Seeing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Viper City,\" I muttered to myself. I never expected to come here sooner. After a few minutes, the bird monster entered the city and the middle-aged man guided toward the monster facility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My destination is not here. Otherwise, I would have taken the time to explore the city alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bird monster landed in front of the monster facility. After stepping down, I bid goodbye to the person before walking away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The target location is 50 miles away from here. I can use my flight ability to cover the distance sooner. While hatching the plan in mind. I continued to walk on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streets look busy. I remember the last time we had to stop outside of the city wall before entering the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But academy people have access to enter the city whenever they want.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People are coming and going out of the shops. There are many restaurants on either side of the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I got the urge to consume something before going out. I haven't had breakfast either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I picked one of the busy shops to enter. I walked inside and glanced around the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I spotted two empty seats. Then I walked to take a seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, I ordered the energy-rich monster meat. My appearance didn't cause any noise. All of them are warriors here. And it's normal for people from different cities to come here to trade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the food was served. I started to gulp it down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, a middle-aged man with a slightly obese body greeted the customer enthusiastically. He was happy that the restaurant was filled with people. His name is Ronan Atick. The branch manager of a bright food restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After guiding him to the exit door. He glanced at the remaining customers. But his eyebrows trembled when he saw a certain someone. He immediately recognized the identity of the person who is eating right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack Lockwood,\" He muttered in his heart. For Ronan, it was not easy to maintain the business. By using his connection. He had managed to compete with other businesses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among his connections, one of them helped him greatly. That person has a connection with the Giant Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In return for helping his business run smoothly. That person requested something from him. Which is to share information on Saw Scaled Viper Academy Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he has been doing the work without alarming the officials. But he had never expected to see the big fish here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His friend has promised him a hefty amount. If he shares some important information on top warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After realizing this his fat body trembled slightly. In order not to show any suspicion. He quickly walked to his office room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed the door tightly before taking the seat. He then immediately typed and sent an encrypted message to his friend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After completing the food, I got up from the seat. Shortly after, I left the restaurant after paying the amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, I'm walking to the City Gate. Once I get out of the city, I will use my flight ability to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I reached the City Gate. There is a system installed to verify the identity. I used my academy identity number for verification. The entire Viper City is the property of an academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, I received the green signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A door opened between the iron wall. Seeing that I entered to walk out. The door leads towards the exit. But I'm surprised by the thickness of the City Wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a level-6 Monster won't be able to make a dent in it. After walking out of the door, I breathe in fresh outside air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The area outside is desolate. Outside of the City Wall, you can only find a vast open field. The lands were barren without any green dense vegetation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sighing~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sighing, I opened the map to view it. There is only one town which is 50 miles away from here. And I think it's the target location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After closing the map, I rose from the ground and began to fly toward the destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Tower:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The SSVA academy has an intelligent network. Similarly, the Giant Tower has its intelligence department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, one of the lower-level staff is looking at the message with a bewildered expression on their face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He doesn't know whether the information is true or not. He has known Ronan for a long time. Apart from working here, he too has a side business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was coincidental to meet someone from Viper City. But after a long time, their relationship became steady. He even used Ronan to gather intel on Saw Scaled Viper Academy Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the news is true, then he will get a big promotion. He calmed down before texting his friend again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, he received a positive reply from Ronan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha....Ha...Ha...,\" He let out joyful laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news is good to be true. But he believes Ronan won't lie to him. Because Zack Lockwood is a famous warrior. His appearance was long known to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So there was no possibility of a mistake here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hurriedly walked out of his room and rushed to the elder office. He should inform his direct superior. But he knows that sly b@stard would take credit for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While he is rushing, people look at him with strange gazes. Seeing that he sneered inside. \"It will be a matter of time before I get a promotion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I'll see your arrogant gazes then,\" He said in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He arrived in front of the elder's room. Looking at the high facility room. A dignified expression appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, you lowly s@um?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time some people spotted someone without authority coming here. Because the distinction can be seen in their dress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His uniform is given to bottom-level staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the smearing, he wasn't flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to see elder\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have some urgent news to share with him,\" He answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that people are surprised. But soon it was replaced with anger. Who is the elder? Why would someone like to see bottom-level staff?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors started to scold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Creak~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, the door in front of him opened automatically. He realized the elder is watching everything through the camera.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring their smearing, he walked inside. Right after, the door closed automatically. The warriors were stunned looking at the whole scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are?\" An old man in his sixties looked down at the staff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hi elder, my name is Miles. I got some information useful to you,\" Miles answered calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man nodded his head. Signaling him to go on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Miles revealed the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, the elder was calm. But when he heard the word \"Zack Lockwood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lost his composure. \"How is this possible?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you lying to me?\" The old man asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy pressure broke out from his body and pressed Miles to the ground. Miles, who was unprepared, was caught off guard. He suffered small injuries to the body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder it's true, you can verify with someone else,\" Miles answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment the pressure disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tud~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miles slumped on the ground. His entire back went cold. He regrets it slightly. He knows that high-level people won't believe him. So he decides to wait for the elder to confirm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elder immediately contacted his subordinates to come here. People are investigating Zack Lockwood. If Zack was truly out of the academy, then they got a good opportunity to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows their Giant Tower lost face in student exchange some time ago. So now they have a chance to redeem it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, 6 people entered the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them looked burly. They are practicing Giant Tower's cultivation methods. So their physiques are well developed. Their body strength is similar to a small tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder turned towards his subordinates and asked them to confirm something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that the faces of 6 of them changed. Right after, they began to collect the news from their channels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Tower's informer is studying at the Saw Scaled Viper Academy. But he was a person of an -grade institution. Compared to A Grade Institute's monitoring. The rest of the institute isn't monitored strictly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weakness allowed Giant Tower Academy to make use of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes, one of the subordinates stepped forward and said, \"Elder, the news is true. The informer was not sure about the reason.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He said that on their academy site, Zack Lockwood's name is trending. Some of them saw Zack Lockwood picking up a mission in the morning.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right, he is going on n a mission,\" Elder said in a cold tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he turned toward the person on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your name is Miles, right?\" The elder asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, Miles answered, \"Yes, elder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You did a good job. You will get your promotion soon. Now you can leave,\" The elder said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that Miles hurriedly thanked before leaving the office room. He couldn't wait to get out and enjoy.\u003C\u002Fp>",1561,"2026-06-05T15:56:39.137Z",1,"novelbin.me","65ef622b444f0c4d8bd53238d8092dce5b8c359a8aac9c946d025f9a74a04ae1","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-498","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-496",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
