They were going out with only a simple car as if they didn’t plan to do anything dangerous.
However, the place that Hana picked was actually a fallen city. It was a famous fallen city near the capital. The number of the beasts had been thinned out regularly by a lot of groups, so this place wasn’t as dangerous as one would think.
Besides, it was known to be a Tier 4 fallen city, meaning no Tier 5 or above would appear in this city.

It only took them two hours to reach this city.
To Clovis’ surprise, the spot that Hana chose was actually the wall of this city.
While looking at the ruined city, Hana asked, "Say, are you planning to leave this country anytime soon?"
"I don’t quite understand your question. What do you mean?" Clovis squinted his eyes.
"We both know that it’s impossible for you to be locked down in one place. I’m wondering if you plan to leave this country and live somewhere else."
"Live, huh?" Clovis thought for a moment before shaking his head. "I’m not sure right now."
On the one hand, he definitely wanted to explore other countries and witness everything they had to offer. On the other hand, he didn’t think he would live in those countries. He didn’t know anyone in that place.
However, he couldn’t deny that there was a possibility of him living in another country and even settling down in that country. After all, he had to meet his father and mother. They said they would be able to meet once he reached Tier 5.
Considering he was about to reach Tier 3, he should only need one or two years before reaching Tier 5.
That led to another question, which was whether he would stay with his parents or just live in a different country. While it was true he was independent, a powerful family usually stayed together so that they could provide protection.
Clovis shook his head. "I can only answer with I don’t know."
"I see." Hana closed her eyes for a moment. "If that’s the case, what if I give you the reason to settle down in this country?"
"Huh?" Clovis crossed his arms. "You are not thinking…"
"Hahaha." Hana chuckled. "Well, that’s that. Who would refuse a future Tier 9? However, we both know that it’s not possible with our current views toward the world. As someone who is pursuing money, I actually have a proposal for you."
Clovis frowned. Both of them were greedy for different reasons.
Hana raised one finger. "Have you ever thought about what will happen to Kanaria once you grow stronger? A Tier 5 human already has senses sharp enough to notice incoming bullets, a Tier 6 can even block it with their weapons as if they can see it. The higher her tier is, the harder it is for her to kill her opponent. This is the problem that everyone never really talks about.
"It’s true that a sniper will be extremely powerful for low tiers, but they will lose their advantages to the point where they are even worse than normal weapons once they reach higher tiers. When that happens, will they be able to progress forward?
"You should know that once you reach a high tier, you basically already have a foundation of your fighting style. Can you abandon it completely and fight with a new style?"
Clovis’ expression turned dark as if he disliked the topic.
Hana ignored it for a second and said, "What if I tell you that I can solve that problem?"
"Solve that problem?"
"Yeah. What kind of problem do you think a gun has? It’s simple. They are not big enough. Imagine you getting hit by an artillery shell. You probably can dodge it, but the explosion might hurt you or something.
If it somehow hits, you might not be able to stop it, right?"
Hana made a point. Clovis asked, "But…"
"I know. It’s impossible to actually bring out such a thing. That’s why I have invested in something different.
"In fact, I have been investing my money into this project before your proposal. But because I believe that your proposal can allow me to gain all the resources I need, I agree to it.
"The reason I bring you here is because you’re the one making the decision. I’m planning to pour eighty percent of the profits made from the beast souls into this project." Hana raised her left hand, which carried a silver briefcase.
If one took a closer look, there was actually a button on the handle.
Hana pressed this button, and clicking sounds started to echo as if there was a hidden mechanism inside that briefcase.
To Clovis’ surprise, the briefcase gradually changed its form into a long sniper rifle. It was even bigger than the one Kanaria used.
More importantly, this sniper was actually attached to Hana’s arm or even her back with a single metal rod.
It was as if this weapon was actually an extension of an exoskeleton.
Hana easily lifted it up with one hand, showing that the exoskeleton provided the necessary strength to hold this giant rifle.
"This is the thing that I want to show you." Hana put down the rifle on the edge of the wall as she aimed down, finding a suitable target.
She pointed at the target while saying, "Watch this, a Tier 3 beast."
Clovis looked down, finding a huge street with a clear view. Even from such a place, he could see the beast clearly.
Bam!
The suppressor couldn’t contain all the sound as it broke the peace in the city.
The Tier 3 beast didn’t realize what happened as the bullet actually blew its upper body apart.
"!!!" Clovis widened his eyes. Even Kanaria’s sniper rifle wasn’t this powerful.
Hana smiled while pointing at this rifle. "This is the invention that I have been planning to introduce, the power armor. I’m planning to create something that will etch my name into the canal of history. And this power armor will be it."
