After getting out of bed, I started doing my morning routine. The routine lasted for one hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I went to the bathroom to take a shower. I spent 20 minutes in the bath. After walking out, I changed into fresh clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The clothes were common warrior clothes. It was not the uniform of Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t use any mask to cover my face because the whole idea was to lure out the planted spies. The mission was to find them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem with the planted spies was that they were part of the Territory. Most of them had already been wiped out by Dean Jerome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were still lurking forces here. I gained some clarity in my thoughts. Then I took a deep breath before opening the door and walking out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked outside and saw the bright daylight. The skies were blue. The sound of birds chirping could be heard. Then I observed the place for a few minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I walked downstairs and reached the first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were customers coming and going. I turned towards the staff behind the help desk. They looked at me as well, so I nodded to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I exited the inn. I decided to have some food. I came to the main street. My gaze swept across the place. There were businesses running across the street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw one of the good restaurants. There was a considerable crowd inside. Then I walked towards the shop. I went inside and found an empty table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I sat down and waited for the staff to come. When the staff came, I ordered a few foods. The staff left to get the food ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, I began to hear the conversations in the shop. I perked up my ears to listen to the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wanted to know what the people were talking about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The crimes are increasing day by day. The administration is not paying attention to that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Most of the robberies are done by the powerful Warriors.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We have to be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, it’s the job of the officials to do their job.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors were talking to each other. They were not the only ones who were talking. There were warriors at other tables discussing the same thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was surprised. I didn’t expect the crime rates to be this high. I continued to listen to more conversations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was here to find the planted spies, so I was expecting someone to speak about Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, I heard my name at one of the tables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five middle-aged people with burly builds were seated around a circular table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That brat Zack Lockwood has left Star University.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The higher-ups have left the city to look for his whereabouts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they find him, then they will get huge rewards.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn, if we could get some of that wealth, it would be great.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors started discussing it. On the other hand, I was listening to their conversations. I had to confirm whether they were planted spies or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had yet to discuss the foreign creature. I decided to follow these people. Why did their higher-ups want to capture me?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick gleam appeared in my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the staff brought my food. He placed it on the table. Then I began to enjoy the food. At the same time, I kept an eye on those people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five warriors stood up and were about to leave the shop. Seeing that, I stopped eating. Then I immediately paid the bill before leaving the shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five people had already left the shop earlier. My gaze swept across the street. I immediately used my perception. My mental power covered the surrounding area in a circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I saw the five warriors behind the street. The next second, I entered the next alley to reach the wide road behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I got there, I encountered the five warriors. I ran right into them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The five middle-aged people were taken aback. They were all Gold and Purple Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, young man. Where are your eyes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, his face seems to be familiar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who are you, young man?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged men asked back-to-back questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I decided to play along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have got a mission from the foreign creatures. They have told us to leave the city. Our identities were exposed,\" I said to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faces of the five people changed drastically. They looked at the young man. They found the young man was terrified as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, one of the five warriors got flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it’s true, then we have to leave the city. If the people in Star University find out, then they will destroy the whole family behind us,\" he said in a grim tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You stupid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second warrior said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don’t know whether he is speaking the truth or not,\" he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three remaining warriors looked toward the young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, who are you?\" a Purple Mark Warrior asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I remained silent. But I was excited. I was finding it hard to control the excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I darted out from the spot. In a flash, I appeared before the Purple Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly middle-aged man was stunned at first. Then he sneered. He saw the strength of the young man. He was only a Gold Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other warriors had the same thought as well. Once they captured him, then they would interrogate everything from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man punched forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I evaded the punch. A purple-colored lightning covered my fist. The next second, I rocketed my fist forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, a powerful fist landed on the chest of the Purple Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, the Purple Mark Warrior felt like a huge mountain slammed into his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sent flying away. His body went in a parabolic arc before crashing into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faces of the other warriors changed drastically. I didn’t give them a chance either. I quickly appeared next to them and struck them using my fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few minutes, the four warriors crashed onto the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>",1048,"2026-06-05T15:57:28.698Z",1,"novelbin.me","7789912f227428bc6267720926bfe860467253e77a51633034d2106a93c53cc3",null,"ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1497","https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
