Chapter 1120: Choices

"Clovis Hacfield has just finished his engagement party. Who are his brides?"

"Clovis Hacfield finalized his relationship."

"The Hacfield family gaining new allies?"

"Clovis’s engagement party. Who were invited?"

There was a lot of news related to Clovis’ engagement. Clovis didn’t expect anyone to close their mouths. A lot of people were also snooping around.

That was why he didn’t reveal the last two brides.

Compared to Mara, Vina’s identity was much more sensitive because she was going to be the next Ghost. The Ghost’s identity had remained secret all this time, so the Ghost’s successor would need to be the same.

The reactions to Clovis’ engagement varied.

Most people were actually talking about the guests at this engagement party. There were a lot of rumors, but most of the articles wrote the same thing. Clovis invited only his family. No one outside the family was invited, whether they were government officials or even the president himself.

In fact, even his agent, Rena, was notified, not invited. That was why people immediately talked about it.

"Is he being cold? So, no one is invited?"

"How can you say no one is invited? He has invited all his family."

"Bro, just let the man have a peaceful time with his family."

"I know, right? Respect him if he wants to keep his family matters private. What’s wrong with that?"

Most people actually supported Clovis since it wasn’t wrong to want to avoid media exposure at such an important time.

However, the next question was the brides. Only five names came up. They were Kanaria Renvolt, Melody, Lucifania, Christina Elseingarde, and Hana Skylark.

"Imagine. Your wives are strong enough to gang up and defeat you."

"Kanaria Renvolt is actually the woman who has been behind Clovis’ reconstruction projects. She’s the reason that the projects can move fast."

"I heard Melody was supposed to be the manager of the Libation Fiesta. She acted in Clovis’s shadow, but most of the time, the matters were handled by her instead of Clovis."

"Lucifania is that genius doctor, right? The one who creates the recovery liquid."

"Christina Elseingarde is one of the candidates to become a Tier 9 human in the future."

"Hana Skylark is the most successful businesswoman in the world. Her net worth has actually surpassed her grandfather’s, who owns the Sky Group."

"Goddamn. All of them are actually related to Clovis from the beginning? Each of them can be successful on their own, but four of them are actually a part of the Libation Fiesta, while the last one is the sponsor of the Libation Fiesta?"

The news shocked him. After all, each of them was able to accomplish a lot of things on their own.

They didn’t realize that there were two more brides: one was the successor of one of the best information networks in the world, and the other was one of the strongest humans in the world.

If he didn’t hide this fact, the world would become even more chaotic.

After all, this meant that the Libation Fiesta was connected to three Tier 9 humans in the world, while having two people with the potential to become Tier 9 humans in the near future.

Soon enough, the Libation Fiesta, or more like the Hacfield family, would actually gain half of the world’s powers.

"This is hilarious." Melody showed Clovis the news while bringing him coffee. "Some people from the families must have revealed the information."

"It doesn’t matter." Auric shook his head. "I know that the more people are invited, the easier for the secret to be revealed. After all, they want to use the connection to me to bring more benefits to themselves."

"It’s going to be a lot more annoying from this point on."

"Yeah. We need to keep them in check from time to time, or else they’re going to mention that they’re related to me to bully other people." Clovis sighed. "I will ask Vina to search for information regarding our own people who are abusing their connection to me."

"They won’t like it, though."

"I don’t care. My status can give them privilege and some benefits, but if they’re going to abuse it and drag me down, it’s best to beat them up first." Clovis shrugged.

"Even if your wives are begging you?"

"I’m not heartless, but there are rules. It might be fine in my generation, but it will become even more complicated with our children in the picture, you know?"

"Fair enough. I guess we have no choice but to proceed carefully."

"Yeah." Clovis let out a long sigh. "Having a lot of wives or husbands means more connections. At the same time, it also means more headaches."

Melody chuckled. "You’re talking like an old man already."

Clovis stuck out his tongue. "Anyway, let’s have some fun first for the next few days. Then, we will begin planning for the next tower."

"Actually, we have made the plans. The girls are suggesting a few places. Besides, Erwin is also planning his own engagement party. From what I’ve heard, the Hatson family is signaling Jay about it as well, but they can’t show their anxiety, which Jay takes advantage of. Apparently, Jay intends to do it in one and a half years. At that time, we would have fought against the Prophet for the last tower, right?"

"That’s very clever of Jay. I guess that just suits him. He doesn’t want to have a headache handling this kind of thing before we fight the Prophet." Clovis chuckled.

"Yeah. There is actually one more thing I want to talk about."

"Hmm?" Clovis raised his eyebrows.

"Actually, I’ve been talking to several people about this." Melody took a deep breath. "I, Kanaria, Ragna, Luci, Rin, and Mara are not planning to eat any ingredients from the mall for the time being. Erwin and Aileen are still talking about it."

"What are you talking about?" Clovis widened his eyes in surprise.

"We want to focus on the people who have the chance to become Tier 9 to reach that level as quickly as possible to prepare for what’s about to come. That means you, Jay, Christina, and Angelia will be the main priority. Then, the next priority will be Erwin and Aileen."
