Another World Mall

Chapter 419 Unexpected Reunion

"I want to turn in all these essences." Clovis placed the box containing all the tubes filled with essence down the table.

"Understood. Please allow me to check the item first." The staff immediately verified the essence with the machine and saw a bunch of names on her screen.

The more she scrolled down, the more stunned she was. Eventually, she reached the bottom of the list.

"This..." She kept glancing back and forth between her screen and Clovis. "Sir..."

"Their location is in this mall. If you go there and head to the bottom floor, you should be able to find them along with the rest of the scorpions." Clovis placed a finger on his lips, gesturing her to be quiet since he didn't want to attract attention.

"I understand." She furiously nodded. If what Clovis said was true, the city would be grateful to Clovis' help. If they could somehow kill most of the Tier 4 beasts in the wasteland, the city could focus on the other front.

This was what Vania wanted from Libation Fiesta. Of course, killing a large number of monsters was their specialty.

"Are you sure you want to turn in all these essences to us?"

"Yeah. It's fine." Clovis nodded nonchalantly.

"We are only agents, so we will take 0.5% of the monetary value."

"I know. Just process it and give me the receipt."

"I understand." She hurriedly counted everything and cooperated with the staff from Essence Bank before giving the receipt to Clovis. "Please wait for two hours. The money will be transferred to you."

"Alright." Clovis paused for a moment before asking, "By the way, can I ask you why this place is suddenly filled with beasts? I haven't heard much about it."

"Of course." She took out a small map. "The wasteland has been inhabited by a lot of beasts even in the past. Due to its location that is not leading to any road, the beasts grow in number.

"However, we still do periodically thinning them out for either the essence or training purposes.

"It all changed about two weeks ago. We are still not sure about the cause, but there's a sudden influx of beasts coming from the south."

"Sure."

They gradually made their way toward their minibus, only to find someone sitting on their UTV as if she was waiting for them.

"!!!" Both Clovis and Melody recognized her.

As soon as she noticed them, she couldn't help but show a sly smile while waving her hand. "Yo, it's been a while."

"Vina..." Clovis furrowed his eyebrows.

"What are you doing here?" Melody asked, feeling suspicious. She immediately scanned the area to see whether they were surrounded or not.

"I'm not doing anything." Vina shook her head.

"Do you think we'll believe that?" Melody frowned.

"I thought we parted ways in a pretty good way." Vina tilted her head in confusion. Her personality had changed more than they imagined. No, did she trick them into thinking that her personality was calm and rational?

"From all the places that we're visiting, you choose to go to this place to meet us. Who will believe that it's just a coincidence? In addition, you're sitting there as if you know it's ours." Melody stepped forth, her finger tugging Clovis secretly to signal something.

"Fine, fine." Vina raised her hands as if she were giving up. "I'm trying to do something here. It's just... I don't have the necessary power to do so."

"So you're coming to us?"

"Yep, you got that right." Vina smirked. "Help me. I'll properly reward you."

"Do you think we'll help you? This reeks of scheme." Melody stopped her.

However, Vina simply said, "Even if that reward is information regarding 80,000 beasts that are endangering your city?"

"!!!"
