Another World Mall

The next day.

Clovis ended up going to Hana's office to avoid them focusing on this place instead of their mansion. After all, he didn't want Reolf to be seen by them yet.

As expected, Radric came to the OpenSky Company. Due to Clovis' sensitive identity as well as the fact the former match was just a battle between two teams instead of representing the country, the meeting couldn't be official. In fact, this meeting only happened due to Clovis' unique ability.

Hence, Radric came only with his assistant and driver. The car was much smaller to avoid public eyes.

To avoid the country taking advantage of Clovis, Hana chose to come together with Clovis. Although Hana wasn't officially a part of Clovis' team, she had been involved with a lot of things regarding Clovis. There were even rumors that they were engaged.

With Clovis confirming Hana's participation, they had no choice but to allow Hana to come together.

On the way, Clovis couldn't help but see multiple billboards with the news of him winning against Tesron. From normal people to experts, they gave opinions to glorify the result.

The Libation Fiesta was already popular because of the new beast soul, but after this battle, the entire country definitely knew their names. After all, this country might end up having a Tier 9 human in the future.

As soon as they reached the 'Palace,' they were guided strictly inside until eventually they reached the president's office.

The president was an old man in his mid fifties. He looked energetic, but it couldn't contain his aged features. He seemed to have dyed his white hair black, as Clovis noticed the small white tip that had just grown.

Next to the president stood two people, one was the general who became the referee of the match and the other was a middle-aged man in a white suit.

Clovis' expression remained calm despite knowing that these two people were Tier 8 humans. They could pressure him, but Clovis knew full well that even if they threatened him, it was useless. After all, even if he died here, his grandfather would definitely decimate this country. And it wasn't like he was afraid of dying.

"Congratulations on your victory and welcome to the country, Clovis… Hacfield," the president spread his arms to show a warm welcome.

At the same time, announcing his full name meant he invited him, fully aware of his family line.

Clovis politely nodded. "Thank you, Mr. President. It's an honor to be invited here."

The two Tier 8 humans examined Clovis while Radric remained silent behind him.

The president smiled and turned to Hana. "And this must be Hana Skylark."

"I'm grateful for you accepting our request to have me here." Hana gracefully bowed with one hand on her chest.

"No need to be so formal. I have known your grandfather for a long time." The president then turned back to Clovis. "Besides, I have never thought that Mr. Clovis would come to this humble country. Please take a seat."

Clovis and Hana exchanged nods and took their side next to each other.

The president sat on the opposite side with a gentle smile. Clovis didn't talk a lot, which made it a bit awkward. So, the president moved on to the main topic. "The country is proud to have an awesome fighter like you. In addition, your team is extraordinary as well. Thanks to you defeating the opposite team, our reputation skyrockets. I would like to show my appreciation to such a young talent and his awesome team."

"There is no need to do so, Mr. President. We're thankful for the thought alone. In the end, this battle derives from the competition between academies. The Libation Fiesta didn't represent the country, and the opposite team only represented the Melesviet family." Clovis shook his head.

"…" All people fell silent after hearing such a reply. The meaning was clear. The Libation Fiesta was a free team. They could go wherever they wanted without anyone binding them.

At the same time, it was also Clovis' way of saying that he should just reveal what he wanted.

The three Tier 8 humans were definitely impressed by his boldness. He was fully aware that there were three Tier 8 humans before him and that they could kill him here, but he also knew they couldn't harm him.

Radric chose to smooth their conversation by saying, "Mr. President. I believe that such an individual should remain in this country."

The president smiled, rewording that sentence. "I'm aware of your unique ability. You have the potential to become a Tier 9 human in the future, and the country would like to bet on your future. Do you have any intention of officially becoming this country's citizen? Or maybe I shouldn't get ahead of myself and ask this question first. What do you think about this country?"

Clovis smiled. "I'm merely an explorer, carrying the bloodline of the Hacfield family. I can carry myself anywhere, but not my family. I just happened to flee to this country. All I could say is that this country has treated me better, at least compared to the previous country."

The president became serious. This was a direct message from Clovis. Even if they wanted him to stay, it would be useless if they aimed to bring his family here as well.

The president raised a finger. "Of course, I'm aware of your background. The reputation of the Hacfield family is like thunder reverberating in one's ears. They are powerful but mysterious. What I want is you, Clovis Hacfield.

"Maybe I should be more direct about this." The president paused for a few seconds. "Do you wish to stay in this country as its citizen, Clovis Hacfield?"

To recruit a Tier 9 would require a huge sum of money and they might not be able to control them. However, it was different if it was someone with the potential to become Tier 9.

Since there was a chance of them dying along the way, the investment was lower. Still, Clovis had the backing of the Hacfield family. Normally, someone like him should go to the country where his family was based, but the Hacfield family didn't have a base.

Basically, whether Clovis would stay or not depended on how much the president believed in his potential.
