Chapter 326 Old Man Tucker's Hesitation

The Iron Post City

Blue leaves the cafeteria,

I voiced out my concern that I'm not ready to meet Eastwood Company officials. I'm not in any kind of hurry to do the bandit hunting mission. It all takes a few days to gather information from the public.

Remington Talley fell into contemplation. He thought about introducing Zack to Eastwood Company. It is a win-win situation for both of them. But this young man has a different opinion about it.

Shaking his head, Reminginton sighs. He can do only this much. It's up to the young man (Zack) whether he wants to join a good bandit hunting team or not.

Then, looking at Zack, he said, "Well, good luck with your training. If you need any help in the future, you can contact me."

After saying that, he walked out of the Blue Leaves cafeteria.

Seeing his disappearing back, I'm glad that he didn't make any fuss about it. In this new city, it's not wise to make an enemy out of him.

Then, looking around, I felt it didn't make any sense to spend time here. The conversation didn't go well, so I decided to go back to my hotel room to figure out the next course of action.

...

A few minutes later,

Eastwood Company,

The four-story building is busy with customers. Most of them were warriors who were going on a mission. Ever since the launch of the bandit hunting mission, EastWood Company has been receiving a new wave of customers.

Their artifacts were sold like hot cakes.

As long as there is a mission for these warriors, the East Wood Company won't lose these customers easily.

Right now, a middle-aged man is walking in front of the entrance. To manage crowds, two entrances and two exits were used to make some room for people.

The middleaged man is none other than Remington Talley. After having a conversation with Zack, he came directly to this building.

Remington is standing in front of the first entrance. He knew the first three floors were for artifacts. Artifacts for trainee apprentices can be bought on the first floor.

Simultaneously, artifacts for special trainees were placed on the 2nd floor for sale. And on the 3rd floor, artifacts for the Trainee Warrior were put on sale.

Only the fourth floor is not allowed for the public. It's an office space for officials of this building. But unlike the general public, Remington knows you can obtain intelligence on the 4th floor.

After taking a glance at the building, Remington walked past the entrance and entered the building.

There were several rooms on each floor. Each room had a specific artifact for sale. To buy weapon artifacts, warriors need to go to a specific room for that.

People can be seen coming in and going out of the room. He shifted his gaze from them and looked for Elevator.

Remington spotted the lift near the last room. In a few breaths, he arrived at the lift.

After pressing the button, the door opens.

Then he stepped inside and pressed the button for the 4th floor. It's not easy to visit people on the 4th floor unless there is an appointment. But it's not a problem for him.

When the lift reached the 4th floor, he walked out of the lift.

He was greeted by a burly figure. Remington smiled at seeing him. He knew this person was sitting here to guard the 4th floor.

The burly figure walked closer to him and asked him about the purpose of his visit.

Hearing that, Reminginton simply uttered, "Intelligence."

A quick glint flashes in the burly figure's eyes. He nodded in understanding. Then he accessed his communication watch to inform his higher ups.

The next moment, the burly figure got a reply.

Seeing that, he led Reminginton towards the last room.

After arriving in front of the room, the burly figure gestures to him to enter.

Remington nodded and opened the door to step inside.

A teenage-looking person is sitting behind the desk. Seeing that, Remington was dumfounded. The door behind him closed automatically.

Taking a glance at the teenage youth, Remington thought he had come to the wrong room.

But just as he was pondering

"Creak," the door opens.

A 60-year old man walked out of the washroom.

Seeing that someone has entered the room, he gestures to Richmond to take a seat.

Remington nodded in understanding. because he is familiar with this old man. The old man is the one who sells information in this building.

He thinks that the teenager might be his grandson.

After taking his seat, Remington waited for the old man to speak. The old man walked past his grandson and sat in another seat beside him.

Before the old man could speak, the teenager opened his mouth to say, "Hi, how may I help you?"

Remingtom is surprised; the teenager looked no older than the young man, Zack. So, what is he doing here?

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ Instead of answering, he glanced at the old man.

The East Wood Company is run by the Nelson family. The old man's name is Tucker Nelson. He is the fourth generation head of his family. The teenager sitting beside him is his grandson, Lewis.

Old Man Tucker wore a black blazer. He has white hair due to old age. He has fair skin and a healthy body.

Instead of reprimanding his grandson, Tucker looked towards Reminginton and said, "It's okay, you can speak in front of him."

Lewis is the same age as Zack. He is a Fire Elemental Warrior. His rank is that of a Peak special trainee.Unlike Zack, he is not suffering from a lack of resources.

Resources for fire elements are quite abundant in this region. With his rich family's support, it's easy for him to buy whatever resources he wants.

Lewis Nelson has a fair skin tone. He has black curly hair and eyes with a chiselled jaw line. He stands 6 feet tall.He was dressed in a white hoody and blue jeans.

Lewis smirked at hearing his grandfather's approval.

Remington laughed in his heart, looking at the teenager. Since the old man was a familiar person, he dropped his guard.

When it comes to the topic, his expression condenses immediately.

Remington said, "The iron hammer team was defeated by the black fist team yesterday.Two iron hammer team members died of their hands. With that loss, team leader Mervin disbanded the team directly."

Then he added further, "I want to know the reason for the black fist team's sudden action behind this."

Old Man Tucker wasn't surprised by his words. Upon seeing him, he already guessed why he came to his cabin.

He answered, "The things that happened with the iron hammer team are really unfortunate."

Then he raised his eyebrows further. The old man doesn't know whether it's okay to sell information to Remington.

Because this action done by the Black Fist team is not simple either. Remington is just a clerk working for a trading company.

Knowing this information is nothing less than playing in muddy water. For a clerk like him, it is unnecessary.

The old man also guessed: why is he concerned about the Iron Hammer team?The leader, Mervin, is a close friend of his. And some of the late members of the team from their team were also part of Burke Trading Centre's protection team.

If it were for revenge, old man Tucker sighs. He feels it's best not to tell the reason.

On the other hand, the light dimmed a little in Lewis Nelson's eyes. He knew the reason, but he waited for his grandfather to answer it.

It's normal to make a deal before revealing the information. He is not sure about the deal, so he didn't talk this time.

Remington watched the old man's frowning face. He is keeping silent intentionally.

The atmosphere inside the room turned into pin-drop silence.

Shaking his head, old man Tucker replied, "Remington, listen to me. This information is not good for you.

Then he added further by saying, "And it's also not good for the rest of the iron hammer team members."

Remington Talley's expression turned grim for a moment. He hadn't expected the reason behind the black fist team to be so confidential.

"What were these guys up to?" "In his heart," Remington said.

Not only Remington was surprised. Lewis turned towards his grandfather for an explanation. He thought his grandfather was going to talk about a deal. But instead, he is advising the customer.

Old Man Tucker gestures to his grandson to keep quiet by shaking his head slightly.

Lewis Welson is not okay with it. He has a different view. In his opinion, as long as the price is right, any kind of information can be sold.

Remington thought about Mervin's mental state. If he had agreed to join for work this morning, he wouldn't have cared that much about the black fist team.

But Mervin is clearly looking for revenge. And his remaining team members were also okay with it.

At first, he didn't plan to come here. After knowing that the iron hammer team is going to disband, He didn't know how to help Zack and keep his word.

So he thought about Eastwood Company. Since yesterday, there have been many twists and turns. In the end, the young man, Zack, didn't agree to come here with him.
