Another World Mall
Chapter 1022: Two Files
Clovis took a look at the file that his great-grandmother had given him. When he opened the sealed envelope, Clovis was surprised at first but soon chuckled. "Hahaha."
Vina was confused. On the one hand, there wasn't supposed to be anything funny in this file, especially with how angry his great-grandmother was when she gave Vina this file. On the other hand, it might just be teasing or something.
Vina hadn't seen the file itself, so she didn't know what it contained.
Clovis asked, "Did great-grandmother tell you anything else?"
"No, not really." Vina shook her head.
"Interesting. I finally understand why my grandfather is so scared of her. However, right now, I guess my skin is thick enough to actually laugh about it."
Vina was confused, not knowing what it contained.
Surprisingly, Clovis waved his hand, gesturing to her to come. "Take a look."
Vina was wondering whether she should take a look or not. After all, Silvia had previously told her not to take a peek at this file.
But since Clovis had given her the opportunity, there was no reason for her to reject it.
She carefully walked to him to see the file's content. It turned out to be a single picture, and the picture was something she would never expect.
There was a small baby that seemed to be about a year old. The baby was already standing and posed with nothing but a diaper.
It was rather obvious who was inside this file.
"This baby… is you?" Vina gasped.
Clovis chuckled. "Cute, isn't it? There are a lot of things I can say right now, but it's certain now that my grandfather is so scared because she has something on him. And that something is more than enough to completely destroy his reputation."
"…" Vina smiled wryly, wondering if he really should laugh about it. At the same time, it looked like Clovis was never bothered by it.
"Next time you see her, tell her that I like the gift so much. However, she probably needs to do better."
Vina's face turned pale. "You're going to kill me."
Clovis continued to laugh.
Vina shook her head helplessly before giving him the second file. "This is the second file. It's about the special tower that your team may be interested in. The tower itself is quite dangerous this time, not to mention that the Prophet is guarding against you. If you are not careful, the country in charge of protecting you may end up trapping you inside the tower."
"Oh?" Clovis raised his eyebrows. He had been waiting for this file. "This is going to be interesting."
He had already recognized the Tower of Darkness, the Tower of the Lake, and the Tower of Wilderness as special towers. He had been looking for the remaining four towers, but it looked like he would know another one from this file.
"You have to be extra careful when you approach this tower. The tower itself may not be as dangerous, but the country that is protecting it is rather special."
"Special? How special?" Clovis was quite interested. Since they were talking about a special tower, it was clear that the country would do anything possible to protect it, especially with the Prophet extending his hand in the background.
Vina's expression turned solemn. "The country that is protecting this tower is the same country where the Melesviet family resides."
"!!!" It was Clovis' turn to be surprised. He thought the tower would be dangerous, but it looked like the protector of that tower was more dangerous this time.
On the one hand, they could create a plan. On the other hand, Carrick Melesviet should have predicted their arrival and made some preparations.
"Don't tell me, this tower is actually near the autonomous city that the Melesviet family possesses…"
Vina's eyebrows twitched. That reaction alone was more than enough for Clovis to know that the tower was extremely dangerous. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
They really needed a good plan and a way to distract Carrick Melesviet. If they failed to do anything to him, they wouldn't be able to enter the tower.
In addition, this nation had once defeated the Hacfield family. If they knew that Clovis would enter this country, the country would spare no resort to hunt him down.
That was why the tower was actually much more dangerous than any country in the world for Clovis.
They had just finished their sparring match with Ezekiel, so they knew how strong Ezekiel was. Yet, even with that strength, it was still weaker than Carrick.
If Clovis were not careful, a few of his members might die here. Unlike other people, Carrick should have the capability to focus on his subordinates. After all, his subordinates were the same as his limbs.
Clovis fell into deep thought before asking, "What's the situation over there?"
"Doesn't seem that good. There are many negative sentiments about you because they consider the Spear Saint to be their hero. Even though you've defeated Tesron Melesviet, their reputation remains the same. The people are supporting them to get stronger and beat you next. That's why even if I want to go there, I don't think it's going to be possible in a normal way."
"Another forced entry…" Clovis sighed. "Well, it can't be helped. I guess we should just do it, but I still can't come up with a plan that can break through their defense. I don't know how much help I can get as well.
"This situation is tricky because I can't see any way to do it yet."
Clovis shook his head helplessly. They couldn't defeat the Spear Saint, so he didn't know how to corner the giant.
If he placed it carelessly, he would die.
"For now, follow me and discuss it with the rest of the team. Since I'll be fighting with them, it'll be best for them to get involved as well." Clovis nodded.
"Understood. I should say hello to others. Besides, you're not going to renege on your promise, right?"
"What promise?"
"The invitation."
"Ah!" Clovis smiled wryly before extending his hand. "Of course not. This way, please, my lady."
