Chapter 559 Hunting Competition

Marhan looked at all the participants and said, "This island has the size of a small city. We have also built roads all over the island to allow our teams to move freely.

"As such, you can use these roads to travel around the island.

"There are no buildings you can use since we don't need to maintain this place, considering it has been surrounded by the sea. Hence, no beasts will travel outside.

"We have been thinning out their number once every month. Right now, it has been about 24 days since the last activity, so there should be a large number of beasts occupying this island.

"The area underneath this place has the threat level 7. However, Tier 7 beast rarely comes to the surface. At most, Tier 6. And it usually appears one or two times a year.

"If there is a Tier 6 or even Tier 7, the training will be canceled and I will immediately take action, eliminating.

"It doesn't matter whether you have the strength to kill the Tier 6 beast or not. If you end up taking it down, it means insubordination. You will be immediately disqualified from the competition.

"Last but not least, to make sure everything is fair, we have split the island into two diagonally. Is there any question before I do the coin toss?" Marhan asked.

"No." Christina shook her head.

Clovis raised a finger. "I have one."

"Ask away."

"Are you going to stay here all the time, Sir Marhan?"

"Yes. To avoid favoring anyone, I will remain on the boat. We'll be 50 meters away so that my presence won't bother the beasts on this island. And it's enough distance to cover in a single leap, which will allow me to react almost immediately in case of emergency."

Clovis nodded. "Understood. Thank you for the clarification."

"Alright then." Marhan took out a coin from his pocket. "Head or tail?"

Clovis and Christina looked at each other. Both of them smiled as they answered at the same time.

"Head," said Clovis.

If her grandfather visited the art room, his strength might progress by leaps and bounds. He would become even scarier.

Looking at the tempted face, Clovis had one more thing he wanted to give. This would be a kind of introduction.

After interacting with Hana for a while, he knew that giving this item wouldn't cause as much ruckus as before.

Hence, Clovis took out a ring from his pocket. "And I will let you keep this. But don't tell anyone about this ring."

The others couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Clovis. Are you sure about that?" Kanaria stood up.

"Yeah. It's fine right now. If she is still like the greedy little pig she was, I wouldn't have made this decision. Let's just say this is an introduction." Even though Clovis said it this way, it was more accurate that Clovis decided to expand his wealth through Hana, not anyone else.

"Well, if you say so." Kanaria nodded and sat down.

"Hey, hey. I also need a ring. Why did you not give me a ring?!" Luci raised her hand, protesting.

"You, shut up for a moment. You're going to make her misunderstand!"

And she did. Hana looked at the ring and asked with a dumbfounded expression. "I am happy that you feel that way to me, but isn't this too early?"

Clovis pinched the bridge of his nose. "Just wear it first and you will understand. But this is not an engagement ring, so please don't misunderstand."

"Is that so?" Hana dumbfoundedly inserted the ring into her middle finger.

In that instant, her mind felt refreshed and it felt like her body was floating. If she moved around, she felt like she would move much faster and with less effort.

"This is..." Hana gasped. Her eyes were going back and forth between the ring and Clovis as if she couldn't even describe what kind of feeling she currently had.

Her mouth was shaking as if trying to form a word, but ultimately, she repositioned the ring from her middle finger to her ring finger. Clovis told her not to misunderstand but she actually did exactly what Clovis tried to avoid. "This position is much better. I might be inexperienced, but please take care of me."

Clovis facepalmed as though he had expected this. "Don't be like Luci please... I beg you."
