a Tier 6 beast. We'll go in a small group and take care of that Tier 6 beast. It's just…"
Erwin crossed his arms with a grim expression. "After what happened, that idiot guy would definitely be reckless because he was hungry for achievents. That was why he even killed the Tier 6 beast that Clovis and Christina took down."
Clovis pinched the bridge of his nose.
"In that case, since we have split our group into two, should we just do what we had planned prior to our trip?" Jay rembered that split up. "Since it's a small group, it's better if we go."
"Ah!" Clovis nodded in agreent.
"Are you suggesting that Clovis will go behind the scenes while we four are fighting together with her?" Erwin asked, surprised that Jay would suggest such a thing. After all, it made him the leader.
Jay snorted. Even though he hated to admit it, he could at least give this much to Erwin.
Clovis agreed with them. "Sure. Let's do it that way. Make it look like you are joining casually and not expecting them. If the mission is a bit too hard, I will make my move.
"Since he has focused all his hatred on , he will definitely not go if I'm around. However, since there's no conflict with the second group, it shouldn't be that much of a problem as long as you don't pick a fight with him."
"Pick a fight, huh? Should I punch him in the face?" Erwin grinned.
"You should cut him. No. I will cut him." Jay had the sa grin. Both of them were pissed about how their captain got treated.
Clovis chuckled.
"But is this fine? His character is bad, and I'm afraid that the situation will be much more dangerous than you imagine." Aileen looked worried.
"Don't worry. While he will be reckless, he will be pretty much restrained."
"Restrained?" Aileen raised her eyebrows.
"Yep, restrained. Not by , though." Clovis smiled evilly.
…
As Clovis said, the mont he killed the Tier 6 beast, Gillian had beco a complete clown.
Tap!
Tap!
Tap!
A middle-aged man passed over the person who led the Tier 7 beast subjugation previously.
"What's this? Mr. Dee? What are you doing here?"
The leader, Dee, continued tapping the table for a few more seconds as his expression worsened as ti passed. "Hello, sir."
"Yeah. Hello. Is there anything bothering you?" The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows. "Is there a problem with the expedition? You have succeeded, right?"
"Yes. I have succeeded. There are no casualties, but one person has to retire due to injuries."
"I see. Isn't that fine? You are one of the best leaders in our company."
"It's just…" Dee gritted his teeth. "I don't know if I should say this or not…"
"You can just tell . Even if I can't do anything, I can still listen to you."
Dee hesitated for a mont before explaining everything that had happened during the expedition.
The middle-aged man was in utter shock when he heard a pair of Tier 3 guy and a Tier 5 girl manage to take down a Tier 6 beast.
He couldn't help but feel sour the mont he learned about the steal.
"Who is that jerk? I thought you would be inviting them here or at least forming a good relationship with them, but I could understand when you didn't ntion such a thing now."
Dee sighed. "The person I ntioned was the guy the Heshton family sent?"
"Heshton?" The middle-aged man frowned. "Ah. That family. They were pretty big in Axolonia. What the fuck?
"That incident could cause the failure of the expedition and nurous losses to our company. In addition, it also stopped us from at least forming a good relationship with this mysterious young master. Even if he wasn't a young master, his strength alone was extraordinary that anyone would definitely want.
"Yet not only did he almost cause the failure, but he also cut that chance…" The middle-aged man clenched his fists. "Unforgivable."
"I know, right? Then again, I'm nothing but a small captain. What can I even do against such a family?" Dee shrugged.
"Try to find that guy… Never mind. I will try to find him personally. Since it's the chairman's recomndation, I will directly ntion this to the chairman. The chairman only allows them to send this guy because he is known to be a powerful guy, but since they're trying to harm us, the chairman won't take this lightly."
