Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From MC's Perspective)

"You are safe, and that's enough for me," Remington said with a smile.

He forgot about the previous embarrassing moment and asked about something else.

"Mr. Zack, I guess that you are aware of recent happenings inside the city." So what are your plans now? "

"Are you going to continue with the same flow?" Remington inquired.

The current circumstances are totally different from a few weeks ago. So Reminginton knows that even if someone tries to fish in muddy water, then it would be the end of him.

Everyone is aiming for the bandit leader's head. Recalling the reward money, Reminton sighed.

On the other hand, I looked into his eyes. I'm wondering how to bring up the topic of inner areas. I don't know whether he will believe my intel or not.

After pondering for a moment, I replied, "I'm going to quit."

Mr. Remington wasn't surprised; he revealed a knowing smile on his face. This is what all sane warriors would do. So he had expected this answer from Zack.

"Cough, you made the right decision." In the forest, only Mid and Peak Trainee Warriors can survive."There is no place for ordinary warriors like us," Remington said with a sigh.

I twitched. He really thinks I'm a loser. But I didn't take it to heart. Using this opportunity, I commented, "Yeah, before going back to my home. I want to make some money. "

Remington's eyes gleamed with surprise. He looked at Zack for a moment. Right now, the adventurer can make money only by collecting the heads of bandits.

And just now, Zack has admitted that he didn't come across that many warriors. So how is he going to make money?

As the question rose in his heart, he immediately asked, "How?"

Hearing that, a small smile rose on my face. Then I said, "I spent quite some time collecting intel inside the forest. I even overheard the conversation of some strong teams. "

Remington was bewildered, and a look of understanding dawned upon him. He was surprised to see Zack take the same hobby as him.

Collecting intelligence is not a simple thing. More than strength, you need patience. Only in that way, can you collect intel without alerting others.

But he is still quite sceptical about Zack's intelligence report. So in order to verify, he asked, "Can you tell me some information?" So that I can know whether your claim is true or not. "

I nodded and revealed some information about the top teams. Hearing that, Reminginton remained silent for a moment. But his eyes literally lit up with surprise.

"As far as he knew, the four teams were in the outer area. I never knew they would move to the inner area this soon,"he said.

Then, after recalling something, he added further, "If your information is true, then it will fetch good money."

I smiled. I knew it because I obviously overheard the conversations from bandits in the inner area. Someone had already tipped off the inner area bandits while four teams were moving inside the outer area.

I breathed in relief. Fortunately, he didn't suspect me. It was normal to overhear the conversation of others if they had stayed near that person or group.

Since he is convinced now. Little by little, I will reveal some information. After gaining some clarity, I asked, "So how do I sell the information?"

Hearing that, Remington reveals a mysterious smile. There is only one place in this city that stands tall even after all this turmoil. It is the main place for buying and selling information.

"EastWood Company," Remington uttered.

Hearing that, I raised my eyebrows. I recalled our last meeting was about the EastWood Company.

And it is very shocking to hear that the company is still operating under this chaos. Which means the people behind that company have some background. And I also believe this company is credible.

On the other hand, Remington looked at Zack and asked, "Are you fine with EastWood Company?" Or do you want me to look for some other organisations?"

I retracted my thoughts after hearing his words. I'm quite intrigued by this Eastwood company. Last time, I wasn't interested in meeting them. Let's use this opportunity to see their methods.

I looked into Remington's eyes and answered, "I'm fine with Eastwood company." Let's visit them as soon as possible. "

Remington smiled and said, "Okay then, I'll call you tomorrow."

I nodded. Then we talked about a few more things before I exited the tent.

After bidding goodbye to him, I walked along the narrow road.

Time went on.

10 minutes later,

I spotted the huge city wall from a distance. This time, I noticed that the previously empty road was now clogged with people.It will take some time to reach the gate.

Soon, I stopped behind the long queue. As usual, the city lord's mansion didn't solve the problem of manpower shortage. It will now take another 10 minutes for screening.

Having no other choice, I chose to wait.

Time went on.

Soon, one by one, the queue will begin to decrease. Finally, it was my turn. I walked up to the city guard and showed my ID.

After scanning my ID, the city guard let me inside. Then I stroll towards the air-car platform. I halted my steps after feeling the fresh air of the city.

Unlike the previous gloomy atmosphere, the city is now completely different. I can see many of the shops that were previously closed are now being opened.

There is also a new wave of warriors. Many of them roam the city as a group. It gives me a strange feeling. These people come into the city, like it's some sort of tourist attraction.

They don't realise what dangers await them back in the insect forest. Everyone will come to know the true horror when reality hits their face.

Then, retracting my gaze from them, I proceeded to walk towards the air car platform. A small smile rose on my face as I saw a familiar driver.

After recognising him, I immediately walked towards the driver, said, "Hi, there"

The middle-aged person's eyes lit up with surprise as he looked at me.

"Mr. Zack, how have you been?" He immediately asked.

Before addressing him, I let out a small laugh.

"I'm doing fine," I said.

After patting his shoulder, I hopped into the air car. The driver smiled back and didn't say anything. He sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

Seeing that, I told him my destination. It's the same old hotel. I hope they didn't shut it down.

WHIZZ

The air car rose from the platform and flew towards the destination. Through the window, I observed the areas of the city. The old deserted streets are now filled with people.

Apart from a few abandoned streets, most of the places have now returned to normal. This is really surprising. A few weeks ago, half of the city was deserted.

Now it's bursting with people. Such a scene brought a bright sense of relief to my heart. Even though the City Lord is not acting up, at least these residences didn't give up on this city.

The image of Mr. Jonathan flashes before my eyes.

"I hope he puts an end to this problem," I muttered to myself. After fleeing past other air vehicles, the air car finally reaches the destination a few minutes later.

My eyes immediately focused on the hotel. Seeing the familiar receptionist at the front office I smiled in relief.

This hotel is one of the few least expensive hotels in the city. When the air car landed on the platform, I stepped out of it. After paying the amount, I talked with the driver for a few minutes.

I asked him about the recent events that have happened inside the city. Especially given the upheaval that followed the mission announcement.I didn't entirely believe him. Most of his words were just hearsay.

Seeing that another customer had walked in, I bid goodbye to the driver before walking back to the hotel.

In a few breaths, I reached the front office. After an inquiry about the hotel rooms, I booked the cheapest room for two days. I don't know when Mr. Jonathan will come back.

So I booked for one extra day. If he comes back in time, then we will return to the red stone city together.

After getting the key from the receptionist, I took the lift to reach my room. It's been several weeks since I felt safe.

From the beginning of the mission to now, I didn't let down my guard. even though I knew Mr. Jonathan was guarding me in secret.

I believe it will take some time for me to get back to normal. The first thing I did after entering my room was lie down on my bed.

The whole comforting feeling washed over me. It made me let down my guard completely. I don't know what happened.

But I fell asleep the next moment.

Time went on.

I don't know how long it has been. I slowly opened my eyes.
