"Well, it's ti to go. Is everyone ready? We might not be able to go back for a while," Clovis asked with a big smile on his face.
The rest of the group seed to be pumped up.
"Have you prepared everything?" Hana looked around.
"Yeah. Thank you for the help." Clovis nodded.
"It's not a big deal. I will send soone once a week to take care of a simple matter, such as exchanging the essence for you. If you need anything, you can purchase it here, and that person will deliver all the materials every week.
"After all, you need bullets and other materials to maintain your equipnt. How about the energy?" Hana asked.
Clovis pointed at a small truck behind the bus. "We have stuffed everything in that truck. Generators, solar panels, and other things have been stored there."
"All right." Hana smiled. "Have a safe trip."
"Yeah." Clovis smiled.
When he was about to tell his people to enter their bus, they suddenly heard Reolf barking.
"Waaf! Waaf!"
"!!!" Clovis raised his eyebrows and hurriedly turned around. The others couldn't help but raise their weapons.
This was a signal from Reolf. Clovis had told him to bark once if he noticed soone familiar, twice if this was a person he had never seen before, and thrice if that person carried killing intent.
The mont he barked twice, Clovis and the others hurriedly raised their guards.
"Oh my. I guess I can't give you any surprise."
"Who?" Christina and a few mbers who were new to the group couldn't recognize her.
However, those who had been with Clovis for a long ti couldn't help but furrow their eyebrows.
Jay stood in front of Clovis, looking at the female as well as the robe-covered person behind her.
"What are you trying to do here, Vina?" Jay asked coldly.
"Vina?" The people were confused, including Hana.
"This country is truly strict. I almost couldn't enter this place." Vina smiled wryly.
Jay's expression beca colder, thinking that Vina had trespassed because she wanted to do sothing bad.
As if noticing that the conversation had gone in a bad direction, she hurriedly explained, "Please lower your weapons. I don't wish to fight here. I'm just trying… to negotiate."
"Negotiate? How bold. Are you trying to poach Clovis?" Hana stepped forth. "Especially by bringing that person? What are you planning to do with that Tier 7 human?"
"Of course not. I'm not here to poach Clovis. I just sll an opportunity. Well, I can only reach here because of a certain help." Vina took out a small letter while saying, "In exchange, I would like to deliver this letter on behalf of Miss Cleopatra."
"…" All of them were baffled. Only Kanaria and Jay reacted to that na. Clovis twitched his eyebrows and dropped his weapon.
"Huh?"
"What's going on?"
"Miss Cleopatra?"
"Do you know her?"
"Jay? Kanaria?"
Christina and the others were confused. They wanted to know who this person was.
"What do you want? Why do you have a letter from my mother?" Clovis asked while having a hard ti regaining his composure.
"M-Mother?" They dropped their jaws while looking at Clovis.
"I won't take much of your ti." Vina smiled. "Would you be willing to hear out? It's fine if we say it here."
Clovis closed his eyes for a mont, falling into deep thought. "Fine."
"I co here as a part of Dark Moon rcenary as well as the future heir of the Dark Erald Group." Vina smiled. "It appears you have received a tower from this country. Hence, I would like to cooperate with you. Please allow us to set up a branch in your city."
"Dark Moon rcenary, Dark Erald Group?!" Hana gasped.
"Do you know them?" Luci asked, clueless about this organization.
"Dark Moon rcenary is quite famous in the north. However, that's just the surface. Those who are able to see things in the shadow will understand why Dark Moon rcenary is infamous.
"The Dark Moon rcenary has three branches: the one that is considered one of the top groups in terms of information network, the Dark Erald Group, the organization that is said to eliminate people depending on the commission, the Red Ruby Group, and lastly, the group that stays on the surface, capable of dealing with the most difficult missions, the Blue Diamond Group.
"And she claid herself to be the heir of the Dark Erald Group? This is even more ridiculous. The leader of the Dark Moon rcenary is always determined by their contribution to the rcenary group. In other words, if she claims to be the heir of one of those groups, she has the right to claim the power of the Dark Moon rcenary."
After hearing her explanation, this Dark Moon rcenary had just beco more terrifying.
On the other hand, Vina politely greeted them. "It's a pleasure to et you, everyone. My na is Vina. I apologize for not being able to give you my family na. My grandmaster is the current leader of the Dark Erald Group."
They looked shocked, but they were a bit concerned about what Vina actually wanted.
"Are you trying to beco the leader of the Dark Moon rcenary?" Clovis asked with a grim expression.
"!!!" So of them instantly understood Vina's plan.
"As expected, I can't really hide anything from you." Vina smiled. "Yes. The Dark Moon rcenary recycles their leader's seat every ten years. It has been five years since the last change.
"On behalf of my master, I would like to set up a base in your city."
"Although I don't really want to boast, the fact that you're able to get information directly from is definitely sothing that's worth a lot. So, you're planning to use that information to get that seat?"
Vina remained smiling without answering his question.
Clovis knew from that reaction that he was understanding it correctly, but he was missing sothing. And that sothing was the letter she brought.
What she wanted was the cooperation of the Hacfield family. With that cooperation, it wouldn't be hard to seize the seat.
Clovis glanced at the letter in her hand. "Let see that letter first."
