Ancient Tears BloodLine - Chapter 1031

Chapter 1031: Returned Silently Chapter 1031: Returned Silently From MC’s Perspective: On the way, I unexpectedly came across a few monsters, which helped me complete the mission.

Then I returned to the stronghold.

But it was more crowded than before.

I started walking through the crowd towards the Teleportation Platform.

“Hey, it’s him!” “Zack Lockwood!” “He is among us.” “He is going back.” A few people in the crowd shouted.

The next second, I felt many piercing gazes on me, as if everyone was waiting for me.

For a second, I was confused.

I didn’t know what was going on.

“Zack Lockwood, stay there!” “I want to challenge you!” “No, let me challenge him first.” “We are faction warriors; others step aside.” The warriors started to yell.

They didn’t want to let Zack Lockwood go back to the university.

On the other hand, I understood completely.

Somehow, my whereabouts had leaked, and people started coming after me.

I think that the Iron Brothers and Blazing Fire Faction Warriors came after hearing the news.

My eyes flashed coldly.

I was already in a bad mood because of the Outer Hall Forest Area.

Now, these guys were pissing me off.

Thunder!

I channeled purple lightning into my palms.

Seeing that, everyone around me stepped away, allowing me to walk forward.

The warriors felt danger upon seeing the purple lightning.

Everyone’s expression was solemn.

Those who were not part of factions were even more scared.

Most of them came out of enthusiasm, but few of them had the skill to fight against Zack Lockwood.

Those who came with such intentions had already entered the forest.

On the other hand, I saw none of them causing any trouble, so I started walking towards the Teleportation Platform.

On the way, I noticed the shocked and surprised expressions of the warriors.

When I left the place, the commotion occurred again.

“He is gone!” “Damn, what was that purple lightning?” “It scared the sh!t out of me.” “I was standing close; I felt my body hair burning.” “It’s good that we didn’t anger him.” The warriors who were close started to discuss.

Many of them came to see Zack Lockwood and began posting pictures online.

Warriors had come here to challenge and defeat Zack Lockwood, yet nothing like that had happened, so they were disappointed.

They could only vent their frustration online right now.

On the other hand, I arrived at the Teleportation Platform and asked the guard to send me back.

After stepping inside the platform, they activated it.

Swoosh!

The next second, I vanished from the spot and appeared back at the University.

The place was lively as usual when I stepped out of the platform.

I saw the guard’s expression filled with disbelief, as if he were surprised to see me in one piece.

“What?” I asked.

“There are many warriors who entered the place to find you,” the guard said.

“They will be disappointed,” I uttered before leaving.

The guard still couldn’t believe it.

He knew that not only Small and Is Sized Faction Warriors went looking for Zack Lockwood; there were also some teams from the top 10 factions who had entered.

A few minutes later, I walked into the mission building to submit the mission.

Gasp!

As usual, the reaction was the same here.

Some female warriors gasped in surprise.

Even the staff working behind the desk couldn’t hide his shock.

“I have completed the mission.” After saying that, I handed over the monster core.

The staff quietly counted the monster cores before saying, “You will get your rewards at your residence shortly.” Hearing that, I nodded before leaving.

My back was prickling like needles.

These people were giving me a headache.

After returning to the residence, I should check the online news.

The people inside the mission building started sharing the news already.

Zack Lockwood was back, but people were wasting time in the outer hall area.

So their faction members were urging them to come back.

Some of their teams were already searching inside the forest.

About 10 minutes later, I returned to the residence.

After entering the room, I went to take a bath.

The bath lasted for 15 minutes.

After coming out of the bath, I put on comfortable clothes.

Then I went to the sofa to sit.

There was commotion happening because of me, and I wanted to know why.

Sitting leisurely, I activated the digital device.

A virtual screen appeared before me, showing the social media site.

I clicked on the trending topics.

When the page appeared, my eyes widened in surprise.

The topics were all about me.

“What the f@ck?” I uttered.

I clicked one of the posts to read.

It said I had entered the outer hall area forest to plunder the resources of others.

My eyes flashed with seriousness.

Then I selected another post to read.

After reading it, my expression worsened.

I decided to read a couple of articles to understand what was really going on.

About one hour later, I touched my forehead in frustration.

I had gone there to complete the mission, not to plunder anything.

Especially since that forest didn’t have anything to plunder to begin with.

I didn’t know who started this malicious rumor.

More than rumors, it appeared to be a targeted campaign.

Some people didn’t like me using the facilities of the Outer Hall.

I had seen it before when I used their training facilities.

Now the mission activity must have pissed them off.

A wry smile appeared on my face.

I wanted to stay low-key, but some others were working hard to keep me in the limelight.

I didn’t know what to say to them.

I calmed my restless heart.

I decided to take a rest to cool off my head.

I started sleeping on the sofa itself.

Meanwhile, Inside the Golden Lightning Palace, Austin received the news.

“That kid is back,” he uttered.

“He has caused quite a stir in the Outer Hall.

Everyone is looking for him while he has returned silently,” he added.

Austin was not stupid.

He could see that his disciple was being targeted.

It was just an Outer Hall Mission.

What was there to plunder?

He decided to dig up the person behind these rumors.
