"The scandal within the raid group?" "The Drake Group's manipulative method." "Ivan's performance is not as good as rumored?" There was a lot of news coming out the next day. It shocked almost everyone in the city. It turned out there was a group that was much better than the one Ivan led. The Drake Group was under fire. People were trying to expose their corruption. President Thomas was doing all he could to ensure the stability of the group. However, their image had been tarnished by misinformation. A shady deal to keep the Libation Fiesta out of the raid party? No, the Libation Fiesta never registered for the screening test. But even if they claimed they had nothing to do with it, would the people believe them? No, they thought the Drake Group removed their trace as well. They didn't find out who actually put Clovis into the expedition group. The influences behind Clovis's teammates didn't speak up. The mayor also had no involvement in this matter. Hence, they were trying to figure out who actually put their name on the list at the last moment.@@@@ The reporters were on fire. They tried to seek out Clovis's home in order to get an exclusive interview with him. The Renvolt and Havenson families also got a lot of requests from them. They utilized every connection they had in order to make it successful. The one who had the most fun was actually Vania. She was holing inside her dark room, looking at her computer. She was logging in to her social media account. BlueScreen01: The Drake Group is too much. I used to like them, but it turned out they were as corrupt as others. Clovis closed the door immediately, not letting his personal life be bothered by these reporters. "Mhmm? Mayor." As expected, Kanaria immediately recognized him. "You are..." The mayor raised his eyebrows. "Ah, you are the granddaughter of Mr. Haivan." "Yes, my name is Kanaria. It's an honor to have the mayor remember me." Kanaria politely greeted him. The mayor paused for a moment, realizing that these two actually lived together. If that were the case, the relationship between Clovis and the Renvolt family was already very close. "Please come in." Kanaria skillfully led the mayor into the living room. The mayor was a bit surprised that the house wasn't fully furnished. No, it was furnished, but there was a lot of missing furniture. To think that a talented man like Clovis or even a young lady from a big family like Kanaria would live in a house like this. "Please forgive us for this humble home," Kanaria said, noticing his change of expression and his lingering gaze on the missing furniture. She had suggested it to Clovis previously, but because they rarely came home, he didn't think it was necessary. So, she had been postponing it the whole time. "I will make some tea." Kanaria waved her hand and quickly moved to the kitchen. Meanwhile, the mayor and Clovis sat down in front of each other. "I'm quite surprised that the talented young man of our city lives in a place like this. If you'd like to—" The mayor opened the conversation with a generous offer, but he was immediately stopped by Clovis. Clovis raised his hand and said with a flat tone, "I'm thankful for the offer, but I'll remain in this home. This is what my family has left me. Of course, that includes renovation." The mayor looked surprised, thinking that Clovis was so filial that he didn't want to make any changes to the house his family gave him. "Please." Kanaria returned pretty quickly and put down the tea for all of them before sitting next to Clovis. "May I know the reason for your visit this time, Mayor?" "Ehm..." The mayor scratched the back of his head. This was the first time he heard about them. However, after digging up a few things, they had indeed performed brilliantly a few times, which made his visit look like he was forcing his kindness on them. That was why he shouldn't start by offering them his support. Instead, he made an excited smile and asked, "What do you think about representing the city in the Stellar City's Explorer Combat Competition?"
