He knew the mood of this middle man. If he offends him, then there will be no place to hide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was playing the role of a pawn. Which can be removed any time. So he is hoping that Carlos will attend his call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the connection was established.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that a hint of relief flashes in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked,\"Carlos, are you there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the other end of the call, an impatient voice sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Headmaster, I have told you before that kid was poisoned. Now everyone is staring at his dorm room.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not the best time to confirm his death. Instead it will only raise suspicion, if I go there,\" Carlos said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the eyes of a person in disguise flickered. He came here to confirm the death of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it looks Like it's not gonna happen at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Tower Headmaster frowned. From the side eyes, he is observing the expression of a man in disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he failed to spot anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the person in disguise signaled him to end the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Tower Headmaster nodded his head before saying,\"Carlos, call me soon. When you confirm that kid's death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that he ended the call. Then he turned toward the person in disguise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, what should I do now?\" He asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is the character of this person?\" The person in disguise asked. At this moment, he is thinking of using the person named Carlos Kent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Tower Headmaster was stunned. Then he replied,\"Sir, this person is extremely greedy. I exhausted nearly half of the treasure vault for his breakthrough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person in disguise remained silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try to lure him to our side,\" The person in disguise said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that the Giant Tower Headmaster hesitated. It's not that he doesn't want to offend him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to lure, it's inevitable to share some of the secrets. Otherwise, why would another person join him? When it comes to Carlos Kent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That person was extremely cautious. It won't be easy to lure him without offering anything in return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person in disguise saw through his struggle and asked,\"What's bothering you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Tower Headmaster nodded his head before starting speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can tell him a few things indirectly,\" The person in disguise said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then they spoke a few minutes before leaving the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From MC's perspective:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting ready, I left the room. When I stepped out of the dorm building. I saw a group of warriors waiting for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This?\" I stopped my footsteps for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like the effect of yesterday's duel is still working. This is going to trouble me for a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The duel win has gathered good popularity. Now there are people gathered from different factions who simply want to get to know Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ignoring their gazes, I started walking to the dining hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, I reached the place. As usual two people are waiting for me. They are none other than Ernest and Laverne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Zack's good complexion. Both sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest and Laverne quickly came forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack, you look better now,\" Laverne commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go inside, we have something to tell you,\" Ernest said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. Both of them looked at each other before turning toward me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright,\" I agreed, then we walked inside the dining hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know what they are going to say? But their faces looked solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon we received our food plate from the counter and found a gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it's late to have breakfast at this time. But people are good place to sit down. At the same time, a crowd is slowly gathering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it's late to have breakfast at this time. But people are simply entering the dining hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your fame has simply risen to a new level.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are here for you,\" Laverne said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shook my head in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I started to cut the monster meat into pieces and took a bite. I almost forgot about their earlier words and started to enjoy the food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I realized the faces of Ernest and Laverne are extremely grave. I placed the forks on the plate and asked,\"What happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you are worrying about Carlos Kent, don't worry he won't be bothering us anymore,\" I added further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from this, I couldn't think of anything else troubling them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ernest and Laverne's expressions remained with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest sighed before saying,\"Michael is going to end his retreat. He texted me last night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Michael?\" I uttered in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I remember he was the group leader of these two. It's that after his retreat these guys began to team up with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what's with him? As far as I know, that person was not troublesome. Is there anything else? I don't know about him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I squinted my eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You guys can tell me anything. I'll try my best to help you guys out,\" I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I uttered those words. Laverne's eyes become misty. She is on the verge of breaking down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\" I asked. I never saw her shedding tears before. Even during a fight against a group of rogue warriors. She fought bravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So what happened now? I couldn't understand what is happening right now? I turned towards Ernest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I asked,\"Ernest, tell me. What is going on?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laverne controlled her emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest shook his head before asking,\"What do you think of Michael?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't tell me. He is another arrogant b@stard,\" I replied in a calm tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing Ernest nodding his head. My eyes widened in disbelief..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Michael was not an innocent person as you think. Both Michael's family and Laverne's family are living in the same city.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Michael's father wants to suppress Laverne's family. If Michael breakthroughs then their power will be increased,\" Ernest said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I somewhat understand their situation. It's normal to have competition between these families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was not that life threatening matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest saw the doubts of Zack. So he explained again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Michael's father has some connections with other academies. If their family power increases again, then the Laverne family would suffer heavy loss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Laverne fears that her father's life would be in danger,\" Ernest added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that a look of understanding dawned on me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about Michael?\" I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ernest didn't hide it anymore and said,\"He will definitely pressure Laverne to surrender her. In this way, their family can get more resources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the end it's all about resources,\" I muttered. Carlos Kent has changed sides because he lacked resources in the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean wants me to participate in the year end conference. So that the academy can gain more quota for resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And here, Michael's family is eyeing Laverne's family for resources. Is there any place where warriors can cultivate with peace of mind?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I shook my head and asked,\"So what should I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Laverne opened her mouth to speak. \"I want you to request the dean for help. If she moves her hand, it will be easily resolved,\" Laverne said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After spending time with me, these two are aware that I have a connection with the dean. But it's lending a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I nodded my head and said,\"Don't worry, I'll ask her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after, I see their expressions become better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After having breakfast, I separated from them. Before leaving I once again promised them. Shaking my head, I started heading toward the dean's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, I couldn't help but think of Michael. I thought he was a nice senior. But their family got wolf ambition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They really want to swallow Laverne's family. But if her information is true then, then the Michael family is not simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had connections with other academies, then they wouldn't be stopped by my threats or other genius warriors studying in the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the dean's words can deter them. After pushing down these thoughts, I increased my pace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I arrived before her cabin. Before I could also ask for permission. The door opened automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that I walked inside the room. Dean Rebecca is working behind the desk as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was disappointed with her actions earlier. But now Carlos Kent has changed sides. So earlier anger disappeared from my heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, I recalled Jonathan's words. The supreme elder is a troublesome person. I still have to up my guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rebecca noticed Zack then she asked him to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After stopped doing her work, she turned toward Zack. Her eyes observed Zack's body. \"True,\"She found the purple essence. And Zack's complexion seems a lot better as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zack?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you tell me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did you find the purple essence?\"She asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that I sighed inwardly. But I didn't show any emotions on my face. I knew she would ask me this question. But I remembered Jonathan's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I used the emergency resources,\" I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emergency resources?\" Rebecca frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I started to tell a plain lie. After a few minutes, Rebecca relaxed her eyebrows. She didn't expect the person behind Zack would help him in this way.\u003C\u002Fp>",1570,"2026-06-05T15:56:53.483Z",1,"novelbin.me","6c478ef093145e2dd9315a72709c6b54731cc15400c69005b9dd5abd15b2431a","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-555","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-553",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
