Another World Mall-Chapter 947: Gerald’s Key

Gerald had gathered a few people in the meeting room. Behind him was a screen playing a video of a powerful technique.

"Is that… your sword technique?" A woman asked the man who was sitting next to her, her eyes still glued to the screen. "It looks stronger…"

"…" The man was a bit speechless, but it was indeed his sword technique, specifically his family's sword technique.

Then, there was a second video. It was a video of a spear technique, but just like the previous video, it originated from someone else in the room.

"That's my clan…"

They watched a few videos. They never thought Gerald had truly improved them. It wasn't a small improvement either. It was a big leap that could give their respective influences a considerable boost.

"Mr. Gerald Hacfield. What do you want from us in exchange for these techniques?"

Gerald calmly pointed at the screen. "As you can see, I've improved them. According to the agreement, I will be giving you the details of the ability in exchange for your cooperation. Of course, each of you will have two techniques improved.

"I will be giving the weaker technique first to show my sincerity and the second technique after we are done.

"My demand is simple. I want you to lead your own force and to intercept a force that is about to cause a ruckus in the hunting this time.

"All you have to do is bring 1 Tier 8 human and 5 Tier 7 humans to intercept them. It's that simple. Of course, my side is also working on it.

"At the very least, we should be able to handle all seven Tier 8 humans and twenty Tier 7 humans. There is a chance that they will be coming from other directions, but there are also reinforcements from another place. I can't tell you their number and strength to ensure the secrecy of this operation."

They fell silent. It wasn't a big problem.

First of all, Gerald had guaranteed that they could handle what was about to come. In other words, Gerald wanted them as an assurance.

Besides, the number of enemies wasn't that high. If they played their cards right, not only would they accomplish the task with no losses, but they would also get the upgraded version of their techniques.

The only thing that had to be considered was the hidden variable. Gerald wouldn't want them if he didn't consider the chance of a hidden variable.

In addition, since this was a hunting event, getting found out would cause a problem.

That was why he asked for a small number.

It was a reasonable offer, a bit tempting in fact.

Still, they didn't know who the attackers were. If Gerald was on the move, the enemy this time shouldn't be a small fish.

If they carelessly joined the battle, there was a chance they would end up provoking that big fish.

Still, if they hid their identity in one way or another, it would be fine.

"May I ask two questions, Mr. Gerald?" One of them raised his hand.

"Please." Gerald nodded.

"Is this an operation related to Sir Michael Hacfield?"

"No. However, he is paying close attention to this matter."

"!!!" This confirmation was huge. If Michael were observing, it meant he wouldn't allow any intervention from another Tier 9 human.

This meant they really could hide their identities this time.

"In that case, my second question is…" The man paused, hesitating for a moment. "How far do you intend to pursue this matter? Annihilate them? Capture on sight? Bodyguard duty?"

Gerald nodded in understanding. "Kill on sight. If you can kill more, it's welcome. In fact, if you are able to kill 1 Tier 8 human, I will upgrade one technique of your choice. Since normally, 1 Tier 8 human is equal to 5 Tier 7 humans, I will also do the same if you are able to kill 5 Tier 7 humans or 25 Tier 6 humans."

It was a generous offer from Gerald. This would make them even more excited. In fact, two influences might join hands to achieve such a result. They could simply offer a technique that could be shared between them.

There were six people in the room. If they could bring out a team each, it meant they would have 6 Tier 8 humans.

"Mr. Gerald. I have a hard time making decisions. I wonder if you can help me make this decision by answering my question. Do you come here because of an order from someone?"

The man wanted to see whether Gerald was just Michael's pawn. If not, it would be revenge. This would be enough to figure out what kind of enemy they were facing this time.

However, Gerald answered it in a way to make it vague but dispelled a bit of their doubts.

Gerald slammed the table with his fist, his tone filled with anger and killing intent leaked out of his eyes.

"There is a bastard who is trying to harm my son… the son that I have been forced to abandon for so many years. Now that there's no restriction anymore, do you think I can stop myself from killing those motherfuckers?!"

They were quite aware of the situation. Anyone who dug deep enough would find out that Clovis originally believed his parents had died.

It looked like Gerald came here for revenge, but it was revenge against himself, who had been forced to leave his son for so long. He could do nothing but watch over him from afar, no matter how worried he was.

The one who asked that question stood up. "I will join you."

"Me too!"

"I will join as well."

In the end, six of them joined. Gerald had carefully selected the people he invited since he couldn't afford to have a spy among them or someone who didn't join but leaked out the content of this cooperation.

That was why all the people here had a high chance of joining.

"Good." Gerald nodded, satisfied.
