Another World Mall-Chapter 564: Complete Defeat

Christina continued hunting the beasts, but the lack of beasts was so apparent that the rest of them couldn’t help but notice them as well.

"Have we killed all the beasts here?"

"How about the other groups? Any reports from them?"

"This is weird. Is the other part of the island stealing our kills?"

"But we’re wearing this ring. It has a censor that will notify Sir Marhan we’ve passed the border."

Christina’s expression turned solemn. She had never thought the situation would turn out this way.

’What is going on? Is Clovis cheating? Then again, this is not considered cheating. If he is able to pull the beasts from our location, it’s simply his strategy. However, what kind of strategy does he have to be able to do such a thing? Does he have a method? Hana has a drone, so does the drone attack the beasts from our side?

’I don’t know what’s going on, but if Sir Marhan is watching, it should be pretty safe to assume that they haven’t broken any rules.’

Christina still didn’t know the gap between their points. In fact, in a real competition, it wouldn’t be weird for both parties not knowing each other’s condition, including their point.

This way, they would be using their strategy accordingly, fully aware that the other party might do better or worse. They might fall for the pressure and lose.

That was the kind of competition they had agreed upon.

However, Christina wondered what Clovis had done and his points compared to them.

They had killed a lot of beasts, even though there was a steep decrease in the beasts in their part of the island.

So, they should get pretty decent scores.

On the other hand, she didn’t think Clovis had the ability to kill all the beasts with only that number.

’Something is missing. I feel like there’s a trap… What is this?’ Christina gritted her teeth. She knew Clovis had done something big, but she couldn’t figure out what happened.

Meanwhile, Clovis and the others were taking their time with their lunch.

"Today is the last day. It’s a good hunt, right?" Clovis asked. "We have Reolf becoming Tier 3 too. Also, Luci, get away from Reolf."

"What? How can I get away from this fluffy ball?" Luci hugged Reolf. Since his size increased, Reolf had become a bit more hairy. In addition, Reolf definitely needed a bigger space in their bus because of his size. In the future, they might even need a special vehicle to transport Reolf.

Hopefully, when that happened, Clovis had shown Reolf to the entire world.

Clovis sighed. "Yeah. Said that after wiping your drool."

"Ah!" Luci hurriedly wiped it. It was clear that she was trying to dissect Reolf or at least get his blood’s sample.

"Anyway, we’ll be going back this evening, so that means there won’t be any hunting during the night. We’ll just spend the rest of the day hunting the rest of the beasts or… should we go to the elevator? I’m kind of curious about it."

"Oh! Let’s have a tour. We have done our best, so I think we deserve some touring time!" Hana raised her hand, supporting the idea.

"Let’s just wait until there’s one hour left. It’s plenty of time either way. And it’s not like we can go down." Kanaria shook her head.

Hana pouted. Then again, she couldn’t complain because of the ring. She had to find a way to get another item from Clovis.

The more she knew him, the more mysterious he became. At one point, she just wanted to open Clovis up to see everything he had.

In the end, the group continued to hunt beasts, not realizing that they had a huge gap with Christina’s group.

They had done their best, so whether they won or not, it didn’t really matter to Clovis.

However, Clovis had used one clever trick.

The first time they utilized Reolf’s provocation, he started from the north.

He then set up the second provocation south of that location. He gradually moved south and thinned out the numbers of beasts around the border between two groups. This way, he had full control over the beasts in the deeper region, allowing him to kill more beasts compared to Christina.

After seven days of hunting, the group received their signal to retreat to the shore where they first departed.

Marhan had been waiting for them.

He maintained his calm face. Although he was disappointed that Christina lost, he realized Ezekiel’s arrangement had to be prioritized. Then again, he was recruited by Ezekiel personally, so he was more loyal to Ezekiel than Lues or Christina.

Still, when he looked at his tab, he was amazed by the scores.

Marhan looked at both of them and said, "Since you have returned, I’ll be announcing the winner. Is there anything you’d like to say to each other first?"

Christina turned to Clovis with a smile. "A clever trick you’ve used there. To think I would be falling for that trick…"

"I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"You precisely know what I’m talking about. If not, we wouldn’t have lost. Isn’t that right?" Christina turned to Marhan, asking for confirmation.

"What?"

"We have lost?!"

"For real?"

The people from the Elseingarde family looked confused. No one expected they would lose, especially with this number.

Marhan smiled wryly. He projected the scores while shouting, "I don’t even know how the gap becomes this big."

Libation Fiesta: 845,760 points.

Elseingarde: 398,400 points.

"!!!" Everyone from the Elseingarde family dropped their jaws to the ground.

Why did they not get even half of their points? This defeat was such a humiliation. Was their family that inferior compared to the Libation Fiesta?

Christina sighed. "I expected that we would lose, but not this much. This is a complete defeat."

"Welcome to the Libation Fiesta." Clovis smirked.

"No way! We should have won. It’s because you’re cheating! That trick you confirmed—!"

One of them tried to protest, but Christina raised her hand, stopping him. "Even without that trick, he could’ve won. Isn’t that right, sir Marhan?"

Marhan nodded. "During our observation, whenever he used the ’trick’ I don’t know of, their score would jump. But when he didn’t use it, the rate of their points increasing was still higher than all of you. It was a complete defeat. The trick was for assurance."
