Willow City:
In the rich area of this city, a newly built mansion was located. The remnants of the Crimson Hall are living here.
After the incident at Hanson Academy, they got resources to build their places.
Inside the mansion, the patriarch of the family is discussing with others about future development.
"Patriarch, I think we should slow down our development," One of the elders raised the point.
Hearing that old man patriarch furrowed his eyebrows. He is an old man in his sixties. When Crimson Hall was in its heyday. Their family is considered to be one of the largest families in the Tier 7 city.
They used to be stronger than other medium-sized families. Now they have been reduced to small families in the Tier-8 City.
The old man was unwilling to live like this. Not only him but there are other remnant families as well. He had already discussed joining hands with others.
"Patriarch?" The elder called out.
The patriarch snorted coldly.
"Elder, you are too old to handle the family matters. You should retire from your position," At this moment, a middle-aged man walked into the room and said with a smile on his face.
The middle-aged man is the son of the old patriarch. He plays a key part in the family development of the city.
"My son is the right elder. You can leave this place," The old man said in a kind tone.
Hearing that elder who raised the point earlier left the place with a bitter smile.
"Coward," The middle-aged man sneered.
"Father, these people have lost their spine. Now they don't face any hardships," The middle-aged man said.
"Sigh"
"Ronald, my son. You did good by bribing the local City Lord. Otherwise, we wouldn't have this place to build a mansion," The old man said with a smile.
Hearing that the middle-aged man named Ronald got excited.
"Father, I just got permission from the City Lord to hire a few warriors for our family," He said with a smile.
Hearing the faces of other elders changes drastically. They had a similar mentality to the elder who left a few moments ago.
But this reaction didn't go unnoticed under the Patriarch's eyes.
Even Ronald saw the displeasure in many of their faces. His heart boils in anger. He is going to be the next family head.
In his opinion, these people should flatter him. Instead, they are showing disappointment on their faces.
Suddenly, one of the elders said, "Patriarch, it's not been a year over. Since the Hansen Academy was destroyed."
"What if...?" The elder stopped the sentence midway.
"What do you mean?" The old man asked with a hint of anger in his eyes. He wanted to forget about the incident.
But these people keep reminding him. Ronald's face is distorted as well.
The elder sighed before saying, "The Hansen Academy's famous student is still alive."
"What if he comes back? If he knows our location, then it would be troublesome," he added.
"Ha...Ha...Ha...," the old man laughed until a teardrop fell from his eyes.
"You are talking about that kid who got into the Tier-6 academy," The old man said.
Then he thought of something before saying, "We don't have to worry about him. Because there is someone who is going to cover the sky for us."
"Besides, the attack on the Hansen academy was not planned or started by us. It's the Parazam Hunger League member's plan."
"You don't know the strength of this hunter league. As far as I know, they are not just a local adventure league, they are big forces."
"Even those academies in the Tier-6 cities have to take a step back. The Hanson Academy student was nowhere near those big forces," The old man patriarch said in a solemn tone.
Hearing that everyone's faces turned bright. No one thought about this before. Finally, the elder realized the patriarch had backing.
"Harumph," Ronald gave a cold snort.
"Do you think my father had no plans?"
"The esteemed guest has assured us. No one from the Tier-6 academy will bother us," Ronald said with assurance.
Hearing that elders became assured. Now they have let go of their worry. After the end of the discussion, Ronald walked out of the mansion.
There was a big smile on his face. He was happy that the patriarch had agreed to his proposal.
Then he decided to celebrate this success. He decided to eat at the famous inn. But he doesn't know that someone else has spotted him.
When he was ready to go with others. Jonathan appeared out of nowhere, grabbed his shoulders, and disappeared from the spot.
Ronald was terrified. His face has lost blood. Before he knew it, Jonathan had dragged him out of the city.
Tud!
Jonathan put his body on the ground. Ronald stood up in disbelief. When he looked around. He saw this place was not in the city.
"Where is this?" He said in a horrified voice.
Suddenly, someone appeared before him.
The person is none other than Jonathan. Seeing that Ronald almost peed himself. Except for the esteemed guest, he saw no one who could fly in the air.
Jonathan looked at his terrified face before asking, "Are you Ronald?"
Ronald was stunned for a second before nodding his head. He doesn't know the identity of the warrior in front of him.
"Good"
"I'm from the Parazam Hunter League," Jonathan said.
Hearing that terrified Ronald was shocked before joy returned to his face. For a second he thought he was a goner.
"Sh!t"
"He was from the same place as the esteemed guest," Ronald said in his heart.
The next second, he thought of something.
"Maybe the esteemed guest has sent this person," He said in his heart.
"Lord, who are you?" Ronald asked.
Jonathan saw through his thoughts.
He said, "I'm from the audit department of the Parazam Hunter League. I heard your family is using the name of our organization to develop."
Jonathan was dumbfounded.
"Imposter? He uttered in surprise.
Then he realized something was wrong. The next second, his expression changes drastically.
"Lord, we don't know anything about the imposter. But the identity of the imposter is real. He is a member of the Parazam Hunter League," Ronald said in a serious tone.
At this time, his entire back was drenched in sweat. The powerhouse in front of him was real. He is facing invisible pressure from him.
Jonathan snorted before releasing a small part of the pressure.
Ronald collapsed onto the ground. The pressure is breaking his body. Blood escaped from his mouth.
Ronald felt the breath of death. Any wrong word from now on will cost his life.
Jonathan removed the pressure before asking, "Tell me the identity of the impostor. Do you have any pictures of him?"
Hearing that a trace of clarity returned to his eyes. Then he slowly raised his sci-fi watch to show the image.
"His name was Henrick," Ronald said.
Jonathan set his gaze on the image. In that image, a blonde-haired person is shaking hands with someone.
Jonathan noticed the dress. The person in the image is wearing a dress which is worn by the elite members.
Elite members are part of the inner circle. Those people usually have business in the Tier-6 cities. What do the inner circle members have anything to do with Crimson Hall?
He is missing the connections. Ronald was on the verge of a mental health breakdown.
Jonathan thought for a moment before releasing the full coercion.
Pfff!
The next second, Ronald turned into a blood mist.
Jonathan looked at him before disappearing from the spot. He brought Zack here to meet his family.
But he never expected to uncover such a plot. He didn't expect the Parazam Hunter League to poke its nose into the master's business.
As far as he knows, the person must be from an influential family. It's not easy for a family to become part of an inner circle.
"Is this act of a certain young master of a family or part of a bigger scheme?" Jonathan said in his heart.
He is moving back to the white snow city. First, he is going to bring Zack to the willow city. Then let him annihilate the remnant's family.
Then he is going to uncover the truth behind Parazam Hunter League's involvement. He hopes it's not connected to the main branch, the inner post.
Meanwhile,
The death of Ronald alarmed the family. The old patriarch couldn't believe his eyes. The soul card of his son was broken.
It happens in case of death. So the old man was in disbelief.
"Who killed my son?" He asked in a trembling tone.
A few minutes ago, he agreed to his proposal. So what happened now? He knew his son was going to celebrate his success.
Is there someone who wants to block the rise of their family? The old man thought it must be the case.
The city lord is not only favorable to their family. But also to some other families in the city. So the old man decided to meet the City Lord.
