Ancient Tears BloodLine - Chapter 1078

Chapter 1078: Central Fort City Chapter 1078: Central Fort City From MC’s Perspective: One hour later, The aircraft had crossed many cities after leaving Star University.

It’s now heading towards the next city.

I was seated by the window.

Looking at the passing air cars outside, I turned towards James and asked, “James, how long will it take to reach the bandit city?” “Lord, it will take half an hour,” James replied.

“30 minutes, that’s good,” I thought to myself.

I wanted to settle down before starting the mission.

The bandit eradication mission is not an easy task, according to James and the information I had collected so far.

There are many illegal activities happening in that city.

It’s impossible to dismantle the whole network overnight.

First, I have to find their hideout.

The destruction of the hideout will be the main evidence for completing my mission.

After gaining clarity in my thoughts, I closed my eyes.

…

Thunderflame Faction: “Who dares to do this?” Austin shouted loudly.

His thunderous voice echoed across the Thunderflame Faction Territory.

The Golden Lightning Palace members and the other palace members were petrified.

They knew the reason behind such a scream.

In the past few hours, news about Zack Lockwood had been broadcasted as breaking news on several channels.

Someone had falsified the truth and spread rumors.

Now Zack Lockwood had a target on his back.

Most understood that someone was using a knife to target Zack Lockwood.

Everyone’s suspicion fell on none other than the Dark Variant Faction.

It’s their sacred fruit to begin with.

Now such rumors are spreading.

If it’s their doing, then it shows the cruelty and cunningness of the Dark Variant Faction.

The palace members all felt a chill run down their spines.

Swoosh!

Main Elder Ann appeared above the Golden Lightning Palace.

Shortly afterwards, Main Elder Leola and Cathy appeared as well.

The scream had even alarmed the miscellaneous elders.

But before they could inquire about the situation, Main Elder Austin appeared above the Golden Lightning Palace.

He looked at the main elders before flying towards the meeting hall.

The other Main Elders followed him from behind.

Warriors became restless witnessing this.They knew something major was about to happen.

Meeting Hall: Main Elder Austin and the others arrived and immediately took their seats.

“Who could be this cruel?” Ann said in a cold tone.

Undoubtedly, everyone had heard the breaking news, which was causing a commotion right across Star University and Star City.

“The timing is bad.

That kid is out on a mission.

The breaking news came right after that,” Leola said gravely.

“I think it’s the work of the Dark Variant Faction,” Cathy said with anger.

“How could they be so generous as to give away the sacred fruit?” “It must be their conspiracy behind it,” she added.

“You are right, Elder Cathy.

I think it’s the work of Old Man Vince.

It’s impossible for him to have a change of heart and let Zack Lockwood grow peacefully.” “He must have been threatened by the kid.

It’s a good chance for him to strike,” Austin said coldly.

“Don’t forget that the kid has the Red Mark Warrior ring.

It can protect him,” Leola said solemnly.

“I don’t think any major figures would take action.

Otherwise, Dean Jerome wouldn’t let them live.

But I’m sure warriors under Black Mark Warriors would go after my disciple,” Austin said.

“But that kid has consumed the sacred fruit.

There is no point in troubling him,” Cathy argued.

“I think someone wants to get rid of my disciple.

They can’t attack Zack Lockwood inside the university.

But there are chances they will hire killers,” Main Elder Ann said this time.

Swoosh!

Faction Leader Clifford appeared in the room and sat in the main seat.

“Faction Leader,” everyone stood up to greet him.

Once the greetings were done, Old Man Clifford looked at everyone before saying, “I think that bet of sacred fruit comes with a cost.” “Now, I understand who was behind the scheme.

I knew it was impossible for him to give away the sacred fruit for free,” Clifford said with dissatisfaction.

Upon hearing that, the main elders understood whom he was speaking about.

The person was none other than the Dark Variant Faction Leader, Vince.

“But don’t worry, no Black Mark Warrior or above will go after that kid.

