Another World Mall-Chapter 539: Hana’s Intention

"Miss. There are several invitations from overseas companies wanting us to disclose the information about the new beast soul. There are fifteen companies that are among the top one hundred biggest companies in the world. They are asking if we’re able to disclose the information or want to expand overseas."

Hana squinted her eyes, never expecting that they would be this annoying. "We are unable to do so yet, even though I want to. I’ve promised the government not to disclose the information or try overseas expansion."

"Shall I reject them then?"

"Not yet. The promise itself is not the problem. Thanks to that promise, I can also conduct business even more boldly. However, we don’t know if the government is going to take back their promise or not." Hana shook her head. "For now, keep their offer and try to extend it as much as possible."

"But if there is no expansion…" Her assistant frowned.

"It doesn’t matter. Most of the time, the expansion will go through the sea or land. The sea is prone to attacks from flying beasts, while the land is much more dangerous.

"That’s why there are not a lot of people trying to expand overseas. The risk is simply too high. Even if we want to do it, we need a lot of resources, especially fighters and ammunition. If the ship is destroyed, the loss is immeasurable.

"But there will definitely be some people who are daring enough to cross the border." Hana smiled.

"!!!" Her assistant suddenly understood what she was talking about. "Are you talking about the banquet?"

"Yes. That place is not only for local people. A lot of foreigners will attend it. That’s why they will definitely go to that place instead of going to this company directly. After all, even if they can meet me here, they can’t meet the person who provides that research, Clovis.

"Hence, rather than persuading me, they will most likely persuade Clovis. That’s why we’ll hold their offer for the time being. The more desperate they are, the easier I can take advantage of them.

"Besides, I believe that Clovis and the others would like to go overseas. It’s not just those neighboring countries, but farther away. Also, I think it’s good to have a potential teammate from overseas."

"Potential teammates?"

"Yes. It’s only for Clovis. He has been searching for people, so I guess I can help him with it. This opportunity comes from the research he brought, so of course, he should get as much benefit as possible. This will make him happy and bring out more. Hehehe."

The assistant didn’t know what to say.

Hana added, "Besides, looking at his party composition, the position will be limited. Most likely, he will get a chef and another guardian since he wants to split his party on several occasions."

Her assistant nodded in understanding. Now that she thought about it, there was actually one company that might pique their interest. Then again, Hana might say it because she already knew what company she was thinking about. "Miss. You sound so happy whenever you’re talking about him."

"Huh?" Hana frowned. "What did you say?"

"It’s nothing. You just talk about it more enthusiastically, like when you’re talking about a new business venture." She shook her head.

"You must be confused. He is rich. Not the kind of rich with money, but with unique resources. He is basically a walking gold mine." Hana waved her hand.

"Well, if you say so." She nodded. "In that case, I will stall them as much as possible. How long is the ban, miss?"

"One year. I’m unable to disclose any information within a year."

"Understood." Her assistant acknowledged the order and left the room, proceeding to handle the matter.

Hana closed her eyes for a moment, remembering what she saw in that art room. It was a painting about riches.

In that painting, she understood business but also what was more important than it. She sighed, "It seems I have become a bit too reliant on Clovis. It’s not like I had any trouble before this. The business is fine. I should focus on making more money."

Hana didn’t realize that when she was pinching the bridge of her nose, there was a glitch behind her chair.

Meanwhile, Clovis showed the art room to his group. It was quite surprising because they never thought that Clovis’ grandfather would give such a gift.

Unlike Hana, they didn’t ask much, fully trusting their captain. It wasn’t like they were going to benefit from it.

Even the most obsessed person, Hana, didn’t bother much. First of all, she knew there was a high chance this painting came from Clovis. In addition, there was a chance that his blood was a lie. There might be something greater than his blood.

Obviously, it might be linked to his body, so she became even more interested in him. Fortunately, she had accepted this fact the whole time, so she didn’t push Clovis down or drag him somewhere.

Nevertheless, it was still linked to his body, so blood might be a part of it. What was more important was to maintain Clovis’ interest in her as a group member or beyond that.

Hence, the first thing she did after entering the room was search for the painting that suited her.

The rest of them did the same thing and gained understanding about their problems or their abilities.

Some of them had found two or three paintings that could boost their power. But the one that gained the most benefit was surprisingly Ragna. It wasn’t Jay or Erwin. It was Ragna.

Hence, for the next several days, they completely refined that understanding and ingrained it into their bodies.

Once they were used to it, the group finally went to the mine.

They found the staired-crater, expanding for a few hundred meters. Several entries into the mines were visible, while some required them to go around first.

With this kind of size, it would be hard to find the location of their target. Then again, they had to clean up the beasts here.

Clovis smiled as if he were thinking something amusing. "So, this is the mine."
