"Welcome to Hatson, Mr. Hacfield." A middle-aged man extended his hand.

Clovis shook his hand firmly. "Thank you, Mr. Hatson."

"There are a lot of Hatsons here, so please call me by name."

"I understand, Mr. Kalarn. Please call me by my name as well. You can be considered my elder, so no need for an honorific."

"If that's what you'd like me to do. Clovis."

Clovis nodded with a smile.

"I'm glad that you are doing well. As much as I want to invite you for dinner, the situation in this country won't allow us to do such a thing. There are many people who will try to ruin it, so I guess I can only hope for your understanding."

"Not at all. I'm already grateful that you are willing to help us." Clovis smiled.

"This way. Let me brief you on your expedition."

Kalarn led them to a room. Since this was a briefing, everyone from the Libation Fiesta attended it. Surprisingly, Tianna and Tienna were also sitting with them.

"I have been told that you would like to enter the nuclear zone and your target this time is a Tier 7 Megaloceros, correct?"

"Yes. The Tier 7 deer." Clovis nodded.

"A nuclear zone is a forbidden zone for tourists. And if that person is you, whose identity is extremely sensitive, I'm sure there will be a lot of things you need to do before you are granted permission to enter.

"Hence, a normal entry is not possible. We can only try to sneak you inside.

"Our Hatson family has our own channel." Kalarn projected a map onto the table. "Please take a look at this.

"In this area, there is a small entry affiliated with our family. We have paid the bribes, and the soldiers guarding there will be moving away for thirty minutes, and the CCTVs will be replaced to avoid any traces of you being there.

"However, it will be hard to explain if you end up disappearing after entering this country. People will definitely do their best to track you.

"So, we have to give you another mission to explain it to people. It is a mission that has been approved by GHOST as well.

"This mission is also a test to see whether you are strong enough to challenge this mission or not."

"And what is this mission?" Clovis' expression turned solemn.

"Please take a look at this." He projected two pictures. "Both of them are Tier 8 beasts. However, it is fortunate that they are not very far from the tower, so the tower's influence still weakens them to a certain extent, unlike normal Tier 8 beasts.

"You can even call them Tier 7.5 beasts. The mission is to kill the first beast in order to show people that you are taking your time to hunt these two beasts.

"This is important. You have to take down the first beast. We can make a lot of excuses, such as recuperating for the seven days you are in the nuclear zone. Then, after those seven days, the group will come for the second beast.

"For the second beast, you are allowed to retreat after some clashes. After all, we know the danger within the danger zone.

"The reasons we chose these two beasts are the location and the potential of the beast soul. The location of the beast is not far from the nuclear zone. You can reach the entrance within five hours.

"The potential of these two beasts dropping a beast soul is pretty high due to their potential. So, even though they are weakened, they are still pretty strong.

"But with this, hunting them is understandable."

Clovis nodded in agreement. "Still, how about the roads here? Will it cause a problem for us?"

"Not at all." We have secured a road that doesn't cross paths with any people. It might be a rough drive, but it is safe."

Clovis could understand the process. "Is that all?"

"No. We have another agent who claims to be affiliated with GHOST and you. She calls herself Vina. She will be the one manipulating the information and standing by in the group to show that you are still there."

"I see." Clovis nodded. Since it was Vina, she definitely had been instructed by his great-grandmother.

"And there is one last request. I wonder if you can agree to it."

"A request?"

"Yes." Kalarn paused for a moment. "To show that this is a kind of joint operation, in the case the beast soul indeed drops, our family will receive it. As for the essence, our family is willing to trade it for money."

"That's not a problem since it has been agreed upon. Is that the request?"

"No. The request is to have Tianna and Tienna join the mission."

"!!!" Clovis raised his eyebrows. The first thought in his mind was that he was the target. However, he didn't have any intention of doing it. Although they were good, they didn't have the qualities he was looking for.

If they wanted to join the Libation Fiesta, it was impossible because there was only one slot left, assuming the twelfth member was Mara.

As long as he maintained his boundaries, there should be no problem in letting them in. The problem would be their strength.

He had heard that Tianna and Tienna were Tier 7 humans. They both had pseudo unique abilities, which made them stronger than a normal Tier 7.

If they fought, Clovis had confidence he could defeat them because he had reached Tier 6.

"Just the two of them?" Clovis asked.

"Yes. I can promise you they won't be a burden."

"The command is still in my hands?"

"They have agreed to follow your instructions. Unless it's something unreasonable or extremely dangerous, they won't question your orders. If you agree, you can depart right now. All the equipment has been prepared here." He pointed to a certain area on the map.

Clovis paused for a moment before turning to Melody. "Is that alright with you, Melody?"

Melody was the one in charge of the details. Having additional people to command would take a toll on her.

In addition, there was also the matter of supplies. But Kalarn and the twins misunderstood it as Melody being the one in charge, not Clovis.

Melody thought for a moment before nodding her head. "We have brought 10 days' worth of supplies for the worst-case scenario. If there are only two of them, it should be possible. But there is no room for error."

Clovis nodded. "In that case, I will accept the request, Mr. Kalarn."
