From MC's perspective:
After calming down my heart, I didn't go out to meet Dean and others. The current situation can't be solved without the help of Jonathan.
Before I could think further.
Beep!
I received a call from Jonathan. Seeing that a hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. Then my whole body got relaxed all of a sudden.
I attended the call the next second, a deep voice reached my ears.
"Young master Zack, what happened?"
"Are you alright?"
Hearing that familiar voice, my eyebrows ease down a little bit.
"Jonathan, where are you?"
"The Viper Academy and myself are under threat. The Hunter League has found out the truth. They are asking the academy to dispel me. So that they can capture me," After saying that I explained further.
A few minutes later,
"I'm getting closer to Viper City"
"I'll be there within an hour," Jonathan said.
He has been rushing out at full speed. After knowing that there was no danger for the time being. He didn't stop.
One hour later,
Knock!
I heard knocking on the door. Knowing who the visitor might be. I went to open the door.
Creak!
Jonathan walked in. His whole body was tense. Seeing that, I wasn't surprised. He must have heard the news.
Since he was here there was no need to be afraid.
"First, I'll send a message to Dean and Carlos. Then only they can sleep peacefully," I said to Jonathan before starting typing.
Jonathan is thinking about something else. When he was flying over Viper City. He saw that the whole city was in panic.
The Hunter League's action has caused so much disturbance. A chill flashes in his eyes.
After sending the message, I sat opposite him on the sofa.
"Thankfully, you returned in time. Manager Shaw might receive help from their Supreme Elder," I said to him.
Now I'm looking forward to Manager Shaw's end. I didn't tell him everything including the attack on me.
I can't predict Jonathan. If he learns the truth, he might uproot the whole steel city. This might give the teacher a headache.
"Young master, this is my fault. I didn't expect the Hunter League to go to such a length. Because of the death of one of their inner circle members," Jonathan said.
"It's not your fault," I replied with a sigh.
A quick gleam flashes in Jonathan's eyes.
No one would offend other forces just like that. But he finds the manager of the local branch out of the ordinary.
Suddenly, he wonders whether there are any backhands behind this situation. Because the actions of this manager are a bit odd.
On the other hand, I received a reply from Dean and Carlos. Both of them are thankful.
A hint of guilt appeared in my eyes. The current situation was because of me. I was impatient.
I could have dealt with the crimson hall's remnants after getting into the inner post. Now, I will have odd relations with Hunter League in the future.
"Alright, I'll be staying in Viper City. I'll come next morning," Jonathan said before leaving the place.
Looking at his back, I sighed inwardly. Fortunately, he didn't ask to meet the dean. Otherwise, she could have recounted everything.
Then I stretched my arms before going to sleep.
Meanwhile,
Manager Shaw has already arrived at the Steel City. It's just he is waiting for the Head Manager to appear who was in retreat.
But his palms are sweating. The Head Manager can be only disturbed in dire situations.
Right now, the Steel City and their Hunter League are not facing any threat. Instead, he wants to use the Head Manager's hand to inflict damage on the Viper Academy.
When he returned to the Steel City. He saw the mood of the city had changed. The turmoil has calmed down. No one is raising a finger at him.
He knows the reason behind this change. Because the news must have reached everyone's ears. He didn't deliberately hide his actions.
Now all the big tier-6 cities including the remaining big academies must have heard the news as well.
Not only did his actions scare others but it was also work as a deterrent. Hereafter no one would think of them as a soft permission.
The Steel City's change made his decision more firm. Now the inner circle members know the identity of the killer.
They are not raising any more questions. They became even more respectful after seeing his actions.
Now everyone is waiting for the Head Manager to come out.
Time passes,
He keeps staring at the metallic room. This place is located deep in the underground of their Hunter League Tower.
No one can reach the place except him.
Creak!
The door in front of him made a creaking sound.
Hearing that his heart skips a beat for a second. He realized that the Head Manager was coming out.
The next second, the door opened fully.
An old man appears to be in his sixties and walks out. He has a full-grown beard and white hair stretching up to his shoulders.
He was dressed in white and green clothes. His eyes are black. He is 6ft tall in height. His skin tone was pale.
The old man looks like a rich man. But Manager Shaw is under pressure looking at him.
"He has reached Peak Stage," He was shocked to the core. He knows the Head Manager spends most of his time in retreat.
But he didn't know it was a breakthrough retreat. The people who got posted here were mostly warriors with exhausted potential.
But the old man doesn't seem to be like that. Unlike other forces, the Head Manager comes from the inner post. He was not native at all.
That's why he was surprised by the pressure in front of him.
A disdain flashes in the old man's eyes.
"What happened?"
"You seem alright. What's the need for an emergency message," he asked. His eyes stared at the manager like a venomous snake.
Manager Shaw was trembling. He had imagined this scene before. But still, he couldn't stop the inner fear.
