Another World Mall-Chapter 734: Paths

"Thank you." Clovis smiled, looking at the city. He wanted to make this city a place he could call home.

Although his parents might not be near him, there would always be a place where they could return to. There was no need for them to reinstate the Hacfield family here. As long as they could just gather once in a while, that was enough for him.

Besides, there was a matter about the simulation world as well. He didn’t know why the people in the real world would have created this simulation world in the first place. And what would they find when they were able to break out of this world?

And he had to consider the Prophet, who attacked his grandfather randomly. This might be related to the system as well, but without concrete proof, he could only assume things.

It looked like he had to gather more information. And the only way to do it was to get stronger.

Clovis’ expression gradually turned solemn. He had told them about everything related to the group. It looked like there was nothing important they should discuss anymore.

However, his mother shocked him by asking, "By the way, when are you going to marry those girls? Although I’m saddened by the fact that my dear son is going to be snatched away, I didn’t raise you to be someone who is irresponsible.

"You are definitely not playing around with them and casting them away when you don’t need them anymore, right?"

"Of course not. If I were going to cast them away, I wouldn’t have been in a relationship at all. Grandfather has always told me that you need to make sure you keep a promise no matter what." Clovis shook his head before falling into deep thought. "Still, the matter of marriage is a bit too fast for me. I haven’t even thought about it."

"Well, you are 17 years old right now. No, you will be 18 in two months. So, it can’t be helped." She shook her head helplessly. "And because of this training, you might not be back for a while... I don’t know. A few months? A year or two?"

"Yeah." Clovis looked down, thinking. "I don’t know..."

"In that case, let those girls settle down in this country first. Have their families do the same.

"Once it’s done, your father and I can discuss the matter with their guardians directly.

"Unlike us, you are in the most delicate age where you should prioritize growth over anything else.

"That’s why we, adults, will take care of this matter. You should focus on getting stronger first. The stronger you are, the more you can protect them."

Clovis nodded solemnly. "I understand."

"That’s good. There’s no need to rush anyway." Aisha smiled. "I guess the topic is a bit too heavy for you. Let’s switch to something simpler. How have you been the whole time?"

"Ah. You won’t believe this..." Clovis’ eyes lit up as he recounted every single thing he had once encountered.

He had survived numerous life-and-death battles and his mother couldn’t help but worry whenever Clovis attempted something reckless. However, they were quite surprised to find out Clovis had managed to achieve all that.

In the end, he spent the entire night talking about everything in the past two years. There wasn’t a single word about what happened before that. Even though he was poor, he still managed to get by from selling the furniture, so it wasn’t as miserable as everyone would think.

While the others received something from Gerald and Aisha, there was one person who wasn’t present. It was Hana.

She was pouting behind her office desk.

"This is annoying. Why am I not invited?" She bit her lips before showing a few pictures on her Skyphone. "Look at this. They’re showing off everything they’ve got. Meanwhile, I’m here... stumped with work."

"There, there..." Her grandmother smiled while patting her head. "You’ve chosen this path yourself."

"Ugh." Hana buried her head on the desk.

"If you don’t like it, you should become someone different from the others. Look at what they get. It’s clear that Kanaria is pursuing the path of management, Lucifania is growing in the medical field, while Christina is pursuing absolute strength.

"Just like them, you have your own path. Do you know what your grandfather told me when he proposed to me?

"I have been fighting the whole time, whether it’s with my fist or my money. I want to fight again, but this time with my heart."

"That’s a bit cringe." Hana squinted her eyes.

"Hahaha. But at that time, your grandfather was so charming." She chuckled. "You are not the same as your grandfather. You have dropped the path of combat. However, you have a path that is much stronger than that.

"All you just need to do is become someone irreplaceable to him. His strongest ally. And he, too, will become your strongest ally."

"..." Hana fell silent. She definitely had a path in front of her. Her talent in business surpassed even her grandfather’s. Her grandfather thought she would be able to become one of the top five richest people in the world. Although she received a bit of help from her grandfather’s reputation, she managed to build this empire from scratch.

She had the new beast’s soul, the soul weapon, and the power suit. Although the power suit hadn’t been developed yet, it was in her path. Besides, she also had other products to offer.

Clovis had a unique ability that could bring out magical items beyond what logic and science allowed. If that was the case, her path was clear. She would create the peak of items that science allowed.

She would create something so good that Clovis had no choice but to choose her item over the item from the mall. Painting, food, and the like wouldn’t be possible, but weapons might be possible. Besides, Clovis might be able to earn a lot of money through hunting beasts, but business simply gave more money.

Hana took a deep breath before saying, "Don’t worry, Grandma. I know what I’m supposed to do."

"Then do it. You are my granddaughter. You just have to persist until the other party is yours."
