As soon as Clovis returned, everyone was quite shocked by what he had found.

"So, the Prophet is that strong?" Melody smiled wryly. "This is going to mess up a lot of our plans. We need to get even stronger if we want to deal with him."

"That’s the plan." Clovis nodded. "In any case, we have to defeat him if we want to get what we want."

"The problem right now is not the Prophet. It’s the two special towers."

"Tower of Storage and Tower of Physics, huh?" Melody crossed her arms, contemplating. "Can you trust this information?"

"I can to a certain extent. At the very least, I know he won’t lie about this information. The problem will be the path to that tower."

"I see. In that case, we will have to be extra careful. I guess asking Vina is in order. Right now, Stefany has just finished her succession battle, so I guess she won’t be able to be disturbed for the time being." Melody sighed. "This is going to be a mess."

"In that case, I will call Vina." Angelia nodded. "We have the path for one tower, so I guess we should check the path first."

Clovis nodded. "For now, check if those two towers are real and see if they’re similar to what has been reported. Don’t poke about the path yet. Wait until we have sufficient strength."

"Got it."

"So, what’s the target this time? How strong do we need to be?"

Clovis had been thinking about this on the way back. After receiving all this information, he thought the path was quite clear.

His first target would be the Tower of Physics. If the information were correct, the Libation Fiesta could enter the tower without having to deal with the Prophet or other Tier 9 humans.

But before doing this, he planned to get stronger first. As long as he was strong enough, he could definitely deal with the country himself.

That was why Clovis raised one finger. "For the time being, I plan to focus on hunting beasts. At the very least, I want everyone, maybe except for me, Jay, and Kanaria, to reach Tier 8. It will be good if Reolf, Rea, and Freud reach Tier 8 as well, but we will see. Only after this will I have enough confidence to challenge that tower."

All of them thought about it carefully. It was true that in this situation, their team would become extremely powerful. They could individually make their own moves.

They didn’t know whether this was enough or not to challenge the entire country, but they believed they could at least escape from their pursuit.

Of course, before this tower, he planned to upgrade his mall. He had approximately four levels left, which capped the level at 40. He didn’t know whether this number had meaning or not, but he knew this was the target.

From his current financial situation, he could probably earn the money to upgrade the mall by two times after all the hunt.

This way, he would be left with only two levels remaining.

After challenging the tower, Clovis’ next move would definitely be a Tier 8 group. Yes, he, Jay, and Kanaria would evolve to Tier 8 before they challenged other towers.

He wished that with all of them reaching Tier 8, they would possess a combat power enough to challenge a Tier 9 human.

By using this strength, they would challenge the fourth tower.

If they truly succeeded at the fourth tower, Clovis could finally set his sights on the remaining three towers. The Tower of the Lake would be the last, of course.

Hopefully, all that time challenging the tower would be more than enough to upgrade his mall by one more level.

Then, Clovis intended to raise his strength even further, hoping that everyone had already gone beyond halfway to Tier 9.

He believed this would be enough to challenge Mara. He intended to get her to join the party for the rest of the three towers.

By using that opportunity, he would launch a surprise attack with Mara, which allowed him to get one more tower.

At this point, the Prophet would definitely be on fire.

If he could use the mall to shake them up, he would do it. The paintings had caused the world to shake, so it wouldn’t be weird if he revealed other things, they would become frenzied.

If he could use that chaos to enter one more tower, it would be great. After this tower, Clovis intended to upgrade his mall to the max level.

He hoped he would get something useful to fight the Prophet. After all, the next thing would be the final showdown between the Hacfield family and the Prophet.

It would be an all-out war. This was his plan.

Unfortunately, he knew his plan would never work 100%. In fact, he had been adjusting everything all this time.

And after seeing how the Prophet was also adapting by retreating in the succession battle, he knew the Prophet had changed the way he fought.

There was no guarantee that he would win against the Prophet all the time.

It was a perfect plan on his part. But the Prophet might be able to see this as well. The only problem was how much he could see.

There were many things that he had deliberately hidden.

Besides, there was also the matter of allies. Clovis’s allies were still too few in number compared to the Prophet’s.

Even with the Hacfield family, it was far from enough.

Hence, he knew he needed more allies. If possible, he also wanted to make several of them Tier 9 humans, not just him and Christina.

The only problem was whether it was possible or not. He hoped that Another World Mall’s items would be able to do it.

But as he expected, there would be unexpected variables that caused him to change his plan.

And that variable actually just came to his home.

"Hey, kids!"

Clovis looked at the two people who had come here with a wry smile. It was his parents, Gerald and Aisha.

Aisha proudly said, "I have talked with everyone and have decided to accept the marriage. I think this date is a perfect one for your marriage. What do you all think?"
