Chapter 1058: Return
Clovis looked at Stefany, who had just come out of the car with the Dark Supreme.
"Yo, kid." The Dark Supreme smiled. "Thanks for waiting. We talked for a bit on the way here."
"It’s fine." Clovis nodded in understanding. The last one was actually a test from the Dark Supreme.
If Stefany had betrayed him earlier, the Dark Supreme would have killed her.
Clovis asked, "So, are we clear, Senior?"
"Indeed." The Dark Supreme nodded. He waved his hand and turned back. "Anyway, bring her back tomorrow."
Clovis smiled. Once the Dark Supreme had left, Clovis turned to Stefany. "How is it? You are now the only successor to the Dark Supreme."
Stefany took a deep breath. She didn’t know how to react. On the one hand, she was happy because her goal had been achieved. On the other hand, she knew much more than she ever thought.
The secret behind the Hacfield family, the secret behind the Dark Moon Mercenary, and even the relationship between them.
She just never thought she would find all of those so suddenly. It was clear that a big war was coming.
The Hacfield family would once again fight against the Prophet. They had won several skirmishes, but the Prophet would become even more careful.
The situation would become hopeless for the Hacfield family if they failed cultivating Clovis.
The Prophet would definitely do everything in his power to get Clovis.
That was why she knew that Clovis was at the eye of the storm.
Just like what happened in this battle, the Prophet would definitely pull one or two tricks every time, trying to get ahead of Clovis. The problem would be whether Clovis could adapt and regain his victory or not.
Stefany let out a long sigh. "All I wanted was to become the winner, but somehow my whole life just became crazier."
Clovis chuckled. "Welcome to my world."
Since they had won, it was only natural to celebrate. After talking with Rin, they decided Rin would be taking care of the food and they would celebrate it in the hotel.
While waiting, Clovis looked at the three sword masters and the two leaders of the R.A.I.D.
"Thank you for helping us this time."
"Not at all, we are originally supporting the Dark Moon Mercenary for a reason."
"Indeed."
The two organizations nodded to each other.
Clovis definitely wasn’t someone who was cheap with his allies. Still, he needed to be fair.
What they had done was not enough to justify giving them the paintings, not that he had promised them.
Nonetheless, a reward was necessary. That was why he prepared another reward.
He couldn’t exactly give them the clothing or the accessories. There was no telling whether these guys would turn back on him or not.
At that time, they could use this piece of information to negotiate with the Prophet. Clovis would be in danger if people knew about the true nature of Another World Mall.
This was the secret why the Libation Fiesta was much stronger compared to normal groups after all.
However, there were a few things that he could give to them.
Melody walked to them and brought a box to each of them.
"Please take this."
"This is..." They looked confused. Since it was a gift from Clovis, it should be quite special.
Clovis had given them two types of items. Since food and drugs were out of the options along with clothes and accessories, he gave them the best thing he had. The first one was books.
These books were martial arts from the bookstore. Obviously, they were different from the ones his father made.
These books were similar to his paintings, but they weren’t as convenient. Instead, it actually accelerated the rate at which someone comprehends the technique.
He hadn’t noticed it before, but this was indeed something that could be used as a gift.
"Those books are techniques that may interest you. However, they’re made using my unique ability. It may not give the same effect as the paintings, but people who read it will comprehend the techniques faster. More importantly, these books can be camouflaged, unlike the paintings."
They looked at each other. In a way, these books were indeed a good thing. They didn’t need to try hard to protect it.
Clovis added, "Also, some medicine."
It looked like liquid. Luci had inspected them, and she believed it would be fine to give them to these people. According to her, there were some unknown substances, which made it impossible to understand. However, most of it came from the beast essence.
If they tried to figure out the liquid and reverse engineer it, they would get stuck because of those unknown substances. In their eyes, they thought this was liquid Luci made. What they didn’t know was that this liquid came from another world.
That was why it was a perfect gift.
"The last one is a liquid that will aid your recovery. That’s all I can say." Clovis smiled.
"Thank you." They definitely wouldn’t use the recovery liquid easily. In fact, they wanted to learn about Clovis’ secret, if it were possible. Still, the books would be quite useful. They understood that their actions this time were not enough to receive a painting from him, not even the chance to buy it for him.
They regretted that they couldn’t buy it when they had a chance because it was simply too ridiculous, so they didn’t prepare enough money.
At the very least, they got something this time.
Since everything had been taken care of, the celebration started once Rin finished cooking.
Of course, as the main star, Stefany was the one leading the party. It was just a modest party, and no one went wild.
After all, the two organizations needed to leave as quickly as possible, while Stefany had to train under the Dark Supreme so that she could sit in his position.
Meanwhile, the Libation Fiesta had to return to Absalom, but Clovis had to visit another place before he could return to Absalom.
As Kayne said, he had a clue to the special towers. Clovis had to get that clue.
