Words : 645 Updated : Oct 6th, 2025

While looking at the scenery, Clovis and Kanaria suddenly noticed something. "Hey. Are they really the ones?" "Yeah. I heard that they were actually added at the last second. Unlike us, who had to undergo a screening, he used a back door and put his name on the list." "What? But isn't he a genius?" "What genius? He only has a 40% evolution rate." "That's true. While he can still continue progressing quickly, his speed will drop significantly when he reaches a higher tier." "This is rather unfair." "Yeah. He can get the resources from the wealthy families behind his subordinates." "Then he must be using that connection to force his way here." "If he follows the screening, he won't be able to join this raid." The people began whispering about a 'scandal' after they had gotten their fill on the scenery. The first one to notice this was Kanaria with her sharp senses. She couldn't help but turn around. The people stopped talking for a second, but it was clear that a lot of people were talking about them. They all gazed at them as though they were cheating. However, they didn't dare to say another word because they were afraid of the families backing Kanaria and Jay. Kanaria noticed that it would be bad if she suppressed this kind of rumor with force, so she turned around and said, "Clovis... People are talking badly about us." "There is a reason why they held a screening to choose the people for this raid. You will understand it after fighting against the beasts. And I believe that you will think using connection is the same as sending yourself to death. "If you still think that I'm in the wrong at that point, I'll take full responsibility for your unproven claim. That's all. I hope that all of you are able to survive so that you can change your opinion." Clovis smiled. His opinions didn't pack so much power or persuasion. However, it instilled doubts in their hearts. Was the raid really that deep? A normal expedition is a rather simple and straightforward activity. They believed they would be able to do a lot of things in this raid and gain the recognition of the OpenSky company. It seemed that they had to see what Clovis meant by fighting against those beasts. After planting that seed of doubt, Clovis stepped away from the upper deck and headed back to the cabin. To his surprise, Jay was actually standing not far from the stairs as if he had been watching the whole thing. "It seems that you've seen all of it." Clovis patted Jay's shoulder. "Our job is going to be much harder now." Jay scratched the back of his head. He thought that he could warn Clovis about the rumor, but the other party had worked even faster. In fact, they might have been working since yesterday. "Anyway, I have gotten a few messages for you." Jay explained everything to Clovis starting with his observation, speculation, and the message from the butler. As the butler said, they had been isolated. Clovis never intended to crush their morale since the seed of doubt was enough. However, he was definitely shocked when Jay handed over the sphere that could jam the radar. "This is..." Clovis gasped. "Is there something wrong? This is an amazing device, but is it that useful? I mean, our enemies are the beasts, right?" Kanaria asked. Clovis shook his head. "This is a very useful item for our current situation. I see... it seems that she is able to see through the situation. I guess there's a reason why she is able to become a respectable businesswoman. I'll show you how to turn around the situation with this device."