If it happens, they would receive a thunderous response from Star University,” Old Man Clifford said in a serious tone.

Upon hearing this, everyone relaxed.

At least there was a chance for that kid to survive.

Austin still had lingering doubts.

Last time, Zack Lockwood was attacked by a Gold Mark Warrior’s coercion.

He hoped nothing bad would happen this time.

“Austin, what’s bothering you?” Clifford asked.

Hearing that, Austin told him about the last incident faced by Zack Lockwood.

“Gold Mark Warrior, harumph,” Clifford said with a snort.

“Didn’t I tell you earlier?

No Black Mark Warrior or above will go after that kid.

It’s not my words but Dean Jerome’s.” “I wouldn’t be surprised if he sent out powerful warriors to protect Zack Lockwood,” Clifford added.

Austin sighed inwardly.

Then he thought of something important before asking, “Can I go to the bandit city?” “No!” “No one should interfere in Zack Lockwood’s first outside mission.” This time, a new voice sounded in the room.

The voice was none other than the Dean of Star University.

Everyone waited for him to appear, but he didn’t show up.

The voice disappeared as well.

They understood that the Dean had heard their conversation.

Old Man Clifford let out a bitter smile before saying, “Now you believe it?” “Yes,” Austin replied.

But deep in his heart, he had made up his mind to rescue Zack Lockwood no matter what.

…

30 minutes later, The aircraft reached the outskirts of the bandit city.

The official name of the city was Central Fort City.

Once upon a time, the place used to be a fort for the prince.

Now it has been reduced to a safe haven for those engaging in illegal activities.

When the aircraft touched the ground, Creak!

The cabin opened.

I stepped outside and breathed in the fresh air of the wilderness.

I felt free here.

Then I turned towards James and said, “James, I’m going to stay here for some time.

Find a place to hide this thing.

After completing the mission, I’ll call you back.” Hearing that, James agreed.

I then exchanged contact numbers with him before leaving.

I took the mask from the storage ring and put it on my face.

This city is known for illegal activities.

I doubt they would dare to stop me.

So when I reached the huge gate, which is the entrance to Central Fort City, Several figures appeared in front of me.

My pupils shrink.

All of them were City Guards.

“Who are you?” “What do you want?” one of the City Guards asked.

Hearing that, I calmed my heart before answering, “I came here to have fun.” This was the logical answer I could come up with.

The City Guards looked at each other before allowing me to enter.

For a second, I thought they would ask for ID.

But nothing like that happened.

Since it’s a bandit city, they are not checking IDs to attract more customers.

My mission was to erase the banditry.

But here the City Guards knew about it as well.

So everything was happening under their control.

My eyes flashed with cold determination.

After entering, I quickly found an inn to settle down.

“Things are tougher than I thought,” I said to myself.

I had planned to show my mission to the City Administration.

Since they are involved, isn’t it foolish to expose myself?

Lying in bed, I fell into deep thought.

Buzz!

The next second, I saw Master Austin was calling me.

I answered the call.

“Zack, where are you?” Austin asked from the other end.

“Master, I have come to Central Fort City.

Now I’m staying in a small inn,” I replied.

“Good, Zack, listen carefully.

Someone has spread rumors about you,” Austin said, beginning to explain.

About 10 minutes later, My eyes flashed with murderous intent.

I had consumed both the sacred fruits.

Yet someone spread fake news to target me.

Who could it be?

“Master, do you know the culprit?” I asked.

“Dark Variant Faction.

We think it’s the work of Old Vince.

He is the Faction Leader of the Dark Variant Faction.” “Didn’t I tell you before that nothing comes for free?

He has certainly used the chance to get you killed.

But don’t worry, Black Mark Warriors and above won’t target you.” “That’s the word from Dean Jerome.

You can relax and focus on the mission,” Austin said from the other end.

Hearing that, I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.

If the Black Mark Warriors and above won’t target me, then I don’t have any rivals.

“Don’t worry, master.

I’ll handle it,” I assured him on the call.

Then only I could hear his relaxed tone.
