Chapter 716: Enemy
"Thank you for helping me with this problem." A woman politely bowed to three people. These three people had extraordinary strength. The first one was none other than Jeremy Skylark, a Tier 8 businessman.
While it was true that he had spent a lot of time expanding his business, he was still considered to be one of the strongest in the country.
The second person was none other than Alan. He had been helping with any problem related to Clovis and could be considered a great ally in this country.
Last but not least, it was a middle-aged woman. She once appeared together with Alan, helping Clovis enter this country for the first time.
She had never helped Clovis again after that, but there was no other choice but to involve such a person this time. She was known as a Tier 8 human who mastered the will of the blade, Karin.
"It's not a problem. I have to do my part as well. As long as Clovis treats my granddaughter well, I don't mind dying today." Jeremy waved his hand casually.
Alan chuckled. "I won't be here today if the Hacfield family doesn't help me, so it's time for me to repay it."
"I'm just here for those ten blade books for my family." Karin shook her head. "But to think that you have been in this country the whole time, Lady Aisha?"
Yes, the one who requested them to come was none other than Aisha Hacfield, Clovis' mother.
Karin couldn't help but squint her eyes.
Aisha smiled. "I'm here just to help. I won't bother the three of you. As long as we can stop them here, it's good enough."
"But what about those kids? They're going to face a bigger opponent, you know?" asked Jeremy.
"I'm not entirely sure, but my husband is making his move. Besides, we have informed our father, but the only thing he told us is that everything will be fine."
"!!!" They couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"Is he going to make his appearance?" Karin asked.
"If he comes to this country, there will be a huge fight that might destroy one or two cities… We might have to update the map because of them…" Alan smiled wryly.
"No. He won't come. If he comes, no one can stop other Tier 9 humans." Jeremy shook his head. "Anyway, I don't think I can find the reason today, so I will just have to trust that decision this time. Hopefully, the kids will be alright so that I don't regret this decision in the future."
Aisha nodded. "Yes. That's what I'm hoping for as well."
…
Just like Aisha, Gerald had arrived, but knowing the brutal nature of the Berserker, Gerald had no choice but to stop him right outside the city, specifically Clovis' city, Entel.
He had two people assisting him. The first one was the elder that helped Vina this whole time. The second person was none other than the person who loved talent the most in this country, Radric.
"Thank you for the help." Gerald smiled politely.
"Hahaha. To think that Clovis is indeed from the Hacfield family. To meet the greatest martial genius of all time, Gerald Hacfield, is truly an honor." Radric laughed wholeheartedly.
As someone who loved talents, Gerald was obviously at the top of his list. Gerald had perfected or created numerous techniques, helping numerous clans, companies, or organizations.
In one way or another, a fifth of the world population would have learned from Gerald, whether learning it from the techniques he released on the Skynet or through other ways.
Meanwhile, the elder from the Dark Moon Mercenary simply shook his head, saying, "This is a gamble that our young miss has personally chosen. I'm merely doing my duty, which is to make sure that the gamble ends in a victory. Of course, I'm going to get the full reward from that gamble."
Gerald smiled. "I understand." He turned around before looking at his Skylink. "That person is going to come soon… It's best if we can stop him outside, but I don't think it's possible."
…
Meanwhile, Clovis and his team had finally returned to the surface.
They met two Tier 8 humans that had been ordered to escort him away from this city.
"!!!" Clovis recognized one of them because he was one of the Tier 8 humans that participated in the discussion about his terms.
"Hmm, you are…" Clovis raised his eyebrows while extending his hand.
"It's the second time we've met." The Tier 8 human stepped forth and shook his hand. "I'm the captain of the Special Force, Sigurd. I have never thought you'd be able to achieve all this in a couple of months.
"This is my partner for today. I dragged him back from the retirement home, but he was formerly the one commanding the secret service, Dan."
Dan nodded and shook his hand. "Dan. With this growth, I have no doubt you can grow strong enough to reach Tier 9. The problem is whether you have the opportunity to reach that tier or not."
"Yes. Thank you." Clovis looked around. "It seems we don't have much time either…"
"Indeed," confirmed Sigurd. He pointed to the side. "We have brought special troops for today. I hope you don't mind them infiltrating this city."
"Of course. What's the plan for us? I don't think holding out here is a good idea."
"That's true." Sigurd explained further, "We're planning to leave the city and loop around. Our people will escort you the whole time until the enemies are confused.
"Although going to the wilderness is another option, it's not extremely useful with Tier 9 chasing after your back. It's true that Tier 9 humans can do almost everything, but they can't freely destroy a city since once their reputation is destroyed, they can become the world's enemy. Hence, we'll use it to our advantage."
"I understand. Do you mind if I use my own bus? It's extremely important for me because of various reasons."
Sigurd glanced at Dan. Dan thought for a moment before nodding his head. "It doesn't matter. What's coming is a group of elite, meaning high-tier people, not random terrorists who rely on weapons. Even if we escort you with a tank, they might end up cutting it open."
"I understand. Thank you for accepting my request. Shall we head out immediately?"
"Yes." Sigurd and Dan nodded at the same time.
It was at this time a voice echoed in their ears. "Not so fast."
