"Mr. Clovis. You're under arrest for bribing the Exploration Association to get your explorer identification. Please follow us to the station."
"Huh?"
The people were dumbfounded when they heard what the police said. They simply couldn't believe it.
Even Melody and Kanaria didn't expect this. They knew that Clovis had a low evolution rate, but once he got the identification, people wouldn't usually bother him anymore.
In addition, he was already Tier 1, showing his talent. There were some examples of people with low evolution rates who became successful because they were desperate enough to get it.
When it was found, the people actually helped them, demanding the police release them. After all, this also showed the potential of humanity.
The same should apply to Clovis. Both of them believed that once he became Tier 1 within a year of his awakening, even the police couldn't arrest them. It wasn't that they couldn't, it was that they wouldn't. Arresting him would bring a bad reputation to the police after all.
That was why it was too shocking that the police would make a move now.
"Is there something wrong? Do you even have the warrant to arrest him?" Kanaria tried to stop them.
However, the police stopped her and even took out the scanner.
"In that case, we'd like for Mr. Clovis to show his evolution rate. According to the database, Mr. Clovis only has a 15% evolution rate and has bribed an official to get his license. We'd like to bring you to the station for some questioning."
"What do you mean, 15%?" Kanaria acted as if she didn't know any of this. She even added, "He has become a Tier 1 within a month of his awakening. How could he have 15% evolution rate?"
When the people saw this exchange, they began to whisper to each other once again. As expected, the happiest one was Ivan as he could see Clovis suffer.@@@@
Clovis maintained his poker face, making people think that he was silently admitting his deed.
"Is that true? Did he bribe the staff in the exploration association?"
"But when you think about it, isn't it fine? I mean, he has become Tier 1, which is enough to show his talent. There are a lot of people out there who can do something like that."
"Mr. Clovis is suspected to have bribed the official from the Explorer Association for forging his explorer identification because his evolution rate is below the minimum stated in the law. We'd like to bring him back to the station so that we can ask a couple of questions."
The police explained it carefully and politely, trying to calm Hana down.
Hana, on the other hand, looked dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Clovis's evolution rate was that low. Then again, his achievement was so outstanding that she believed Clovis's evolution rate should be similar to that of his parents or grandfather.
This made Clovis even more amazing in her eyes.
At the same time, Hana pinched the bridge of her nose. She could see the aim of the police and someone was definitely instigating this.
Instead of feeling troubled, Hana was actually annoyed. She muttered in her own language, "(These fools...)"
"Pardon?" The police didn't understand what Hana was saying.
Seeing the gadget on their hand, Hana glanced at Clovis and nonchalantly said, "How about showing me your evolution rate? I won't allow them to bring you away if they're lying. I might have to sue them as well."
Clovis thought this was just an attempt to buy time as it was useless. Still, he was willing to do it and placed his finger on the gadget so that they could scan his fingerprints and show his information.
At that time, Clovis wasn't aware of the full extent of what a Tier 9 human could do in this world and he was about to learn it.
...
*Ririiing!*
*Ririiing!*
There was a call in the other part of the world. The man looked at his screen and saw the caller.
International Explorer Association.
The man picked up the call, saying, "This is Michael speaking."
