Another World Mall-Chapter 524: Money
Clovis looked at the numerous corpses in front of him. After fifteen minutes and exhausting a lot of his stamina, he finally killed all those beasts.
It was fortunate that Reolf was here, allowing him to speed up.
"Ha… Ha…" Clovis’ hands were shaking after using the ranged attacks multiple times. Each of them required all his momentum, so it put a lot of strain on his arms.
Fortunately, Clovis could drink some water and put on bandages from Another World Mall, allowing him to recover a lot of his stamina within a short period of time. Of course, there was no way he would forget about Reolf.
It was pretty lucky that he could feed Reolf with items from Another World Mall without any problems.
"Good boy. Are you still good to go?" Clovis asked with a serious expression.
"Waaf!" Reolf nodded furiously.
"Alright. Unfortunately, we can’t go back to where they are right now since we don’t want you to be found yet. However, we can kite more beasts that are coming this way." Clovis thought for a moment.
Meanwhile, Reolf was pumped up for more action. It was quite hard for his body, but it was much better because it felt so rewarding.
"Are you going to evolve to Tier 3 soon, Reolf?" Clovis asked.
Reolf tilted his head in confusion. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem that he couldn’t check Reolf’s progression even with the items from Another World Mall. He could only keep feeding him until eventually he would evolve.
Still, it appeared that their resting time would have to be interrupted.
All of a sudden, they heard a lot of roars coming from a distance.
"!!!" Both Clovis and Reolf immediately turned around, staring at the distance as if they were calculating the number of beasts coming toward them.
"This doesn’t look good." Clovis frowned. "If they’re coming toward Kanaria and the others, it will be catastrophic. After all, both Kanaria and Jay must be in the middle of evolving to Tier 3."
Clovis wanted to gather the essence, but there was no time to waste. He hopped back to the top of Reolf and said, "I’m sorry, but I might have to push you a bit too hard, Reolf. We’ll have to bring them away as far as possible."
"Waaf!" Reolf agreed without hesitation, despite being fully aware that the enemies this time would be much more compared to the previous one.
Clovis nodded. "Alright. Let’s go! Keep listening to the sound in the air. Also, be extra careful when running on the plain field. There has been a lot of reinforcement coming from the headquarters.
We just have to hold on until they arrive without being spotted."
"Waaf!" Reolf immediately rushed to the incoming wave of beasts.
As Clovis said earlier, the number was actually much higher. In addition, both of them could see two Tier 5 beasts actually within the group.
"This looks much worse than I expected." Clovis’ expression turned grim. He needed to come up with a plan if he wanted to defeat these beasts by himself.
Clovis looked around. There was one big problem if they wanted to fight all these beasts, it was the fact they had been exhausted after the first wave.

"Even the items from Another World Mall have their limit." Clovis squinted his eyes. There was one possible thing he could try.
However, it might cause Hana to be suspicious of him.
"There’s no worse situation other than a complete wipeout." Clovis’ expression turned grim as he called Hana.
"Clovis? What is your condition right now?" Hana sounded worried. Considering he was in the middle of the battlefield, it was a given.
Clovis hesitated for a moment before asking, "If I ask for my royalty right now, do you think it can be done?"
Hana blinked a few times before raising her voice. "Are you insane?"
"No, not really."
Hana wanted to get angry, but she soon noticed that Clovis wouldn’t ask such a thing for no reason. In fact, he shouldn’t have even bothered to ask for this because she would hand it to him at the end of the month.
However, what if Clovis actually needed it for one reason or another? When she thought about it, the only possible situation was Clovis getting robbed. He needed a ransom.
Of course, talking about Clovis, there was no way that was the only possibility. He must have had other reasons that she couldn’t imagine.
And it had been shown by how much Clovis valued money but rarely spent it for real. In fact, most of their money was either stuck in his account or just spent by Kanaria.
Clovis could claim that he just saved the money so that Kanaria could use it in the future to fulfill her goal, but it didn’t make sense, especially since he had a close relationship with a conglomerate like her.
It was clear that Clovis’ obsession with money was due to something else. And this might be related to his secret.
That was why Hana asked, "Are you going to explain to me after this is done?"
Clovis had a wry smile. As expected, Hana figured it out. Unfortunately, there was only one answer to this question. "No."
He didn’t know whether he would give that information to Hana or not, especially since she wasn’t a part of her group.
"Alright." Hana nodded. "Give me five minutes."
"Can you do it faster? We might not have five minutes here."
"In that case, I will just send you some money for now. I’ll subtract the amount from the royalty I’m supposed to send you later."
"That works too."
"Alright." Hana immediately hung up and transferred the money.
Clovis didn’t know how much he would get, but his aim remained the same. He had to get enough money to upgrade his mall to open a new store.
He just hoped that this new store would be able to help him against those beasts.
With a single dull *ding* sound, Clovis checked his phone, specifically the message regarding the transfer.
