Another World Mall-Chapter 533: Return

Melody had finally reached Clovis’ location after the reinforcement passed them and took over the defense of the old base.

She knew the condition on the main base was stable once they stormed, so she could finally take her time to find Clovis.

However, it wasn’t that hard to actually find Clovis.

After all, there were thousands of corpses lying around the area. There were even some mountains made of corpses, which became a landmark for Clovis.

Melody simply didn’t expect that there would be so many beasts he killed. It was true that he was able to maneuver freely, but she was talking about thousands of beasts.

"Oh! You’re here?" Clovis smiled and waved his hand.

"I don’t know whether I should be impressed or I should reprimand you for being reckless." Melody massaged her forehead.

"Hahaha. It doesn’t matter. How is the situation going over there?"

"The military has taken over."

"That’s good then. Tell them to gather the essence and help me with these beasts after that. I don’t think it’s good to return to the military base, so let’s just go home once we’re done gathering all the essence. I’m pretty tired."

"Alright." Melody immediately informed them about their next task before revealing Clovis’ position. While waiting, Melody noticed something. "Now that I think about it, where is Reolf?"

"I sent him over there." Clovis pointed to the north. We will go that way first and get Reolf before returning to the capital."

"Or should we just take a rest at a nearby city?"

"That’s what I want, but we have Luci. It’s better to return to the capital and let her settle down."

"Fair enough." Melody nodded.

It took an hour for the rest of the group to reach Clovis’ position. Like Melody, they were also shocked at how Clovis was able to kill all these beasts. He hadn’t even reached Tier 3 yet.

Melody simply told them about the maneuver Clovis made during their time on wasteland, since the way he fought these thousands of beasts must be similar. With Reolf, Clovis’ strategy would be much more effective.

Finally, after getting all the essence, they immediately returned to the bus. Clovis had reached an agreement with the military that they could get everything except the essence and beast soul for restoration.

Jay drove the bus to find Reolf. The latter had been waiting for them with a big smile on his face, but it was clear that both Reolf and Clovis were extremely tired.

Once they retrieved Reolf, Clovis immediately dozed off as Reolf followed suit.

Kanaria was smiling wryly when Luci was staring at Clovis and Reolf with heavy breath.

After telling her that she couldn’t touch them, Kanaria just let Luci put Clovis’ head on her lap.

That was also when Luci raised an important question.

"Does the group have a manager?" Luci asked.

"A manager?" Kanaria frowned.

"Yes. The one who handles everything for you. I’m sure that you have heard about it."

"I know…" Kanaria scratched the back of her head. She had never considered it because a manager handled everything. When they were buying their supplies and selling their essence, Clovis would accompany Kanaria.

That little time was what she treasured the most, so there was no need for a manager. Besides, Clovis was also a bit eccentric, telling her that all the money was supposed to go through his account every single time.

"A manager handles everything." Luci raised a finger. "They will sell your essence, they will book your accommodation, they will arrange your connection, and so on.

"If you have a manager, you will have an easier time. That’s why I think it’s important to have a manager. In fact, you probably need an accountant and make sure you pay tax.

"You should remember this phrase. No matter what kind of bad thing you do, they won’t capture you because they can’t find any proof. Most bad people are sent to jail because of not paying taxes instead of murder or anything else."

Kanaria smiled wryly while Melody patted Luci’s shoulder. Melody said, "Don’t worry. We don’t need a manager right now. Everything is working perfectly fine. But if there’s a need for one in the future, I think there will be one. So you don’t have to worry about it."

"Is that so?" Luci just thought about what was best for the group, but she didn’t take into account what was important to Kanaria. The people in the group definitely knew how much she treasured that time.

"In that case, there is one more thing I need to say. Since I’m allowed to set up a lab, I’ll be doing just that. I don’t think I will cause too much noise or anything, so you don’t have to worry."

"No one is really bothered with you setting up your lab. Just don’t let it affect your activity with the group."

Luci nodded. "I underst—"

Before she finished her words, Clovis’ Skyphone rang, which startled them.

Luci grabbed it and saw who it was. "Hana Skylark?"

"Give it to me." Kanaria stretched her hand. After Luci handed the Skyphone, she immediately accepted the call while saying, "We are on our way back right now."

"Oh. It seems that you guys survive."

"Yeah. Clovis is sleeping right now, so do you need anything?"

"Nothing. I just want to make sure that you guys are alright. The military must have arrived, so I guess it’s fine. Do you need anything else? If you encounter a problem, my PR team can help."

"There should be no problems." Kanaria thought for a moment. Saving people and Clovis’ deeds found by the military would definitely increase their reputation, so it didn’t really matter.

And Clovis would most likely evolve to Tier 3 once they returned.

They would even get a lot of money from selling all this essence.

"Alright. In that case, I should tell you about something else. Better to stay in your mansion for several days before doing anything. The capital’s condition isn’t quite good right now. While we are far from the epicenter, people are thinking this is a bad omen just because we haven’t experienced any earthquakes for decades."

"Got it."

"Also, if you want a mission, I have one later for you guys. I bet you will accept it."
