The iron post city,
Wooden house - insect forest,
Seeing that bandit boss Soren's health condition deteriorating, Mr. Jonathan decided to end this quickly. He had tortured him enough these days.
He wondered, how did Soren find this isolated place?
Because Mr. Jonathan didn't co across the swarm of insect bugs in this place. If it's one day then it's fine, but he has spent more than one day here yet there is no sign of bugs.
Which made him more confused. Finally, Mr. Jonathan strongly feels that sothing is wrong with this place. He decided to search this entire place before leaving.
The next second, he walked up to bandit boss Soren. Feeling his presence, Soren raised his head and asked, "What are you doing?"
Mr. Jonathan replied with a smile, "Well, your suffering ends here." After saying that he arrived in front of Soren and stomped at his chest.
PFFF
Soren spilled a large amount of blood from his mouth. His eyes were wide open, he lowered his head to look at his chest.
Looking at the wide hole in his chest, Soren spurted blood again. His vitality drops to the bottom and breathes his last breath a few seconds later.
Then Mr. Jonathan proceeded to dispose of the corpse. He decided to erase the corpse. So that no one can know, Soren had died here.
1 hour later,
Mr. Jonathan is standing in front of a strange tree. He has searched the nook and corner of Soren's safe haven. So far he didn't find any suspicious things except this tree.
Because in front of him there is a purple shade tree. Seeing the purple color at first, he thought this tree might be a mutant class monster.
But after careful checking, he learned that this tree is ordinary but its color is different. He has a vague feeling that this purple tree provides string deterrence to insect bugs and other nearby monsters.
This was his assumption but to confirm it. He decided to collect so samples. Starting from soil samples, root samples, and even so leaves.
Then he left several minutes later.
Now, his work is done. He decided to et Zack next. Before doing that he decided to make a phone call to his master after getting out of this place.
His master had a desire to co to this small outer post to watch Zack's competition. Mr. Jonathan doesn't know whether his master's decision has changed or not. So he didn't want to waste any more ti here. He increased his speed the next second.
At this sa ti, there is also one silhouette rushing towards the inner through a secret route. He is none other than Brody Roth. He has no idea that the person he wants to et has already disappeared from this world.
In order not to raise any eyebrows. Mr. Jonathan didn't touch Soren's n. He left them alive purposely. They were still guarding Soren's room 24/7.
Several hours later,
When Mr. Jonathan exited the insect forest, it was already nightti. He followed his way back to the iron post city along with others. He found the activities of warriors hadn't reduced at all.
Clashes were still going on between warriors and bandits. But he knows that at one point, those bandits will realize that their boss is no more.
By that ti, the scourge of banditry will disappear automatically. Then he successfully entered the city a few minutes later. The first thing he did was book a hotel room.
He didn't leave right away to et Zack. There are still a lot of things he has to do here. Then after getting inside the hotel room, he reported everything to his master via phone call.
But what made him speechless was, that he learned that his master was already in this small outer post. He had black lines on his forehead after hearing that. He knows, that if the master's traces were leaked, then it will lead to a huge disaster.
After eting with Zack, he decided to join his master. His master had already sent his address. Mr. Jonathan gave a lightning essence pearl to Zack. But he has one more thing in his hands.
His master reminded him again to hand over the thing to Zack without fail.
The following day,
After checking out the hotel, Mr. Jonathan hid from others and decided to see the city lord.
When he saw Aaron Powell last ti he was recovering from injury. Mr. Jonathan wanted to see what he was doing right now. And also he wants to see whether he has any motive to hurt Zack.
Because last night he learned so great news. The city lord published Zack's achievent without ntioning his na. But he knows that so forces will show so interest to know about Zack.
If the City Lord leaked Zack's na to others, then it will be easier for others to narrow down the search. Then it will matter for ti before they learn Zack is the sa person who ranked No.1 in the star tower rankings.
A cold glint flashes into Mr. Jonathan's eyes.
He spoke with the City Lord's superior. But his superior doesn't know about the connection between him and Zack. So Mr. Jonathan decided to remind Aaron Powell before leaving this city.
City Lord Mansion,
At the eting hall, the city lord is conversing with his manager Lawrence.
"Lord, the reporters were asking about that kid again." Manager Lawrence said in a solemn tone.
At first, Lawrence released the information because he believed that dia houses will find Zack's identity. But so far none of them can find him.
And now in return, they expect the city lord mansion to reveal the information. He raised his eyebrows in frustration.
He is the second most answerable person after the city lord. So the reporters won't leave him for a second If he didn't answer their questions.
The atmosphere was silent for a mont.
Aaron Powell listened to Lawrence's words without many expressions on his face. His mind was occupied with so other matter. The death toll of warriors on their side increased quite drastically.
In one day more than 100 warriors died. This number is quite astounding. Fearing public criticism, Aaron Powell was quite hesitant about revealing the news.
He is pondering whether to ask superiors about it.
Seeing the city lord spacing out, manager Lawrence called out, "Lord?"
Hearing that Aaron Powell retracted his thoughts and looked at the manager.
At this ti both of them weren't aware that another person ca into the hall without alerting them.
Mr. Jonathan raised his eyebrows in surprise after looking at the healthy city lord. Then he chooses to overhear their conversations silently.
Aaron Powell asked, "What is it? Lawrence"
Feeling the cold gaze, manager Lawrence's heart skips a beat. He realized that the city lord is brooding about so other thing. Manager Lawrence swallowed his saliva in fear.
Then he replied, "Lord, what to do with those reporters?"
"Should I reveal that Kid's na to them?"
When finished saying those words, he creeped out all of sudden. For a second, he felt death was near him.
He raised his head to et the city lord's eyes. "Is it lord?" His heart was set on storms. Other than the city lord there is no one here. And their city lord is the strongest presence in this city.
So he did not doubt that the city lord was dissatisfied with his words.
On the other hand, Aaron Powell pondered.
When it cos to a young man nad Zack. He doesn't know how to decide. The young man strongly requested them to not reveal his identity.
But if his superior requests the information, Aaron Powell doesn't know what to do then.
SIGH
After letting out a deep sigh, he answered, "Just tell them considering the safety of the young man in mind. The city lord mansion is not going to reveal his identity." His answer was simple and plain.
The city lord doesn't know that his answer just saved him from a lot of beatings.
Manager Lawrence was not surprised by the answer. He knows about City Lord with his caring personality, he won't offend the young man without knowing his background.
Knowing that lord was not in a good mood. Manager Lawrence decided to leave this place.
After seeing his disappearing back, Aaron Powell decided to leave the hall.
But before he could do that he felt trendous pressure. The next second, he completely bent down.
Mr. Jonathan showed so restraint, otherwise, Aaron would have crashed to the ground.
A sudden change in situation caught him off guard. Aaron Powell's mind went blank for a mont. Before Aaron could open his mouth, he heard a voice from behind.
"You did the right thing by not revealing Zack's identity. I hope you will do the sa in the future," after saying that Mr.Jonathan disappeared from the place.
The next second, Aaron Powell broke out in cold sweat. He imdiately turned around to look for the person. But unfortunately, he didn't feel any presence. Then a horrible realization struck his mind all of a sudden.
