Chapter 844 844: Leaving
"Emergency meeting!" Michael shouted. "Aisha. Find out about their trip right away. I want you to find it and tell me about it. I'm going there right now."
"But Father, aren't you on the other side of the world?"
"Listen here. You don't understand anything. You don't know how scary that person can be. It's easier to handle a ballistic missile or two than face her. Just get that information right now. I'm on my way."
"..." Aisha had definitely seen her father-in-law acting like this before, but she never knew the truth.
Still, it was truly amusing. Normally, Michael would be stern and act as if nothing affected him in this world.
But when this matter was brought to attention, he would go insane like this.
Aisha shook her head helplessly. On the one hand, her son just wanted to meet his great-grandmother. On the other hand, there was an order from his father-in-law.
"Well, my son definitely deserves to know his great-grandmother, who he doesn't even know is still alive to this day. At the same time, I should inform him about the trip, so I guess I should inform him about the trip." Aisha shrugged while rolling his eyes. "No matter what Father has, it's not like Grandma can't beat him to it."
…
While the whole family was panicking, Clovis was just done with the party. Thanks to the party, Rin bonded with the group right away.
All that was left was the Three Swords. Since the succession battle had ended, it was time to conclude the event here.
"This is the official record that the succession battle has ended." Clovis presented the written record from the Dark Supreme.
"In that regard, I shall bear the burden that Stefany has previously." Vina stood up.
"Now that the Three Swords is our ally…" Clovis took out a contract. "...your wish to expand to the east. We will help it. This is the contract for the plot of land at the center of my city. You may establish your headquarters there if you want to expand to the west."
"Well, this…" Eid definitely didn't expect Clovis to pull out a contract like this. He thought about doing the same thing for Clovis, but Clovis' sincerity was on a whole different level.
This was a new city. Clovis had the exclusive right to the underworld around it, which would be a good place for training.
Besides, with Clovis as the ruler, he would have the obligation to protect everything inside, meaning it would be a pretty safe headquarters.
Clovis was also very young, so his rule wouldn't change for decades.
"I…" Eid didn't think the gift he prepared was enough for Clovis.
"You don't need to give me anything. It's just… Hana is making a new headquarters here, right?"
"Ah!" Eid nodded in understanding. "We'll ensure the security."
"That's good enough for me. The Libation Fiesta has no intention of expanding east, but it doesn't mean we won't travel to the east. Just help me travel around here from time to time."
"Sounds like a deal." Eid accepted the offer and extended his hand. "It looks like there are a lot of things to learn from you, Clovis."
"The feeling is the same." Clovis shook his hand.
Vina knew that this couldn't be achieved without Clovis' help. No, to get the Three Swords, it was her duty to prepare a plot of land from Clovis. But that would require another negotiation with him and another price to pay.
Yet, Clovis didn't hesitate to offer the land himself.
Vina felt like she had gone from Clovis owing her to her owing Clovis too much.
Stefany, on the other hand, remained silent, observing their conversation. She realized Clovis was generous to his allies and ruthless to his enemies. It showed that taking his offer was indeed a good deal for her.
However, she didn't know of any intimate relationship between Clovis and Vina. So, she definitely had the chance to take over the Dark Moon Mercenary.
After all, the key to claiming that seat was in Clovis' hand.
Of course, that required her fulfilling her oath first.
Clovis stood up. "In that case, I will be looking forward to the day we will be working together again, Eid, Nart."
"Indeed. At that time, I hope that the Libation Fiesta can take the lead again. We'll discuss this matter with our masters and maybe start the expansion in a year or so."
Clovis nodded. "I will excuse myself then. I have another place to visit."
"Oh my. Do you need any help?"
"No, it's okay." Clovis waved his hand.
After having another handshake, they went their separate ways.
Vina came to Clovis. "Thank you, Clovis."
"You're welcome. Since you're done with the succession battle here…"
"Yeah. I will be busy for a bit to handle all the transfers and other things." Vina nodded. "However, if you need my help, just send me a message."
"Alright." Clovis wanted to go, but suddenly, Stefany called him. "Clovis."
"Yeah?"
Stefany hesitated for a moment before saying, "Working for her might be a punishment, but I certainly owe you my life to a certain degree. That's why this is unrelated to her or anyone else.
"I'm going to repay you for saving my life. If you ever need some connections, be it presidents of companies or high-ranking officials, you can ask me about it. I might have a way to help you.
"I know that you have Hana Skylark with you, but Hana's connection is limited to her business partner. Mine extends both to the ones basking in the sunlight and the ones hiding in the shadow."
"Well, I will take you up on your offer if I truly need it." Clovis nodded before heading to the bus.
It was unfortunate that Hana hadn't returned, but it was time for him to go. He told Hana to visit the Stergern if she had time, but she could return directly to Absalom if she couldn't make it.
Either way, the group had decided to travel across borders on land. It might take a few days from the trip alone, but it had been decided to visit the so-called great-grandmother.
"But Father, aren't you on the other side of the world?"
"Listen here. You don't understand anything. You don't know how scary that person can be. It's easier to handle a ballistic missile or two than face her. Just get that information right now. I'm on my way."
