Another World Mall-Chapter 577: Provocation

"Whoa. There are so many people here," Clovis looked around. "How many are there?"

"About 200 people," said Melody after taking a look at the radar.

"Still, are we going to be fine with this?" Christina asked.

"Are you talking about splitting the group into two?" Luci raised her eyebrows.

What Christina was talking about was the fact that Clovis had divided them into a group of four. The first group was called Frozen Crystal, which consisted of Clovis, Melody, Christina, and Luci.

The second group was Jay, Erwin, Ragna, and Kanaria. In addition to splitting their group, they had weakened themselves by abandoning their original weapon.

Clovis had dropped both his pistol and short sword. In the end, his choice of weapon was quite unique, so if he used it, the other party might realize it was him.

Christina couldn’t bring her second shield, so she needed to do everything with only a single shield, which reduced her aggressiveness. Melody remained as an operator, but she brought a shotgun instead of a pistol. Luci chose a huge cleaver, as if she wanted to chop some beasts, which also stunned their group at first.

Jay was the only one who didn’t have the change of weapon. Meanwhile, Erwin’s weapon was the most unique. Hence, he focused on punching and kicking for the time being, but when others didn’t see it, he would use his wires.

On the other hand, Kanaria brought out her automatic rifle instead of a sniper rifle while Ragna dropped his shield and fought only with his spear.

"Group A. Please go here!"

"Group B!"

People started calling them one by one. Of course, with the help of Aileen, they were able to get inside information, allowing them to be placed in the same division.

Yes. Each division contained four groups in total. The Libation Fiesta occupied the two slots, while Aileen got the other one. The last one was a middle-rank group with two Tier 4 explorers.

Seeing all of them gathered made Clovis unable to contain himself.

He immediately came to them while raising his hand, "Hello, hello! My name is Ivan. Let’s get along, shall we?"

"Ivan…" Luci tilted her head in confusion.

"That’s the name of his previous enemy. He said no one would try to use their enemy’s name, so no one should expect it." Melody sighed.

"What the heck are you? You are just a mere Tier 3 explorer… in other words, a burden!" The guy, whom Aileen mentioned previously, snarled.

The guy had spiky black hair. His body might not be extremely muscular, but he was still considered big. He was exuding a fierce and arrogant aura, reminding him of the same guy that challenged him in the banquet.

Still, the guy was a Tier 5, so it was understandable that he would be picking on him.

Christina couldn’t help but furrow her eyebrows. Although they were in disguise, it was a bit annoying to have someone looking down on her captain.

In the end, Clovis was a person she had acknowledged from the bottom of her heart.

"Oh? To think that there’s a beautiful lady. Instead of going with this little prick, why don’t you come with us?" The guy smirked. "I’m Gillian Heshton. I might not be local, but my family is huge."

Christina thought of something amusing. She snorted, "Your family? How dare a mere lowly family disrespect my young master?"

"!!!" Gillian was startled. Aileen thought about stopping him while Erwin wanted to punch this guy in the face. At least, if he wanted to be a playboy, he should be a good one like Clovis, who wasn’t naturally lustful.

Clovis didn’t expect such a response from Christina.

"Young master? It seems because I’m not a local, you don’t know how big my family is! Do you know that my family is one of the top four families in Axolonia? What is your family?!" Gillian gritted his teeth.

Christina harrumphed. "Top four families in Axolonia, huh? As expected, a mere lowly family."

Of course, Christina didn’t lie. Their Elseingarde and Hacfield families could literally destroy a mere top four families, since both of them had their respective Tier 9 explorers.

"Want to know our family? Heh… You’re not worthy." Christina snorted.

Clovis raised his hand, stopping Christina from playing. "That’s enough. We are here to gain some experience, not to argue."

"Yes, young master. Please forgive me." Christina politely lowered his head.

Then again, Clovis teaming up with Melody and Luci, who were also beautiful women, gave them the feeling of a real young master who kept flowers left and right. That was why a part of them believed Clovis was a young master of a very powerful family.

"Do you have the guts to mention your family name? Are you scared?" Gillian provoked him.

Christina wanted to say something, but Clovis stopped him once again. "There’s no need to entertain a clown."

A smile soon appeared on his face, as if all that serious face was just a lie. He waved his hand at the other group, including Jay’s. "Hello, guys. I’m Ivan from Frozen Crystal."

A muscular man stood up and shook Clovis’ hand. "Hello. I’m Andrew from Iron Roc."

Because of Aileen’s problem, Jay actually let Erwin be the group’s leader. Then again, he had the highest tier, so it wouldn’t be that weird for him to become a leader.

"Hello. I’m Ryan from Bloody Demon."

"Hoho. Nice to meet you guys! I’m looking forward to working together with you. Let’s make this hunt a success, shall we?" Clovis waved his hand.

"You bastard!" Gillian was angry at being ignored. He tried to grab Clovis’ shoulder to show him who was the boss, but all of a sudden, Christina grabbed his wrist.

Both of them glared at each other as Gillian tried to move his hand, but surprisingly, Christina didn’t budge. It was as if he was trying to move a mountain.

’What is this? This bitch…’ Gillian wanted to use his weapon, but Clovis’ voice soon echoed. "That’s enough. They’re about to start."

"Yes, young master." Christina snorted and immediately dragged Clovis away to safety.

As Clovis said, a bald, middle-aged man stood on top of a platform and shouted, "Everyone. From this point onward, we shall be moving according to your respective roles and heading to the Dark Plain, where we will take down the tier 7 Elasmotherium Sibiricum. Let’s move out!"
