Another World Mall-Chapter 543: Impact
*Boom!*
A series of explosions occurred, destroying a tall building to the ground.
On another side of the city, there was a man who suddenly got stabbed in the chest, causing him to die without realizing what happened. The culprit casually walked away, as the CCTV had been destroyed long before it happened.
The police were receiving a lot of reports, which caused great unrest in the city.
"Sir. The Necrox Tower has been destroyed."
"Two people from the alliance have been killed."
"Sir…"
The reports continued pouring in, frustrating the police chief.
"These bastards. They know this is the best time to make a move. Once Sir Ezekiel is hiding for recuperation, they are coming to attack. Are they not afraid of what will happen to them after this?"
Not only in this country, but Ezekiel’s enemy, Lucas, also suffered a heavy injury. The situation could be said to be as chaotic as this country.
This disturbance caused the economies of the two countries to drop.
Obviously, this resulted in world-wide news.
After completing the task in the mine, Clovis had been hunting in various locations, trying to increase his strength as quickly as possible.
He took advantage of the peaceful time where the academy stopped anyone from trying to harm him to get stronger.
Of course, he also took advantage of the privilege from the academy. Although he hadn’t made any big moves, the dean couldn’t care less. After all, he knew Clovis’ strength was increasing by leaps and bounds. When Clovis decided to show his strength one more time, people would be shocked.
Two months had passed. Before the banquet, Hana asked Clovis and Kanaria to meet them.
"How were the last two months?" Hana asked.
"It was very productive."
"Good. The world was not very productive though." Hana projected some news, showcasing the impact the battle between two Tier 9s would produce.
"Hmm. This is…" Clovis couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows.

"Yep. The world is avoiding these two countries. Despite the full effort from the government, those two countries are undergoing a ’Mafia Syndrome.’
"It’s basically where everyone thinks they can do something while the Tier 9 human is recuperating from his injuries."
Clovis frowned. "Won’t that make the situation worse for them? What will happen once Tier 9 returns?"
"That’s exactly why it’s called ’Mafia Syndrome’ right now. It’s basically a cat-and-mouse game. Once they have profited from this situation, they will leave as far as possible. Even the Tier 9 won’t be able to catch them all.
"If he chases them too much, there’s a chance he will be tricked and fall into a trap, which would deteriorate his condition again. This time, another Tier 9 will come, fully aware he could take them down.
"That’s why they are not necessarily enough to suppress these people. And in most cases, the Tier 9 will just let this slide as long as the situation calms down."
Clovis carefully examined the condition. "I see. That’s definitely concerning. And why would you mention this problem? I mean, it’s true that my grandfather is one of those Tier 9 humans, but I don’t think there’s a need for this kind of thing, right?"
"Not necessarily." Hana took out the list of the guests this time. "In the banquet, there will be a lot of important people coming.
"For example, Christina Elseingarde and Lues Elseingarde. They are the son and the granddaughter of Tier 9 Ezekiel Elseingarde. The man who is said to be the sturdiest man in the world."
"Elseingarde?" Clovis frowned.
"Yes. He is one of the Tier 9s involved in that battle. He’s probably coming to find a new connection or maybe getting the new beast soul from me. I’m thinking about taking advantage of this situation to get you what you want."
"What I want?"
"Yep. You guys want to go to the beach, right? Elseingarde’s headquarters is located near the shore. I think it’s fine to go there if you really want it." Hana nodded. "And I will have enough reason to go with you guys."
"Oh!" Clovis nodded in understanding.
"Aside from them, there are four people who are backed by Tier 8 or being Tier 8 themselves. However, I want you to focus on this person." Hana pointed at a single name.
"Alandecker?"
"Yes. This guy has a clue about your father."
"!!!" Clovis widened his eyes in shock before nodding his head. "I see. It seems this banquet will be much more interesting than I originally thought."
"No. It is beyond that. The banquet itself is separated into three stages. The first will be the banquet, where people eat and drink, know each other, or maybe dance. The second session will be the bloody battle.
"It will probably be battles between younger generations. This usually happens for the influences trying to show off their heirs or heiresses. This will also be a slap for others who lose to them. I dislike it, but well, I don’t really care at this point. If you want to participate, just tell me about it.
"The last will be held the next day. It is a charity auction. I haven’t gotten the item list, so I don’t know what to buy. However, the people who are attending this banquet are required to put an item for the auction.
"I put five batches of ten quotas for the new beast soul. This time, each beast soul will be at least Tier 6 or Tier 7. My grandfather is providing me with the beast soul. Maybe you can take out your painting and sell it there… I’m sure it can reach at least one billion."
It was definitely tempting, considering he could use it for Another World Mall. Unfortunately, Clovis shook his head.
"That’s what I’d like to do, but there will simply be endless trouble. Not only Tier 8, but Tier 9 people will come for such a painting. For now, it’s better to strengthen the allies. Maybe once I manage to meet my parents, the situation will change. And I can be bolder."
"That’s understandable. If you don’t want to do anything, it’s fine. I can handle the rest."
"Hmm…" Clovis looked down, wondering if he could bring out anything.
