"Why are you here?" Ivan glared at Clovis as if he were his nemesis. Clovis remained calm, glancing at the people in Ivan's group. Elina had already taken a cautious stance while Lovelia was hostile but still remained careful. The other three people were confused. They had heard some rumors about the hostile relationship of their group with the Libation Fiesta, but they never knew the true extent. In addition, Libation Fiesta's name wasn't registered on the roster. So why would they be here? "Why am I here? I should be the one asking you. Why can't I be here?" Clovis coldly replied with a condescending tone. It wasn't that he looked down on Ivan, but this was the best time to trigger him. Because of the encounter with the assassins, he realized that Ivan would become irrelevant soon. So it would be best to crush him completely. "You aren't included in the teams!" Ivan shouted. "Yeah. And?" Clovis sneered at him. "Does that mean I can't participate in the competition?" "You?" Ivan gritted his teeth. "!!!" Elina noticed the meaning behind his words. She thought, 'Participating in the competition? Don't tell me... is he going to participate as an independent team? If that's the case, it doesn't really matter if he's on the list or not.@@@@ 'No, this is actually not good for us. The people will judge our Drake Group even more. They can claim that we've pushed them away, but they still participate independently because they won't be crushed by our pressure or something. It's false, but people will just believe what makes sense. 'We have to somehow stop him. But how? Should we kill him right here? This is a different city, so it will be hard to trace it. But because of the competition, the security has been tightened... What are we supposed to do?' Elina gritted her teeth, trying her best to find a way. However, Ivan stepped forward and shouted, "Do you think you can do whatever you want? It's going to be impossible for you to register for the competition. Or are you going to abandon your team members? Who was it again? Melody, was it? That woman is just a burden to your team." The blond-haired man chose not to dwell on this pathetic man and just walked away. Meanwhile, Clovis had gone to the restaurant to meet the mayor. He also noticed the middle-aged man next to the mayor and Vania. "Hello, sir." Clovis politely greeted him. "I apologize for making you wait." "It's fine, it's fine. Have you become Tier 2?" "Yes, sir." Clovis nodded with a smile. "Kanaria has briefed me about the discussion." "Mhmm. I'd like to hear your opinion. There will be a lot of strong opponents in this competition. Do you think you can defeat them?" "I don't know." Clovis shook his head. "Isn't this the time when you should assure me?" "I don't like to make an empty promise. However, we have two Tier 3 people in our group. Although I shouldn't boast like this, I don't think I will lose against them." "Come on, Captain. You shouldn't make us look bad." Melody pouted. "Sorry." Clovis scratched the back of his head. "But you are strong, you know. Your strength is abnormal even among other Tier 3 humans." Melody harrumphed. "I guess that's fine." She knew that she was stronger than normal Tier 3 humans because of the items Clovis provided her and the Star Method. Clovis turned to the mayor. "I don't know about Tier 4. However, if it's a Tier 3 group, I believe I have a 70% chance of winning. Realistically speaking, I just hope we don't have to face seeded opponents so that I can bring some results. Once we're up there, I hope that the mayor doesn't mind if I get a bit selfish and challenge those strong opponents." "Alright. That sounds good enough to me. As we agreed before, produce the result, I wouldn't be stingy. After meeting you, I can rest assured." The mayor stood up as if he were about to leave. "I wish you luck."
