While Clovis and the others were setting up their new base, a lot of groups were on the move, figuring out a way to get Clovis to join them.
"What? Absalom is truly ridiculous. They're stopping our entry to their country? Are they so afraid that we'll steal Clovis from them?"
"Well… isn't that what we're supposed to do?"
"I'm just letting it out of frustration!"
"Yes… so, what are we going to do now?"
"It can't be helped. If the normal route is blocked, we have to come from the underworld. Unlike the surface, they can't stop our entry there."
"But we don't know where he is. And even if we can find him, as long as he's inside an underground city, we will have a hard time bypassing their security. It looks like they're tightening both the surface and subterranean security."
"It doesn't matter. At the very least, people will make less fuss if we enter from there."
"We don't have that information currently. It appears that the country is sealing off his information. I'm afraid they're trying to strike a deal or something. Are they…"
"Are they going to offer a tower to make him stay? This is not good. Find all information about him, especially his whereabouts. Even if he gets that kind of deal, we can offer the same thing. We will just offer him to get stronger and let him get the tower after being recognized in this country.
"Our country is much stronger than Absalom. I'm sure he will be more pleased to join here."
"I understand. In that case, I will find any information about him."
"Focus on his location first. We can't afford to let others take the initiative to contact him."
A lot of people were trying to find a way to enter Absalom, but some had actually worked on it. There were some people who actually entered the country with a fake passport, identifying themselves as the citizens of Absalom who had just returned to the country.
Some even had spies hiding inside the country the whole time, and it was time to utilize them.
Unfortunately for them, Clovis had prepared another layer of defense against them, which was none other than Vina. With Vina spreading misinformation, these people shouldn't be able to figure out his location, at least for a few months. Even Clovis didn't expect Vina to be able to mislead everyone for the entire nine months.
Still, there were some who actually used another way to find Clovis. That was by talking to Clovis' members, specifically their relatives.
"Congratulations. The Renvolt family will definitely rise from this point onward. Kanaria Renvolt was so strong during the fight, capable of defeating an enemy despite being at a disadvantage. She would definitely become someone that would be recognized by the entire world sooner or later."
"Thank you." Kanaria's father nodded while her mother had a smug smile inwardly.
However, there was a question that tried to slip past their defense.
"That's right. We would like to discuss the sponsorship for Kanaria Renvolt. If possible, can we talk to her? Or to express our sincerity, it would be good if we could meet her directly."
The same was happening to all their relatives. Jay's family also received a similar type of visitor, trying to figure out their information by acting like a sponsor.
That was why Clovis had told them not to tell even their parents their current location or plan. They might worry a bit, but as long as Kanaria and the others warned them about this type of person, they would surely understand.
Though, there was one family or two that didn't get bothered by this, simply because they were too occupied with each other.
"Hahahaha, in-law." Aileen's father, Albert Risevan, laughed out loud with wine in his hand. "To think that Aileen becomes someone so strong. If your son didn't make her leave this country, her talent might be buried. How dare those people force my daughter to marry their playboy son? Look at them now. Hahahaha!"
Erwin's adoptive father, Professor Genzert, smiled wryly. "I'm just wondering if my son is good enough for your daughter."
"What are you talking about? Your grandson is literally the left-hand man of Clovis. There must be a reason for Clovis to entrust that position to him. That's why you should believe in your son. Look at my daughter. She knows what to choose. As a result, her talent is finally acknowledged. Come on. We're a family now. Let's have a toast."
Professor Genzert just smiled, still feeling overwhelmed.
Obviously, the academy that lost Aileen without them realizing it was completely baffled.
The dean of the Deinesse National University couldn't help but slam his table. "What? A pseudo unique ability? Why did such a talent get away from this academy? Investigate it right now!"
It didn't take too long for the investigation result to come out. And no one would expect that her teacher was planning to sell her to the playboy from the Heshton family.
As a result, even without Hana or Clovis doing anything, the people hated the half-destroyed Heshton family, which ultimately resulted in their downfall. Her teacher disappeared after the news spread.
It had become too chaotic for Axolonia to do anything to Clovis yet. In the end, they were the biggest laughingstock for letting Clovis and Aileen leave the country.
However, there was one unexpected result. It was the fact that the information about Clovis would be found sooner than expected.
"So, that's how it is…" The Tier 9 human from the Melesviet family, Carrick, slammed the table while grinning. He was staring at the paper in front of him, showing the reason he lost.
That paper contained information about the person that caused him to lose.
And the first row of that information contained the name of that person.
Name: Clovis Hacfield.
"Hahahaha. Do you think you can hide your affiliation with that family? Don't think this is over after you scam me out of ten percent of my family's revenue and all this embarrassment."
