Another World Mall

Chapter 328 After the Competition

"Congratulations for being the first loser." Erwin was actually waiting for him outside the medical room, along with Ragna and the others.

Clovis chuckled. "Indeed."

"Well, I shouldn't be here for too long since we will be holding a party for the first loser tonight..." Erwin paused for a moment. His expression turned serious as Erwin actually lowered his head. "Thank you, Clovis."

"Mhmm?" Clovis looked surprised since he didn't expect someone as prideful as Erwin to lower his head. "Please raise your head. What is this all about? Is it because of the battle?"

"No." Erwin shook his head. He had confirmed one thing when he saw Aileen's expression after losing. "I'm grateful because you have become a wall that Aileen can strive to overcome."

"Oi, oi. Are you sacrificing me for her?"

"What are you talking about? It's for myself. Now that she can become stronger, it means that I can progress much faster chasing after her back. Next time, I will be the one to defeat her. After that, it will be you."

"Hahaha." Clovis chuckled.

"Anyway, I've said my pieces. It's time for me to leave. Just don't collapse before our party." Erwin smirked. "The reporters will definitely love to chat with you."

"..." Clovis smiled wryly as he watched Erwin leave. He then opened his mouth and said, "Kanaria—!"

Before he could say what he wanted, someone grabbed his shoulder from behind. Kanaria's face suddenly poked out over his shoulder. Even though she was smiling, her expression was extremely dark.

"I'm going to accompany you in the interview, but you have to handle the interview yourself."

"..." Clovis shuddered. He ended up scratching the back of his head, aware that he was the one making that decision. "Alright..."

...

...

"Is he... dead?" Erwin chuckled.

Kanaria shrugged. "It was his fault for doing that. All the anger was directed at him. One single mistake would have destroyed him."

"Hahahaha!" Erwin laughed out loud. "Serve you right!"

Clovis raised his head, showing his tired expression. "So, when are you going to come to my group, Erwin?"

"!!!" Hana, Tarkan, and the others couldn't help but frown as if they didn't believe Clovis actually invited him.

Even Aileen secretly glanced at Erwin, wanting to know his answer.

"You truly don't hold back, don't you? You drop one bomb after another..." Erwin sighed. "My answer remains the same. Come to my city first before we talk about that."

"What are you being so secretive about? It's not like you're not interested in my group."

Erwin smiled. "After knowing your true identity, of course, I'd be curious. It would be weird if that didn't pique my interest."

"True identity?" Aileen and the others became curious. Now that they thought about it, Clovis didn't have a family name, which is quite rare in the current generation. In addition, Erwin mentioned that his family name was erased previously.

It seemed that Erwin had figured out Clovis' true identity. And it was big enough to pique Erwin's interest. They would be lying if they weren't curious about it.

"Come on. Let's eat first. We can talk later." Erwin shrugged. "Still, I'm quite curious about that trump card of yours, Clovis. You felt like a different person back then."

Aileen was also interested in that answer since she lost because of it.

Clovis stuck out his tongue and said, "Become a part of the Libation Fiesta first, then I'll tell you."

"You're truly persistent. If you want to recruit someone right now..." Erwin pointed at the person next to him. "Why don't you invite Aileen first?"
