Elder Thornton, after hearing Mr. Arthur's explanation. "I still underestimated him," he reflected. "Arthur, you did well," he said with a smile. Now that Jensen has returned, everything is not back to normal. He must be going insane as a result of this information.
Even if Zack is injured, outside forces are unlikely to show much malice."
Mr. Arthur gave him a nod. He had the same thought. Too much glitz would cause too many problems.
Then Elder Thornton appears to think for a moment and says, "I also have some gift here, hand it to the little guy." It is extremely beneficial to him."
Mr. Arthur was taken aback by his gesture. Elder Thornton, he assumed, would not be personally involved in student affairs. And what is going on now? He didn't argue with him and decided to go get the treasure and give it to Zack.
They then talked about a few other things before ending their call.
Simultaneously, Mr. Arthur contacted Mr. James and briefed him on the situation. Mr. James then agrees to arrive as soon as possible.
Mr. Arthur collapsed in his seat exhausted after sorting everything out.
...
On the other hand, no one is aware that a dangerous storm is bearing down on Hansen Campus.
After a long wait, Assassin Ed has some free time to continue the mission assigned to him by the masked man.
"He...He...he...he...he... the little vermin is still alive today." So far, he's had a lot of good fortune. "Well, I guess I should kill him as my next target," Assassin Ed muttered as he read through the report on Zack.
The information is a little out of date. Because he has been travelling so far, the current intel is not up to date. But he isn't too concerned with the finer points. He is only concerned with the target's background and strength.
At first, he felt contempt for killing a kid, However, since accepting the entire mission. He made the decision to finish it regardless of personal opinion.
After reviewing the reports on his wristwatch. He leans back slightly as he closes the file. Then he looks at the time with one eye.
"There's still time to get to Red Stone City," he reasoned to himself. Assassin Ed is currently on his way to Red Stone City via train. Based on his departure time, he'll arrive in Red Stone City late at night, probably around midnight.
Then Assassin Ed closed his eyes and waited for the train to arrive at his destination.
...
(Zack's Point of View)
Mr. James arrives at Hansen Campus a few hours later. When he arrived, he made contact with Mr. Arthur. Then they both went to see Zack in the underground clinic room.
Zack, on the other hand, is resting comfortably in his med bed.
I wasn't expecting Luke to be so wealthy. But it's a shame. His storage ring contains no affinity stones. Following the collection of the ring from the Luke Corpse. I'm sorting through the valuables. Seeing as there is a prohibited explosive pill in the storage ring. I couldn't help but feel enraged on the inside.
"This item is prohibited. It is extremely difficult to find a complete pill. "Yet this guy has a couple of prohibited pills in his storage ring," I muttered under my breath. I sat up after straightening my back and pondering.
"There's something fishy going on. He was cruel. Now that he's gone. It's hard to say who supplied him." I said in hushed tones.
I was about to go through other stuff, then I heard footsteps approaching. I gathered my thoughts and placed the Luke's storage ring in my storage ring. With the exception of the explosive pill. I intend to present it to Mr Arthur. He could be on to something.
Just as I was about to make a decision, I heard loud and clear footsteps. The door slid open with a "Creak."
Two individuals entered the room. I twitched when I saw that person. "I thought you were busy, Uncle." I didn't expect you to arrive so soon." With a smile, I said.
True, my uncle James always arrives late at night. Even if he has a few days off. He would rather be outside than at home. But now that he's in front of me. I'm quite surprised. Is it due to Mr. Arthur? I looked at the other person, who was smiling at me.
"I'm already concerned about your safety, you brat." Now, knowing your accomplishments. I'm not sure. "What happens next?" Mr. James stated solemnly.
Hearing that, I'm at a loss for words. What should I do in a life-or-death battle? It's probably because of my opponents that they're starting to notice my strength. There wouldn't have been as much of a scene now if it hadn't been for them.
"Cough" "Cough" Mr. Arthur on the other end, "James, you're worried for nothing." We've come to take care of him. No one will ever harm him. So, don't worry," he assured Mr. James as he patted his shoulder.
When I heard Mr. Arthur, I got black lines on my forehead. My uncle is staring at me as well. How come I don't get it? Mr. Arthur is referring to Elder Jensen and other bounty hunters. While my uncle is discussing assassination attempts on me. At this point, I believe it is best for me to remain silent.
Mr. James then sighed and inquired, "So, does that Kid have any relatives?"
I smiled wryly as I thought about it.
Mr. Arthur, on the other hand, responded, "Luke has suspicious background identity." Then he didn't say anything else. However, Mr. Arthur spotted Zack's expression was concerned, and he inquired, "What happened?" "Have you discovered anything?"
Mr. James looked to Zack for an answer as well.
I didn't say anything, but I took the explosion pill right away.
Seeing that prohibited explosive pill in my palm. Mr. Arthur's face became solemn. As he snatched the explosion pill from Zack's grasp and began to examine it.
"How did you get this illegal explosion pill?" Mr. Arthur inquired quietly.
"What?" Mr. James yelled.
Seeing their reaction, I went over everything in great detail. Only then did both of their expressions soften a little.
"Luke, this kid hides too deep," Mr. Arthur says, furrowing his brow. Even capable of obtaining this prohibited pill" His face had turned sour.
Mr. James reflected and stated, "Luke undoubtedly had some contacts with Rogues." It is against the law to sell in stores or at auction." Then he turns to Zack and says, "It's a good thing you killed him." Otherwise, some hidden danger will exist."
"Do you have any other pills with you?" Mr. Arthur inquired. If you are caught with a prohibited pill in your position. Forget about being a seed candidate; you won't even be admitted to those academies."
My heart skips a beat when I hear that. I assumed it would cost me a fine to pay. If such a situation exists. I immediately handed him the remaining banned pill from the storage ring.
Mr. Arthur said, "Good," after Zack had gave the pill. "Here, Elder Thornton asked me to give you this," Mr. Arthur said, handing Zack a small green case.
"Wow," I muttered subconsciously. The green case was then placed in my storage ring.
Mr. James, on the other hand, was taken aback. Then he has some reservations in his heart. He didn't want to bring it up with Zack.
Earlier, on the way, he had gathered information about Luke. Luke is an Apprentice at the Peak Trainee Level. It's an incredible task to kill him without injuring their hand. He believes Zack recently broke through. But he didn't feel like asking Zack right now. As a result, he decided to ask him later.
Zack, on the other hand, because of the pendant he wears around his neck. It automatically hides Zack's realm. Except for a few strong elite, no one can see past his current level. Even Elder Thornton finds it difficult to probe.
I'm not sure what's inside the green case. Anyway, if it comes from Elder Thornton, it must be good. Then I remembered something and, with a mischievous smile, inquired, "Mr. Arthur, "Where is my healing pill for this duel?"
"What a jerk!" Mr. Arthur was disheartened. A healing pill does not come cheap. He has to give him because he made a deal with him.
Then he gave Zack one of the healing pills.
Mr. James, on the other hand, smiled and asked, "So, how long do you have to stay here?" It is preferable to leave this location in three days. We can make some headlines so that no one else suspects anything."
Mr. Arthur sighed, "It's too early to say anything; we'll make a decision in two days." Let's wait and see how people react."
Mr. James had no choice but to nod. He can only decide to inform Zack's teacher.
We talked about a few other things, and I asked my uncle to tell Granny not to worry. Mr. Arthur and my uncle then exited the building.
When they left, the clinic room door automatically closed. I then placed the green case from my storage ring in my palm. I opened the case to look at it.. "Ssshh," I exclaimed as I read the description.
