"We'll retreat from this country."
The people from Lutvia sheathed their weapons as though they had reached an agreent. So people from Absalom couldn't help but shout, "Where are you going?"
"We can't let them go!"
Sigurd raised his hand, stopping them. Even if they couldn't let them go, they had no other choice but to let them leave.
If they continued this fight, there was no telling whether Mara would support them or oppose them.
After all, Mara ca here to protect, not to wage war. Clovis also understood this aning and never said anything to the retreating enemy. After all, it might end up in a conflict with Mara's intention.
With the enemies leaving, Clovis and Mara turned to each other. Mara said, "That was my last burger."
"I will treat you to a burger that you have never had before," replied Clovis calmly. He paused for a mont before glancing at Sigurd.
Even though he didn't like this outco, it seed he had no other choice. Sigurd raised his hand and commanded, "Retreat."
Dan squinted his eyes, thinking, 'To think that there's a connection between him and Mara Leverstrike. This is going to be huge… for better or for worse…'
Radric ended up retreating together with them. His thought was similar to Dan's, considering Mara's identity. They never thought that there was another Tier 9 human in this country.
At the sa ti, it was Mara they were talking about. No one could really track her. Even if they predicted her movent, it was impossible.
"Well, I will take my leave here as well." Elder Fan smiled and walked away. Clovis was bigger than he originally thought. Before, Clovis would definitely be the best gamble for Vina to beco the leader.
However, with this kind of connection, there was no way Vina would lose this gamble. Although he didn't know the exact relationship Clovis had with her, it was clear they were pretty close.
He should bring this news to Vina, which would definitely surprise her.
Rena also returned with Sigurd for the ti being, but they would definitely report this to the president.
Clovis politely bowed while saying, "Thank you for helping us."
"I didn't help them. I helped you."
"I see. Even so, thank you for helping. I wouldn't be able to predict what would have happened without your interference."
Mara nodded.
"Miss Mara. It's an honor to et you. I'm Gerald Hacfield. I'm Clovis' father. I'd like to express my gratitude as well." Gerald ca forth.
Mara repeated her words. "I didn't help you."
"I understand." Gerald nodded.
Mara turned back to Clovis and said, "What do you think about the killing intent?"
"Can it be used that way?" Clovis asked. This small question just proved that Clovis received the sa ssage regarding their unique ability.
For Mara, this ant the voice she heard back then was true. For so reason, she had given her unique ability to Clovis.
However, there were still a lot of questions lingering around this matter. Whether she could find it or not, she could only try to help Clovis.
If Clovis sohow got stronger, there might be another system panel that appeared before them, and they could share the information to figure out the truth.
Mara said, "I have promised I will teach you how to control your unique ability once you reach Tier 5. However, I don't really want to return here without any reason.
"That's why it doesn't seem to be possible anymore." Mara's words were pretty clear. They had to train together even if it was ahead of schedule.
Clovis raised his eyebrows. While he didn't mind training under Mara, this was a bit too fast. There were things he had to do before finding her, such as helping lody's brother.
Mara put the glaive in front of her straight up before letting it go. This was the reason no one could predict Mara's movent.
The glaive fell to the ground, producing a crisp sound that shook everyone's heart. Mara pointed in the direction of the glaive and said, "I will be sowhere in this direction. You have seven days."
"I understand. Thank you very much." Clovis nodded. Although it wasn't going according to the plan, this was the best outco he could hope for.
Once they reached an agreent, Mara nodded back and grabbed her glaive before walking in that direction.
This ti, it didn't matter if there was a building in front of her or a wall. She either cut down the obstacle or simply leaped over it to show Clovis that what she ant in that direction ant a straight line. If Clovis still couldn't find her even after all that, it ant they were just not fated to train together.
Clovis smiled wryly. Once her figure disappeared on the horizon, Clovis couldn't help but turn to Gerald.
The awkwardness started to fill the atmosphere.
Gerald scratched the back of his head while saying, "Hi. It's been a long ti…"
Clovis clenched his fists. There were a lot of things he wanted to say, but this anger started to creep inside his heart.
Although they had done it to protect him, they really abandoned their child. He wondered if there was sothing they could have done differently or if it was simply the fate of the child of the Hacfield family.
In the end, Clovis loosened his hands and let out a long sigh. In the end, his teammates were here as well, so it was better for him not to lose his cool.
"Yes. It's been a while, Dad." Clovis nodded. "Is Mom here as well?"
"She is in this country, but she has to take care of another place. With these people retreating, she should be fine." Gerald glanced at Clovis' teammates. "You have been blessed with good people."
"Indeed. I don't plan to fight everything alone."
"I know. Because that's just how you are." Gerald paused for a mont. "You have a few things to take care of. It's better for to take my leave here. If you still wish to et us, we will be there tonight."
Clovis sighed before agreeing. There was simply too much to take on, so it was better to have everyone calm down first.
