Chapter 328 Mr. Jonathan Arrives At The City

(From MC's Perspective)

At the City of Iron Post,

After knowing that Mr. Jonathan would arrive here in a couple of days, I let go of my previous worries. In the meantime, I can use this opportunity to spend time on essence cultivation. Try to get through as much as possible.

Like that, a few days went by. Then the outside City looked rather calm. But there are actually undercurrents surging in the dark. while Zack was immersed in cultivation inside the hotel room.

Terrible changes take place in the insect forest. All lower level bandit hunting teams were subdued by the top 5 teams. These changes quickly spread throughout the city.

From then on, no new warriors were willing to take the bandit hunting mission. The number of bandits killed by adventurers was also greatly reduced. which led to an increase in the rate of banditry.

All the merchants and other traders were greatly alarmed. Together, they had decided to confront the City Lord on this issue. But unfortunately, no one is allowed inside the City Lord Mansion.

The entire iron post city is in a state of disturbance. Some wealthy families have already begun to sell out their property shares and plan to settle down in other cities.

If this goes on, the economic growth of the city will be hit hard. Apart from merchants and traders, normal residents of the iron post city were dissatisfied by their City Lord's silence.

They would be okay if there was any single statement released from the City Lord Mansion. But there is none whatsoever. Normal residents were quite scared to move out of their city.

There are two modes of transportation. The first is rail, and the second is road. transport is disturbed by bandits. Leaving behind only reliable and safe rail transportation. So in these few days, the Iron Post train station is constantly crowded with people.

Most of the people were going out of the city. The numbers were increasing day by day. On the other hand, people coming to the city were reduced by half.

Especially as the situation of the bandit hunting mission spreads to other nearby cities. The wave of warriors coming to the city is drastically reduced.

Now the safety of the city rests on the shoulders of top bandit hunting teams. But they subdued weaker teams for whatever reason. But they didn't leave the city, unlike others.

So criticism about the top teams' actions was equally divided among the public. Some slandered the current state of the city as being due to action.

While some target the City Lord, at the end of the day, it's his responsibility to take care of the city. But he chose silence instead of solving the problem.

Just like that, time went on. It's been one week since Zack immersed himself in cultivation.

The following day,

Mr. Jonathan arrived at the iron post city. After stepping inside the city, he is surprised to see the situation right in front of him. Almost half of the shops were closed for certain reasons, except for a few reputed ones.

A quick glint flashed in his eyes; the changes were slightly higher than he had expected. Shaking his head, he tries to find an air cab. Since he knows the state of the city, he is not expecting to find the cab any sooner.

Then, after asking around for a couple of minutes, He finally found an air cab, but it was packed with people.

"These guys are looking for death." Mr. Jonathan muttered to himself. What happened to the law and order of the city? What is City Lord doing these days? A curiosity rose in his heart. He planned to look around the City Lord Mansion later.

Next, he stopped looking for cabs. He knew Zack's current whereabouts. The hotel is a walkable distance from the train station. So he directly walked towards the location.

Inside the hotel room,

I opened my eyes and stopped cultivating. I knew today that Mr. Jonathan would come to visit me. Apart from that, I didn't spend much time on outside affairs. I occasionally failed to keep update on my situation.

From his calls, I knew the iron post city was in turmoil. My uncle advised me to return immediately. But I declined. I told him about Uncle Jonathan. which is much more important to me than outside chaos.

My uncle also stopped persuading me after this. But there is also one more person who is constantly pestering me with phone calls. He is none other than Elder Thornton. It looks like he is not calm after the blood test.

After the blood test, I stopped picking up his calls. I suspect this must be infuriating to him. I am thinking about a small smile rising on my face. Let's see if he arranges any resources for me in the future.

I clearly told him that their resources were not helping me at all. But Elder Thornton is still insisting on finding out my abilities. His curiosity is further increased after the Star Tower Competition.

That's why I decided to not talk to him for a while. Just as I was thinking, I heard a calling bell sound.

I retracted my thoughts and walked towards the door. I guess it must be Mr. Jonathan.

"Creak," I opened the door.

Just as I expected, the guest is none other than Mr. Jonathan. I greeted him inside, then both of us sat in chairs opposite to each other.

Before speaking, Jonathan tries to probe Zack's strength. Like last time, a faint mist obstructed his probe. Because of his master, he didn't try to investigate. But this time, it's different. He really got permission from the master to act as Zack's guardian.

Slowly, he released his strength, and his sense increased exponentially.

Just as he tried to explore further, he quickly stopped.

Looking at Mr. Jonathan, I feel something strange. At the same time, his eyes were unusually sharp. At the same time, my prediction ability turned on automatically.

The next second, I felt sudden goosebumps. I realised Mr. Jonathan was probing my details. My heart skips a beat upon realising that.

Then I "coughed" to break the silence. Mr. Jonathan Suddenly, he retracted his thoughts in surprise. He looked at Zack in amazement.

What exactly is this? "How does he know?" Mr. Jonathan said in his heart. He is extremely surprised that it's impossible for someone to know his pleading. Even for some of the warriors at the same level as him, it's impossible to defend to some extent.

But he was really surprised by Zack. It looks like things were not as simple as they seemed. Zack is more talented than both his master and he had expected. In addition to lightning, it looks like Zach has spiritual talent. Maybe I'll be exceptional at soul technique.

Various thoughts run in his mind. He decided to note these points and report them to his master later. "There are lots of surprises waiting for me as his guardian." Mr. Jonathan said to himself.

Maybe in this time period, he can figure out Zack's advantages and disadvantages in his combat. His inputs could be valuable for his upcoming Crimson Hall event.

The master told him to protect Zack secretly. So he didn't plan to reveal this to Zack.

Next, seeing that Zack is looking at him. Mr. Jonathan didn't hide it. He said, "I was trying to access your strength." But it looks like you found out surprisingly before that. "

Hearing Mr. Jonathan's straightforward answer, I'm stunned. I knew he had just tried to learn my details right now. But I wasn't expecting him to accept it. Then again, I realised Mr. Jonathan is not as simple as it seems.

At first, I thought he was an elite warrior. But now I realise I overlooked one detail. Mr. Jonathan is working for my master. So he must be exceptionally talented.

I believe his strength might be higher than the elite level. As these thoughts rose in my heart, I firmly believed this guess was actually true.

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ Like him, I can't ask openly. It must be rude and disrespectful to him. Next, I recall memories of our previous conversation. I remembered Mr. Jonathan talked about gifts.

Then I looked at him and asked, "Mr. Jonathan, What about the gift? Have you brought it?"

Mr. Jonathan finally gets relief from this awkward silence. But before retrieving that thing, he asked back, "Yeah, the gift is with me." But I want to confirm one thing. Do you really want to do this bandit hunting mission? "

A quick glint flashes in my eyes. Uncle James told me that the city was in chaos. But fortunately, this hotel is quite a reputed one. Though it looks ordinary, the people behind this hotel were somewhat wealthy.

They didn't drive me from this place.

Next looking at Mr. Jonathan,

"My uncle told me about the situation here. I know the situation here is tense. But I'm really intense about doing this mission. I don't think there is any place better than this where you can legally kill someone. " After saying that, I added further,

"I'm tired of killing class monsters." I want to have a real life or death battle with warriors. This place is quite right for it. " I looked at his expression after voicing out my opinion.
