Seeing the beautiful city surrounded by the mountains on four sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes lit up with surprise. Unlike other cities, this city is situated in the middle of a natural spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, the city looks beautiful,\" Laverne said all of a sudden. Her beautiful big eyes gleamed with a twinkle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder, the city developed so quickly,\" Ernest said beside me. Even he didn't expect such a scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a reason why so many rogue warriors choose to come here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three of us looked at the city through the aircraft window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aircraft entered the academy space and it started to descend on the landing platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the aircraft touches the ground. We started to walk out. Then the aircraft takes off after leaving us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, where do we start,\" I said to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest and Laverne looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We should find it first. After settling down, we will start the investigation,\" Ernest replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I nodded my head. Since there is no time limit for the mission. We can do it with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then three of us went looking for the inn. The City is bustling. There are people everywhere. Looking at their costumes you can easily guess their identity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon we found an inn. When we entered inside. I found a different atmosphere altogether. The place appeared to be crowded with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know whether all of them are customers or came for a drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest walked to the registration desk. After booking, we decided to log in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let's gather around lunchtime,\" Laverne said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To that both agreed. It won't take much time to settle down. And three of our rooms are adjacent to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then we entered our room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A different situation is happening down below. The rogue warriors who were occupying the seats started to leave one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No need to doubt the different rogue teams immediately recognized Zack Lockwood and his team members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now they are aware they are going to stay here. Next, they have to plan without alerting the seat of elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But little did they know the elders were already aware of something wrong. The eyeliners around the city are passing the information back to their force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the seat of elders knew the rogue warriors were up to something this time. But they don't know what exactly it is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they know a murder is going to happen in the city. The seat of elders won't hesitate to drive all rogue warriors out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the seat of elders wrongly speculates that it's a conflict between different rogue groups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why they didn't intend to show themselves. As long as there are authorities on the ground they can handle something wrong. They don't have to investigate themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Tower Academy:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the meeting hall, the Giant Tower Headmaster is sitting in the main seat. Along with him, the intelligence department elder is seated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the last time, the Giant Tower Headmaster doesn't want anyone to know about this operation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because apart from mocking none of the elders showed any proper solution. So he doesn't want them to know about the time being.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Zack Lockwood is killed. He will reveal to them with greater fanfare. He still remembered the mocking gazes of elders in the last meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that incident, he knows that there are people in the Giant Tower who can't wait for him to take the wrong step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After eliminating the lightning brat, I will then weed out these snakes inside,\" He said in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the elder seared beside him heart it, he would have been scared sh!t. Like other academics, there are factions here too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, what's the status now?\" He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder nodded his head before calling someone on the ground. They had spies in Viper City. So it's normal for them to have spies here too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the information from the spy, the elder turned to face the headmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many rogue warriors are appearing in the city. Such an inflow attracted a lot of eyebrows,\" the elder said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Harumph,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's just an independent city. Even if they know they don't care to make any fuss,\" The headmaster answered without blinking his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows that the rogue warriors are desperate for resources. Unless warriors are attached to an academy or force, it's difficult to collect resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for the Parazam Hunter League, where you can earn resources by completing their jobs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder receiver receives another message from the spy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading it, he said to the headmaster, \"Headmaster, the target has arrived.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that the Giant Tower Headmaster straightened his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now the show begins,\" He said to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his eyes flickered with killing intent. The elder beside him turned pale with fright. Noticing it, he returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Order the spies to monitor the target. Also, send the message to the rogue warriors to act as soon as possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't want any failure to happen this time,\" He instructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder gulped his saliva in fear before sending a message to the rogue warriors and spies on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of their spies arrived before the inn. Instead of entering inside, he seems to record.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A holographic projection appeared streaming the video of the inn where Zack is staying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick glint flashes in the Giant Tower Headmaster's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So this is where he is staying?\" He muttered to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he was present there, he would have blown their places to pieces. The Giant Tower Headmaster's heart is boiling in anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the live video, he also noticed the presence of many rogue warriors walking by. They seem to target the inn as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that his mouth curved into an arc. The elder beside him breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't handle the mood swings of the Giant Tower Headmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the room,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I started to read the mission description. They have to apprehend the criminal named Paul. The name seemed to be a pseudonym as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I began to read further. The rogue criminal is involved in a lot of heinous crimes. But I couldn't help but think of Carlos Kent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If my feeling is right, then there is something wrong with the criminal. He might be stronger than us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed in a blink of an eye,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half an hour, I felt thirsty. So I decided to grab some drinks. When I opened the door to walk downstairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I suddenly felt a cold shiver go down my spine. I stopped my movement for a moment before walking down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't want to spread my perception around. Otherwise, it would be noticed by others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I walked to the counter to buy some drinks. I felt a lot of piercing gazes on me. I immediately knew I'm being targeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it Paul or his henchmen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are there so many malicious gazes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My heart filled with a lot of doubts. After grabbing the drink, I walked back to my room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until I left their sight. The piercing gaze didn't leave me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right after, walking back to my room. I contacted two other people who came here as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard a knock on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest and Laverne entered the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing my troubled face, they immediately asked, \"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sit down first,\" I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laverne sat down on the bed. Ernest sat on the chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at them, I started explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest's reaction was calm at first. But when he heard the rogue warriors were targeting Zack. His expression darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laverne's expression became serious as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did they know?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did our mission leak out?\" She asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I shook my head. This doesn't seem to be simple. Because there is not one warrior down there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many warriors are looking at me with malicious gazes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack, what's wrong?\" Ernest asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't feel right\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We just arrived an hour ago. But they seem to be waiting for us,\" I answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way,\" Laverne uttered in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest stood up and said, \"I'll go outside and take a walk around. We can't simply speculate here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, I'll come as well,\" Laverne said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I decided to accompany them as well. But Ernest stopped me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack, you just wait for us here. Your strength is at the Elite stage and you can't fight using the lightning element. So you should stay here,\" Ernest said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mouth twitched. But I wasn't offended by his words. I simply nodded my head in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when they disappeared from my sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A thought arose in my heart. \"Could these rogue warriors come for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why do I feel this is quite possible? If it was mission related then it's fine but if it was later then it's going to be trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I inform the dean about this? Then I decided to wait for them to come back. After hearing their words, I will make the decision.\u003C\u002Fp>",1544,"2026-06-05T15:56:52.844Z",1,"novelbin.me","5000310da0f4c1f54c27ed9f1c1d23ae4b3c801cf3086bcf714257f8717c1a06","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-530","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-528",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
