Another World Mall

"Dad?"

"!!!" Everyone couldn't help but glance in the direction of the voice.

Khain didn't expect Gerald would be here. Sigurd and Dan were already aware thanks to Radric, but they should be stopping the Tier 9 Berserker outside the city.

But as one would expect, it wasn't enough. There was no way three Tier 8 humans were enough to stop a single Tier 9 expert.

In just a moment, Radric and Elder Fan couldn't be seen anymore. Meanwhile, Gerald had been pushed back so hard that he ended up reaching the place where Clovis and the others were.

Of course, Kayne could see the pests that tried to take advantage of his presence to get Clovis.

Still, the people who were most shocked by Gerald's appearance were the people in the Libation Fiesta.

Clovis couldn't believe that his dad would be here, since he thought he would be the one finding him. He realized his father might not be right beside him, but he had been around, protecting him from the shadow.

'That's the guy from the video…' Jay remembered the video Gerald and Aisha left behind in Clovis' house.

'Father-in-law?' Kanaria raised her eyebrows.

'So, that's the man who is known as a martial genius… The one who is said to master everything… My master's father…' Ragna squinted his eyes.

Aileen and Erwin just glanced at each other, thinking the same thing. Meanwhile, Christina looked around, wondering if Gerald was here alone or if his father was helping him.

Lucifania admired his mother more than his father simply because they were both in the medical field.

Unlike the others, only Reolf wondered if his existence would be a nuisance or not in Gerald's eyes.

Gerald gritted his teeth. Even though he wanted to turn back to see his son, he couldn't afford to take his eyes off Kayne.

'To think I have been pushed back this far… How are we meant to stop this?' Gerald was in trouble. Although they were strong enough to somehow stop Khain and the others, Kayne's existence messed the situation up.

"So, this is where you are, Clovis. And there seem to be a lot of pests trying to use me, eh?" Kayne grinned.

"Clovis. We can talk later. Do whatever you can to break out of their formation and escape!" Gerald shouted.

"!!!" Clovis was surprised, but it seemed the plan he had in mind wouldn't work.

"How rude. You're going to leave when I've just arrived? Little Clovis, why don't you greet your grandmother's lover first?" Kayne smiled.

"Lover?" Clovis was bewildered.

"Don't care about him. He's a loser who keeps chasing after your grandfather because your grandfather was more charming than him and ultimately married your grandmother."

"How rude. Is that how you have been taught? This is why Lily has made a mistake. That motherfucker couldn't teach his son at all." Kayne harrumphed.

Kayne simply stated, "I'm going to say this first. You, whoever you are or from wherever you are, get out of this right now, since I see you now. All the people from this country will lower your weapons and accept the outcome. I will bring back Clovis! No negotiation!"

"Do you think we will say yes just because you demand it, Sir Berserker?" Radric's voice echoed as his figure appeared. He might be tattered, but he could still fight.

"This is not the end, indeed…" Elder Fan gritted his teeth while dragging his injured body.

"Are you sure you want to do this, Gerald? The only reason you are not injured like these two is because I have a lot of respect for your late grandmother. Or are you going to stand in my way again?" Kayne squinted his eyes.

Gerald took a deep breath. Since his sword and spear had been unusable, he took out the mace while saying, "If that's all it takes for me to stop you, it doesn't matter."

Khain clenched his hands into fists. They had done so much and even lost one Tier 7 human, so they couldn't afford to lose.

Khain shouted, "It doesn't matter what you do. Secure Clovis right now!"

All the agents from Lutvia immediately acknowledged the order, especially Allan. He changed his strategy completely, ignoring the rest of them except for Christina, who had been hindering him all this time.

"All of you are indeed bastards." Clovis clicked his tongue. "Do you think you can just make me do something or go somewhere just because you want me to? This is my life. I'm the one who decides it. Reolf!"

"!!!" They couldn't help but shift their gaze to the wolf, who came to Clovis' side. Clovis leaped on top of him, which made them realize what he was planning to do.

'That wolf…'

'Not good!'

'He's going back to the tower!'

Khain shouted, "Allan. Chase after him right away! Don't let him enter the tower!"

Allan charged forward, but his body was being stopped by Christina's Provoke. However, Allan was slightly different this time.

"Kh…" Christina gritted her teeth. "No way. His will is overpowering my unique ability?"

Little by little, Allan moved, gradually overpowering her unique ability.

At the same time, Kayne ran forth.

Gerald raised his stance and struck him with the mace, but Kayne surprisingly took this attack head-on even though this hit scraped the flesh on his arm.

Kayne simply looped around him and headed straight to Clovis.

"Not good. He's aiming for Clovis!" Gerald was tricked. Kayne looked like he wanted to injure him at first, but the plan changed the moment Clovis tried to get away.

Radric and Elder Fan reached him at the same time, striking him with their respective swords.

Still, Kayne was the only person here who could ignore their attacks. He let them slash him on the back as he continued to move toward Clovis.

"Clovis!" Gerald shouted, warning him.

"!!!" Clovis widened his eyes as he saw Kayne approaching him, his hand about to grasp his head. Of course, Clovis didn't plan to get captured easily. Even if it was futile, he swung his sword, trying to take this hand head-on and creating an opportunity to escape.

But to everyone's surprise, a weapon dropped from the sky, stopping Kayne's attack as a woman landed smoothly on the back of her weapon.

Everyone, including Clovis, couldn't help but drop their jaws, recognizing such a famous person.

"You are…"
