"Clovis? How can I help you?" Stefany asked. She didn’t expect Clovis to call her.

"Stefany. It looks like your situation doesn’t look so good."

Stefany paused for a moment. "What do you mean?"

Her voice sounded confused, as if she wasn’t really aware of what was going on.

Clovis asked, "Are you sure you don’t know anything about your situation?"

"No. I just know that the atmosphere in the Dark Moon Mercenary is quite weird, so I’m still in the middle of the investigation. I haven’t found anything yet."

"You need to be faster than that." Clovis sighed. "Well, it looks like the Prophet is trying to support the other successor."

"!!!" Stefany noticed that something was wrong, but she was in the middle of the investigation. She never thought that the threat was this big. "Do you mean..."

"I’m sure you understand why the Prophet will come after you, right?"

"Yes. The Prophet must want you, so he first wants to eliminate me first."

"You’re not holding a grudge against me?"

"Should I? From the beginning, I knew this was going to happen if I accepted your forgiveness. Holding a grudge won’t fix the situation, so I don’t have time to do such a meaningless thing. Rather, I need to know what’s going to come for me."

Clovis smiled. "It looks like the Prophet is going to send some experts to help the other successors. How about you investigate it yourself and bait him out? The Libation Fiesta will take down the enemies. Use this chance to secure victory and take the seat of the Dark Supreme."

"!!!" Stefany had been too passive all this time. That was because the other successor hadn’t launched an attack.

If she launched an attack without enough preparation, even if she won, the damage would be too severe. The Dark Moon Mercenary might not retain its position as the second strongest mercenary group in the world anymore.

However, it would be different if Clovis helped her this time. She could eliminate the threat significantly and used the resources she had in the Dark Moon Mercenary to eliminate the remaining threat.

Of course, there were actually other reasons the Prophet came for the Dark Moon Mercenary.

There was a rumor that the Prophet could mobilize the strongest mercenary group in the world. The Dark Moon Mercenary was the only one who had the ability to mess them up.

So, the Prophet wanted to take over the Dark Moon Mercenary so that his own mercenary group would remain safe.

In fact, if the Dark Moon Mercenary was under him, he would become even stronger. But for the Prophet, it didn’t matter whether the Dark Moon Mercenary remained strong or got ruined.

As long as there was no more threat, the Prophet was more than happy.

With the war between the Prophet and the Hacfield family restarting, it was only natural for their allies to get involved as well.

Besides, the Dark Supreme used to be Michael’s right-hand man. Even though he had become the Dark Supreme, he was still closely connected to Michael and Silvia.

It was more than enough to say that the Dark Moon Mercenary belonged to the Hacfield family.

So, if they were going to clash, the Prophet wouldn’t escape unscathed either. That was why he first wanted to use this chance to weaken the Dark Moon Mercenary or even take them over.

He wanted to weaken the Hacfield family.

There was one thing that Clovis still couldn’t see through. Why would the Dark Supreme expose the Dark Moon Mercenary by training the successors?

It was true that he could train the successors as he wanted, but this kind of timing was extremely suspicious. It was as if he were doing what he could to expose the Dark Moon Mercenary.

Clovis couldn’t help but wonder if it was actually bait.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t figure this one out until someone told him about it. So, he did the best thing he could, which was to help Stefany take the reins.

This way, the Dark Supreme’s plan would succeed.

Stefany didn’t know all this. She was too focused on the Dark Moon Mercenary. Besides, she also didn’t have access to other information.

So, it was only right for her to focus on the other successor instead of the Prophet. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Since Clovis planned to lend his help, it was time for her to take that seat.

She was still weak, but the connection she had with Clovis was her greatest strength. As long as that connection was maintained, no one dared to question her decision or her qualifications.

Clovis said, "For now, I need you to investigate their strength and try to create the opportunity. Surely, you can do that, right?"

Stefany’s voice became firm. "Yes. It looks like the situation doesn’t require us to issue a formal challenge like when Vina and I fight for this position."

"Well, you take care of that side. Once the opportunity comes, I will take them down."

Clovis didn’t plan to spoon-feed everything. Stefany needed to show her competence to make him believe that putting her in that position was the right choice.

So, this was the time for Stefany to show her ability if she wanted Clovis to remain as her backer.

"Understood. I’ll call you soon."

"Okay." Clovis hung up. Now that the plan had been set in motion, they should adjust their schedule a bit.

"It looks like a big fight is brewing." Vina smiled. "I’m afraid that everyone knows where the climax is."

"..." Their expressions turned grim. They were not that foolish. Without anyone saying it to them, they knew that the climax would be the battle to enter the special tower.

When they wanted to enter the seventh tower, the Prophet would do everything he could to stop them. That would be their final battle.

That was why they needed to prepare.

Their expressions turned even darker when they suddenly sensed another presence entering the mansion. They weren’t expecting anyone to come here, so they wondered if it was an intruder or if Hana made a surprise visit.

When the silhouette entered the living room, their dark expression turned into a surprised expression, as they never thought the person coming this time would be this guy.

"Looks like you kids are gathering here."

Out of anyone who would make a surprise visit, Michael Hacfield was the last person they expected.
