Iron Post City,
Carla Gill swiftly acted after getting orders from the team leader. Soon the news reached the other four teams' leaders.
The top five teams,
1. Fire Sword Team: Leader Mateo Roth,
2. Breezing Wind Team: Leader Regina Hicks,
3. Team Drizzling Rainwater: Bethany Marsh,
4. Igneous Earth Team: Leader Morgan Buck.
5. Silver Shield Team: Leader Caleb Green.
Surprisingly, the top 5 strongest teams of bandit hunting missions are divided based on natural elements.
Inside the room of one of the reputed hotels in this city,
The team leader, Morgan Buck, received the news from his Vice Captain, Morris.
Earlier, Carla thought it was inappropriate to contact their leader directly. So she sent the message to the other four Vice Captains.
A quick glint flashes in Morgan's eyes.
He muttered to himself, "As expected, he can' help but suspect us." Then, looking at his vice captain, he said, "You can leave now."
Hearing that, Morris hesitated a little bit. But he still nodded in the end and walked out.
Morgan was all alone in the room. He began to contemplate about the meeting. Earlier, when the news about the Black Fist team's destruction swept away the city.
Including him, the other three leaders decided to stay low for a while. Because everyone knows how scary the background of the Fire Sword Team is?
He quickly made a call to Caleb Green.
When the call was connected, a solemn voice sounded in his ears, "Did you receive the message?"
"Caleb!" Morgan said.
Then Morgan added further, "Yes, I received the message from Morris just now."
Caleb replied, "Well, this wasn't surprising." We already predicted this would happen."
Hearing that, Morgan sighed and replied, "I told you before we shouldn't follow their methods blindly. Now he will suspect us more. "
Morgan's face was not good when he said that.
The atmosphere becomes solemn for a moment. None of them said anything. Caleb also remained silent for a moment.
"Okay, before going to see him. We will have our own meeting together, "Caleb said.
Morgan said, "Alright." After that, both of them ended their calls. Morgan is quite close to Caleb. On the other hand, the other two leaders are quite close to each other.
Since everyone belonged to one camp, they didn't act against each other in this iron post city.
A few weeks ago, everyone decided to copy Fire Sword Team tactics. Morgan was one who strongly opposed it.
At that time, none of them inquired about Mateo Roth's background from their family. So they didn't mind Morgan's objection. They openly subdued other teams.
It was only after some time that everyone came to know about Mateo Roth's background. Everyone strongly regretted it, but it was too late to change anything.
Isn't it like Morgan and others are scared of the Roth family? But four of them belong to the opposite camp. Four of their families were subsidiary to a force called White Snow Academy. which is a hostile force to Crimson Hall.
Now the Crimson Hall is under the limelight because of the competition. Their own families strongly advised them to not get involved in any trouble.
That's why Morgan is slightly worried. If their family came to know about this, then it would be unnecessary trouble for them.
Because all four of them were seed candidates for their family. They will participate in Crimson Hall's competition.
Morgan doesn't want any mishap to happen in the middle.
After letting out a deep sigh, he decided to stop thinking about it. Everyone at the meeting will soon know the result. Morgan thinks Mateo was not stupid enough to offend hostile forces.
He is betting on one thing. Before the crimson hall competition, no one will act stupidly, especially the seed candidates.
Alternatively, at the camping site,
Mateo saw Carla was coming towards him.
Mateo asked, "What did they say?"
Hearing that, Carla told them about the response given by the other four Vice Captains.
A slight glint flashes in Mateo's eyes.
"It's good that they have accepted my request. Otherwise, something is wrong with their attitude, "Mateo muttered to himself.
Then both of them talked about a few other things before Carla exited his tent.
Mateo knows the names of the other four leaders.
For the first time since he came here, a curiosity about the other four teams rose in his heart.
A couple of weeks ago, everything was fine. But later, the other four teams started to follow his method.
