"They’re still hiding the news about it, but I’ve come to make sure about it. It looks like the eleventh Tier 9 human in this world has been born."

"!!!"

Clovis and the others were shocked. A new Tier 9 human was born. It meant a lot of things. After Mara, this person was the new generation of Tier 9 humans. In other words, more and more Tier 9 humans would be born. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

They would replace the older generation of Tier 9 humans, but considering that more and more people possess unique abilities, it was only natural for more Tier 9 humans to be born.

In the future, it wouldn’t be just ten Tier 9 humans. There would be twenty or even thirty.

Although they were still extremely rare, they wouldn’t be as rare as they were in this era.

Still, Clovis and the others knew they also had the chance to become a Tier 9 human.

The biggest hurdle to becoming Tier 9 humans was the beasts. There weren’t many Tier 8 beasts. If they could find one, they would have to take care of other beasts as well, so the potential for injury was quite high.

If they were injured, other people might try to harm them. If they were harmed, they couldn’t evolve.

In the end, it created a vicious cycle. Still, there were bound to be people who managed to break that cycle and step into Tier 9.

On the other hand, Clovis had his mall, which could support the team by giving them the food that would contain the beast essence.

It would be quite slow as he had to split it among too many people, but they would definitely become Tier 9 humans in the future.

The problem would be whether they had the chance to become one or not. The enemy might kill them first.

Clovis realized this was the reason why Michael even mentioned it to them.

"Grandpa..." Clovis gasped. "Is the new Tier 9 human..."

Michael nodded with a serious expression. "There’s a high chance that he may have received the help of the Prophet. In other words, this guy might also come to fight us as a secret weapon.

"If not for your great-grandmother, we might not be able to find this information. Fortunately, we found it early, so we could make preparations.

"Still, this is not looking good for us. That’s why I came here to warn you guys. You need to be extra careful when you go outside next time."

Clovis’ expression turned solemn. The others also understood the danger this time. There was a chance the Prophet would utilize this new Tier 9 human to attack them.

If they didn’t know about his existence, they would focus on the existing Tier 9 humans, only to be ambushed by the new one.

That was why the situation looked extremely dangerous for them.

Clovis looked down. It looked like he had to adjust his strategy a little bit.

"I understand. Thank you for the warning, Grandpa."

"For the time being, you should get stronger. I know that you are strong already, but I’ve heard from Ezekiel that you are still nowhere near a Tier 9. So, for now, you shouldn’t leave the country. Focus on increasing the number of Tier 8s in your group."

Clovis nodded. "Yes, I will do so."

"Good. In that case, my job is done here." Michael smiled. "I will be staying in this country for a few days. If you want to ask me anything, just come to Jeremy Skylark. He will bring you to me."

"But do you have the information about this new Tier 9 human?"

Michael turned to Vina. "Ask her."

"Ah!" Vina nodded furiously. She had come here to inform Clovis about Stefany, but it turned out there was new information about a new Tier 9. She had to check it with Silvia after this.

"Thank you." Clovis politely bowed.

Michael chuckled before patting his head, messing with his hair slightly. "See you around."

Once Michael was gone, Clovis suddenly realized the situation they were in. "We have to help the Dark Moon Mercenary while watching for this new guy?"

"We have to adjust the plan, or we bring the battle here. I don’t know." Melody shook her head.

"I guess this is the end of the meeting." Clovis clapped his hands before turning to Melody. "Should we discuss this later?"

"Sure." Melody agreed.

Once everyone had dispersed, Clovis couldn’t help but think of a solution. There was one solution that might work, but it was a gamble. He had to unlock the next level of Another World Mall.

’This is the only way, I guess? Judging from the number of stores left, Another World Mall’s max level should be 40. So, that means there are only a few levels left. If I can unlock the full potential of Another World Mall, I might find something useful.’

It would require so much money, but he had no other choice.

Clovis kept thinking about the solutions, but it was hard to find other solutions against a Tier 9 human. Even when he discussed it with Melody in bed, both of them couldn’t figure out a way to counter the Tier 9 human.

All of a sudden, after being tired of thinking, Clovis fell asleep, but this sleep was unlike any sleep he had had before.

Clovis thought he was dreaming, but he was woken up because of a voice.

"You guys should take care of this project. I will take care of the city that he has built so that when he comes back, everything he has built will still be here."

Clovis was startled. He could recognize this voice. Although it sounded a bit deeper, as though it came from an older woman, this voice definitely belonged to Kanaria.

"I will help her guard the city. I don’t plan to remain in his shadow forever. When he can’t be in charge, I should take care of the problems for him."

It was even more shocking because this voice belonged to Jay. The same as the previous voice, this voice sounded like it came from a slightly older Jay.

Clovis suddenly woke up and rose from the bed. He looked left and right, only to see the sleeping Melody next to him.

"Ugh..." Clovis suddenly covered his ears as voices continued to ring in his mind. His head felt like splitting because of all these voices. "Aaahhhh!"
