Another World Mall

With the continuous war on Skynet, Clovis got a perfect opportunity to kill many beasts, especially Tier 7 beasts.

The others had agreed to focus the resources on Clovis, so this meant Clovis could increase his progress significantly over a short period of time.

Still, the effect of the ingredients from Another World Mall had decreased significantly. Eating one item would only give him 0.05%.

Usually, Rin helped him by making a lot of delicious food, allowing Clovis to eat as much as possible.

Of course, Clovis never complained about the food. If the others knew how easy it was for him to get stronger, they would be envious. After all, that number wasn’t affected by their absorption rate.

Finally, after three weeks, Jay evolved to Tier 8. Kanaria followed him one week later.

Clovis was also close, but he needed another two weeks before he reached Tier 8. There was one thing he intended to do the moment he reached this stage.

He wanted to challenge Mara. It would be an extremely dangerous challenge, but all his team had reached Tier 8.

In terms of strength, there was no small elite group that had such a lineup. After all, including the beasts, they had 14 Tier 8s.

"Have you found her, Vina?" Clovis asked.

"Not yet. It’s not easy to find Mara."

"I see." Clovis thought for a moment before raising one finger. "Doesn’t that mean one thing?"

"One thing?"

"Yes." Clovis smiled. "Of course, I’m talking about the engagement party?"

"Ah!" Vina had almost forgotten about it. Previously, they had set a date for the engagement and the marriage. The engagement would be held in one year, and the marriage would be set one year after that.

Close to ten months had passed, so the date was approaching.

"Engagement party before fighting Mara? It sounds like a death flag for me." Vina chuckled.

"Of course not before. I’m talking about after, but we have to prepare."

"I think Sir Ezekiel is almost done with the preparations. As he said, you don’t have to do anything. Besides, this is not a public occasion. Instead, it’s just a family gathering where all the families that are going to be united under your banner gather."

Clovis nodded. "I know. Well, try to find Mara before the time. Can you do that?"

"I’ll do my best."

Vina hung up the call. Her expression turned resolute, as if she were planning to do something crazy.

Vina took a deep breath before walking to another room to find Silvia.

Silvia raised her eyebrows while giving the documents to Maya to be stored.

"I have something to ask."

"Asking me? Do you want my help? Are you so incompetent that you can’t do it by yourself? If you can’t, then find someone that you can trust. That’s how you’re able to gain my trust." Silvia might act like a kind grandmother to Clovis, but she was like a demon when it came to work.

Vina flinched, but she had made her resolve.

She stepped forward and looked at her firmly. "Yes, I do need your help. However, it doesn’t matter whether I’m competent or not. Instead, this is a proposal."

"A proposal? Do you think sweet words will work on me?"

"I wonder if Madam would like Mara Leverstrike as your great-granddaughter-in-law?"

"I guess they do work on me." Silvia smiled. "Tell me your proposal."

"Mara Leverstrike has agreed to join the Libation Fiesta if Clovis defeats her. Now that he has reached Tier 8, he’s confident that the Libation Fiesta can defeat Mara Leverstrike.

"This is the problem. The engagement party is in two months, so if we can find her and defeat her before that, I believe I can persuade her into marrying him. This way, we can include her in the engagement party."

Silvia crossed her arms. It was a bold idea. "Do you think you can convince her?"

"I believe I can. I have met her once. From my perspective, she’s not exactly the type of person everyone thinks she is. It’s true that she loves to wander, but that’s simply because she has no place to settle down. If there is a place to settle down, she might stop wandering around."

"However, if you make her join the Libation Fiesta, it might cause a response from other Tier 9 humans, especially those who have been neutral all this time."

"I am aware of it. However, those people will join sooner or later as we approach the final tower. There’s no way they’re not curious, and the Prophet will definitely try to influence them to take sides."

Silvia fell into deep thought. On the one hand, the addition of Maya would disrupt the balance. On the other hand, it might be the only way to restore the balance that would soon be disrupted by the Prophet.

In addition, who wouldn’t want a Tier 9 human as their in-law? Besides, Maya might be older than Clovis, but she was still 36 years old this year. Clovis himself was already 22 years old, but age itself wasn’t a problem.

The average human lifespan had increased from 70 years to 100 years. And if they were Tier 9 humans, their bodies and immune systems were greater than normal people, so even Michael could live to 120 years old.

This might be an opportunity for them.

She thought for a moment before asking, "What do you need?"

"I need your help to find Mara Leverstrike as soon as possible. Then, we will have to secure the field so that no one knows about it yet. Mara Leverstrike’s existence will become a great trump card to get into another tower."

"It will be revealed at the engagement party."

"No. We will wait until most of them have left. So, Mara Leverstrike will only be revealed to the core people who can keep a secret."

Silvia smiled. "It looks like you have improved a lot, Lenvina."

Vina’s face brightened. "Thank you for the praise."

Silvia turned to Maya and said, "I’ll be fine here. Why don’t you assist Vina this time?"

"I understand." Maya nodded. "You look happy, Ma’am."

"Do I?" Silvia smiled.
