Another World Mall

"Hahaha. I enjoyed the trip. Thanks for everything, Clovis." Aileen smiled.

"Are you going back already?"

"Yeah. Gillian has been recalled back, and I'm sure he will experience hell after this. Meanwhile, I will properly settle my affair over there. Once I've finished my business, I will run straight to your group." Aileen nodded.

"I see. In that case, take care of yourself. If there's anything you need, just inform me about it."

"Yes, sir!" Aileen playfully saluted. Then again, Clovis would soon be her captain, so it was just a subtle hint that she had recognized him before officially joining the Libation Fiesta.

Clovis chuckled. "Take care."

Aileen nodded. She turned to Erwin. "Make sure you don't cheat on me. Or the next time I come, I'm going to cut it off."

"Cheat? With you as my wife, do you think I dare cheat? I'm not Clovis."

"Oi! Why are you dragging me into this?" Clovis' eyebrows twitched.

Aileen just laughed before kissing Erwin on the lips. "I'm going."

"Yep. Message me when you arrive."

Aileen nodded, waved her hand, and walked away. "See you later, everyone."

"See you."

"Take care."

"Come back quickly."@@novelbin@@

It appeared everyone had recognized Aileen as a part of the group. In the last two weeks, they had been hunting together.

They understood Aileen's talent and strength. Her control over her presence was rivaling that of a unique ability.

In addition, Aileen had become much happier and more expressive after their fight at that time. Getting along with her has become easier. Of course, they hadn't introduced her to Reolf yet. Clovis hadn't even bought any items for her.

Once she used the items from Another World Mall, her strength would soar. It wouldn't be weird if she ended up becoming as strong as Christina.

On the other hand, the Libation Fiesta had been increasing their strength drastically in a short period.

Jay and Kanaria had actually reached Tier 4 a few days ago. Clovis wanted to become one, but he was still lacking some essence. Fortunately, it would only take one more week before Clovis could become a Tier 4 human.

Once they returned, they were planning to have a small expedition in order for Clovis to reach Tier 4.

After all, even Melody and Luci had already advanced to Tier 5. Ragna was on the verge of advancing like Clovis.

Clovis turned around. "We still have three days here. I'm sure you guys are tired, so get a proper rest and enjoy the remaining three days. Training is necessary, but rest is the same. We'll return to Absalom in three days."

They all nodded their heads. In the end, they had gone to another country, but they had been occupied with expeditions after expeditions, so it was finally time to enjoy the new country.

Of course, Clovis planned to use this time to absorb some more essence. In addition, he had to think of Reolf's development plan, Hana's compensation, and how to deal with the person from a Tier 9 family. Unlike Christina, he was hostile after all.

"Clovis. Take a look at this." Melody gave a tablet.

"Hmmm?" Clovis frowned.

"I have made a profile for our group. Although they're rough, they're easy to read."

Jay Havenson (Tier 4: 2%)

Kanaria Renvolt (Tier 4: 1%)

Melody (Tier 5: 5%)

Ragna Book (Tier 4: 86%)

Erwin (Tier 5: 44%)

Lucifania (Tier 5: 12%)

Christina (Tier 5: 57%) Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

"What is this number?" Clovis frowned.

"It's the average number of their evolution. It's a rough calculation, but this will be easier to read. They will handle their own progress." Melody explained. "You have been asking people about their progress from time to time, so I've been thinking about keeping track of them from time to time so that you don't have to bother anymore."

"…" Clovis blinked his eyes a few times. It was indeed a good system. He would say it was convenient… if their circumstances were normal. Wouldn't this information allow them to realize something was wrong?

As if knowing Clovis' mind, Melody added, "By the way, I know that you have been helping us. I'm not sure about the details, but from the looks of it, you, Jay, and Kanaria are progressing much quicker than us.

"Don't forget that our absorption rate is above 90% as well. The fact that they're able to progress this fast to the point where they're about to catch up means something is spiking up their progress.

"You can't simply brush it off with the number of lower-tier beasts being higher. In the end, their number doesn't match up.

"We already know it. We have felt it. It's just… we never really bothered with it. After all, you should have your own reason and we're benefiting from it.

"If it's too much, I would have complained, but it's not really concerning right now." Melody sighed. "Then again, Luci and Christina must not realize it yet since they're new.

"I don't know what you have done, but I don't really plan to bother myself with it. You're not a fool. Someone with your ambition will definitely play it in the long run. If you're using us to increase your strength, you will try to make it as long as possible.

"In other words, whatever you're doing won't cause a problem for our body, which might ruin our future. And I trust you in that matter."

Clovis scratched the back of his head. "This… Sorry."

"It's fine. You don't need to worry about us." Melody shrugged. "Kanaria is too soft to tell you, while Jay will never question your judgment. Ragna is loyal to you, so the only one who can speak up is me. Then again, I don't care what happens to me as long as I can heal my younger brother."

Clovis sighed. "Well, I'm planning to tell you guys. Unfortunately, it's not now. Wait for a bit more, will you? When the time is right, I'll tell you guys."

"It's fine, even if you don't tell us. That secret must be extremely important. I just sympathize with you for carrying such a burden." Melody shrugged. "By the way, is there something that can heal my younger brother?"

"Not yet. I haven't seen anything that is useful for your brother." Clovis shook his head. "For now, I plan to ask my mother to treat him. If it's not possible, I'll get even stronger and hopefully find something that can help him."

"Mhmm…" Melody nodded. "Anyway, I'm not going to pry into your secret."

"Thanks." Clovis smiled before switching the topic. "By the way, what is this information?"

"Oh this. They are…"
