Another World Mall-Chapter 538: Hana

Hana was gasping for air as she couldn’t believe what she had just seen earlier. She looked at the entire room, finding fifteen paintings.

She couldn’t help but think, ’What is that? From the moment I see this one, I’m entranced. It’s as if the painting is alive. No. I don’t think alive is an accurate description. That’s right.

It’s like trapped within the world inside the painting. Illusion?

’Nevertheless, Clovis claims the painting is able to let Reolf understand a unique ability, which would become a beast soul if a human kills him?

’Is this for real?’ Hana turned back to Clovis, having a hard time to calm down.

Clovis extended his hand. "Can you stand up?"

"Y-Yes." She nodded furiously and took his hand. To her surprise, the moment Clovis pulled her up, it was as if her body was floating. There was nothing that stopped her from going up.

’No. That’s not my body. That’s my feet… No, my footwork?’ Hana lowered her head. Her footwork was a bit special. This was one of the reasons she was able to climb the mountain where she first met Clovis.

Her footwork made her body extremely light as her legs acted like a spring.

And more importantly, she actually activated it without realizing it. It was as if she could use it with her subconsciousness.

’Subconsciously? My footwork is complicated, so I have to use it consciously. But using it subconsciously is like I have practiced it so much that this footwork has been ingrained in my body. And that’s what I haven’t been able to do this whole time.

’Are you saying that the painting has this miraculous ability? All of them? The fact they are different paintings must mean they have different kinds of ’understanding’ within them.’

And because of this thought, Hana realized the most important thing. ’His grandfather gave it to him? Now that I think about it, what kind of miraculous thing has he achieved so far? First of all, I can understand the research. But what about Reolf? Is it just because of his blood?

’If his blood is special, Reolf won’t be the only beast. He can say that it’s because his blood can only keep up with one beast, but what about this painting? If I assume he’s telling the truth, that means his grandfather is also special, right?

’Well, I don’t think I have to doubt it, considering he is a Tier 9. But I have never heard anything about Tier 9 having special blood. According to my grandfather, there’s only special ability, not special blood.

’Even if I assume the Hacfield family’s bloodline is special, what about his father?’

It was at this moment she realized two possibilities. If she found his father not having special blood, it meant Clovis’ story was fake. If Gerald truly had a special blood, it would upset the balance in this world.

When she realized this fact, she became more determined to find Clovis’ father.

It was just there was a higher chance of Clovis lying. After all, every contact from his grandfather usually came through her, so it was weird for him to give it directly to Clovis. It might be because this was a birthday gift, but was that all?

Hana’s body was shaking.

"Are you alright?" Clovis asked, looking worried.

There were a lot of things to say, such as praising his grandfather, congratulating him, or even thanking him for allowing her to see the paintings. Sadly, her instinct actually won this time, and she uttered a completely different word with what she had in mind. "Is it available for purchase?"

Clovis’ eyebrows twitched.

"Ah!" Hana hurriedly raised both hands, covering her face. "Ugh. Sorry. I mean, thank you."

"Why are you guys so obsessed with what you want?" Clovis let out a long sigh. Then again, Hana was usually like this. The fact that he didn’t have the energy to react calmly to this made him realize how tired he was handling Luci.

He didn’t realize that Hana was about to discover his secret. If only she knew about his special items, that would let her confirm everything.

Then again, if he ended up bringing a new item, there was no way he could use the same excuse again. Even Hana wouldn’t be fooled at that time.

"Well, you can take a look at the paintings. I’m planning to show this to the rest of the group after this. I just want to thank you for working hard this whole time, especially the money previously… That helped a lot."

"Really?" Hana frowned. She couldn’t imagine what kind of thing he bought with that amount of money. Because he just handed her the name of an information organization, she thought it would be information.

Clovis nodded.

Hana thought for a moment. "Do you think I can let anyone see the painting?"

"Hmm…" Clovis scratched the back of his head. "For the time being, I think I don’t plan to let anyone see it."

"That’s understandable." Hana nodded. She also felt moved that Clovis had warmed up to her.

With Clovis’ permission, Hana continued to other paintings, experiencing different things in each painting.

Most of them were useless to her because they didn’t match her ability, but there were two more paintings that helped her. One of them was a painting about a businessman posing a picture of himself filled with money. The second one was a painting of a futuristic city.

Hana didn’t tell him what kind of thing she figured out from the paintings, but with how fresh Hana’s face became after looking at them, he could tell it was something big.

"I’ll go back right now. Call me if you need anything, and once again, thanks for showing me the painting. Since you’ll be gone for one week or two, I can prepare a gift for your birthday. Do look forward to it." Hana playfully winked.

"Hahaha." Clovis chuckled. There was another reason why Clovis chose to show the paintings to Hana, even though he was fully aware how dangerous it could be. In the end, the Another World Mall would be found sooner or later, not like he bothered to hide it completely.

By introducing it bit by bit to Hana, she wouldn’t think about anything weird just to get all those items. She was actually his biggest concern, considering he still needed her and her skill in making money...or was it truly the case?
