"What are we going to do now? Everything doesn’t look like it’s going to work." Hana looked down. "Sorry, I can’t help you more than this."
"I can’t think of anything. Even though this is my battle, I’m the most useless here." Vina scratched the back of her head.
Kanaria crossed her arms before asking, "Christina. Why don’t you ask your grandfather to go on a rampage here? We will demand that they set up the eting if they don’t want such destruction."
"I can ask, but I don’t think my grandfather will agree. There’s a reason he’s called The Guardian. Although he is excellent in politics and other things, he has a line he doesn’t want to cross." Christina shook her head.
"We have to think of another way." lody sighed before looking at Aileen. "How about you? Do you have a succession battle like this?"
"Nope. I’m the sole successor in my family, so I don’t have any experience in this matter." Aileen shook her head.
"Maybe I should have gone instead of Jay. I could have read that guy’s expression to know whether there is sothing we can take advantage of or not," said Erwin. "Give your position... Jay?"
Normally, Jay would bicker with Erwin after hearing those words. But for so reason, Jay was silent the whole ti. Even the others expected Jay would start up sothing, and they had to stop them.
But when they turned to Jay, they found him glued to his Skyphone.
"Jay? What are you doing? Don’t tell . You have a girlfriend? As your childhood friend, shouldn’t you tell about it? What kind of woman managed to snatch your heart from the sword?" Kanaria asked.
"He doesn’t seem to be lovestruck from his expression." Erwin squinted his eyes.
"Who are you texting then?" lody took a sneak peek.
Before lody could read, Jay simply showed his ssage. When they saw the person he talked to, everyone beca perplexed. He was talking to soone who had been out of contact the whole ti.
Yes, he was talking to Clovis. Surprisingly, Clovis actually replied to him. No, more importantly, Clovis actually told them about the mission.
Succession Mission:
First Path - Head to the explorer association and tell the most beautiful receptionist, ’I have co in peace.’ The receptionist will be registering you for the mission arrangent. Complete that mission.
Condition:
No Tier 8 humans shall be involved or the party will be disqualified and lose their succession right. You can get a helper, but the maximum number of Tier 7 is 3 people. Your group can’t be more than 20 people. In the case that you fail the mission, you are allowed to retry it as many tis as you need to complete the mission. Any conflict that occurred during the succession battle needs to be resolved, but killing is not allowed.
They widened their eyes in shock.
Kanaria snatched the Skyphone and shouted, "How in the world are you able to contact him? Don’t tell you have been contacting him this whole ti?"
However, the contact only happened today. The only thing she could see from their chat ssages were reports about the group.
It turned out Jay had been reporting to Clovis the whole ti.
"To think that he has contacted you. Where is he right now? No, let call him!" Kanaria used Jay’s Skyphone to call him, but Clovis never picked up. It was as if he had known about her using Jay’s Skyphone and didn’t want to contact them. "What the..."
"Why is he not picking up? He just texted him a minute ago." Hana squinted her eyes. "This is suspicious. Don’t tell ... After one and a half years, he has finally moved on from us?"
"No way, right? Clovis is not that type of person. He’s probably avoiding you so that he doesn’t get sucked dry." Christina chuckled.
"So, it’s Hana’s fault." Lucifania nodded.
"Why are you guys bullying ?" Hana gasped.
"More importantly, why does he know about this mission? How is he even able to et the association president?" Kanaria waved her hand, reminding them of this mission.
"I don’t know." No one could provide that answer. They were in utter shock. Clovis wasn’t with Mara, so there was no way he could use Mara to threaten the association president.
In other words, Clovis had another way to figure out how to et the association president.
"But if he’s already in the city, shouldn’t he have returned to the group already?" Kanaria let out a long sigh.
"Well, it doesn’t look like he’s planning to co back right away. As much as I want to find him using all kinds of thods, I will respect his wish." Hana clicked her tongue.
"You guys are just too thirsty for whatever reason. Maybe that’s why he’s avoiding you." lody shook her head helplessly.
"..."
What they didn’t know was that Clovis was simply visiting a certain restaurant the whole ti.
"You have gotten the mission. Even though I’m working as your chef, shouldn’t you give a bonus to your employee, especially after a job like this?" Rin squinted her eyes.
Clovis looked surprised, but he smiled as if he had already prepared sothing.
"Right? I don’t know what you like, so I have picked up several. It’s not much, but please accept this." Clovis put the plastic bag on the table.
When Rin opened it, she could see three slices of cake. The first one looked like a cheesecake, while the others were a cupcake and the basic chocolate cake.
Rin was surprised. It wasn’t bad for a present, but this cake should be different from the weird ingredients he had brought for the past few days. So, wasn’t this too cheap for a reward?
"Well..." Rin looked a bit disappointed.
"If you don’t want it, then give it to your father." Dnanta grinned, suddenly intruding on their conversation.
"!!!" Rin widened her eyes, not expecting Dnanta to ask for them. Her father never asked for sothing ordinary, so she realized her judgnt might be too shallow. "This is my reward, so no."
"What? Where did my generous daughter from two days ago go?" Dnanta took a step back.
"I have a sweet tooth, so I monopolize the sweets at ho." Rin pouted and hurriedly took them away.
