Another World Mall-Chapter 696: Reactions

"…" Everyone fell silent. This was the first time they heard this information. They had always known Clovis for being miraculous, but they didn't expect it to be a unique ability.

At the same time, they finally understood why Clovis never really said anything.

Normally, people would call Clovis being unable to trust his teammates, who had gone through life and death together for so long.

However, for Kanaria and the others, who had seen Clovis' personality, they were aware that Clovis wanted to tell them about it this whole time.

The only reason he couldn't do it was because of his identity. That was right. If he were not from the Hacfield family, it would have been easier to reveal that secret.

But because he was linked to the Hacfield family, people would pay special attention to him. And what would happen if they knew that the child of the Hacfield family had a unique ability? The answer was pretty obvious. freewebnoveℓ.com

Telling them this information might lead them to be captured and tortured for that information. That was why Clovis didn't want them to know, so that people didn't have any reason to go after them.

Of course, he genuinely didn't know it was a unique ability until just a moment ago. Even so, Clovis understood the burden of a captain more than anyone else.

That was why he hid it this whole time. And the perfect time for him to tell them the truth was probably when he reached Tier 5 and met his parents.

It was just that this incident made Clovis tell them the truth much earlier than he originally intended.

Kanaria wanted to say something, but the words stuck in her throat. The others also wondered what they should say in this situation.

Only Jay acted indifferent to it. He asked, "So, you have all this miraculous stuff all the time? How many stores are there? I don't particularly care about the content, but I wonder how much you have utilized your unique ability. Do I have any way to help?"

"Eh?" Even Clovis was shocked by Jay's reaction.

"Eh, what?" Jay tilted his head in confusion.

"There are a lot of things you can say after knowing the truth, but that's your question?"

Jay shrugged. "Why not? You should really have a unique ability or else the Libation Fiesta will have a change in ownership."

Clovis was dumbfounded.

"Listen here. Do you use this unique ability with the intention of harming us?"

"No."

"Then do you have any intention of using us?"

"Of course not. You are my comrades."

"Then it's not a problem, right? Who cares about the heavy topics? Even the strongest people in the world begin from Tier 0. They use their wisdom, work hard, and even scheme against their opponents to get where they are now. I look at it in a simple way. As long as your conscience is clear, then it's okay!" Jay harrumphed.

Clovis smiled wryly. This vice captain of his was definitely a unique one, but this might also be why he could trust Jay more than anyone else.

Jay harrumphed. "So, can you answer my question? Do you need my help? How do you unlock the full potential of your unique ability? What kinds of stores do you have right now? Is there anything that can make us stronger so that we can help you unlock your full potential? If you become strong, we'll follow. Isn't that what your unique ability is all about?

"Use me. I will also use you to get stronger. Protect me, and I will protect your back with my life. It's that simple for me, Captain."

Clovis' expression melted, but it soon turned pale when he saw Kanaria's face was right beside Jay's.

"So, are you done talking, eh, Vice Captain?!"

"…" Jay finally understood Clovis' change of expression. He dragged himself to the side while saying with a shaking voice, not showing any resemblance to himself from a few seconds ago. "Please, Ma'am. Go ahead."

Kanaria glared at Clovis and said, "I don't think I need to tell you anything else, since Jay has said it all. If you're worried about your comrades, just take a look at your comrades. They're the people you pick. It's said that similar people tend to flock together, and from what I can see here, that statement is true. Just look at these people. Oddballs."

"…" Clovis glanced around.

"I don't care. You allow me to fully utilize my talent, so my goal will remain the same. I will protect you as long as I can still wield this shield." Ragna smiled.

Erwin crossed his arms. "So, I lose to a unique ability user. That's understandable. No, wait. Won't this information make my prestige even higher?"

"It's fine that way, but don't you dare to get another woman using that, okay?" Aileen glared at Erwin with a murderous intent. In fact, she instantly dropped such an important matter and fully focused on Erwin.

"…Yes, Ma'am."

Melody looked down, muttering, "A mall has a clinic, right? Does that mean if the treatment doesn't work, this magical power called Another World Mall that might have a clinic can help my brother? This might become my plan B." Just like Aileen, the only thing Melody cared about was her brother's well-being.

Lucifania had the biggest reaction as she went insane. While clutching her head, she muttered, "So, it's not about his blood? No, wait. He has two unique abilities. Does that mean studying his blood will allow me to figure out the secret of the unique ability? I'm going to get all the samples, blood…no, sperm, is it?"

"Woof!" Reolf simply wagged his tail as if the only thing he cared about was the fact Clovis was his master.

Christina smiled wryly. "You definitely have a weird party… This is fine, I guess." Christina couldn't help but look down, falling into a deep thought. The fact that Clovis had two unique abilities and, more importantly, his original unique ability could actually help others get stronger just made her grandfather even push her to Clovis.

"See?" Kanaria sighed. "Aren't you glad that all of us are oddballs? As Jay said, you don't have to blame yourself for hiding it this whole time. Instead, it's better for you to think about how to utilize it better. So, how do we help you utilize your unique ability? Can we help at all?"

Clovis smiled. "Everyone… Thank you…"

"No. Stop that thank you. I mean it. Answer the question already."

"…"
