Clovis couldn't help but furrow his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Hana would be calling him so suddenly. He thought there was nothing more to be discussed, but it seemed he was wrong.
Clovis picked up while walking back to the camp.
"Hello?"
Hana's voice echoed, having a mix of anxiety and excitement.
"Is there something wrong?" Clovis frowned, thinking a problem had occurred in their partnership. The most worrying thing would be the leak of the research.
However, he had prepared for it. There were a lot of people who wanted the Hacfield family and their secret after all. It wouldn't be weird if there were some greedy people who wanted the research.
To his surprise, the situation didn't turn out the way he had predicted.
"Clovis. This is Hana. I'd like to inform you that your grandfather just visited my household a few hours ago."
"My grandfather?" Clovis raised his head. It was hard to pin down his grandfather in a single place. It had been years since he last saw him. So, it was quite surprising that his grandfather would go all the way to visit Hana.
Then again, this showed that Michael still cared about Clovis. Even when he was hidden, he still followed his news. It made Clovis happy.
"Yes. I can't talk for a long time on the phone, so I'll just give you the summary. Your grandfather knows about the research and doesn't seem to mind about our partnership. And you don't have to worry about outside influences that might come to you because of me for now."
"That's good." Clovis nodded with a serious expression. This way, the only ones he had to worry about were the assassins and the Drake Group.
"And your grandfather would like to convey something to you," said Hana while looking at the screen. The chip only contained a single file. In fact, it didn't have a lot of words in it to the point where she wondered if his grandfather should have just written it down instead of putting it inside the chip.
Clovis's expression turned grim. He had learned a lot from his grandfather, so if he told him something, it was better to listen to it.
"Have you ever felt that you were becoming stronger all of a sudden?"
Noticing his trouble, Kanaria couldn't help but ask, "Is there something wrong?"
"Well, there is something." Clovis scratched the back of his head. He didn't immediately share it with Kanaria, wondering if he should ask or not so that she could help with the riddle.
Seeing Clovis's expression, Kanaria decided not to continue.
Melody was focused on her screen as well, reviewing the information they had. She only took a glance and thought that it would be fine to leave them alone.
Clovis just kept looking down, trying to figure out the riddle. He even drew a star to help her think about it. Even if Kanaria saw it, he could simply say it was his habit or something.
Instead of Kanaria, Melody was the one who actually noticed it first. "Hmm? Clovis..."
"Yes?" Clovis raised his head as he was about to explain the misunderstanding.
However, Melody asked an unexpected question. "Are you going to teach it right away?"
"Teach?" Clovis tilted his head in confusion, not understanding what she was talking about.
"You're drawing a star, right?" Melody asked while pointing at the symbol Clovis drew with a stick.
"Ah?!" Kanaria came to a realization, finally seeing through the problem in Clovis's mind, even though it was just a misunderstanding.
Seeing Clovis was still confused about it, Melody said, "I'm talking about the technique you've taught me."
"Technique?" Clovis still didn't understand what she was talking about for a minute before remembering that one technique. "Technique?!"
Clovis looked down, thinking, 'Yes. Technique... There is one technique that I have related to the word 'star,' the Star Method. There are five points: brain, heart, blood, muscle, and bone. Wait. Aren't those points the tips of a star? Why does my grandfather refer to each of them as a star?
Do I actually understand the Star method correctly?'
