Another World Mall-Chapter 671: Letter
"Let me see that letter first."
"I understand." Vina smiled and happily handed over the letter.
The moment he opened the letter, he looked shocked. The letter didn't mention a single thing about the Dark Moon Mercenary. It was as if they were telling him to forge his own path and make a decision for himself.
People made mistakes. However, that wasn't the worst part. The worst part was that after making that mistake, they didn't learn from it and turn into a better person.
Hence, his family, or more like his mother, sent this letter to him.
Clovis asked, "Did you meet her?"
Vina shook her head. "All we know is that they will open the path for us as long as we deliver this letter. I don't think that's a bad idea, so I come."
There were a lot of questions in his mind, but having someone like Vina might be a good thing. It was true that his information might be exposed. However, Vina surely would give some information to him as well.
In other words, it was just a basic give and take.
"…" Clovis pondered for a moment. "What is your term?"
"We would like to have a base in your city. I would also like to ask for your favor to make me the leader of the Dark Moon Mercenary. As you can see right now, I lack power," explained Vina.
She was a Tier 3 human, but it looked like she had just become Tier 3. In the end, she focused on managing the group.
"I currently don't have the strength to assist you."
"I'm aware of it. As long as I can have that position in five years, it's all good. I don't believe you will still remain as a nobody after five years."
Clovis pondered for a moment before asking the most crucial question. "What can you do for me then? You're not going to threaten me by giving my information to others so that they can ambush me, right?"
"Of course not. If I do that, not only you but also your family will definitely come to me." Vina shook her head. "What do you want me to do?"
Clovis crossed his arms. "I have three conditions. First of all, you are going to follow my schedule. Starting a new base is easier said than done, so I will probably need about six months to even think about that.
"If we calculate the process and other things, you can only set up a base 9 months after this agreement.
"The second condition is that during those nine months, you are to help me mask my information as long as possible. It's a crucial time for my group, so I don't want anyone to hinder our progress.
"The last condition is to negotiate every small deal we have, whether it's me asking you for a favor or vice versa."

Vina looked quite surprised before smiling. "I understand. I shall agree to that deal."
"All right then." Clovis nodded.
"Since we are going to cooperate like this, please take this." Vina took out a Skyphone. "This is a special phone that has been personally encrypted. There's only one number inside. If we're going to communicate, it will be through this phone."
Clovis nodded.
"In that case, I won't bother you any longer. Please take care." Vina smiled and walked away.
The Tier 7 human who was accompanying him this whole time couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure about this? What if he backed off from the agreement after we fulfilled our part for those 9 months?"
Vina just chuckled, as though she had heard a dumb question. "I know you have a doubt, but Clovis is a man of principle and integrity. These nine months are like a test to gain his trust. But after that, negotiation will be smooth."
Meanwhile, Clovis' expression turned solemn as he waved his hand. "Melody. Hana."
Melody and Hana were confused, wondering why he called for them. Hana aside, Melody wasn't supposed to be a part of the conversation. In the end, it was Kanaria who would be planning for the city.
However, Clovis specifically handed the letter to Melody while saying, "Burn it after you read it."
Melody was confused for a moment, but once she read the letter, she couldn't help but cover her mouth in shock. She couldn't believe that this letter would come at all.
On the other hand, Hana understood why Clovis asked her to read it as well.
The letter stated, "Bring me Adante's blood test and all tests for his chest and head. Send it to this address under the green box."
Adante or Dante was none other than Melody's brother. He was the sole reason for Melody joining the Libation Fiesta.
Clovis wanted to reach Tier 5 because he wanted to fulfill his part as the captain of the Libation Fiesta. After all, that was the key for him to meet his parents.
The letter specifically mentioned her brother's name. In other words, this letter was sent specifically by his mother. She wanted to get all the information before operating on him.
And Hana would be the one to do it in her stead.
Hana smiled wryly while saying, "I guess you don't have to worry about it anymore, Melody. His mother is supposed to be one of the best doctors in the world, right? I will take care of all these tests here, so you should focus on setting up the base.
"I think the moment he reaches Tier 5, the operation will happen. Just come back like once a month or something."
"Hana… Can I ask you for a favor?"
"Hmm?"
Melody clenched her hands into fists. "I won't return. Can I ask you to help me with just a video call with my brother every month? That's enough for me. I will dedicate this time to making sure everything progresses smoothly and quickly. More than that, I might get distracted by this happiness…"
Hana smiled. "Sure. Go on." She patted her back.
"Yeah. I'm going." Melody had a hard time containing her excitement. She entered the bus with her body still shaking.
This base, she would definitely set it up quickly.
