From MC's perspective:
Carlos Kent looked at me. I met his gaze without any hesitation. I know what he is going to do next. But I'm not afraid of him.
Then suddenly, Carlos said,"Alright, you can leave.
Hearing that, I sighed in relief. Then after nodding at him, I left the room. But on the way to the dorm room, I couldn't get rid of this feeling.
There is something about Carlos Kent which seems wrong to me. Then shaking my head, I push back unnecessary thoughts back off my mind.
A few minutes alter,
I entered my dorm room. Then I started to do my work.
Days passed in a blink of an eye,
The Academy seems peaceful but there is a lot of undercurrent surging. Carlos Kent is busy investigating the whereabouts of the sharp daggers' leader Vik.
But unfortunately, his attempts ended in failure. On top of it, the Giant Tower headmaster is pressuring him from time to time.
He wants two things. One is to kill the sharp daggers' leader Vik. Second, he wants to lure Zack Lockwood out.
Carlos is unable to find solutions to this mess.
A few days later,
He summoned two super elite warriors to office.They are none other than Ernest and Laverne.
Carlos' office,
Carlos tapped his fingers on the table. He is patiently waiting for those two to appear. The reason he summoned them was because he lost patience.
He finally decided to issue a team mission himself.
Earlier, he thought he could find a way to resolve the two issues. But he wasn't able to find the leader Vik. And he wasn't able to lure Zack out either.
Creak~
The door opened,
Ernest and Laverne entered the room together.
A trace of complexity can be seen in their eyes. The Special Faction Leader rarely contacts them unless there is an important mission.
Seeing them entering the room, Carlos stopped tapping.
His eyes flickered with a slight glint. He saw through their cultivation base.
"Both of you are doing well," He said. This time it's not a false word. It's a genuine quote from his heart.
If not for their relationship with Zack Lockwood, he could have helped them.
Ernest and Laverne looked at each other.
Carlos saw through their thoughts.
"Ahem"
"I have a mission for you guys," He said with a cough.
Ernest understood. Before coming here both of them thought of this possibility. So they weren't surprised.
"Faction Head"
"We will do it," Both of them replied at the same time.
Carlos revealed a faint smile on his face. But he quickly recovered.
"Good"
"But the team requires one more person."
"Where is Zack right now?"Carlos asked.
Laverne opened her mouth to say,"Faction Head, he has gone to the monster zone. He will be back by the evening."
Carlos nodded his head.
"Alright, ask him to join you as well."
"Tomorrow morning, three of you will leave. The mission is to capture a rogue criminal hiding the bedrock city."
"There was no time limit for the mission. You guys can return after capturing him. I'll send you the full mission details later."
Carlos explained without showing much expression on his face. But in his heart he doesn't want any mishap to happen.
If he doesn't do it, then he won't get the resources from the Giant Tower.
Ernest nodded his head and left together with Laverne.
After leaving the room both kept silent until they walked out of the building.
When they left, Laverne uttered,"Strange."
She turned toward Ernest and asked,"Did you notice something?'
Ernest raised his eyebrows before nodding his head in approval.
"He usually doesn't give us any private mission. But I can see that he is serious about the mission," Ernest replied.
"How can you tell?" Laverne asked back.
She knows Ernest is more intuitive.
Ernest smiled before adding,"Did you notice?"
"There is no time limit for the mission. Which means he wants us to complete the mission no matter what."
A disbelief appeared on Laverne's face. She understood the importance of the mission.
"What would happen if he failed to complete the mission?" She asked back.
Ernest revealed a bitter smile on his face. The mood of the faction head was that he couldn't understand.
"If such thing happens, then only dean can save us," He replied
Laverne stopped talking. Of course, she realized the mission was not simple. They have to complete it no matter what.
Meanwhile,
After arranging everything, Carlos sat back. He grinning ear to ear. This time he has arranged a trap in bedrock city.
The mission is bound to be unsuccessful. But it's a pity that he doesn't want to involve the other two. As they have nothing to do with the Giant Tower's hatred.
From the beginning he was looking for a way to lure Zack out. At first he thought about using Viper City for his plan. But after the gathering incident everything has changed.
The city is under strict investigation. Many spies were found lurking in Viper City. Which made the dean to overhaul the entire intelligence department.
Recently, he heard that the dean is directly overseeing the intelligence department. So he decided to stay away from the Viper City.
Then he made the bedrock city as an alternative for his plans.
Beep!
When he was lost in thoughts. He was disturbed by the notification sound.
"Who is it?" He uttered in a dissatisfied voice. But when he saw the contact name his mouth twitched.
The person is none other than the Giant Tower HeadMaster.
He then attended the call.
"Carlos, you seem relaxing these days," A deep voice sounded from the other end of the call.
Nowadays, Carlos used to hear these annoying voices. So he didn't get offended.
"Headmaster, there is good news for you," He replied.
Hearing that there was a silence for a moment before he heard a loud reply.
"What?"
"Did you find that Vik?"
"Where is he right now?"
"Did you kill him?"
Carlos left speechless.
"Wait a second."
"Zack Lockwood is going to visit bedrock city for a mission tomorrow. You should arrange some men to assassinate him," He said in a calm tone.
"Well, I see."
"You did a good job. I will make sure that brat won't escape this time."
The Giant Tower Headmaster said in a solemn tone.
Carlos can feel the heaviness from the voice. Then suddenly he realized something.
"Wait a minute, don't send anyone above super elite warriors. Then our dean will notice something," Carlos advised.
"Harumph,"
"That woman won't be able to find anything. And you will get part of the promised resources."
"Next, you should focus on finding that Vik."
After saying that the Giant Tower Headmaster ended his call.
Carlos Kent's eyes gleamed with a twinkle. At least he has managed to get the resources. Now he doesn't have to worry about lack of resources for the time being.
At the same time,
The Giant Tower Headmaster was finally in a good mood. He was sitting back in his office. These days he isn't able to concentrate on academy affairs.
Ever since the sharp daggers' leader disappeared. He felt their killing commission could be exposed.
It would be best if they can find and eliminate him. But unfortunately he wasn't able to get information on him.
When it comes to Carlos Kent. He was dissatisfied earlier. Now that man has given him a good chance.
He turned on the holographic gadget. The next second, a holographic projection appeared. He then searched for the bedrock city.
The bedrock city is a good spot. Unlike other main cities, this city doesn't come under any particular academy.
The bedrock city is quite independent. He can do a lot of things. When the map appeared. He began to investigate.
At the same time, he ordered the intelligence department elder to collect the news.
Time passed,
After a few hours, the intelligence department elder briefed him on everything.
After knowing that the bedrock city is visited by many rogue warriors. He formed a good plan in his mind.
As long as there are rogue warriors. There is no shortage of greedy people. He can make use of them to murder Zack Lockwood.
When this thought appeared in his heart. He felt this plan is feasible and less risky.
The Giant Tower Head immediately dispatched people to contact the greedy warriors. As long as they fulfill the task they will be rewarded with resources.
If Zack Lockwood ever steps inside the bed rock, he will be targeted by many.
...
From MC's perspective:
5pm,
Swoosh~
I appeared in the teleportation tower. But the next moment, I was greeted by two familiar people.
"Laverne"
"Ernest"
"Are you guys waiting for me?" I asked.
These two won't appear unless something important happens.
Laverne blinked her big eyes before asking,"I thought you were going to spend the night in the monster zone."
Hearing that I shook my head in denial.
Ernest stepped forward and said,"Alright, we need to talk."
A quick glint flashes in my eyes.
"Why is he looking serious?" I said in my heart.
"Let's go, we will discuss on the way," I replied, looking at them.
