"Are you insane?"

The entire team simply couldn’t believe what they had just heard. Why would Clovis think that having his grandfather’s love rival would be a good idea?

Clovis, on the other hand, didn’t agree with their sentiment. Back when they met, Kayne offered to help.

Kayne didn’t seem to be an insincere person to him. Of course, asking him for a favor would also mean owing him a great deal.

However, he didn’t look like someone who would take advantage of Clovis too much. It was a considerable favor, but it was something that Clovis could afford.

In the worst-case scenario, he would be parting with another painting.

In any case, if Kayne hated him, he would have tried to kill him instead of kidnapping him in the past.

Hence, Clovis thought it would be a good alternative in case his original plan didn’t work.

Clovis didn’t explain himself further. It was the responsibility of the leader to take care of their connections.

Once everything settled, he dismissed everyone so that they could continue their vacations. There were still a lot of things that the group needed to do. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

With the reconstruction of the second fallen city, the president felt happy because his investment had paid off.

The fact that the Libation Fiesta could take down one of the cities with the highest danger level in the country meant a lot.

It was good as a publicity campaign, showing that the government was more than capable of taking care of its problems. With more space opened up, jobs would appear and people would start to relocate.

It would only be a matter of time before the next fallen city was recaptured. And they could do it without suffering any losses.

It was true that Clovis would get the biggest payout thanks to the reconstruction business, but it was the president’s job to sort it out.

Hence, Hana and Kanaria began to plan their expansion.

Meanwhile, Jay led the people who wanted to focus on their personal growth. After knowing what was supposed to be done, Ragna changed his training menu, trying to become the second immortal. Erwin and Aileen were the same. They couldn’t do much in this battle.

Aileen was tricky, but she couldn’t take much advantage of her pseudo unique ability. On the other hand, Erwin was completely powerless against Ezekiel.

Last but not least, Angelia. Angelia always dreamed of fighting against a Tier 9 human. Even if she lost, she wanted people to know that she had done her best, and the Tier 9 human would have a hard time against her.

Unfortunately, it turned out that the gap between her and Ezekiel was too big, not to mention the fact that Ezekiel might actually be the weakest Tier 9 human in the world.

So, Angelia was fired up.

Reolf and Freud had a harder time. Reolf might have reached Tier 7, but Freud had yet to become one. Reolf was focusing on comprehending more beast souls, while Freud kept asking Clovis for food.

Rea, on the other hand, didn’t feel that bad. In the first place, her role was pretty distinct compared to everyone else.

With her size and body weight, it wouldn’t be weird for her to pack so much punch. At the same time, Rea’s role was to control the battlefield. Her flying ability was perfect as a distraction.

No one could do it better than Rea, so Rea didn’t have any big challenges yet.

Melody and Vina had to work together so that they could track down Mara.

Meanwhile, Rin was not pressured by her own shortcomings. It was true that she couldn’t do much in the battle, but her original role was that of a chef.

In addition, she already had a few plans in mind so as to not be a burden to the team.

Luci was slightly different. She was the team’s doctor, but she played an active role as a vanguard.

Her eyes were sharp enough to show the weakness of the target. However, she realized that even with her sharp eyes, she couldn’t figure out Ezekiel’s weakness.

There might be times she couldn’t find any weakness in her opponents, so she really needed something that allowed her to be more useful.

Being a doctor wasn’t enough for Luci. Clovis had given her all the privileges to get anything she wanted, including her personal lab.

So, Luci thought about repaying him by putting in her earnest efforts.

During the vacation, Clovis had to do a few things. The first one was to show the paintings to the elite of the Elseingarde family.

This agreement allowed him to see which painting he should give to the Elseingarde family.

Although he was thinking about giving another painting to his brides’ families, he couldn’t really do it. Only the Elseingarde family had enough power to stop it from being stolen.

So, Clovis planned to give different things from the respective families.

The second job was to discuss the future with the Elseingarde family. In the end, Christina belonged to this family. She would eventually take over the family.

So, there was a high chance that Christina would end up staying in this place more than with him.

Hence, Clovis was discussing all the possibilities with Ezekiel.

His last goal was obviously to discuss the wedding. Although there were a lot of things that needed to be done, he still couldn’t ignore the wedding.

Their discussion abruptly ended last time, but this time Clovis had explained his situation.

Ezekiel understood his situation and readjusted his plan. Since the Elseingarde family was considered the strongest among his wives’ families, he needed to give Ezekiel that much face.

Nevertheless, there were things he wouldn’t budge on. Ezekiel understood that Clovis could become more stubborn than even his grandfather, so he accepted Clovis’ terms.

Although the date hadn’t been finalized yet, Clovis and Ezekiel agreed that they should marry in two to three years. That was the longest that Ezekiel was willing to wait, and Clovis agreed.

With this, the trip to the Elseingarde family had been concluded.
