Instead of staying close to the building, I went to the open front lot near the parking area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What should I do?\" I asked myself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fighting would continue for some time. Should I wait for the Elder to come out? If the Purple Mark Guard were to fight, then I doubted the arena would remain standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the event was being conducted illegally, he could destroy the building. After giving it some thought, I left the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, I found a cab service and returned to the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The spies were looking for Red Klein everywhere in the city, but there were no traces whatsoever. Instead, they confirmed the appearance of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had seen Zack Lockwood walk back into the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time went by,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard was in the fighting arena. The fighting was going to end soon. The Purple Mark Warriors over there were looking at him as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Purple Mark Guard sneered. He took his digital device out and started recording the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that, the faces of the warriors changed. They were doing this secretly; they didn’t expect someone to break the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they did anything now, then the fighting would be stopped. It would cause a loss for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were hesitating to make a decision, the Purple Mark Guard finished recording.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sent the video to Dean Jerome. Then, he started texting him about the illegal fighting arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he was done texting, he put back his device and relaxed a lot. He was now ready to go on a rampage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>2 hours later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole event came to an end. The Purple Mark Warriors over there were coming towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, he acted. He disappeared from the spot and appeared above them in an instant. He was stronger than those average Purple Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the warriors could realize it, they were struck hard. One after another, their bodies rocketed backwards before crashing into the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This all happened within seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard then swept his gaze across the place. He spotted a few other warriors, but they were all Gold and Silver Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, he knocked them out using his pressure. At the same time, those who came to watch the event were fleeing in panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outside dome structure was blasted open. The Purple Mark Guard then landed in the arena. He saw the underground passage and many cells on the sides of the passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly scanned the place and found out that monsters were hidden there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes flashed with a sharp glint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It appears families from the council are involved,\" he uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t move from the spot. Instead, he called the prison elders at Star University. He didn’t expect to call them so soon, but the matter was serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news about the fighting arena spread like wildfire. It was an event that had started not long ago, but the families behind it hadn’t gotten permission from Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had planned to run it low-key with minimum guests, but they had met with misfortune. When the news reached their ears, they were in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their illegal activity was exposed. They had their family elders stationed there, but they were all knocked down by the Purple Mark Guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the families involved, it included the Lark Family. They still didn’t know who had done this. Everyone assumed that Zack Lockwood had come alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they didn’t know he was accompanied by a powerful elder. That powerful elder had seen through the crimes happening here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lark Family\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cole Lark was in his study room. He was walking back and forth. The news came as a shock to him. They had started this event not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had decided to get permission from Dean Jerome sometime later, but they didn’t expect their activities to be exposed in this way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no explanation for Dean Jerome. They should have gone there to ask for permission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he heard someone standing outside. He then asked the person to enter. The person was none other than Council Elder Rebecca.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" Cole asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca’s eyes flashed with a glint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Someone from the Klein Family contacted me. They are ready to help us get out of the current predicament,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did they know?\" Cole asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even 30 minutes had passed, yet the Klein Family had got the news. His eyes then glinted with understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew their target was Zack Lockwood, so their entire attention was on the city. He knew the Klein Family was one of the powerful bloodline families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were connected to one of the top 10 factions in Star University. If they decided to help them, then the Lark Family could avoid maximum damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s all because of the kid,\" Cole uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca’s eyes flashed with a glint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Family Head, if not for the kid, our activities wouldn’t have been exposed. Now half of the families in the council are caught up in this mess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Other families will definitely use this opportunity to grow stronger. We should not reject the Klein Family’s help,\" Rebecca said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cole Lark’s eyes flickered. He could understand the cunningness of those people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then said, \"Alright, cooperate with them. But we will not use our men against Zack Lockwood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca smiled. She then nodded to him before leaving the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cole Lark went back to the main chair and sat on it. He had an uneasy feeling. He didn’t know what was going to happen next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star University\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome read the text messages. After reading them, he got angry. He didn’t expect the warrior families to start their illegal activities again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t even ask his permission. He thought he did best by sending Zack Lockwood for a mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was uncovering these illegal activities. He didn’t know what other cities were doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then ordered the prison elders to go to Dry Summit City as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>",1020,"2026-06-05T15:57:19.919Z",1,"novelbin.me","f7eeef6b942c836494978c957c103557f831702b9c7f02cbd56d0c9b68d9f004","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1371","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1369",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
