Mr. Jones: "…"
To be honest, he was indeed surprised to see Mr. A being so blunt and direct in his question.
But at the same time, he realized that something must have happened to stimulate Mr. A so much.
Based on the question that Mr. A asked…
It could only be that someone had advanced to rank 7 and the government thought of looking for him because they couldn't contact Samuel and Riya. The former was because he had been staying in the crack for a long time while the latter was because the government didn't dare to contact directly.
After all, Riya's attitude was clear.
She handed over most of the negotiation over to Samuel and only talked with them very briefly about some matters.
And since she was inside the crack, the only time she came out was when she took the magic beasts' corpses that she asked them to collect and handed over a batch of space storage scrolls as per agreement.
At this moment, anyone who dared to have any other ideas were simply stopped at the very first step.
They couldn't even contact her.
How could they ask something from her?
"Samuel didn't tell me much about it, Mr. A," Mr. Jones replied helplessly. "He said that he will tell us only after we have reached rank 6 peak where he would help us to advance to rank 7."
It was not a complete lie.
Samuel did keep a backup of a file somewhere but he would only explain the content to them after they had reached sufficient rank. Knowing too much too early was not too good. Because they would only feel pressure from the knowledge without being able to utilize it.
Mr. A frowned.
He felt that Mr. Jones was not telling the truth.
How could Samuel not leave some kind of backup for his family members?
These returnees were all betting on their lives, advancing further and further away on the road to reach the peak. Their lives were in danger and those who still have family members would definitely leave something for them so that their lives wouldn't be too bad.
But at the same time, he could see that Mr. Jones was truly unwilling to tell more to them about this matter.
"In that case, did Samuel ever tell you about the rank 7 advancement ceremony?" Mr. A asked another question.
"Advancement ceremony?" Mr. Jones blinked his eyes and thought about it. "Samuel did mention that advancing from rank 6 to rank 7 required special preparation, but he didn't go into details about it."
After all, they were still too far away from reaching rank 7.
Samuel didn't want them to worry so much about it and planned to tell them in person if possible when one of them had the qualification to advance to rank 7.
Btu so far…
Well, their current qualification didn't seem to be that good.
"Is that so?" Mr. A was disappointed.
Special preparation.
All returnees said that, but they were unwilling to go into details about what kind of preparation they needed to advance to rank 7.
