"Hu…" Clovis returned from Another World Mall with the ring and necklace. He immediately took out the necklace and wore it. Because it would look weird for a necklace to appear, he made sure that he hid this necklace underneath his shirt.
Meanwhile, Clovis also noticed another thing at the Another World Mall.
"As I expected, the Another World Mall has another yet realistic concept." Clovis recalled what happened after buying the items. "In the supermarket, the items will be restored after some time. Meanwhile, the ones in the boutique store aren’t replaced after some time.
"I think that each store has their own way to get their supply. And there is a possibility that the item in the boutique store won’t appear again. Or they might be replaced by something else."
Clovis thought that this system was a bit annoying, but also relatable. If they got restored anytime they wanted, he could buy a lot of the luck necklace and stack the luck for himself.
"Either way, tomorrow is going to be interesting." Clovis smiled.
…
Meanwhile, Melody couldn’t help but look at the screen with Clovis’s profile on it.
"Even after putting in a lot of effort, this is the only thing I can get…" Melody muttered. "His name is only Clovis as if his last name has been erased. He was born in Starfall City. However, his childhood seemed to be far from that city…"
This was just the basic information she could get from Skynet. There were a few childhood pictures posted on Skynet that seemed to be coming from his parents.
"Starfall City is a Tier 8 city, right? If I’m not wrong, they are located in the neighboring country and are guarded by three Tier 8 explorers. It’s a really prosperous city and a very safe place.
"It’s a dream base for a lot of people. However, for some reason, his parents left this city with him. Why? Was it because they didn’t have enough money to stay there?
"Either way, he was last spotted in the neighboring city that fell from a beast wave. He gradually reached this place as a refugee.
"The reason why I was sure that his parents didn’t leave Starfall City because of money was due to the fact that he still had a house here. In fact, he might have a lot of houses in other cities. With that wealth alone, it was clear that his family was wealthy.
"However, his parents fell in the previous beast wave. Even after searching for his parents’ information, I got nothing."
Melody fell silent for a while, trying to connect the dots. "If I’m not wrong, his family should be extremely powerful. There should be at least a Tier 7 in the family. It’s just… I don’t recognize their faces.
"And how could they erase the information about him? Does a Tier 8 explorer have that kind of authority? Or does it…" Melody abruptly stopped as her expression turned solemn.
Her thoughts went a bit too wild to the point that she thought something unimaginable. At the same time, she couldn’t help but recall the fight between Clovis and the Tier 3 proconsul.
Back then, Clovis showed a strength that she couldn’t comprehend. It was as if his nature was changing.
Melody shook her head furiously. "No. Why should I bother with this? I’d worked hard enough to dig up his background… Wait, no. I didn’t do this normally. Why would I even bother searching for his information?"
If she had to come up with a reason, it would be Clovis’s invitation as well as the attack of a mysterious force.
And in the midst of her investigation, she found one amusing thing.
"If you want to kill him, do so without being directly involved. If you ignore this warning, I will find every single person involved in his murder. And I won’t stop even if I have to level off a few countries."
This was a message she found. On the one hand, she could see why the people who wanted to kill Clovis were actually using the jamming device or sending the beast wave toward them. On the other hand, this message just reinforced the theory in her mind.
Clovis might be related to a Tier 9 Explorer. Only a Tier 9 Explorer dared to say that they would destroy several countries.
"I was just trying to get to know him a bit better. He didn’t seem to be someone who would give up with a simple rejection. So, I should get enough information to reject him. Only by doing so would he give up. It’s annoying, but I guess it can’t be helped." Melody sighed, convincing herself. "Anyway, I will meet him again tomorrow to get my money."
With that thought in mind, Melody turned off her device, trying to think this matter through.

It was unlike her to be this diligent to find out about someone’s information.
…
The next day.
Clovis, Jay, and Kanaria were already outside the house. Jay was going home since it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to stay in Clovis’s house by himself even if Clovis didn’t mind.
On the other hand, Kanaria had listed all the items she needed to buy today. And she also planned to introduce Clovis to a good store for the bullets.
Clovis was just tagging along, thinking of buying a few things. He wondered how he should convince Melody to join with the help of the ring. It was probably the only thing that could solve Melody’s physical problem.
In the end, Jay drove them to the first store.
"Make sure you drop my luggage at my house, Jay. I’ll be going home after buying a few things." Kanaria waved her hand.
"Sure, sure. Have fun with your little date. I’m not going to be a third party here." Jay nodded nonchalantly.
Both Kanaria and Clovis raised their eyebrows, not expecting Jay to say it. But the latter immediately drove off after saying those words, leaving the two dumbfounded.
Little did they know, in Jay’s Skylink, there was a message from Vania Renvolt.
Kanaria’s Mother: I bet they are having fun. Drop Kanaria’s stuff in our house and exchange it for some fresh clothes. Don’t forget to drop it again at Clovis’s house. Thank you.
Jay: You’re welcome. Just helping my childhood friend.
