Another World Mall-Chapter 850 - 7 Towers

They were quite surprised. Each of them received a gift from Silvia, and the gift was something they’d never thought of before.

She was probably the only one who could give such gifts. Nevertheless, they benefited a lot from this gift.

Even Christina couldn’t contain herself and sent the information to her grandfather right away.

Clovis decided to take a walk with his great-grandmother. Since Clovis had visited this place, Michael had no more reason to stay, so he took his leave after she handed over the gifts.

Just to make sure everything remained safe, he kept a watch on Harrison to ensure he didn’t pull anything before leaving the country.

While pushing her wheelchair around the garden, Clovis asked, "Great-grandma. Was Grandma good?"

"Lily was the best daughter I could ever imagine. Do you know that Lily was not only the best in her school but also an athlete? Of course, I’m talking about the time before the apocalypse."

"I don’t know. I feel like everything changes a lot after the apocalypse. What kind of life did you have before the apocalypse?"

"I heard you want to find the truth about this world, my dear."

"Yes. I have found several clues, so I’m going to chase my dream. I want to know what we are... What is actually the world beyond this world that is said to be a simulation?"

Silvia paused for a moment. "There is a lot of speculation about it. Some people who don’t know how to find the truth will come to the conclusion that some extraterrestrial creatures put that notice or there might be some conspiracy behind the scenes to fool the entire world.

"If you lived before the apocalypse, you would know that such a conspiracy could easily be broken.

"Esferath family, we were not a small family, you know?"

"How big was it?" Clovis tilted his head in confusion.

Silvia had a sad smile on her face. "We were quite a big one. You could say an oligarch."

"Controlling the entire country?"

"Two, in fact."

"That was big, much bigger than I originally thought. No, was it bigger than the peak of the Hacfield family?"

"You could say that, but we never had to worry about beasts back then, so it was much easier. Unfortunately, the moment the apocalypse happened, our headquarters got nuked."

"Nuked?" Clovis raised his eyebrows. "You mean... nuked?"

"I once lived in Molvalo. Do you recognize that place?"

"Molvalo... Isn’t that one of the biggest regions of a superpower country, Veracia?" Clovis raised his head, recalling the information.

"Yeah. More than 30 Tier 8 beasts emerged from that place back then. If it were allowed to continue, the entire country might collapse. And that place became the first region on Earth to be nuked.

"That was where my husband, your great-grandfather, lost his life."

"Oh..." Clovis looked down. He didn’t know what kind of person his great-grandfather was, but it looked like he was a splendid person. After all, Silvia had a soft tone when she mentioned him.

"I tried to survive, but the second headquarters, which was located in another country, faced another challenge. That place was the first place where a Tier 9 beast appeared in this world."

"!!!" Clovis widened his eyes in shock. "The First Tier 9..."

"Yes. The first Tier 9 beast in the world. Your grandfather became famous and recognized as a Tier 9 in the world after defeating that beast."

"Ah?!" Clovis looked at his sword.

"That was made from the cranium of that beast."

"There is something I have been wondering. You mentioned the appearance of the first Tier 9 in the world, but this one was a fish... Do you mean it appeared in the underworld?" Clovis asked.

Silvia smiled. "Because that place was the only tower with aquatic travel."

"Huh?" Clovis was stupefied. "Aquatic travel?"

"You should know that there are seas and lakes in the underworld, right?"

"Yes." Clovis nodded.

"Normally, it was impossible for the water to flow upward, but that place was different. The bottom of the tower was actually a massive lake.

"The water somehow flowed up, which created another lake on the surface. The very first time your grandfather was known as a madman was because he challenged a fish in the water.

"Though, that story had been erased completely by the person who occupied that place."

"Someone occupied that place? But if we were talking about your home country, wasn’t this place..."

"Yeah. This was the country where your grandparents met each other. The original location of the Hacfield family.

"The Hacfield family’s mansion was once located at the very center of that lake. However, after that attack, all kinds of information about the lake vanished. The one responsible for that..." Silvia paused.

Clovis could only think of one person. "The Prophet?"

"Correct." Silvia nodded. "That place was the reason your grandfather even thought about finding the truth about this world.

"In fact, there used to be 7 wonders of the world, but after the apocalypse, we knew 7 towers of the world.

"Those seven towers were different from other towers in the world. If one could find out the truth about those 7 towers, they might find the truth about this world."

"!!!" Clovis had never heard about this. "There were 7 towers that had such principles?"

"Yes. For some reason, the information about them was hidden. From what I found, the Prophet was the one convincing the world leaders to seal off their information."

"The Prophet?" Clovis gasped. Who was actually the Prophet? He knew his title, but there wasn’t much information about him.

"That man attacked my daughter without any apparent reason. When I investigated it, I couldn’t find anything.

"But the seven towers might actually be related to the reason your mother was attacked."

Clovis couldn’t deny the possibility. The Hacfield family once possessed one of the seven towers.

It looked like there was a much bigger conspiracy hidden in this world. And he knew that the Prophet might be the link to open that Pandora’s box.

Silvia shook her head helplessly. "If you are thinking about aiming for them right away, don’t even try it. You will die before you know it. But if you still want to pursue your goal, reach Tier 6 first. I will give you a clue about the first place you want to visit to pursue your dream."
