Chapter 1125: Upgrading the Mall

"Hey, hey! I’m back!" Hana opened the door while waving her hand.

"Welcome home." Clovis smiled. "I’ve been waiting for you."

"Are you waiting for me, or are you waiting for my money?" Hana smirked, teasing Clovis.

"Money? You have transferred that. If I’m not waiting for you, then who am I waiting for?" Clovis shook his head helplessly.

"This is the part where you should say, ’I’m waiting for you. Should I prove it?’ and carry me to the bedroom." Hana grinned.

"I only said that because it’s you." Clovis smiled. "Maybe you have changed so much that you start liking those cheesy lines."

Clovis waved his hand dramatically and fell to one knee as he held her hand and kissed the back of her hand. "Oh, my lady. I’ve been waiting for you."

Hana felt goosebumps. "I guess you really know me. I almost slapped you. Thank God I managed to resist the urge."

Clovis chuckled. While still holding her hand, he asked, "Shall we?"

"Of course. I’m also curious about the kind of store that is going to be opened this time." Hana nodded. "There are only two stores left, right?"

"Yes. There are only two stores left. The last upgrade will allow me to do something else. I’m not entirely understand what it’s all about either." Clovis shook his head helplessly.

"It’s fine. We can figure it out later. It’s not like we can upgrade it just because we want to." Hana shrugged. "Let’s go, let’s go. I have worked hard to ensure that I can come back at this time."

"Should I go to your company and drag you away? Maybe I will help with some work so that you can return home faster?"

"That’s a good idea, but only do that when you have nothing to do. For example, if you have become a Tier 9 human, and there’s nothing more in this world that can threaten you, I think it will be nice." Hana smiled.

Clovis chuckled before whispering, "Maybe in the future, I will also bring our kids around?"

If Clovis had said these words a few years ago, he would have sounded so creepy. She never thought there would come a day that instead of feeling creepy, she was actually looking forward to it.

"Maybe in the future. We will have to win first." Hana smiled. "We’d better win."

"Right?" Clovis smiled. "In that case, let’s go."

Clovis activated the ticket and finally went to the mall with Hana.

"Blue. I have made you wait." Clovis nodded to Blue.

[Are you now ready to upgrade your mall, Master?]

"Yes. It’s time to open a new retail store. I wonder what kind of store we’re going to have this time." Clovis was a bit looking forward to it. After seeing the travel agency, he realized that there was a reason why this store was among the last. If he had had this one from the beginning, the way he approached things would have changed.

In other words, Another World Mall had been doing its best to first make him get stronger. Once he physically became stronger, Another World Mall would then begin empowering him in different ways.

It could be said that his mall prioritized vertical growth first rather than horizontal growth.

With the travel agency, he was sure of it.

So, this next store shouldn’t be that different.

However, no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn’t imagine the store that could help him horizontally.

That was why he couldn’t help but feel a bit excited about it.

Clovis demanded, "Okay, Blue. Let’s do it. Please upgrade the mall!"

[Processing.]

[-1,500,000,000,000 Otherworldly Coins.]

[You’ve leveled up.]

[A new store has opened.]

Clovis first checked his status.

[Name: Clovis Hacfield]

[Membership: Level 43 (VVIP - 13)]

[Money: 2,155,988,568,000 Otherworld Coins.]

[Item Limit: 60/Visit]

[Visit: 12 (13)/Day]

Clovis nodded, satisfied. With this, there were only two levels left to go.

"If I’m not mistaken, the next upgrade will require 2.5 trillion, and the last upgrade will require 5 trillion." Clovis linked his lips. "Is it possible?"

"Yeah. I’ve been looking around for money, you know? That’s why I should be able to come up with 2.5 trillion in a few months. Well, if you want to add the trillions that will allow you to buy things, then yes. I should be able to get about 4 trillion in five to six months. The problem is the 5 trillion. I can produce it in another 6 months, but we also need money to do things after that upgrade.

"It will take an extremely long time before we procure that much money. From the looks of it, we are going to get married in 9 months. Everyone is hyping about it, and at that time, Mara doesn’t have to hide herself anymore. Vina is probably the same, right? But Vina is insisting on remaining hidden.

"In any case, the marriage date is in nine months. What is your schedule again?"

Clovis thought for a moment. "I’m planning to challenge the next tower in three months. This kind of news will be shocking, especially if they know that I now have Mara. They will have no choice but to fall back.

"Then, I will launch another assault on the last tower two weeks to one month after that. The Prophet should know not to throw away his piece after that. Instead, he will focus on convincing the two strongest people in the world to take his side.

"This will bring a big change to our plan, but this is more than enough. After all, I plan to have a wedding first and fight them about three months after that. Do you think it’s going to be possible? According to my grandfather, those two have their own principles. Even if the Prophet convinces them, they won’t attack us during the wedding.

"Besides, knowing the Prophet, he will most likely choose defensive warfare. So, we will go to them.

"Well, we will probably challenge the last tower in twelve months. Do you think it’s possible to gather the money before then?"
