Chapter 371 Aaron Powell's Decision

While Zack was discussing with his home, a sudden news release from Iron Post City caused turbulent waves among the masses.

[A Trainee Warrior, not an adventurer team, earned the reward of 1 billion credit points]

This time the news was released by the City Lord, Aaron Powell, himself. This news swept the entire city.

From normal residents to powerful warriors, there is only one thing on their mind. which is that their City Lord is alive and well. For the past few months, there has been no word from him, and people have gradually stopped expecting his presence.

Especially when the first migration took place. They didn't care about the City Lord Mansion. It's due to their irresponsibility that the city was reduced to such a state. The city suffers from crippling economic conditions inside and the scourge of banditry from outside.

But now, after hearing the information from City Lord Aaron Powell himself, people don't know how to react. It's not easy to erase the old scares. Especially the victims, for this turned out to be only bitter smiles on their faces.

Many things could have been changed if the city lord chose to show up earlier. A lot of ugly things could have been avoided. But on the other hand, the media houses were again in a frenzy.

Unlike the masses and victims, the media houses now have great content because of City Lord Aaron Powell's public appearance.

Now they have an opportunity to ask many questions, mainly about the scourge of banditry in the insect forest. which even a new wave of warriors finds it difficult to break down.

It's not a secret that Peak Trainee bandits were coming down in numbers from the inner area. Their main motive is to hunt down the warriors who trespass their safe haven.

This news is also known by media houses. So they are wondering about the thoughts of City Lord Aaron Powell this time.

Main Hall-City Lord Mansion,

At this time, City Lord Aaron Powell controlled half of his injuries. With his current condition, he can't be involved in any fight. But it's enough to walk around and talk with people.

After learning from the superior that someone would take care of Soren, he decided to show up before the public. But who would have thought such unexpected new developments would take place?

Even before he made his public appearance, he heard good news from Lawrence.

Right now, he is sitting in the main seat of the hall. In front of him, Manager Lawrence stood quietly. Surprisingly, there were two others standing beside him. The female staff and the accountant, Ms. Melinda,

They just now released the news under the name of City Lord. which is equivalent to making a public appearance. The atmosphere is quite solemn at this moment.

Manager Lawrence was sweating profusely. He didn't dare take a glance at the City Lord.

Seeing his appearance, Ms. Melinda sneered inside, "This guy finally hit an iron plate." She couldn't help but feel joy upon seeing Lawrence's dog-beaten expression.

She expected that manager Lawrence's actions might receive backlash from the young man's family. But surprisingly, it caused dissatisfaction with City Lord Aaron.

She takes a small peek at the City Lord 's expression before turning back to her old self.

The City Lord Aaron was lost in thought. More than a reward, his mind is occupied with bandit boss Soren now. There was no update from the superior. which made him wrinkle his eyebrows in confusion.

After some thought, he decided it was best not to think about it any longer. His superior also advised him to stay away from it and instructed him to take care of the city. Thinking about his city, he couldn't help but feel a tinge of guilt.

His injury and thirst for revenge made him unable to take care of the city. If not for his injury, the city wouldn't have been reduced to such a state. Now, there is no point in overthinking about it. So hereafter, Aaron made up his mind to govern the city properly.

Then, retracting his thoughts, he glanced at the people in front of him. The reason they were here is because he was intrigued by the young man's identity. He actually decided to commission this young man to remove the bandit scourge as soon as possible.

That young man had proved that one strong warrior is better than the average team. But sadly, the young man had already left this city. Otherwise, he would have discussed the deal with him.

Suddenly, he glanced at the accountant and asked, "Melinda, do you have that young man's contact number?"

From their words, Aaron had already learned about the situation. He also knew Melinda had contacted that young man before.

On the other hand, Ms.Melinda stepped forward and answered, "My Lord, I do have his contact number." Her voice was sweet and gentle.

Aaron Powell nodded at her.

As a City Lord, he can track down this person with ease. But the problem is the young man's attitude before leaving. From Melinda's statement, it is clear that the young man didn't want his identity to be known to the public.

That is why he did not name the young man in the press release.

SIGH

He let out a sigh, realising that his current actions would increase the dissatisfaction of the young man. But it can't be helped. Earlier, he made up his mind to make a public appearance. If he makes an appearance, the media houses will be sure to question the reward winner.

So, in order to save his face and avoid an embarrassing situation, he allowed the news to be released. In this way, his public appearance won't be hated by people, because they will be more curious about that young man's identity.

And the media houses will be more focused on him. Meanwhile, he can avoid the direct brunt of harsh criticism. That young man's name is Zack, right? His mouth was raised in a slight arc. His achievements came in a timely manner, which helped him greatly.

But it's a pity that Zack was not in this city.

Seeing that, the City Lord was again lost in his thoughts. Three of them don't know what to do. He is taking his time to ask questions one by one.

Amongst three of them, one person is more uncomfortable. That person is the manager, Lawrence. At that moment, he didn't make any noise. But various thoughts were running through his mind.

"Damn it, I didn't expect the lord to appear abruptly," he thought to himself.

Earlier, he knew that the lord was recovering from his injury. So he assumed that he wouldn't interfere with outside matters as usual. Apart from making some crucial decisions, the lord wasn't involved in city affairs that much.

He also assumed the lord would not make a public appearance until he had recovered from his injury.But unfortunately, everything went against his assumptions.

The Lord decided to show up just after he released the news about the 1 billion reward. The lord didn't say anything, but he knows this is going to be trouble. The Lord is thoroughly dissatisfied with his unverified actions.

His mind is racing to find some solutions. Before the lord questions him, he needs to come up with some answers. Right now, he doesn't know what the lord is up to next.

He can only bite his nails and wait for the lord to question him.

The only person without any worry is the female staff, who inspect Zack's collections on that day.

The City Lord, Aaron Powell, realised that three of them were waiting for his instructions. Next, he told the three of them to leave. Surprisingly, he didn't reprimand Lawrence right now; he allowed him to leave with them as well.

Seeing the disappearing backs of three of them, he decided to go to the study room. He finally gave up the thought of contacting the young man, Zack, right now. He believes that media houses will find out his identity in one way or another.

because some media houses have the support of giants behind them. If this current news gains enough attention from the people, then soon the identity of the young man will come to light.

His lips curved into a gentle arc before he walked back to the study room.

...

Hansen's Campus-Red Stone City,

Meeting hall,

Elder Thornton is having a conversation with Arthur. Currently, they are discussing about Zack. These days, many people are camping outside the gate of Hansen's campus. Many of them were media houses and a few were spies from hostile forces.

Elder Thornton is feeling a headache. Without Zack, he wouldn't be able to make some crucial decisions. The talented young warriors of Iron Post City now want to fight against Zack Lockwood.

In this situation, he is totally perplexed. So he looked at Arthur. He hoped that Arthur would speak with his friend about it.

Elder Thornton knows as long as James helps with their current situation. Their current troubles will be resolved in a matter of time. It's because Zack had never denied his uncle's words.

On the other hand, Mr. Arthur doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. He already spoke with his friend James about their issue. His friend agreed to help them as much as possible.

But he knows James won't go against Zack's wishes. So, their current situation is quite tricky.