At that time, he didn't mind it. He was hoping that his family would call him back. But everything has changed in the past few days.
May Ford Academy's unexpected offer of additional quota to his family, it troubled him greatly. Later, that trouble was solved in the end.
Mateo let out a deep sigh. He wanted to put an end to the Black Fist team's issue. Many reports were placed on his table in front of him. The other teams under his command have already searched the outer areas of the insect forest.
Aside from bandits, they didn't see any new faces. Even weaker teams belong to other four teams fled once they came across our warriors.
"These reports really didn't say anything," Mateo said to himself.
He ponders, "If not the outer area, what could it be?" He couldn't believe there was no clue found from the outer area.
Then he decided to call his father. He wanted to know what happened in the family. He was quite sure Elder Brody must have left for the May Ford Academy.
When the call was connected, "What is it, Mateo?" His voice sounded through his sci-fi watch.
Mateo asked, "Father, Remember sometime ago, I talked to you about other strong teams beside us? "
Hearing that, Hector wasn't surprised. He asked back, "Yes, I remember clearly." Did they annoy you or what?"
Sometime ago, the Roth family collected intel about forces residing in the iron post city. They also collected information about bandit hunting mission teams.
Hector withheld some information from his son because of the family's orders. He knew the other four teams' families were subsidiary forces under White Snow Academy.
Another strong force, he can even say it's currently stronger than Crimson Hall. Later, the Roth family found out that their presence was not intentional.
Four families decided to train their descendants unanimously. So it was no surprise to see them in Iron Post City. Hector only hopes for no clash between them.
At the same time, Mateo replied, "No, everything is fine here. But I'm going to meet them tomorrow. Before talking to them, I thought about knowing their background first. "
Hearing that, Hector hesitated a little bit. He didn't know what the meeting was all about.
Yet, Hector decided to tell him. It's better to avoid unnecessary trouble. If Mateo knows about them, he will show some restraint.
Then Hector told his son everything about the other four teams.
Mateo's eyes lit up with surprise. He was quite shocked internally, but he wasn't scared of them. In his opinion, people from hostile forces think twice before offending him.
But now that he knows about them, his suspicion has increased greatly. He hasn't offended them so far in this city. But the same can't be said about them.
"Perhaps they didn't want someone from the opposing camp to be ranked number one in this city," Mateo reasoned in his heart.
Then images of Elder Brody flash before his eyes. Mateo immediately asked, "Father, what happened after the meeting?"
"What is Old doing right now?" He asked back to-back questions.
Because this incident was not known to his friends back at the academy, Otherwise, he would have asked them what's happening out there.
Hector didn't hide anything; he told Elder Brody he had already gone to meet the dean of the academy. "Only after knowing May Ford Academy's decision, the Roth family will do something," Hector said.
Then they talked about other topics before ending their call.
Next morning,
The meeting was scheduled for this morning at 10 a.m. But the other four teams decided to meet each other at 8 in the morning before going to the camping site.
At 8 A.M. in the morning,
One of the private rooms of the luxurious restaurant.
Four team leaders gathered together.
Caleb muttered, "All the other well-known shops have died down." "Onlya few of them were remaining. After saying that, he sighed.
Hearing that, Morgan commented, "We are here to discuss the Fire Sword Team. Not the economic condition of Iron Post City. "
Caleb didn't say anything, but he looked at the other two leaders in front of them and said, "You two don't seem to care about anything."
After saying that, Caleb further added, "You also know that the guy is from the Roth family. Did your family say anything about it? "
Because last night, Caleb already had a discussion with his family. His family advised him not to cause any problems for the Caleb family.
Hearing that, he understands it's not wise to get involved with the Fire Sword Team. At that time, he also regretted it. Why did they have to copy the Fire Sword Team's strategy?
Thinking about it, he sighed again.
Seeing his continuous sighing, Morgan raised his eyebrows. "This guy, what's wrong with him?" He said in his heart.
