"!!!" Hana was in shock. Although Clovis couldn't tell everything about his unique ability in a call, she could actually receive the same treatment as Clovis when they met?

This was simply too absurd. Hana had a hard time containing her excitement, but there was still one thing that bothered her.

Clovis wasn't the type of person that called for no reason on his journey. Although she had been distracted by his face this whole time, it might be better to return to the main topic.

This was definitely not her way to persuade Clovis to give her that treatment… definitely.

Hana asked, "So, why do you call me? There aren't many reasons I can think of. But most of the time, it's probably about money…"

Clovis smiled wryly. "That is indeed correct. Actually, I have used my unique abilities on a few accessories.

"I can let you use some, but you shouldn't sell them yet."

"!!!" Hana widened her eyes in shock. Even if Clovis gave her the accessory, it would be hard to measure the worth of that accessory in a short time. An auction had to be established as well.

Receiving the accessories early would allow her to appraise the accessories and understand their value as well as prepare other things.

At the same time, she realized this was also a test from Clovis. It was a test for her greed. If Hana ended up selling it under the table before he gave his permission, the trust between them would be broken.

Clovis didn't mind her greedy personality, but greed also had its limits. If it was simply going to destroy things around her, it was better to find it out sooner and end things.

Hana took a deep breath before asking, "Are you sure you're going to give me all that?"

Clovis nodded. "Yes, after I return."

Hana thought for a moment before asking, "By the way, how much money do you need this time? Because of the rapid expansion, my cash is quite low."

Clovis raised two fingers. "One or two billion should be enough."

"That much?" Hana widened her eyes in surprise.

"You don't have it?"

"Mhmmm…" Hana let out a long sigh. "But don't worry. I can prepare it. When do you need it? Today?"

"Tomorrow is fine."

Hana nodded. "In that case, I will borrow some money from my grandfather."

"Sir Jeremy?"

"Yes. My grandfather is not as ambitious anymore, so he should have plenty of cash. Don't worry. I won't tell him about you. Instead, I will ask for some pocket money for smaller projects."

"Is it fine?"

"Of course." Hana nodded. "You don't have to worry about it. Haven't I told you before? I'm going to earn money for you. You are going to use your money so I can earn even more money.

"Besides, two billion is a small number. As more and more branches open, more money will enter our pockets. Of course, getting a loan from a bank is also an option, but I'd rather not have a conversation with them unless it's necessary."

Clovis nodded in understanding. "Thank you."

"You may know this, but this is not free." Hana's eyes flashed. "Once you return, give me the accessories. Also, I want to try that treatment like… right away! I want the treatment. Or can I just go to you right now?"

Clovis smiled wryly before shaking his head. "It's fine, isn't it? Anyway, I promise that you will be the first one to see the true form of my unique ability after I return."

"Promise?"

"Yeah. I promise."

"All right then." Hana was smiling from ear to ear. This time, Clovis didn't know whether that smile formed because of the money she could potentially earn from the accessories or the treatment from his mall. It might be both.

However, Hana had been an important partner for Clovis. He could do this much for her.

Clovis raised two fingers. "It has been a year since I started my training. It looks like it's going to end soon… approximately 3 to 6 months."

"I will keep it in mind. If you need any help, you can contact me. Even if it's another country, I can send my battleship to fetch you."

"Ahaha." Clovis chuckled. "Anyway, I'm going to hang up. I have to call the others to show them I'm fine."

Before nodding her head, Hana raised one finger. "Don't forget. I'm going to be the first one to receive the treatment."

It looked like Hana had already known that the other girls would be interested in the treatment, so she had to remind him she would be the first one.

Clovis was speechless, but he nodded his head before hanging up the call. As she expected, the moment he called Jay and the others, they went frenzied.

Kanaria, Lucifania, and Christina were demanding the same thing right away. Even Melody, who rarely cared about her appearance, showed an interest.

Aileen showed her interest by sending Erwin. Erwin asked him as his left-hand man.

Only Jay and Ragna weren't interested in it. Jay looked as if he had already married his sword, while Ragna didn't have any particular interest in his appearance because it couldn't make him muscular, which was what he truly desired.

Jay and the others were training extremely hard. Surprisingly, Dante was interested in becoming a manager.

It might be due to the injury that he didn't plan to become an explorer despite being awakened. In fact, his absorption rate was 96%, which was actually 2% more than Melody's.

However, he actually wanted to become someone similar to Rena. As if to repay Clovis' kindness for saving him, he wanted to help Libation Fiesta as a manager.

Melody supported him as well, so Hana took care of Dante by training him in her company. Besides, he couldn't study before due to his condition. The managerial position didn't require extensive knowledge, so it was a perfect position for Dante.

Clovis had told him about his next plan after hearing his grandfather's advice, and the group would move according to his direction.

…

6 months later.

It had been 18 months since the beginning of his training, but Clovis finally completed his training.
