"Who?" Clovis was the first to react, followed by Jay right after. They all looked at the woman, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. None of them felt her presence the whole time.
Before them was a woman sitting with a relaxed expression. She had long blond hair, tied into a bun on the back to avoid her hair getting wet. She covered her body with a towel, but they could see the blue string attached to the back of her neck, clearly wearing something underneath.
Her face looked like a pure girl, but her gaze felt like they were able to strip everyone naked.
She covered her face with both hands while saying, "If you stare at me that intensely, I'll be embarrassed."
Clovis's expression turned grim, asking the same question. "Who are you?"
He was ready to leap out of the pond and grab his weapon.@@@@
She looked surprised before pointing at herself. "Are you sure you don't know me? I thought I was famous enough. I guess I'm no different from a normal person if someone doesn't care much. Before I introduce myself, I will have to say this, I'm not your enemy. In fact, if I were your enemy, you two would have already died."
"..." Clovis waved his hand to Jay, signaling him to back off. He didn't say anything wrong. "Still, you don't expect me to trust that, right?"
"Well..." She paused for a moment. "In that case, are you familiar with the name Skylark?"
"Skylark?" Clovis furrowed his eyebrows.
"I guess only someone from the Hacfield family wouldn't know about us." She chuckled.
"!!!" Clovis's expression turned grim the moment he mentioned his family.
At the same time, Jay put his hand on his chin while muttering, "I think Kanaria has mentioned this name once. If I'm not wrong, they are a conglomerate from a Tier 8 city. They are from the neighboring country and can be said to be the richest company in that country."
"Oh?!" She smiled and placed her hand on top of her chest while politely introducing herself. "It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Hana Skylark."
Clovis pondered for a moment before asking, "So, what is the reason for such an important person to come all the way here?"
"..." Kanaria and Melody exchanged looks and decided to join. However, they stood on the side instead of entering the hot spring.
"I guess that's fine too." Hana smiled before turning to Clovis. "I will make it simple. I want you, Clovis Hacfield."
"Huh?" Clovis looked confused, while Kanaria instantly became hostile. Only Melody was calm enough to actually ask, "Do you mean his family?"
"That was my original intention, but after seeing your performance in the last two days, I changed my mind." She smirked.
"In the last two days?" Clovis squinted his eyes before remembering the corpse they found. "You were the one who left behind that corpse?"
"I was trying to clean it up, but you actually showed up much faster than I originally thought. Since I didn't have time, I just hid at the top and watched your team." Hana shrugged.
"Don't you think you should have helped on the first day?" Clovis asked.
"You will just become much more suspicious of me. You know it, I know it."
Clovis couldn't deny that fact. The fact she appeared here alone was already suspicious, and with how she came all the way here from another country, there was no way Clovis would believe her.
"Kanaria? Do you know her?" Clovis asked while glancing to the side.
"Yeah. She came from the top ten wealthiest family in the world and the parent company, Sky, was listed as the fifth biggest company.
"She created a new company with the help of her grandparents with the name OpenSky, mainly dived into aviation business. She managed to create a battleship that could fly, which looked like a fortress in the sky and planned to commercialize it soon. When that happened, her company's evaluation would skyrocket.
"Yet, despite focusing on her business, her talent was no joke either. Right now, she is only 18 years old, but she has already become a Tier 4 human. Thus, making her one of the most influential people under twenty."
Clovis and the others looked shocked from everything Kanaria listed.
Hana, on the other hand, chuckled and said playfully, "Oh my. It was thanks to my grandfather. I wasn't that great."
