"What is this?" Cain sucked a cold breath. The others gasped while covering their mouths.

Liza frowned. She examined the mysterious thing that emerged from Hana’s hand. It was long and robust like a sickle. "Isn’t that… a mantis’ front leg? No. That’s Santanmantis Axelrodi’s front leg.
The oldest mantis that has been discovered."
Hana retracted the scythe casually and said, "This is the project all about. A new application of beast souls."
"!!!"
Liza said, "A new application of beast souls? If it’s what we’re talking about, doesn’t this mean a human can grow a part of a beast?"
"Depending on the type of beast soul, yes." Hana nodded with a serious expression. "If you have the beast soul related to wings, you can even summon a wing and fly in the air."
Liza’s expression turned solemn. "Young miss. Isn’t this project too bizarre? If what you say is true, the beast souls will find its new meaning. Currently, the beast souls are just a boosting type of ability that can raise one’s physical ability.
"However, if we can actually get the beast’s body, it also means that we can get hard scales, which will bolster our defense, or the wings that allow us to fly. It’ll become a new way of fighting."
Hana nodded. "We have been working on this project for a few months and conducted several tests. I have even made sure that all the bad claims will be resolved."
Clovis interjected. "Can a human be called a human anymore after integrating with the beast?"
"Yep." Hana shrugged. "We have tested it and it’s actually simple to remove the beast soul because, thanks to this new application, that beast soul is concentrated into a part of their body instead of the entire body like the usual beast soul.
"It’s actually removable, which will also allow you to actually change the beast soul to a better one once you get stronger.
"And even if you don’t remove it, your children won’t be affected by the beast soul since this new application doesn’t alter your genetics like radiation. It’s contained completely.
"I have no way to fix the appearance though. There will definitely be some beast souls that make you uglier, so…" Hana rolled her eyes.
"Haha." Clovis chuckled.
"Why are you laughing? The first thing you are going to do will be promote this thing. I have prepared something so that people will know about this new application and get the business going." Hana sighed.
"I know, I know. Tell me about it later."
Hana turned to Cain and the others. "That’s why this is just voluntary. If you want to get stronger by using this new type, I’ll welcome you. If you don’t, I won’t say anything. However, all I can say is that this new application will definitely take the world by storm… it can be said this is the future."
Cain smiled wryly. "I can’t really lose my handsomeness. Other than my face, I don’t think I’d mind if it can make me grow stronger."
Hana nodded. "Anyway, just escort Melody’s younger brother for tonight and don’t disclose this secret. Tomorrow morning, we’ll go to the lab. Even if you don’t plan to get one, you are free to observe since it’ll definitely affect your performance."
"Yes, miss."
"In that case, let’s go. There are a lot of things you need to explain to me." Hana grabbed Clovis’ arm and dragged him inside. She had a hard time containing herself to know about Reolf.
Cain and the others exchanged looks.
"Who is he? To think that the young miss will act like this? Even we have a hard time meeting her, but the miss actually makes time for him."
"I don’t know. Isn’t it because of this new project? From the looks of it, that man is the one giving the project."
"But he is an explorer, a very young one at that. He won’t be able to make all this concept."
"Does that mean someone is behind him, or maybe he discovers a fortune that contains this project?"
"Or maybe he is someone extremely important? Not that I’m judging, but it’s rare for someone to not have a family name."
"True. More importantly, I saw one of a viral video about him getting accused of having a 15% evolution rate and proving himself to have 40%. It doesn’t make sense he is able to reach Tier 2 this fast with that evolution rate."
"…"
There was an awkward silence between them. Looking at how Hana dragged Clovis so casually, it didn’t seem their relationship was bad either.
"The young miss even visited him a few months ago, right?"
"Maybe he has a big background that can actually alter his own information."
"Nevertheless, it looks like it’s the young miss that is trying to curry favor instead of the other way around."
"True. She never gives a fuck whenever someone is trying to grab her attention. Don’t tell me, she is in love with him?"
"The money-oriented brain actually thinks about getting someone in her life? She will probably lose half of everything if she does that, and someone like her will definitely not do it."
"Hey, that’s rude."
"Sorry. I’m not trying to say that she won’t have a partner in her life. With her wealth, people will be lining up if she wants to."
"No! I mean the money oriented brain part. Don’t think of her so low. If she can suck your money dry, she will definitely do that."
"…"
Everyone was speechless by that last remark.
Meanwhile, that wasn’t far from the truth.
As soon as Clovis and Hana entered the mansion, Hana immediately cornered Clovis by slapping the wall with both hands as if she wasn’t planning to let him go.
"What’s that? What’s that? How are you able to get a dire wolf? What do you feed him? How strong is he? How smart is Reolf?
Is it possible if we can somehow reproduce such a thing? Is beast taming real? You sure don’t mind sharing a bit of a secret with me, right?"
