"Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening, Mr. Michael. I'm from the International Explorer Association (IAE). I'd like to inform you that someone seems to be investigating your grandson's information. May I ask you to confirm whether your grandson, Clovis Hacfield, has a 15% evolution rate?"
"Those pathetic fools… Give me a minute." Michael clicked his tongue and logged into his account. As he said, it only took him a minute before he asked, "Can you repeat your question?"
"I apologize, I may have misspoke. May I ask you to confirm your grandson, Clovis Hacfield, has a 40% evolution rate?"
"Yes," Michael answered nonchalantly.
"Thank you for your confirmation. We'll proceed according to our rule. May I ask if you have any further requests, Mr. Michael?"
"No. I don't want to be bothered with this insignificant problem. Only fools will think that everything depends on evolution rates."
"I understand. Thank you for accepting my call, Mr. Michael. Have a good day."
Michael hung up while snorting.
Meanwhile, Clovis had already placed his thumb on the scanner and the device began to show his information.
Clovis widened his eyes in shock as if he couldn't believe the information before him. Even the police dropped their jaws. They had seen the data and it showed them 15% evolution rate.
Yet, when Clovis tried to prove it, the number had changed. As if it were trying to slap them in the face, the evolution rate was actually set into the minimum amount to register in the association.
Kanaria and Melody couldn't believe it as well. They thought they were hallucinating, considering the data was stored at the international organization. All the explorer associations around the world were just their branches to regulate the explorers.
Ivan dropped his jaw to the ground. With this number, they couldn't arrest Clovis. But President Thomas should have done it carefully, meaning that he had enough confidence that this trick would work.
Yet, the reality was different.
Hana's eyes turned cold. "It seems that the city doesn't like me. To think that they would actually hinder me, who is doing my best to help increase the standard of living in this city. I'll have to file a complaint with the mayor after this expedition. I might even have to cancel my investment and find another place."
"This… this…" The police panicked, not knowing what to do. They thought they only needed to arrest Clovis and bring him back to the station for formality. But it turned out they were wrong and even offended Hana. Their faces turned pale.
Hana turned around, put her hand into her pocket, and whispered, "Now you understand the power behind a Tier 9 human, right? Your grandfather, especially, have enough influence to change the information from all organizations under the United Nations. I have heard him removing someone's name and manipulating his information with his phone and a single call.
"That's why I said everything under Tier 9 is trash. Anyway, they won't be able to do anything to you through your information as long as your grandfather is still alive. Do you want me to find out the mastermind? Cough if yes, stay silent if you want to do it yourself."
Clovis remained silent, which she took as an answer.
Hana took out her hand from the pocket and started walking back angrily.
Clovis was still stunned because he was actually staring at the information that was stored directly in his body.
Name: Clovis Hacfield
His information still stated it was 15%. In other words, his grandfather had indeed changed his information. In fact, even his family name was erased in order to protect him.
What he didn't know was that his grandfather indeed did it in one minute and a single phone call. He wasn't the one who called first.
Once Hana returned to the battleship, her butler announced, "Please start boarding the battleship as we'll head out in thirty minutes. The staff will guide you."
The people were still stunned.
While walking, they couldn't help but talk about what had just happened.
"What 15%? It was freaking 40%."
"In the first place, the police weren't supposed to reveal his personal identity even if it was fake."
"Yes. Now they should sue the police for defamation and disclosing personal information."
"Serve them right. Those policemen must be the bad ones."
"Yeah. The police should have done their job earnestly and not involved themselves in the politics."
"Still, don't you think it's insane for him to reach Tier 1 within a month with that evolution rate?"
"It's amazing. He is much better than Ivan. I feel like I should work even harder."
"Agreed. Looking at his achievement, I feel like I haven't worked hard enough."
"We need to beat Ivan ourselves."
They all looked even more excited. Instead of Clovis, Ivan had become their target. A single mistake from Ivan would be a disaster for him.
Ivan wanted to say something, but Elina was holding his hand, preventing him from doing something that would make the situation worse. She also never imagined that the president's scheme would end this way. This looked like a dumb move from Thomas.
Clovis simply shrugged his shoulders when he returned to his group as though nothing had happened.
Melody was impressed. This was a way of showing her that his family indeed had the ability to help her brother.
Jay didn't really care about the problem, believing Clovis would be able to solve it.
As for Kanaria, Clovis had to rub her forehead to snap her back to reality.
"Ah!" Kanaria looked at Clovis, demanding an explanation.
"Anyway, let's go first, shall we?" Clovis pointed at the battleship.
"Yeah, sorry." Kanaria nodded helplessly.
"Have fun, guys!" Melody regained her composure and hurriedly waved her hands.
"We're off!" The three of them nodded and walked toward the ship like the others as the battleship took off into the sky.
