"Are you sure about this?" A young man asked while looking at Clovis's group with his binoculars. "If I'm not wrong, their members are from Havenson and Renvolt, right?"

The middle-aged man next to him said, "It's already common knowledge that the Renvolt and Rusth families are fighting. The Havenson family is currently backing up the Renvolt family, but because of the recent incident, the Drake Group joined hands.

"However, I've heard that there is another force involved in this situation. I am not sure about it, but according to our intel, they are much stronger than the Renvolt and Havenson families."

"What?" The young man gasped. "Are we picking a side now?"

"Not really. We are just a small explorer group that doesn't have any backing. We are lacking a lot of funds, so we don't have any choice."

"Is the pay that good?"

"Yeah. A hundred thousand per head, three hundred thousand for that girl." The man nodded.

"Well…" The young man couldn't really reply back after he said that. At the same time, a loud *bang* echoed inside the city, alarming both of them. "They are moving!"

"I will activate the jamming device." The man hurriedly went down and activated a device with a stick-shaped head. Once activated, the jamming device disrupted telecommunications in a large area.

"…" The young man kept observing their movements. "Damn. Those two guys are strong. The information said they are only Tier 1, but are we really picking a fight with them? Then again, the Drake Group also has a genius that is said to be the most talented in the city."

The young man was so occupied with Clovis and Jay's movements that he didn't realize that Kanaria had gone.

"How is the situation?" The middle-aged man returned.

"They are still in their place. By the way, if we want to kill them, can we just snipe them from here?"

"I'm not sure about it as well. But that lady said that we couldn't kill them directly. The only way to kill them is to let the beasts do it. All we can do is interfere with their equipment."

"What? That's annoying." The young man rolled his eyes. "What's wrong with all these big families?"

"Anyway, what's their situation?"

"They are still—" The young man abruptly stopped when he saw the beasts split into two groups. Clovis and Jay were now being covered by the building. When he saw this change, he hurriedly tried to find Kanaria but to no avail. "They are gone. It seems they have noticed us."

The man immediately grabbed him while saying, "That's it. We'll be hiding downstairs. If they are coming for us, we will retreat according to our escape plan."

"Alright." The young man followed the middle-aged man to take cover from the building. But he was kind of curious about how Clovis and Jay fought.

Unbeknownst to him, following his superior was the best thing he could ever do.

Not long after he hid inside the building, Kanaria had reached another building and came out to check on the one messing with their equipment. However, even when she checked all the rooftops, she couldn't find anything.

"This is getting annoying. This area is a business district, so a lot of buildings are pretty tall. Checking every single floor will take a lot of time and will simply expose my location."

Kanaria furrowed her eyebrows, wondering if there were any ways to deal with this.

Suddenly, a screen appeared on Kanaria's skyglasses.

The screen showed her the city's map with a few marks. There were four green dots, which were definitely them. There was a big red dot with a few circles that indicated the jamming equipment.

When Kanaria raised her head again, she saw an arrow pointing in the direction of the jamming device. It seemed that she worked on her way to deal with the jamming device and gave this information to her, who was the only one who could do it.

Since that was the case, Kanaria hurriedly came out to check the building that the arrow pointed at. However, she soon realized that she could find nothing on the roof.

"Inside the building? But I have to get a bit closer if I want to find it." Kanaria's expression turned solemn. On the one hand, she wanted to find the culprit and destroy the device. On the other hand, she was worried about Clovis and Jay.

While she was thinking, Clovis actually crashed into the wall.

"Kh." Clovis gritted his teeth, glaring at the Tier 2 megalania. "This damn lizard."

He was simply trying to go to Melody to protect her, but the Tier 2 lizard actually came to him.

Despite its giant body, the lizard was extremely fast.

After Clovis crashed into the wall, the lizard instantly closed the gap between them and waved its tail to pin him onto the wall.

Clovis ducked, avoiding the tail. However, two of the beasts surrounded him from two sides. Clovis shot the one on the left while striking down the other one with his sword. But this also meant that Clovis didn't have anything to block the attack from the lizard.

Without hesitation, the lizard flapped its tail and struck Clovis from his left.

Clovis raised his left arm to block it, but the impact knocked him down. Fortunately, the shirt was made of special material or his arm might be torn off. In addition, he was wearing the jacket he bought from the Another World Mall, the one that gave him 'Defense +7,' which allowed him to completely block the lizard tail as if wearing an iron gauntlet.

Clovis hurriedly shot the lizard multiple times, but the lizard skillfully twisted its body so that only a non-vital area got hit.

The other beasts were also approaching, so Clovis had no choice but to go up. It was at this time that a screen appeared in front of him. It was a rather large screen, but on the side to avoid blocking Clovis's sight.

There were only a few words on it.

"I'm safe. Kill them all."
