Another World Mall

Chapter 371 Identity

"That's what I'm planning to find out."

Their eyes were locked on each other.

Clovis' fingers were twitching, as if he wanted to hold his swords tighter before swinging them at the woman in front of him. However, both of his swords had been knocked off his hands, so he couldn't do anything. In addition, this woman was much more powerful than him.

Although he didn't know much about this person's identity, he knew whatever he was trying to do would be impossible.

And he was also a bit curious about the glitch that occurred.

When Mara was staring into his eyes, Clovis felt a strange sensation. On the one hand, it was like she was searching for something. On the other hand, her gaze felt hollow, as if she had no personality.

"Please… allow me to check my friend's condition first." Clovis opened his mouth, breaking the silence.

To his surprise, she casually let him go as if it wasn't a big deal.

More importantly, she didn't threaten him or something. No, she didn't even say a single word after looking into his eyes.

Clovis hesitated for a moment before going to Erwin, who seemed to have passed out. Fortunately, Erwin seemed to be fine. The blood that came out of his eyes was more like the body releasing excess blood due to intense pressure. However, he couldn't see a single injury. He could probably use an item from the grocery store to help him recover from the internal injury.

Of course, after grabbing Erwin, Clovis thought about escaping, but that thought disappeared almost in an instant. He didn't want to make this strong woman hostile to him for the time being.

Hence, Clovis carried him and allowed him to lie down more comfortably on the ground.

"Sorry for making you wait." Clovis took a deep breath. "I'll cooperate with what you want, but please leave my friend alone."

"In that case, follow me." Mara nodded.

Clovis took out his Skyphone and sent a message to Erwin, telling him that he didn't need to worry about him. "I understand. Where should we go?"

Mara didn't reply to that question. She simply walked at a normal pace as if she didn't bother to use her extraordinary speed to leave this place.

Clovis followed right behind her. But never in his wildest dreams would he imagine that the place she brought him was a fast food restaurant not far from their current location.

"Eh?" Clovis blinked a few times as he couldn't believe it. The mysterious woman was actually lining up with the rest of the citizens and buying three burgers and three drinks like any normal person here.

"What's wrong? Is it not enough?" She asked.

"No…" Clovis scratched the back of his head. "It's just… I have never expected you to lead me here." Still, the most ridiculous thing was that she didn't bother to use her strength or identity to get served first. After all, it was normal for people to use their identities to get a special privilege.

"Do you prefer a high-end restaurant?" she asked.

"…" Clovis hesitated.

"I don't really care about the place. No matter where I go, the food and drink are tasteless." Mara closed her eyes.

Clovis raised his eyebrows, not expecting that she would share personal information this way. In fact, Mara was an oddity. She wasn't the exact opposite of what he had in mind for someone strong, of course, except for her ridiculous strength.

Nevertheless, there was something more important than her information. Clovis chose to open the conversation by asking, "I apologize if I'm being rude, but may I know what you're trying to find out? I don't think I can help you."

"I came here just because it's slightly more interesting. It's not like I have anywhere to go, so I just come here because I don't have anything to do. So, I merely followed the system to this place, you."

"Me? The system?" Clovis pointed at himself, confused.

"You're not the system, but the chosen one like me."

"First of all, I don't understand this whole situation. What do you mean by the system? If you don't like to explain, then you can ask me any questions and I'll just answer them. I hope that you can let me go after this." Clovis explained his intention.

However, Mara simply said, "I never kidnapped you or anything. This whole time, you were under the impression that you had to follow me."

Clovis frowned. "Are you saying that if I leave right now, you won't do anything to me or my friend?"

"Yes." Mara confirmed it with a nod. "I'm here just to find out more about the system. If you don't want to talk about it, you can just refuse."

Clovis looked at her in disbelief. "Are you sure about that?"

"If you threaten someone from a position of power, you'll look like a fool." Mara shook her head. "If you don't have another question, why don't we continue talking about the system?"

Clovis contemplated for a moment. If what she said was true, he could leave right away. But it also meant he wouldn't know more about the system glitches he experienced.

"In that case, can you tell me more about the system itself? If I know something more, I might be able to explain my experience better."

Mara took another bite of the hamburger first before saying, "I don't know much either. I have been seeing it for four years. I guess it started when I evolved into a Tier 8 human. Now that I have become a Tier 9 human, I can sense it a bit more."

"Tier…What?" Clovis dropped his jaw. "You are… Tier 9?"

Clovis shuddered. He couldn't believe that the woman before him was actually a Tier 9 human.

'No. Think about it carefully, there are only ten Tier 9 humans in the world. There's no way someone will be bold enough to impersonate them. But she is so young… How old is she right now? She looks like someone in her prime, maybe in her early thirties…

'Wait. Young? If I'm not wrong, there is a Tier 9 human who is said to have become the youngest Tier 9 human in the world. Because she has been wandering alone, no one can really predict her position. There isn't a lot of information about her as well.

'Don't tell me, she is that person? The one people called Bloody Queen, Mara Leverstrike?'
