Chapter 1039: Helping the Dark Moon Mercenary

"Well..." Clovis thought for a moment. Before he gave an answer, Vina suddenly entered their mansion. "Hello, guys. Sorry to keep you waiting."

Clovis rolled his head back. "Welcome."

"Yep." Vina waved while walking to the couch. "The situation outside is quite chaotic. People want to know about the world. The truth has been hidden for so long, so it’s a mess."

"Are you doing anything?" Clovis asked.

Vina nodded and raised three fingers. "That’s actually why I came here with three pieces of news."

"Oh?" Clovis nodded. "Let’s share it."

Vina took a sip first before explaining, "The first piece of news comes from this government. It looks like they’re striking back at those countries that are trying to sanction this country for sheltering you guys.

"And with the people all over the world watching, more and more countries are trying to ally with Absalom.

"If the president of this country can hold his weight, I believe the effects of the sanction won’t be felt. There are many countries that are curious after all. In fact, among all five superpower countries, there are two who don’t know anything. One of them is already our ally, Curea.

"With their help, the world will be divided into two. Countries that are supporting the Prophet to hide the truth about this world and countries that are supporting us.

"Their side will try to steer the narrative so that people will believe this is just a conspiracy theory.

"However, many people will try to enter that special tower, which means the Spear Saint has to guard that place all the time. It will be suspicious, so we’ll steer the narrative back.

"Of course, it will be good to add the rumors about why the Hacfield family was annihilated. If you were annihilated because of the truth, it would make people think twice and consider who was in the wrong.

"Anyway, with the Spear Saint getting stuck in that tower, the Hacfield family will be able to start chipping away at his power. I actually came here to bring the news to your parents as well. The Shadow Guards can now begin eliminating the Spear Saint’s ally, and he can’t do anything about it.

"I’m sure it will be frustrating." Vina smiled.

"Oh? Has great-grandma told you that much?" Clovis raised his eyebrows. After the last vacation, he didn’t hide all this furniture anymore. In fact, Vina already knew about the fact that he possessed two unique abilities.

It looked like Silvia also told her about the Hacfield family.

"Yeah. It’s not that important, though." Vina nodded. "Let’s continue with the second piece of news. It’s about the special towers. Unfortunately, we don’t have more information about the special towers. All we can find out is that there is a tower in the wild that is guarded by a Tier 9. No one has gone there.

"We are assuming this is a special tower. The Prophet hasn’t taken down the Tier 9 beast, but he must be monitoring it. He should want to ambush whoever takes it down, especially after they’re tired.

"The other tower is the Tower of the Lake, which was in the Hacfield family’s possession in the past. Unfortunately, neither of these towers could be recommended to the Libation Fiesta yet.

"For the one in the wilderness, you would end up clashing with not only the Tier 9 beast but also the Prophet at the same time. It is too risky for the current Libation Fiesta.

"Meanwhile, the Tower of the Lake has been taken over by the Prophet. Who knows what he puts in there."

"I see." Clovis crossed his arms. "Do you intend to find other towers?"

"Yes. We have several guesses, but we have to send people to check it."

Clovis thought for a moment before turning to Melody.

"Do you want me to give that information to them?" Melody was startled.

"It should be fine."

Melody nodded. "All right."

"What information?" Vina asked, tilting her head.

"From the Tower of Darkness, we get information about the possible special towers. Unfortunately, we’re not exactly the type of group that can check them."

"Oh?! With that information, we can check them for you." Vina nodded.

"Yeah." While waiting for Melody to bring the information, Clovis asked, "What about the third one?"

"The last piece of news is about the Dark Moon Mercenary. It looks like the Dark Supreme has sensed that the Prophet suspects the Dark Moon Mercenary.

"Rather than trying to fool him, it’s better to let him know we’re affiliated with the Dark Moon Mercenary.

"There are two reasons. The first is because the Dark Moon Mercenary is really related to the Hacfield family. The second is because the Prophet is trying to control the other successor. If he’s not stopped, the other successor might kill Stefany and take over the Dark Moon Mercenary.

"You may want to help Stefany soon. I’m checking the background of his helpers. I’m afraid that the Prophet is serious about it. There are at least ten Tier 8 humans behind him.

"I don’t think you’re afraid of it, especially with the people we have, but this is what we can find.

"According to Madam Silvia, the Prophet only lets you see what he wants you to see. That’s why if you’re going to face the Prophet, you need to watch out for what you can’t see."

Clovis thought for a moment before asking, "Stefany hasn’t told us anything, though."

"Yeah. She’s actually thinking she’s fine. This information comes from Steven, not the Dark Moon Mercenary. Madam Silvia and the Dark Supreme must want you to give this information to her.

"This way, she will feel grateful to you and remain loyal. That’s why the Hacfield family will take over the job to mess with the Spear Saint. While we’re searching for the next special tower that may suit you, you should either hunt beasts to increase your strength or help Stefany... Maybe both."

Vina was right. "It looks like our course of action has been decided."
