Another World Mall-Chapter 977: Leaving

"…" Clovis raised his head, finding a familiar figure entering the room. "Maya."

Maya nodded. "The situation is quite chaotic. Soon, Tier 8 humans will surround this place. It's time for us to leave, Young Master."

"Has the path been secured?"

"Yes," confirmed Maya while opening the door wide.

"In that case, let's go." Clovis retracted his killing intent. Most people in this station have already passed out. Anyone who hadn't would be in no condition to do anything to Clovis.

So, Clovis and Maya walked to the exit casually.

Aileen noticed their arrival and immediately tossed Clovis' weapons.

"Thanks for waiting." Clovis nodded to Aileen. "How is the group?"

"They should have gone by now."

"Got it." Clovis turned to Maya. "We will now catch up to them. I need you to lead the way, Maya."

"Understood. Also, Young Master, there is one last message from your great-grandmother."

"What is it?"

"Even if you get the secret from the tower, don't destroy it. I don't know the kind of secret that you're looking for, but Madam Silvia should have seen it when our family still possessed the Tower of the Lake."

"Understood. I will keep that in mind." Clovis didn't know the kind of secret it was hiding, but destroying it might actually harm this world.

Although he was greedy for the secret, he wasn't willing to destroy this world for it.

"Then, this way." Maya immediately led them according to their original plan. They had to ensure that no one watched them.

Ultimately, they exited the town. Maya had prepared a car for both of them. The country had become chaotic, as so many people were leaving the city to find a much safer place.

It wouldn't be weird to have one more car leaving.

"Go to Checkpoint 2. That's our man. After this, please follow the original route and regroup with your people. The details about the tower will be delivered by our agents in Easton."

"Got it. Thanks." Clovis smiled. Before Maya walked away, Clovis added, "And Maya."

Maya halted her steps, wondering what he had to say.

"Be careful out there."

"!!!" Maya was slightly stunned. Those simple words reminded her of Lily. She had always said something similar whenever she had to go on a mission, no matter how easy it was.

Maya smiled. "Thank you, Young Master. You too."

Clovis then rolled up the window and started driving. Just like Maya said, the guards on the gate had been replaced by their inside men.

As a result, there was no inspection, allowing them to exit swiftly and smoothly.

Clovis followed the normal route first before changing his route midway.

Christina seemed to have regrouped with Kanaria and the others for a while.

"Sorry for the wait." Clovis raised his hand. "I'm sorry that our trip this time ends up taking another unexpected turn. However, our goal this time is one of the seven secret towers. I expect you to remain vigilant."

"By the way, what's going on with Angelia? Is she not going to join us?" Jay asked.

"She will be joining us in a month. For now, we will conquer the tower with the current members. Hopefully, we can get a clue or maybe break the Prophet's defense so that we can get another tower in the near future."

"This is interesting. I wonder what kind of truth that has been hidden from this world for so long…" Erwin grinned.

"Well, I probably don't have to tell you this, but you can tell your father about it, but please judge whether this information is suitable for him to know or not."

"I know. Don't worry. I won't give my father information that might kill him. I'm grateful to him." Erwin waved his hand, reassuring Clovis.

"All right. Let's depart." Clovis smiled. "I don't know what is waiting for us, but let's deal with the problem like we usually do."

After a short speech, Ragna immediately stepped on the gas.

The journey itself would take at least several days by wheel. Unfortunately, they couldn't use Hana's airship to travel this time, but since they would take turns, it shouldn't be too hard for them.

In addition, Silvia had prepared all the equipment they needed, including their food. Then again, they never needed food since Clovis could get it from Another World Mall.

Nevertheless, the fuel was extremely important. They had been placed on a road that no one used anymore, so there was no one who could track them.

In the meantime, Clovis monitored the chimpanzee's growth in the mall. The chimpanzee had gone through a series of intense training at the facility.

Although it had yet to become an expert swordsman, it could swing a sword like an elite.

Since they had taken Angelia, their firepower would increase drastically. However, this also meant they needed more people at the front.

The chimpanzee, whom Clovis named Freud, would be a good addition, but he wouldn't be enough.

That was why he wanted Mara to be the 12th member. With this, the elite group that Clovis envisioned would be completed.

Still, they needed to find Mara and defeat her first.

After seeing a portion of her power during the attack from four countries, Clovis knew it was impossible any time soon.

So, Clovis planned to focus on strengthening the group first and find out more about the towers.

He believed the tower would have some connection with the system since the system was the foundation of this world.

And since Mara wanted to know the truth about the system, she would definitely like to join their adventure.

…

The Libation Fiesta might have been a smooth journey, but the people in Absalom had to face numerous problems, especially Hana.

"Miss, our branches…" Her secretary entered while placing down the documents. "…have been attacked. Our stock price is getting hit."

"I know. Those countries are coming, aren't they? I know." Hana waved her hand, treating it as if it wasn't a big deal.

"No, Miss. You take a look at this. The one coming for us this time is from the east."

"!!!"
