"Yeah. That's what happened. Yes, President. Yes. I understand." Elina let out a long sigh while hanging up the call. She couldn't help but look at the empty space as if staring at that person's back.
In the end, Clovis and his group had become something much bigger than anything they could imagine.
The mayor had also begun to move, so President Thomas could only cut his losses.
On the other hand, Mayor Revan visited Clovis and his team in the medical room.
"How are you?" Mayor Revan asked with a worried expression.
"Mhmm... The wounds have been closed, and my blood has been replenished. There is still some pain, but this is just the slow recovery part of the recovery pod." Clovis nodded as the doctor checked his condition.
"Is that so?" The mayor fell silent for a moment.
Seeing his expression, Clovis simply said, "I'd like to thank you for helping us, Mayor Revan."
"I didn't do anything." The mayor shook his head. Even though he gave them some money, there were a lot of things that couldn't be bought with money, like a special trainer or connection.
For Clovis, money was everything. He could buy a lot of items from Another World Mall after all.
"In any case, thank you." Clovis nodded.
The mayor liked Clovis more and more. Despite having such prowess, he remained humble. Even though some doubted him, he didn't take it to heart and just showed them the proof.
Mayor Revan said, "I'll cheer for you again tomorrow. For now, please get some rest. If you need anything, I'll do my best to support you."
"Understood. Thank you very much."
"What? Am I a child that can't protect myself?" Kanaria sighed. "Are you going to use the same excuse to joke around today?"
"Hahaha!" Clovis chuckled. "See you later."
Jay just carried him a bit faster to shut Clovis up. Of course, Melody followed them since she didn't want to be bothered by the interview as well.
While Jay and the others used the back exit, Kanaria and Ragna headed to the main entrance, where the reporters gathered.
Surprisingly, they were stopped by Kanaria's mother, Vania.
"Mom?" Kanaria frowned.
Vania looked at them. "So only the two of you..."
"Yeah. Is there something wrong? Usually, you would be waiting in the hotel or just texting me." Kanaria felt something was wrong. Now that she thought about it, Clovis request for Ragna to protect her might have some meanings.
Vania nodded. "Well, it's not like this is an immediate problem. However, your performance was so amazing that it would bring some problems since the people in our city would be watching as well."
"Problems? Such as?"
Vania raised three problems. "I intercepted one of the calls. The Drake Group planned to cut off Ivan and clear up their name. Thomas isn't someone who would just swallow this humiliation, so he might do something.
"And Ivan himself might do something. I don't know if he can do anything to you or not, but don't underestimate the person who has been cornered.
"The second problem would be our family's enemy, the Rusth family. They should understand that they have lost by choosing Ivan. You are already with Clovis, meaning that there's no place for the Rusth family. And if they leave us alone, we'll become too powerful due to that connection. They might create an even bigger problem just to stop us from rising or at least eliminate you.
"Last but not least, there would be a lot of people wanting to get your group, especially Clovis. They might do something against you. I think this is a reason why Clovis made some connection with Erwin. He is probably planning to use that connection to stop those people from getting too greedy."
