Chapter 567 Part 51: Battle Tower Trial (Core House)
Academy:
Everyone saw the changes in leaderboard rankings. The Battle Tower Area was already deserted. The wizard students feared that they might anger the dean.
So after Luke Wallace's capture. Everyone left the spot. But that doesn't mean that others have stopped watching the changes.
Vincent Carey is now on the 87th floor. It will be a matter of time before he reaches the 90th floor. Right now, everything is going against the Bloodline Hall's plan.
They are scheming to stop Vincent from participating in the Trial. On the other hand, Luke Wallace's actions forced him to re-enter the Trial.
Dean Tower:
Elder Galvin left the place some time ago. Now the dean is watching the developments alone. Once Vincent clears the 100th floor. He will be eligible to enter the inheritance room.
It's going to happen either today or tomorrow.
The old man hoped that Vincent would continue to the next floor as well. Because he knew Vincent had a stock of recovery potions.
That might help him to endure for a long time.
Bloodline Hall:
The Bloodline Hall Elders' expressions are ugly. None of them thought that things would turn out like this. Unlike the morning meeting this time the black-dressed women also joined this little meeting.
There aren't any serious discussions happening. Everyone gathered here because of the orders from the powerhouse.
But the targeted person is steadily moving forward in the Trial. If Vincent manages to clear the Trial, then they will face the wrath of the powerhouses.
"Common, can anyone tell me!"
"Who ordered that trash to come up with this plan?" one of the elders from the Council House raised the question.
Hearing that everyone's expression turned stiff. They all have seen the actions of Luke Wallace and his groups.
Clearly, someone instructed them from behind. The Black Dressed Woman didn't open her mouth. There are factions within the Bloodline Hall.
Now everyone will try to pin blame on the person behind Luke Wallace. The black-dressed woman's eyes turned cold. What these morons don't know?
The person who ordered her comes from the lineage of a certain powerhouse. Even if they wish to pin the blame on him. It would be a stupid move.
Unless they are ready to offend the powerhouse behind him.
Ignoring them, she looked at the screen. Vincent is now getting closer to the 90th floor. "Looks like that kid's rise is going to be unstoppable," She said in her heart.
They had tried to silence him. But that Gravity Kid manages to survive in the end. Though he had help from the seniors in his Halls.
But that kid's effort was unquestionable. From the beginning, she had no interest in this matter. She is just following the orders of someone else.
Now that person has yet to give her new orders. She feels that there are going to be severe undercurrents in the academy in the coming days.
....
Central Auction, Dragon City:
The auction building is located at the heart of the city. At this time, the auction house receives several items for their business.
Normally, the most expensive items are placed for the auctions. The other miscellaneous items are sold privately.
The auction times are taken into the buildings' underground rooms by the servants. The manager of the auction house was immediately notified.
Every time the news item comes up. His job is to inspect the items. When the last items were placed inside the underground room. The manager of the auction house entered the underground room.
After sending the servants out, he began to open the packages to inspect. One after another the packages were opened.
The items include artifacts, paintings, broken magic treasures, and potions. These are usual items bought by the auction.
When the manager opened the next package. He found a rock-like substance inside. A strange glint flashes in his eyes. Usually, no one bothers about the rocks. Unless it comes from a neighboring hostile country.
Meteor rocks are a specialty of that country. But these items are priceless for those residing in the meteor country.
But here no one will buy this rock. The manager is caught between conflicting emotions. Should he send it to other branches? It's not easy to replace the items.
It would cost the auction house extra money. For a second, he thought higher-ups made a mistake by selecting the items.
Usually, the auction items are bought from collectors. Maybe someone directly sold it for money. He had a headache.
He can't keep it here. Then a sudden realization struck his mind. Some time ago, a core house wizard from the Yellow River Academy had requested him to keep an eye on certain items.
"What was his name?" The manager tried to recall the person.
"John Meyers," He muttered to himself.
After remembering that, he tried to contact the person.
Meanwhile,
John Meyers is staying in the Elemental Hall. It's been a few weeks. Since he has become a True House Wizard.
Lately, he had no time to visit Vincent Carey because of the mission. But that doesn't mean that he didn't know what was happening.
He has been keeping an eye on Vincent Carey. There is also another reason. Why didn't he want to be seen together with Vincent Carey?
Some time ago, an elder from the same hall contacted him. He had inquired about Vincent Carey and his parents.
Which had sent him deep chills down his spine. He knows the Elemental Hall is not good either. The interests are divided. Some stand on the side of the Bloodline Hall to reap benefits.
While others stay away from the conflict to avoid the muddy water. But he knows one thing: there aren't many who support the raising of the Sub-Taboo Hall.
Apart from the Elemental Hall, the Bloodline Hall, and Taboo Hall people are also looking for him. To avoid meeting them, he purposely chooses several missions to complete.
It became clear that the people were investigating Vincent's background. If Vincent's parents' whereabouts are exposed. Then it would lead to severe consequences.
But right now, he came back from the mission a day before. And he has not selected a new mission so far.
