Another World Mall-Chapter 932: Indirect Challenge

*Clack!*

The door was opened by a man in his late twenties.

"Yo, isn't this our famous ice princess?"

There were already three people sitting in the room, all of them being Tier 8 humans.

The one coming was also another Tier 8 human.

The woman he was talking about was the brunette with sharp eyes and a cold expression sitting in the room. She just glanced at him without saying anything.

"We are here not to chat." Another man reminded him in a stern voice while fixing his glasses.

"You're so uptight as usual, Roonie." The man scoffed as he walked toward his seat.

"That's enough. We are not here for your little talk. We're here to talk about the cooperation between our countries."

"That's why I'm here instead of anyone else." Before he could run his mouth again, the third and most important person finally spoke.

"That's enough, Jun."

"..." Jun's body shook as he looked at this man with sweat coming out of his back. "Well, for you to be doing this personally, I guess the other party is a bit concerning."

The glasses guy took out a document. "We have heard that Clovis Hacfield, the rising star, will be coming to this event."

"I have heard of him. The one who managed to take down Iskandar Anatas, a Tier 7 human with a unique ability." Jun rolled his eyes. "He's good, but he's not a threat to us. Just look at this lineup.

"I am the famous Jun, you know? I've been a Tier 8 human for three years, and I also have a pseudo unique ability. This ice princess is the same as me. We've been dominating in our respective countries, right, Angelia?"

Angelia only looked away as if he didn't want to hear whatever he was saying.

Jun pointed toward the glasses guy. "Besides, you are the same, Roonie, though your position as the top in your generation was snatched by our Raven here. Right, Raven? Why don't you show off your unique ability again?

"From what I've seen, that guy was struggling against Iskandar, so there's no way he could be a match for you, right?"

"That's enough of the talk." Raven finally opened his mouth again. His voice was deep and cold, as if telling him to shut up if he didn't want to make him angry.

Jun shrugged.

"Don't forget that he is Clovis Hacfield. In other words, he might not be my match, but he has Christina as his fiancee. Michael Hacfield alone is already a headache. Are you going to add Ezekiel Elseingarde into the mix?"

"Neither of them is going to do anything. After all, they have been kept in check this whole time."

"There is also Mara Leverstrike," Angelia added softly.

"Mara Leverstrike is known as the walking disaster. We don't even know where she is, let alone him. She might be on the other side of the world, so why should we worry about her? Besides, there's no clear relationship between them other than the rumor about her teaching him."

"So… does that mean you are alright with the plan?" Raven narrowed his eyes.

"Plan? What plan?" Jun frowned.

"We are going to announce that you, Jun, and your country are openly challenging Clovis Hacfield. All of us here will watch what unfolds from the side."

"What?" Jun widened his eyes in shock. "You…"

"You…what?!" Raven hit the table while glaring at Jun. "Stop with the cheap provocation. Do you think I don't know what you're doing? If you want to challenge him, do it yourself. Don't try to use us."

Jun gritted his teeth, but he couldn't say anything back.

"Still, we can't really let him do whatever he wants, right?" Angelia asked. "After all, our original intention is to get the mining rights."

Roonie nodded in agreement. "That's why we are discussing it here."

"Mhmm…" Angelia fell into deep thought.

Roonie raised one finger. "We will be fighting against him, but in a more reasonable way. In the past, the people who challenged him were stronger than him, but they still lost. The result of that loss was much higher than normal.

"Hence, we will compete with him in another way. The Libation Fiesta is known for its aggressive hunting, which is why it is able to reach this far with that speed.

"However, we are still far superior to them, so we will challenge them indirectly by using this method. If we hunt more than them and get more mining rights, it will reflect our own ability.

"From what we can see, Absalom plans to use this assembly to create an image for Clovis, so if we manage to get ahead of him this time, that image won't be as high as it seems.

"At the same time, since we won't be provoking him directly, we will have no direct loss during the assembly whether we win or not.

"Last but not least, we'll circulate a rumor regarding this showdown, but we will never confirm it. This will make people conscious of the showdown. Any objections?"

"So, we're not going to challenge him? You guys are boring." Jun gritted his teeth. "If you are going to do it like this, just do it in your own way. I'll do it my own way. When I succeed, it'll be too late for you guys to get the benefit."

Jun harrumphed and stood back up before leaving the room in contempt.

"..." Roonie was a bit shocked by Jun's reaction. This was an agreement between three countries so that they could win, but he didn't expect that Jun would just get out like this. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

He first looked scared when he told them to fight against Clovis on his own, but he suddenly flipped his character and showed his confidence in challenging Clovis.

Jun might be a Tier 8, but he only had a pseudo unique ability, not a unique ability. It might backfire on him.

Raven tapped the table a few times before saying, "Roonie. Try to talk with his country behind him and check their position. If it's still the same, they might have a secret plan."

"On it."
