Ancient Tears BloodLine - Chapter 1062

Chapter 1062: Part 1: Rupert’s dead end Chapter 1062: Part 1: Rupert’s dead end Meeting Hall: “So, what do you guys think?” “I suppose this guy has already left Star City.

He must be looking to leave our territory,” Old Man Clifford said.

“I have ordered people at the border to screen every Gold Mark Warrior strictly.

Unless the Gold Mark Warriors provide concrete proof, it’s impossible to leave our territory,” Main Elder Leola said.

“I have contacted some of my friends as well.

They are going to tighten the border on their side.

The only problem is our border with the Dark Shadow University,” Main Elder Cathy added this time.

Hearing that, no one was surprised.

The Main Elders are all Purple Mark Warriors.

They have their own connections and resources.

“What if this guy escapes back to the Inner Post Region?” “I hope he won’t target Zack Lockwood’s people,” Main Elder voiced her concern.

“Don’t worry about this matter.

Dena Jerome has spoken.

That person can’t slip away from us,” Old Man Clifford reassured.

“When it comes to the Dark Shadow University border, they are going to pay a price for it.

They let such a criminal reach our territory to take action,” Old Man Clifford said in an icy tone.

Then his gaze fell on Austin, who was silent.

“Austin, what are you thinking?” he asked.

Hearing that, others looked at Austin as well.

“Leader, I’m going outside to take his head personally.

Otherwise, my heart won’t rest.” “More importantly, I don’t want others to fish in muddy waters.

If we delay further, more unwanted things might happen,” Austin said.

“You are correct.

You can go and leave the mission matter to us,” Old Man Clifford replied.

“When will the kid be discharged?” he asked again.

“I have told him to rest for a few days,” Ann said.

“Good.

The infirmary is the safest place for him right now.

Already, people are curious about that kid’s reason for surviving.” “If he comes right now, people will try everything to find out the truth,” Old Man Clifford said.

Austin said, “Leader, what if we find resources that can help him reach the Black Mark Warrior rank quickly?” “If he reaches the Black Mark Warrior rank, he can protect himself with Artifacts.

He can’t use powerful Artifacts in his current stage,” he added.

His words immediately made others ponder.

Zack Lockwood is the personal disciple of Main Elders Austin and Ann.

Elders Leola and Cathy had no reason to help, yet they were concerned as well.

Old Man Clifford nodded his head and said, “I think it’s our only option.

The Dark Variant Faction has yet to take any action.

They are bidding for the right time.” “My disciples are yet to come.

Some of your disciples are outside as well.

They can protect themselves.” “But if the same thing happens again, that kid won’t survive.

So I will ask Dean Jerome.

He will definitely help,” Old Man Clifford added.

Then the meeting came to an end.

Everyone left the meeting hall.

Austin didn’t waste any time before leaving Star University.

He was going to search for the attacker at the border.

…

From MC’s Perspective: A few days later, In the infirmary, I was standing on my feet and walking back and forth to feel the movement.

My body had returned to normal.

The bones, muscles, skin, and veins had recovered.

It’s like I had been reborn.

But I knew it was the work of an expensive pill or potion.

More importantly, I looked at my palm.

There was a white pearl.

According to Master Ann, it was given by Elder Leola.

It’s a rare treasure.

Even a Purple Mark Warrior would fight for it.

I sighed.

To think the other Main Elders had used their treasures to help me.

I didn’t know what to say, but I would remember their help.

Then I noticed that my essence strength had increased again.

But I knew it was not a breakthrough.

I was close to touching the next barrier.

Not only that, my red bones were different than before.

Though I didn’t feel any increase in strength, I noticed the change in runes.

Compared to before, there were more runes on my bones.

It had spread all over the skeleton.

I didn’t know what the function of the runes was.

But I thought it had something to do with strength as well.

It was a blessing in disguise.

I was so close to death, but I had survived and achieved benefits as well.

Then I sat on the bed and accessed online articles.

A quick gleam flashed in my eyes.

The news about me was a hot topic for two days.

Everyone was surprised by my survival.

So much so that people started focusing on me more than the attacker.

Fortunately, the topics had come to an end the next day.

Then the regular news began to occupy the space.

When it came to the killer, I knew the identity as well.

Master Ann showed me the intel report, and my guess was correct.

It was an old account I hadn’t closed.

But now I thought that Rupert wouldn’t have many days to live.

Master Austin had personally gone to hunt him.

I doubted he would return without killing him.

It felt good to have such a backer.

When was the last time I had felt such backing?

It was during my stay with Master Lowell.

He had protected me in the Inner Post Region.

He had even raised his hand a couple of times to save me in the Outer Post Region.

Speaking about life and death, you can only think of old memories during life-or-death moments.

I wondered what my old friends were doing.

Thinking about it, I let out a sigh.

Creak!

The door opened.

Lola Garvin and Leah Downing entered the room.

“Junior brother, how are you doing?” Lola asked.

“Senior sisters, you both are here,” I greeted them.

“You look fine.

But you have to spend one more night before returning to the faction,” Leah said.

“Sister Leah, what do you mean?” I asked.

“It’s not me.

It was told by the Master.

He has found the attacker.

He is going to take action tonight,” Leah said with a smile.

Gasp!

“So soon,” I sucked in a cold breath of air.

“Our Tier-4 Region is vast land.

Each force occupies a vast piece of land.

It’s difficult to find someone if they escape to the border.” “But Master Austin is different.

He is a Purple Mark Warrior.

There are warriors who worked hard to collect intel.” “Otherwise, it would have been difficult to find the Gold Mark Warrior this soon,” Leah said.

“I’m grateful to the Master,” I replied with a smile.

“Okay, we are going back.

If you need something, you can contact us.” After saying that, they left.

I looked at them before going back to rest.

I had never had such a peaceful time before.

Apart from Master and my sisters, no one came to bother me.

On the other hand, when the two sisters left the infirmary, they were seen by spies from other factions.

Not only the top 10 factions, but the other medium and small-sized factions had been waiting patiently for Zack Lockwood these days.

They had only one reason for that.

They didn’t want to anger Dean Jerome.

These factions’ leaders and main elders knew the whole Star University network was working hard to find the attacker.

They had never seen such a mobilization before, which made them even more scared to act.

The Dark Variant Faction, in particular, was quiet.

They were watching every movement of the Thunderflame Faction, especially observing the activities of the disciples of the Main Elders.

They had only seen two of them going to the infirmary.

Others were outside on a mission.

None of the factions had even sent elders to visit Zack Lockwood.

By doing so, it would raise questions.

People would immediately point at the Dark Variant Faction.

The Dark Variant Faction was already perplexed by the situation.

They didn’t know how Zack Lockwood was attacked.

When they had tried to access the intel, their access was restricted.

Not only them; it was the same for other top 10 factions as well.

Dean Jerome never wanted them to relax.

He had used this opportunity to put them on edge.

These are some rare days where killings of warriors were not reported.

Otherwise, there would be daily reports.

One faction targeting others.

If not for the Star University rules that competition was allowed, Dean Jerome would have punished them already.

Now the situation will come to an end tonight.

Austin had spotted Rupert hiding in the border town.

The border town of any territory was the least suspected place because there was no transportation.

The world energy was low compared to other places.

No one wanted to stay here for a longer time.

Yet Rupert was here.

It’s because he had experience before.

He had once escaped from the eyes of Dark Shadow University Warriors.

He wanted to do it again.
