Ancient Tears BloodLine

Tier 7–Willow Peak City,

Elder Brody Roth went to May Ford Academy. A total mess has happened. Now the aftermath should be handled by the academy. The May Ford Academy is located quite close to all the main families. The academy is run by the rich and wealthy. Since it's a subsidiary force under Crimson Hall, no other forces in the nearby region trouble them much.

When the air car landed in front of the gates, Elder Brody stepped out in a hurry. He is impatient, like he has been summoned by his higher-ups. He walked past several white buildings after stepping inside the campus. If you don't look at the sign board, you will get confused. because every white building looked like a similar structure.

Students dressed in white academic uniforms can be seen all over the place. Various facilities were built for warriors with different elemental abilities. When a student comes across Elder Brody, they give him a slight bow in respect. Even the faculties were not different.

Seeing their attitude, he can confirm that the news has not reached everyone's ears. Soon he reached the faculty building. It's a five-floor white marble building. Elder used an elevator to reach the top floor.

May Ford Academy's dean's cabin is on the 5th floor.

"Creak," the door opens.

Elder Brody walked in slowly. He saw Dean was already waiting for him. Then he walked up to the opposite chair and sat in it.

Jefferson Small, a peak trainee warrior of the water element.He was a bald-headed old man in his sixties and was dressed in a white tuxedo. Upon seeing Brody, his dull mood worsens further. The incident that happened at Crimson Hall had already reached his ears.

"I'm tired of hearing various versions of that incident. I waited for you to tell me the actual truth. So now tell me what really happened." Dean Jefferson inquired in a calm tone.

Elder Brody nodded at him and began to explain the conversation that transpired between him and Mr. Casey. Then he told us about the interference of hostile forces. Without Grand Elder Chris's timely deterrence, it's impossible for him to walked out of that place peacefully.

Dean Jefferson touched his forehead. He looked quite depressed. "We were really bold this time," Dean said.

Hearing that Elder Brody remains silent, if not for these people, he wouldn't have gotten into this mess.

On the other hand, Dean fell into contemplation. He was hoping for Crimson Hall to give them some face. But from Elder Brody's words, he can see that Crimson Hall was decidedly tight-lipped about this matter. Not only that, every other force tried to get some pieces of information.

They were the first to confront Crimson Hall about this matter. Yet they met with failure. He should have held Elder Brody accountable for this failure. But he can't do that because the council elders forced him to take the task. And Elder Brody also made things clear before walking out of the place.

Looking at Elder Brody, Dean asked, "Have you already expected this result?"

The elderly body smiled helplessly and replied, "I knew about Mr. Casey's character. He was not short of resources or anything. As a subsidiary force, it's difficult to get into his eyes. In particular, we are asking him to reveal details about this high-profile competition. As a host, he will think twice before saying anything about the event."

Dean lets out a deep sigh.

He now understands that the council elders really underestimated Mr. Casey. Everyone thought that after their misadventure at the Star Tower competition, Crimson Hall would seek outside help to manage their reputation. But nothing like that sort of happened. Crimson Hall stayed low-key in preparation for the competition.

But now he realized that Crimson Hall didn't care about their failure in the first place. They want to regain their reputation by successfully hosting the competition.

At this time, Elder Brody asked, "Dean, what are your orders? Our Roth family is also going to be harassed by the other forces soon."

Then Dean retracted his thoughts and commented, "It's up to the council elders. I will quickly call for a meeting. Let's see what happens then."

Elder Brody nodded and then both of them talked about a few other topics. Later, Elder Brody went back to his cabin.

…

Iron Post City, EastWood Company

After long contemplation, Lewis Nelson couldn't come up with suitable answers. He stood up from the seat and decided to inform his grandfather. He thinks his grandfather knew something that he wasn't aware of.

The old man, Tucker Nelson, opened his eyes after sensing his grandson's presence. He is surprised by looking at Lewis' dull face. So he asked, "Did you find something?"

Lewis shakes his head in denial and places both files on his table. He begins to explain his conclusion. After hearing everything, Tucker Nelson was dumbfounded. He asked, "How is it possible?"

He couldn't believe there was no new team that was responsible for the black fist team's destruction. Mr. Tucker begins to read the files. Even though he has the utmost trust in his grandson. He decided to read it for himself.

On the other hand, Lewis doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. He expected his grandfather to say something, but in the end, he was also clueless. Then he waited for him.

10 minutes later,

Mr. Tucker's face turned ugly. He wanted to throw these files into the dustbin. Yet he doesn't want to lose his cool in front of his grandson.

"Coughed"

After coughing, he said with a helpless smile, "I wasted millions on these garbage files."

Lewis asked bluntly, "Grandfather, what are you planning?"

Lewis never thought the price of those two files would be millions. He knew the Black Fist team's issue was the current hot topic in this city. But he feels it's a waste to spend too much money on these files. In order not to hurt his feelings, he didn't say it openly.

When Tucker Nelson decided to reveal, he commented, "I wanted to befriend the Fire Sword Team."

Lewis was completely taken back, "What?"

"Grandfather, what happened to you? Our city was in chaos thanks to them. On top of that, who knows how many killings they were involved in? "

"If these matters come to light, then they will be punished very severely," Lewis voiced out the opinion in his heart.

He didn't think of the Fire Sword Team as good in any way. It's better not to get involved with them.

Tucker Nelson sighed, knowing his grandson had a strong opinion about the top teams. Because of  them, he had to leave and disband his bandit hunting team.

Tucker Nelson said, "The City Lord Mansion's people were unusually silent on this matter. Do you really believe that they don't know about the top teams? "

A slight glint flashes in Lewis's eyes.

He asked, "What do you mean?"

"The Fire Sword Team has a strong background. They are strong enough to make the city lord silent. "

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ "Using the current situation, if we provide some intelligence, it would be helpful for our company and we can expand our branches to other cities quickly," Tucker Nelson explained the reasoning behind all of his actions.

Still, Lewis wasn't able to accept this. Numerous warriors died because of them. It's fine not to get involved with them but to befriend them. Lewis immediately said, "No way!"

He further added, "The Fire Sword Team's actions reduced our city to such a state. It's good to provide them with intelligence because it's our job. But I don't feel it's good to engage with them. "

Tucker Nelson remained silent for a moment. Then he said, "Okay, we can talk about this later. Coming back to the Black Fist team's destruction As you said earlier, I didn't find any teams responsible for this. "

"What about the other four teams? They are strong enough to pose a threat to the Fire Sword Team. " Lewis said.

Tucker Nelson fell into contemplation. He had never thought about it before. Sometime ago, he thought the top five teams were all hand in glove with each other.

That's why they had never seen any severe clashes between them except a few skirmishes. But right now, after hearing things about insect forests, he furrowed his eyebrows.

The Fire Sword Team was staying at a camping site. They have so far not stepped inside the insect forests. Strangely, the other four teams also didn't enter the insect forest after learning about the Black Fist team.

Tucker knew there was a huge search operation going on inside the insect forest. No one is really giving thought to hunting bandits.

He also couldn't see through the other four teams' actions.

This is really bad.

He looked at his grandson and said, "We can't speculate without evidence. Especially for intelligence companies like us. We need more evidence before words come out of our mouth. "

"If anyone hears about the top four teams from us, then it would be bad for us. Like the Fire Sword Team, the other four teams are also not easy. "

Lewis nodded. He thought his grandfather was right on this. He was too hasty to jump to the conclusion. Like his grandfather said, they needed to find some evidence quickly.
