"He wants what?" The president widened his eyes in disbelief.
"Can you repeat it again?" A middle-aged man next to the president was shaken.
It was obvious why they looked like they couldn't believe what she just said. Even she couldn't accept it either.
"What? A clean-up crew?" Clovis' agent, Rena Walstain, dropped her jaw.
"You didn't hear it wrong. I want a clean-up crew… you know, the people who are tasked to dispose of the beast corpses and their blood. If not, the city will be extremely stinky at this rate. Or are you saying that I can't ask for the government's assistance on this small matter?
"I can rely on the OpenSky Company, but with the eyes on her, Hana's actions might expose my location. Is the country going to be fine with it?"
Rena furiously shook her head. "No, no. My apologies."
It was normal for Rena to be shocked. It had only been five days since Clovis started hunting. Yet he claimed he had killed all the beasts on the surface and wanted them to clean it up.
It was simply too fast.
"Weren't there three Tier 6 beasts?"
"No, not three." Clovis shook his head.
"Ah!" Rena nodded in understanding. Since the number of Tier 6 beasts was different from the reported, it was no wonder why they could be this fast.
However, Clovis corrected himself by saying, "There were four Tier 6 beasts. We did kill two of them on the first day, another one on the second day, and the unexpected fourth beast on the fourth day. After checking it twice, we confirmed there was no other beast on the surface."
It felt like something cracked inside of her. "F-Four Tier 6 beasts?"
"Yeah. Anyway, I don't have a lot of time. Can you do it or not?"
"Y-Yes! I can do it." Rena furiously nodded. As a Tier 6 human herself, she knew perfectly how terrifying a Tier 6 beast was. So, he didn't expect Clovis' group, who didn't even have a Tier 6 human, to be able to kill four Tier 6 beasts on top of other beasts in that city. It was too much even for her brain.
'Is this the power of the unique ability?' Rena gulped down. There were indeed two unique ability users and one pseudo unique ability user in his group, so she shouldn't measure them with the standard.
"Yes, I can send the clean-up team. Please leave it to me." Rena was a bit skeptical and excited at the same time when she was tasked as the agent for a future Tier 9. But after hearing this request, she realized that the future Tier 9 was beyond her imagination.
"Alright then. I will leave it to you. We're planning to go down and clear up both the tower and the underground city. Although we've checked that no other beast remains alive, you still need to be careful. And one last thing, don't get close to the tower or even follow me down. Understood?"
"Yes. I'll personally go there to ensure the cleaning process."
"All right." Clovis nodded and hung up.
She had no choice but to report it directly to the president as she was ordered.
As expected, the president couldn't believe it. Even the man in charge of the Ministry of Defense simply couldn't believe what he had heard.
"Yes, sir. He requested a clean-up crew because the OpenSky Company is being watched from all directions."
"…" The president glanced at the man on his side. "Fredrick. What do you think? How long do you need to clean up the whole city?"
"Let's see. If I wanted to annihilate all beasts in that city, I would probably send the SEF (Special Explorer Force) squad there… I might need the first and second squads along with some support. A total of 20 people.
"It would take at least two weeks… no, ten days. However, there would be at least three Tier 6 humans among them due to how high the threat was. To kill a Tier 6 beast is easier said than done. It might be near the tower and their strength is suppressed at a certain level, but it's still a Tier 6 beast.
"There will be injuries as well, so taking all that into consideration, I need ten days to kill all those beasts.
"However, the Libation Fiesta actually took half of that time. Is it because they haven't killed all the beasts in that city?" Fredrick crossed his arms.
"Ehm…" Rena raised her hand.
"What's wrong? You are his agent, so speak your mind freely. Your opinion matters a lot." The president nodded.
"He said he has checked twice, so I believe it's safe to assume he has exterminated all the beasts inside the city," explained Rena.
"Are you serious? This is not a matter of whether you believe it or not. Do you know how hard it is to kill the beasts inside the city? Even though there's a radar, you have to go door to door, not accounting for sneak attacks!" Fredrick raised his voice.
Rena could only lower her head.
"Well, well. There's not much data about the Libation Fiesta. Even though it might look impossible, don't forget that they have the grandchildren of Michael Hacfield and Ezekiel Elseingarde, so they might have a method to do it.
"So, the possibility of them succeeding is not zero. How about this? You go there personally, Fredrick? Take this girl with you and bring the cleaning crews there.
"Since Clovis Hacfield is not really fond of us meddling too much, just briefly check it and return so as to not meet him. Just let this girl handle the rest," suggested the president.
"…" Fredrick closed his eyes for a moment before saying, "Understood. I'll check the city personally."
The president nodded, satisfied. Meanwhile, Fredrick turned to Rena and said, "If there are still a lot of beasts in the city, do your job properly. Make sure someone like him knows what it means to send a clean-up crew!"
"Y-Yes." Rena nodded furiously.
