Time passed,
After stabilizing the base, he opened his eyes. Feeling the new profound strength running through his body.
"Ha...Ha....Ha....," Carlos Kent burst into laughter.
"My long cherished wish has come true," He grinned ear to ear. For a moment, he couldn't believe his eyes.
The soil essence in his dantian was in a semi- semi-liquid state. But the power was enough to explode many half-step SSS Elite warriors.
"No wonder that bitch was so c@cky," Carlos commented. He is referring to the dean. He was suppressed under her administration.
And he can't forget the humiliation that he had suffered from the other day. His heart wants to settle the account. But the supreme elder's presence is enough to make his dream a pipe dream.
Unless Rebecca herself walks out of the academy. Which is not going to happen. She is the dean. She is responsible for protecting the academy.
But he set his eyes on the next target. He can't target the dean for the time being. But he can kill the lightning brat.
"Zack Lockwood," He mumbled under his breath.
He had promised the Giant Tower. He can't walk away from it. Otherwise, if the matter is exposed , not only will he become an enemy of the Saw Scale Viper Academy. But he will also become an enemy of the Giant Tower Academy.
Then he stood up and removed the formation. Nobody would have thought someone like him was living in the city.
When he exited the room. He immediately turned on his communication devices. Right after, he was greeted by many notifications.
Unsurprisingly, all of them are from the Headmaster of the Giant Tower Academy.
A quick glint flashes in his eyes.
He then contacted the headmaster. When the call was connected. He shared the good news.
"Good" "Good"
He uttered twice.
"Now you can kill that lightning brat," The Headmaster added further.
Carlos Kent's mouth curved into an arc.
"Well, consider that brat is dead now onwards. But I'm curious about one thing. Can you tell me?" Carlos asked.
"What?" The headmaster replied.
"Why is the Giant Tower obsessed with killing that kid?"
"No, I should change the question."
"Why do you want that kid dead so badly?" Carlos asked.
On the other end of the call.
The Giant Tower Headmaster stopped talking. There was silence for a moment.
"You are being overly smart. But that's not good for you. We gave you the resources for the breakthrough. Now it's time for you to uphold the deal," The Giant Tower Headmaster said.
But his expression was unsightly. He didn't expect Carlos to see through his intentions.
At the same time, Carlos Kent smiled in response. He is now somewhat sure that the Headmaster is acting in personal interest. It's nothing to do with the Giant Tower Academy at all.
But he was curious about what made him do that? Then shaking his head, he decided to ask him later.
"Okay, I will kill that kid for sure," Carlos assured him. After ending the call, he began to do other work.
Meanwhile,
The Giant Tower Headmaster walked back to his room. There is a secret compartment laid with formation. Which would prevent any prying eyes.
After entering the compartment, he immediately contacted the middle man and updated him with the details.
He is sending information on Zack Lockwood's current status. After sending the information, he exited the room.
As Carlos rightly guessed, there is indeed something wrong with the Headmaster's behavior.
The Giant Tower Headmaster's eyes grew cold. He never expected Carlos to catch on to something. Unknowingly, Carlos has dug himself a grave.
If Carlos had started silent, he wouldn't have thought about silencing him. Now, the headmaster decided to contact the middleman once Zack is dead.
He doesn't want to leave any liabilities such as Carlos Kent.
...
From MC's perspective:
Days passed,
After that bad episode, I slowly started to visit the monster zones as usual. Because fighting is the only thing that can distract me from unnecessary things.
Ever since I handed the job to Jonathan. I have been feeling relaxed. I know he will do something about it. Though the academy disappointed me.
But I believe Jonathan will break any kind of conspiracy. Doesn't matter whether it's a conspiracy of Carlos Kent or the Giant Tower Academy.
I'm sure I will get results soon. Surprisingly, the duo, Ernest and Laverne recovered from the bad phase as well.
Three of us are hunting the monsters in the monster zones. That incident brought a huge change in them. They are actively fighting against the monsters.
Though everything is going alright for us. There was no sign of Carlos Kent these days. Which is quite disturbing.
We feared that guy would come back and ask for an explanation. Fortunately, the dean took care of it. She canceled such an individual task.
A few days later,
I thought everything was going fine until I received a message from the Special Faction Head account.
Seeing that my pupil shrank.
"He is back," I mumbled under my breath.
Carlos Kent summoned me tomorrow. He must have known that I'm spending so much time in the monster zones lately.
So he sent me a message prior. He wants to meet me. For what? I frowned.
When it comes to Carlos Kent. I don't believe the dean's words at all. He may have a good career record and good reputation in the academy.
But whenever I'm near him. I'm getting nothing except the bad vibes. It was much more than the danger of the Crimson Hall back then.
What to do now? I'm in a place where I can't share my worries with a third person. More Importantly, I'm the one feeling that Carlos Kent is not a good guy.
Then I calmed down before sending a message to Jonathan. He has not called me back yet. I wonder whether he has collected intel.
Shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts before going to do my other work.
The following day,
After waking up, I began to do my morning routine. Then I entered the training room to practice. Sitting cross-legged, I brought the monster core and held it in my palm.
Then I started to run the blood element method. Right after, the monster core energies entered my body. Then I guided the energy according to the blood element method.
The monster energies started to flow through the meridians. Right after, red blood light appears above the blood.
The red blood light started to convert the monster energies into the white energies. These white energies then began drilling into my bones.
The next moment, I felt severe pain. But as the time passed, I started to feel numb all over my body.
Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.
After a few hours, I stopped practicing. The monster core in my hands crumbles into pieces. I stood up and was excited from the room.
My skin surface was covered with black impurities. Then I went to take a bath.
Several minutes later,
I changed into a new set of clothes. After getting ready, I walked out of the building.
Today is going to be a pain. Carlos Kent summoned me today. I wonder what he is going to do?
When I reached the place. I saw Ernest and Laverne waiting for me as usual. Seeing that I responded with a smile.
"Let's go," Ernest said.
Then we entered the hall. Seeing their calm look, I couldn't help but think about Carlos Kent.
If I said to them, he was back. Then the mood will be ruined. So I decided to hide. After receiving the food plate, we sat on the chair nearby.
"So, what is today's plan?" Laverne asked.
"Shall we go back to the lake?" She added.
My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. Looks like she got improvement in her ice technique.
"Zack?" Ernest called out my name.
"Hmm," I raised my head to look at them.
"Ahem, today I'm going to skip. I decided to train in a gravity chamber," I said to them.
Hearing that Ernest and Laverne looked at each other.
"Well, no problem. We can go to the gravity chamber as well," Laverne said with a smile.
Seeing that, I sighed inwardly. Unknowingly, the three of us got closer. Then we continued to eat.
Several minutes later,
We walked out of the building.
"Okay, we will see you at the gravity training room," Laverne said.
Ernest also nodded his head at me.
Then we parted ways. I head straight towards the office building. But my heart was not calm at all.
A few minutes later,
I reached the place. This time the structure was newly built. Looks like after the destruction the place was renovated in a few days.
Creak~
The door opened.
Seeing that, I stepped inside. Then I saw Carlos Kent sitting behind the desk. But at the same time, my senses are alarmed with the danger.
I broke out in a cold sweat. "What happened?" I said in my heart. The danger was coming from Carlos Kent. But he is looking at me with an amicable smile.
