Carrick gritted his teeth in frustration.

"I’m sorry, sir. We can’t find their trace anymore."

Carrick let out a long sigh, realizing that everything had gone beyond his prediction. If it were just the Libation Fiesta, he could catch up to them and capture them. This way, the Melesviet family would have an absolute advantage over the Hacfield family.

He thought he had paid attention to all the people who could make the difference, such as Michael and Ezekiel. He never expected Clovis to bring Mara here.

After this battle, he realized that the relationship between Mara and Clovis might actually be better than anyone could imagine.

Mara didn’t break any promise or help him catch Clovis despite all the things he could give them. In addition, she used to train Clovis.

It made him understand how far Mara planned to lend her hand to Clovis. At this rate, it wouldn’t be just the two families he had to worry about.

Suddenly, his Skyphone rang, startling him. However, it looked like there was another person who was eager to find the result of this fight.

"What do you want?" Carrick frowned.

"I need to know the result, but judging from your tone, it looks like you’ve failed."

"Shut up. I’m not in the mood to talk with you, Prophet."

"I just want to know what happens. Since you’re not in the mood, I’ll call you another time."

Carrick clicked his tongue. "Just beware of Mara Leverstrike. The reason I lost today was her. Her strength has reached our level, and it looks like her relationship with Clovis Hacfield is much better than anyone could imagine. That’s all. Don’t bother me anymore."

"All right. Thank you for telling me that." The Prophet hung up, not bothering him any longer.

The Prophet realized that Clovis had truly become a terrifying opponent. If he continued this way, the Libation Fiesta would surpass the power the Prophet wielded. At that time, countries would be flocking around him.

After all, fighting on the winning side was much better.

Carrick took a deep breath. He needed to somehow undermine Clovis’ achievement.

Meanwhile, Clovis had finished gathering the data about the Tower of Beasts. Angelia and the others were curious about the special tower. Angelia was especially curious because this was the first time she had heard about it.

Clovis explained, "There are seven special towers in the world. These special towers don’t follow the norm of towers. That’s because these seven towers contain the secret of this world.

"In the Tower of Darkness, we gain the code that is used to build this world. In the Tower of Beasts, we’re able to gain the record of all beasts existing in this place.

"All these special towers contain all the information that creates this world. If we are able to enter all seven towers, I believe that we will be able to figure out the truth about this world or even escape this simulation world."

Angelia was stunned when she heard this possibility. Learning about this world was something that everyone wanted, but this also meant one thing.

Angelia asked, "Clovis. Doesn’t this mean those world governments already know about it?"

Clovis nodded. "I’m afraid so. However, they may know only half of it. The Prophet has prevented everyone from accessing this information. I don’t doubt that people who know the secret about this world exist.

"However, those nations are trying hard to protect this secret. I don’t know what kind of secret they’re hiding, but I plan to discover everything."

Angelia sucked in a cold breath. She finally understood Clovis’ goal, and it looked like it wasn’t an empty goal.

If he succeeded, he would figure out the world, and she didn’t know what would happen to this world. It was scary, but she felt knowing about this world would make her feel better.

Angelia said, "So, the Prophet has been defending everything. Don’t tell me, the attack on the Hacfield family in the past..."

Clovis nodded. "My grandfather never told me the reason, but judging from the circumstances, the Hacfield family must have been close to the truth. Or the Prophet simply wanted to remove the Hacfield family from possessing the Tower of the Lake. It could be a little bit of both.

"Regardless of the reason, the Tower of the Lake would be one of our destinations. The Prophet would surely not back down from this fight.

"We might have Mara helping us, but the Prophet would surely get someone else to help him.

"In other words, if I wanted to accomplish my goal, there would come a day where I had to decide everything with the Prophet." Clovis’ expression turned solemn. He had gathered his resolve to kill the Prophet if it led him to the truth.

Angelia was taken aback. She finally understood why the Hacfield family and the Prophet never got along.

Angelia wanted to join the Libation Fiesta to be on the winning side before. She never thought that it would end up leading her to the truth of this world.

This time, she wondered who was on the winning side. On the one hand, the Prophet had been losing to Clovis in the multiple clashes they had. On the other hand, the Prophet still had a massive influence.

Still, with Ezekiel, Michael, and Mara, winning against the Prophet might be possible. After all, Clovis and Christina also had the chance to become Tier 9 humans. With the help of Another World Mall, Jay and the others could become a super Tier 8 or even a Tier 9 human.

That was why she thought going with the Libation Fiesta was indeed the correct choice.

Angelia said, "Still, I’m sure that the Spear Saint will be hitting your reputation after this. Most likely, he will use this invasion to condemn you."

"Yeah, I know." Clovis nodded. "I don’t really care about my reputation at this point, to be honest."

"If you don’t mind revealing a bit of the secret about the special towers, I can actually hit them back and give you many supporters. With your permission, of course. This is my specialty after all."
