Chapter 709: Return
"…" Rena's eyebrows were twitching as she stared at the number that had been calling her for the last few days.
It was Hana.
"Is there any news about them yet?" Hana's voice immediately echoed the moment she picked up.
Rena smiled wryly. "Not yet…"
She wanted to say something else, but Hana's position was considered higher than hers, since she was related directly to Clovis, her boss. There was no way she could be rude, no matter how annoyed she was.
At the same time, she understood her worries. There was no news from Clovis the whole time, so even she couldn't help but wonder if something had happened to Clovis.
"In that case… tell me if they—" Before Hana finished her words, Hana suddenly raised her eyebrows as a silhouette emerged from the tower. "Wait. That's…"
"What's wrong? What happened there?" Hana panicked, thinking that Clovis had been killed by a beast and that beast continued to attack.
Rena hurriedly rushed to that silhouette as more and more people came out of the tower.
"Sir!" Rena greeted him. Even though she was not panting, she was breathing heavily, showing her worries.
"Sir? Ah. Did…" Hana immediately noticed what was going on.
That was right, Clovis finally came back.
Clovis smiled wryly when he heard Hana's voice. "You're in… a call?"
"Ah!" Rena panicked. She showed the number and said, "This is…"
Clovis just extended his hand, as if asking to give him the phone. He would be the one taking care of it.
Rena obeyed him. Once Clovis got the phone, he casually said, "You're bothering my agent now?"
"Clovis, you jerk! You promised to call me once a week!"
"Ahahaha." Clovis chuckled. "Sorry, sorry. The plan didn't work too well, so the situation got a bit messy. But I'm fine. You probably can begin to move your people one at a time to this city. Both the surface and underworld have been taken care of."
"This is not what I meant!" Hana gritted her teeth. It was probably because of her greedy nature that Clovis didn't know how much she was worried about him.
"I know, I know. Let me take care of this a bit and I'll call you tonight, okay?" Clovis smiled wryly.
"…" Hana fell silent for a moment before sighing. "Fine."
Once Hana hung up, he returned to the phone while pointing at the huge beast behind him. "It took us longer than we expected because of this guy. Can you take care of it? Of course, the rest of the best as well. We've cleaned up the underground city for the time being, and we'll soon set up a camp there to ensure the safety of the workers. For now, you can deal with this one and the inside of the tower."
"I… understand." Rena nodded. However, the moment her eyes shifted to the beast that Clovis was talking about, her jaw dropped to the ground.
The beast was dragged by almost everyone. It was the reason it took them so long to climb up.
After all, this was the Tier 7 Morganucodon. Although Rena didn't know what species it was, she could feel the immense power coming from this beast.
It was clear that this beast's strength had far surpassed hers. Yet, the Libation Fiesta took it down.
More importantly, the battle underground should also have numerous beasts. Yet, despite all odds, Clovis won.
"This is… a Tier 7 beast?" Rena gasped.
"Yeah." Clovis nodded with a smile.
Rena was speechless. She kept glancing back and forth between Clovis and the beast. Even though she knew how strong Clovis was, a Tier 7 beast was different.
Of course, Clovis understood it, but he didn't plan to explain himself. He simply said, "Anyway, it's your job now. This one is important, so I will take 70% of it. You take 20% and give 10% to the ones doing the job. Arrange everything for me."
Clovis walked away, not waiting for her response. Jay and the others were also tired, so they followed him, not planning to answer any inquiry. Though, unlike Clovis, they didn't have to deal with Hana.

Presidential Office.
"Sir!" A man suddenly rushed into the office.
"Huh? What are you doing?" The president was startled.
"Ah!" The man realized what he had done and did his best to regain his composure. He gulped down. While breathing heavily, he explained, "We've got some more news from Agent Rena."
"Hmm? About Clovis?"
"Yes."
"What's wrong? Did someone find him and try to poach him?"
"No. It's not about such a thing." The man shook his head. "We've got a report that Clovis took down a beast overlord in the underground city. He's planning to set up a camp there to retake the city."
"Isn't that good? It's extremely fast, but it just shows how talented he is."
"Yes, but…" the man scratched the back of his head. "The beast ruling over that city was a Tier 7 beast."
*Cough!*
*Cough!*
He was so startled that he almost choked. "What did you say?"
"The overlord of that city was a Tier 7 beast. After a brief inspection, there were at least one thousand beasts there."
"And he killed them? With only the Libation Fiesta?"
"Yes."
Both of them knew how ridiculous the Libation Fiesta was, but this news just shattered that image. It appeared the Libation Fiesta was much more monstrous than he originally thought.
"According to Agent Rena, there were several people who had evolved to a higher tier. Christina Elseingarde has reached Tier 6. As for Tier 5, Melody and Ragna have joined the ranks of Lucifania, Erwin Tyska, and Aileen Risevan. So, other than Clovis, Jay, and Kanaria, all of them are already Tier 5 or above."
"And is that even enough to take down a Tier 7 beast with all those minions?" The president scratched the back of his head.
"In my honest opinion, even with two unique abilities and one pseudo unique ability… no." The man shook his head. "The gap between Tier 6 and Tier 7 is nothing like they have seen so far. And they don't bring out enough equipment to take them down. There might be some leftover equipment in the underground city, but they're too outdated. There's no way to kill the Tier 7 beast."
"…" The president was speechless. It seemed he had to re-evaluate the Libation Fiesta. He asked, "How is the protection of their family members, especially in Axolonia?"
"Our elites are protecting them."
"Double their number."
"Yes, sir."
