I didn’t have any problems for the time being. Unless someone came to the hotel to find me, I could safely stand here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Gold Mark Warriors were dead. Dark purple lightning had taken their lives by scorching their internal organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies lay limp on the ground, looking charred and dark. It didn’t take long for someone to appear on the narrow road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an old man who worked at a nearby shop. He usually came to the empty alley to meet with his friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He arrived as usual today. As he walked further into the road, his nose twitched. He smelled something bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there a house on fire?\" he asked himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man started looking at the surroundings. His gaze then fell on two charred corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heart jolted awake the next second. Horror was written all over the old man’s face. He couldn’t believe what he was witnessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smoke was coming from the charred corpses, not from a house fire. When the realization dawned on him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaahhhh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man turned around and started running frantically. He let out a scream while running.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the old man entered the busy street, his scream alerted others and drew the attention of the large crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned towards the old man. The shop owners and the staff working in those shops recognized him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were stunned to hear his scream. They didn’t know what had happened. Then, the staff came to the old man one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd gathered around him; they wanted to hear what was going on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man looked at the crowd and the familiar faces around him. He relaxed a lot, and the fear on his face reduced a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath before looking toward the others. Then, he told them about the two charred corpses lying in the nearby empty alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, everyone was shocked. A murder had happened near their street. They started walking towards the empty alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they arrived at the alley, they saw the two charred corpses. The smell was overpowering. The faces of the people turned ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They understood that the old man’s words were true. The female warriors immediately left the spot; if they stayed any longer, they felt they might faint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The male warriors were scared as well. They didn’t know who had killed them. The shop owners immediately reported it to the authorities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterwards,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The authorities came to the spot. They saw two corpses. Their faces changed as well. They didn’t know who had caused this murder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The authorities immediately took the corpses back to the infirmary. They needed to identify them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morton Redford was spotted by someone. He was taken to the nearest medical clinic. From his clothes, his identity was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he was given preferential treatment. His situation was reported to the higher-ups as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long for members of his medium-sized faction to arrive. They saw that one of their members was admitted there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They recognized Morton Redford and were shocked to the core. When they heard the news earlier, they hadn’t believed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew Morton Redford was a Silver Mark Warrior. His family was a second-tier family allied to the Klein Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the warriors from the top 10 Factions didn’t usually cause problems for him. Yet, he had been beaten to this state by someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They immediately took Morton Redford back to Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hotel\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, I was still waiting at the top of the hotel. My gaze fell on the people walking down below. So far, no warriors had come to the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It showed that no one suspected the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, three figures appeared in front of me. The three were none other than Faction Leader Clifford, Faction Leader Francesca, and the Purple Mark Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Phew!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them, I heaved a sigh of relief. I had been wondering where they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s time to leave,\" Faction Leader Clifford said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have completed our task. There is no need for you to worry anymore,\" Faction Leader Francesca said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was worried that Zack Lockwood might have gone outside during their mission time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn’t know that Zack Lockwood had indeed gone outside and taught a lesson to Morton Redford and the two Gold Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Gold Mark Warriors had died as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard was silent. He was observing Zack Lockwood’s reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t believe the kid had stayed silent and remained here at the top of the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I heard their words. I wanted to leave as well. I didn’t know the status of Morton Redford or the two Gold Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Clifford grabbed my shoulders. Then, the four of us started leaving for the campus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 20 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We reached the Star University campus. Faction Leader Clifford took me back to the Thunderflame Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dropped me directly in front of the residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I thought he would leave immediately, but Faction Leader Clifford looked at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you have a lot of questions. We did a major operation today. You will know tomorrow.\" After saying that, he disappeared from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stood there, stunned. \"What major operation?\" I asked myself. I was right; something major had happened. But I didn’t know anything about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hint of curiosity appeared in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I calmed my heart and returned to the residence. I immediately entered the bath to take a shower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bath lasted for 20 minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I walked out and changed into comfortable clothes. I went to the bed and lay on it. I looked at the ceiling and continued to contemplate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t know what was going to happen tomorrow. But I decided to meet Ronnie Seth. I believed he must be awake by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he learned about Morton Redford’s situation, he would be happy.\u003C\u002Fp>",1013,"2026-06-05T15:57:19.580Z",1,"novelbin.me","fd644828230cb6ea02c9b60a4d7a391cc6229a3182d89f84daea8d7f97f55ba9","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1348","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1346",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
