At the City Lord's building,
When City Lord Garry connected the call with Star Tower Management, the rest of the people here thought, including Elder Thornton, that it must be someone powerful from Star Tower.
But they have no idea that the Hall Master himself is going to attend the meeting.
As the call connected, the holographic face of the Hall Master appears. City Lord's expression turned serious for a moment. Which is noticed by everyone; they too nervously watched the holographic image.
From the other side of the call, the Hall Master already receives details about those Elite Warriors seated in the meeting hall over there. He is quite satisfied with the Peak Elite Level Warriors numbers.
Seeing as everyone was waiting for his words, the Hall Master commented, "Ahem, Hello everyone, I'm the Hall Master of the Star Tower. I thank everyone for gathering here on quick notice."
When the Hall Master revealed his identity, at the same time the 10 Elite level Power houses stood up from their seat in respect.
At this moment, they were stunned and quite speechless. "It's actually the Hall Master of the Star Tower. The Top Existence of the Star Tower. They say his strength is unfathomable. No one is quite sure of his current level. Some say he is at Peak Elite level like them and some argue that he already broke through to reach the next level." Elder Thornton said to himself.
The rest of the Elite level power house had the same thoughts running through their mind.
"We greet the Star Tower's Hall Master." Ten Elite Warriors greeted with respect.
The other hand, the Hall Master smiled and gestured for them to sit.
While City Lord Garry inside his heart is hoping for a better outcome from this meeting.
After everyone seated, the Hall Master said, "I'm going to be direct as to why we called you here. It's because we need your assistance at this moment."
Hearing that a few Elite level Power houses looked at each other's face, while others still want to listen more on this matter.
The Hall Master Continued to say, "At this moment, the borders of Westword city are under the attack of hostile forces. So far we managed to hold on and successfully eliminated them. But, We suspect that this time the number of attacks is going to increase as the time goes by."
When he finished saying his words, he looked at everyone's reaction. Especially at Peak Elite level Power houses, what he needed at this moment was assistance from Peak Elite Powerhouse. He didn't even take a look at the rest of the Warriors.
For a moment, the atmosphere turned solemn. The City Lord Garry is looking forward to their answer. Lots of pressure can be handled with their timely assistance. He knew the Hall Master was careful with his words, he didn't explicitly say we are under the attack of many Peak Elite level Warriors.
Seeing these people hesitating to participate, he knew if they came to know about Peak Elite enemies. It's hard to guess whether they are ready to put their life on the line or not for some other organizations.
At this moment, the two male warriors, Peak Elite Level Power houses made their decision. The First one stood up from his seat and commented, "Forgive me, Hall Master. Including me, our organization only has four Peak Elite level Warriors. I came here as a guardian for our organization's seed. I can't put my life and especially his life at great risk unnecessarily."
Seeing his strong refusal, the other Peak Elite level Power house also declined the request. Leaving behind only Elder Thornton and other female Powerhouses from their side.
The Hall Master frowns a little from the other end of the Call. But he didn't force them on this issue in the end. There is a great probability of losing their life here. He can see why they are hesitant.
He let out a deep sigh, "Okay, Those who are not ready to participate can leave the hall immediately. And most importantly the meeting happening here is highly confidential. I don't even want your organization to know about it. If we come to know about such things later, you and your organization can say goodbye to this world." He said with a smiling face.
Seeing that, the rest of the warriors shuddered. Even the City Lord Garry felt, no one can threaten like the Hall Master by having a smile on their face.
Before going out, they gave their word to keep this matter buried in their heart forever. Not only two Peak Elite level Warriors left. Along with them other three Mid level and the three Elite level Powerhouses left with them hurriedly.
They were quite scared for their life, on top of it they don't want their organization to be involved in such trouble. The City Lord's face twists seeing these cowardly people.
Right now, apart from the City Lord. Only two people still remain in their seats. Elder Thornton and other Female, Peak Elite Power house.
Seeing the decision of two of them, the Hall Master nodded and slightly glanced at their information on his table. Suddenly, He let out a small laugh in happiness after reading the information.
Hearing his laughter, three of them looked at the Hall Master in surprise. Especially, the City Lord thought, the Hall Master mood is not okay after those rejects. "But now he is laughing, what's going on?" He thought to himself.
The Hall Master then composed himself and sighed in relief. He then looks at the two Peak Elite level Power houses and commented, "You two made the right decision in your life. Not only for yourself but also your organization as well."
Elder Thornton and the female powerhouse looked at each other hearing the hall master's words.
The Hall Master continues to say, "Don't worry, once your mission is successful. I can assure you that no one can lay their hands on Zack Lockwood and Martin Dyers until they reach their home safely." After saying that he looked at Elder Thornton from the Hansen Campus and Elder Ruth Lawson from Winston institute.
Elder Thornton and Elder Ruth Lawson, both of them were shocked by the revelation. While Elder Ruth Lawson was quite surprised hearing the name Zack Lockwood. That kid is the current No.1 Rank Holder in the LeaderBoard at this moment. And followed by their Seed, Martin Dyers at 2nd Rank.
And the person in front of her is actually Elder of that kid. She once again looks at Elder Thornton in surprise. "What a coincidence? " She thought to herself. One of the main reasons why she agreed to the Hall Master request was that they need the star tower's protection. She already received intel from her organization that some forces agreed to kill Martin Dyers when he leaves the city.
But after hearing the Hall Master's words, she can be sure that the same can be said for that kid Zack Lockwood from the Hansen Campus. Forces even more ready to kill him at any cost than their Martin Dyers.
Elder Thornton on the other hand smiled wryly. The 1st and 2nd Rank Warrior's from this competition have no other choice except to seek help from the Star Tower at this moment. He already suspected this might be the case upon seeing her. Other than this reason, why would anyone willing to participate in this madness.
Earlier, He thought the strength of himself and Mr. Jonathan was enough to protect Zack. But now seeing the ongoing situation his hope is crushed. He knew if they caught off guard, it would be dangerous for Zack to be alive. So, he needs help from the Star Tower just like they need help from him.
The City Lord Garry is bewildered, "Why I haven't thought of this before? No wonder, The Hall Master is glad at this moment."
Seeing the stunned expression of these two people, the Hall Master smiled and said, "I'm impressed by those two kids from your organizations."
The atmosphere now turned somewhat normal.
Hearing the Hall Master's words, the two elders looked at him.
The Hall Master continued, "Especially, I'm much more impressed by that kid, Zack Lockwood. So far no one is able to reach his record. And of course that kid, Martin Dyers, is good too."
When he said that he is much more impressed with Zack Lockwood. Elder Ruth Lawson looks at Elder Thornton in envy. Even she and her organization are quite shocked on this matter. She wants to know more about this perverted(Monstrous talent) kid.
"Hall Master, you are quite generous with your words. Still that kid has a long way to go." Elder Thornton said with a proud smile.
Hearing that the Hall Master shook his head, He laughed wryly in his heart, "What you know? That kid is defeated at the hands of a Special Monster. If the monster's identity is exposed it will shake the entire outpost (1012) region."
He didn't have access to see the live battle. But he can view the details about the monsters that participants were facing. After seeing his record, he planned to send Zack Lockwood's record to higher ups. But he hadn't expected to face a crisis at this moment.. So, He will do it later after this mess is cleaned up.
