CHAPTER 831: FLIPPING THE SITUATION

"Bye!" Clovis smiled as he ran away. He even waved his hand as if he were trying to provoke Mr. K.

"Clovis Hacfield!" Mr. K was furious. He realized Clovis had been fooling him the whole time.

Clovis entering the cave with his entire team was not part of his sincerity. It was part of his scheme to lower his guard.

And he succeeded. Thanks to his choice, he even told him about the briefcase that contained the information of the mission.

Now that Stefany was gone, there was no way their side could bring 6 Tier 7 humans. Three of them had to leave the group, leaving their group with only 17 people.

His biggest miscalculation was that bird. He never thought Clovis would have this bird as a trump card.

It turned out Clovis could tame not just a wolf but other beasts. And it was not just any other beast. It was a specialized and strong beast.

In other words, if they wanted to take down the beast, they would have to think they were fighting an overlord beast.

If they thought about this, Clovis’ team looked like it had 22 people.

In other words, the battle had shifted to 17 vs 22 people.

No, Clovis might even have another beast in his possession, and they simply didn’t know it yet.

If they didn’t do anything, Clovis could simply return to the city and be done with the mission. In other words, it would be a total disaster for them.

Mr. K shouted, "We have to chase them!"

The group rushed toward the exit, not planning to let Clovis get away.

Unfortunately, this was another trap.

As soon as Clovis exited the cave, he shouted, "Snipers! To your positions!"

"!!!" Kanaria and the others widened their eyes in surprise. They could see what Clovis planned to do.

Kanaria was the first to react. She unleashed her beast soul as a pair of butterfly wings emerged from her back. She flew into the sky and landed on a branch slightly far from the people.

"Well, it looks like I have to do it as well..." Rin smiled wryly and chose her own position. She finally figured out why the Libation Fiesta was a very powerful team.

After joining the battle, she had seen a lot of shocking things about this team. Still, it was nothing to be compared to what she saw from Clovis.

’Not only does he have a unique ability, but he also has a good enough brain to come up with such a clever trick. There’s also that bird...’

Rin couldn’t help but become a bit more interested in whatever Clovis actually possessed. From the unknown ingredients to the beasts, Clovis might actually become one of the top-tier groups.

It reminded her of what her father had said regarding her own experience. Her father once traveled around the world to learn about all the ingredients. She, too, might go on a journey.

Nevertheless, there was an opponent they had to beat. All of them had positioned themselves.

Christina and the two guardians from the Three Swords stood in front, while Ragna remained at the back, getting ready for whatever the enemies were going to throw at them.

On the other hand, Rea descended to the ground and put down Stefany and the briefcase.

"Melody, Luci!"

"On it." Melody hurriedly retrieved the briefcase, while Luci checked Stefany’s condition. Then, Rea took off into the sky to watch over the ceiling of the cave, making sure no one was coming from that place.

The moment Mr. K exited the cave, he instantly realized that the situation had been flipped over.

"!!!" Mr. K widened his eyes in shock.

"..." The one-eyed swordsman squinted his eyes.

"Well, well, well... Our situation has been completely flipped over now." Clovis grinned.

Mr. K clenched his fists. This time, it was Clovis who became the defender. Meanwhile, the R.A.I.D. would definitely be dead if they chose to fight.

"Kh..." Mr. K didn’t know what to say. His head was filled with his anger. If Clovis hadn’t tricked them, they wouldn’t be in this situation. "You bastard. Do you think you will get away with this? Don’t you know that trust is number one in our line of business? Good job at destroying your integrity."

"Not really. I haven’t lied to you the whole time, Mr. K." Clovis smirked. "I never said I agreed to your proposal. I was only considering it."

"You..." Mr. K definitely couldn’t deny it. Clovis had never openly agreed to it.

"Besides, this is also my integrity. Vina has helped my Libation Fiesta, so of course, I should help her back."

"Clovis..." Vina was moved. In fact, she felt bad after thinking Clovis had betrayed her. All this time, Clovis had been on her side. She was the only one who didn’t believe him.

Thanks to this, Vina had much higher trust in Clovis, which would be beneficial for Clovis in the future.

Clovis demanded, "R.A.I.D. will leave the country. I don’t think that Albert-whatever is in this country, so leave this country because I plan to end this succession battle now. Once you agree, we will let you out, and the Libation Fiesta and the Three Swords won’t have anything to do with the R.A.I.D. anymore.

"Of course, until the next clash when Vina faces the person you support. But that’s for another occasion. What do you think?"

Clovis’s demand was much more generous than Mr. K’s demand earlier. Instead of forcing him to betray, Clovis let him return to his master.

This was Clovis’s strategy. If he pushed this person into a corner, he would probably fight back no matter the cost. So, it would be better to end this matter peacefully unless it was necessary.

He didn’t just consider the Libation Fiesta. He put the Three Swords’ standing into the equation.

Mr. K’s face darkened. He had to make a hard decision. No one would blame Clovis for killing some of them if Mr. K chose to fight.

What Mr. K and Clovis didn’t expect was for the one-eyed swordsman to be the one holding the key that could change the outcome.

Suddenly, someone blew a whistle out loud, startling both Mr. K and Clovis.

However, it was indeed coming from Mr. K’s side. Following that whistle, roars echoed across the entire forest as if the whistle were provoking them.

"Motherfucker." Clovis clicked his tongue. "You started it!"
