"It seems that my grandson has deemed your granddaughter to be worthy of an ally. I won’t say anything about it, but please don’t do anything reckless for the time being."
"Yes! I’ll lay low for now. I’m sorry for the inconvenience I’ve brought you," Hana hurriedly replied.
"The second thing is…" Michael paused for a moment. "I want you to give Clovis something. It’ll be an inconvenience if I’m the one sending the message, so send him this."
Michael gave a chip to them.
"I understand." Hana nodded furiously. She had Clovis’s contact, so it shouldn’t be a hard thing to do. Still, she might need her grandfather’s cooperation to secure the connection.
"In that case, there’s no need to talk about it anymore." Michael looked up as if he remembered something. "What was its name again? Resurrection Mercenary?"
"!!!" Michael widened his eyes in shock. "Sir… you…"
"While I’m at it, I’ll eradicate them for you." Michael shrugged. "Consider it a gift since you are my grandson’s ally."
"T-thank you very much!" Jeremy politely bowed to him.
’Resurrection? Isn’t that the mercenary group that has been attacking us recently?’ Hana didn’t expect that Michael would actually remove this group for them.
"Oh. I almost forgot this one…" Michael raised one finger. "I’m not going to dictate what you’re going to do to my grandson as long as it doesn’t lead to his death. Harm is inevitable in the pursuit of strength after all.
"However, I’m sure that he is doing one thing. He might be hiding his identity, but he is not going to hide his achievement. You won’t get anything if you hide your achievement after all. But I don’t want you to make it bigger than it is, unless he is the one asking you to spread it."
"Yes. We understand." Jeremy nodded furiously. "But are you sure it’s fine?"
"What? My grandson will surpass me sooner or later. If he can’t handle this low level problem, I will be disappointed. Don’t help him excessively just because he is my grandson. I believe that he can build a connection and influence surpassing what is mine with his own strength." Michael waved his hand. "So do you have any questions?"
Jeremy didn’t say anything, thinking that he shouldn’t question him any further since it might end up annoying him.
However, Hana looked at Michael with a determined expression. She looked like she wanted to ask something, but Michael had reprimanded her not to do another reckless thing for the time being.
Amused by her reaction, Michael said, "I’ll allow one question."
Hana’s expression brightened. She hurriedly asked, "Do you know a way to increase the evolution rate?"
Michael raised his eyebrows, not expecting this kind of question. Clovis was supposed to have a low evolution rate, but his determination would continue pushing him forward.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
Even he, who had been following Clovis’s news from afar, didn’t know the exact strength Clovis currently had.
This question was like an indication that Clovis’s progress was actually much more rapid than he originally expected.
After thinking for a while, Michael shook his head. "If it’s the data, I can simply change it with my connection. If it’s the actual evolution rate, I have no way to do it. All I know is that sometimes… he is excluding strength that no one has ever seen before."
After answering that question, Michael started walking away, leaving them alone in this room.
Hana looked like she had found the answer she was looking for.
"You…" Jeremy let out a long sigh while shaking his head.
"Ah!" Hana scratched the back of her head, knowing that she was the one causing this trouble.
"Whatever. It seems that the Hacfield family is not lacking a successor… Surpassing Michael Hacfield, huh? A Tier 9 quality… strength that no one has ever seen before?" Jeremy muttered before turning to Hana. "Whatever you do, just don’t annoy him. If possible, become his reliable ally."
"Yes, Grandfather." Hana nodded with a serious expression. It was an obvious thing to say, considering there were a lot of people who wanted to have a connection with a Tier 9 human but never got their attention. Hana pointed at the chip. "I’ll take a look at this first."
…
Clovis didn’t know anything that had been transpired so far. After all, he was busy inside Another World Mall.
Clovis looked at the robot before him. "Blue. Can you give me suggestions based on a complicated situation?"
[I will give you the best answer according to all the data you input.]
Clovis looked down for a moment, choosing his words. "Alright. Let’s test it out. First of all…"
Clovis gave all the information he had so that Blue could process it. It took a while for Clovis to finish explaining everything since he had to ensure that all the information had been taken into consideration.
"What do you think about it?"
[I am a robot that assists you in managing this mall. I’m unable to give you a definite answer regarding your problem, but I can give you a list of items you need to buy.]
Blue immediately gave him the list of items based on his information. Considering it was a robot, he thought the AI wouldn’t be that much different from what Melody had.
Hence, he had expected this kind of answer. Instead of getting fixated on his desired answer, he should understand why Blue gave him such a list.
Clovis took a look at the list and contemplated. "Is this the list for a worst-case scenario?"
[I apologize. If you want to prepare for the worst case scenario, this will be the list.]
The list changed slightly. There were a few accessories that piqued Clovis’s interest.
’Looking at these items, it seems that Blue has considered the Tier 4 beast as a threat. The problem would be whether they’re trying to kill my friends or not,’ Clovis thought before coming up with a plan.
He decided to buy several items, increase the membership’s level once, and even upgrade the item limit. He had to thank the mayor for giving him the money. Once he reached Tier 2, the mayor would give them more money. So, he could be a bit bold in his approach.
Clovis finished his purchase and hurried back since he didn’t want his friends to be suspicious.
To his surprise, when he came back, his Skyphone actually vibrated. He couldn’t help but glance at the caller’s name.
Hana Skylark.
