Carlos Kent was sitting back in his seat leisurely. He was lost in his thoughts. He is imagining receiving resources from the Giant Tower Headmaster.
Beep!
But a sudden notification sound jolted him awake.
"Damn it, who ruined my dream?" He cursed out, as he fixed his gaze on the communication watch.
But after looking at the contact na. He revealed a good smile on his face. The person who was calling was none other than Ernest Kirk.
When he attended the call, a panicking voice reached his ears.
"Faction Head, sothing is wrong here," Ernest Kirk sounded from the other end.
Carlos Kent wore a knowing smile on my face. To maintain the pretense, he asked, "Ernest, what happened?"
His voice sounded with a hint of concern.
"There are a lot of rogue warriors targeting us. I fear our mission details have been leaked," Ernest replied.
"What is Zack Lockwood doing?" He asked.
"Zack is staying back in the inn."
"Faction Head, what should we do now?" Ernest asked back in a hurry.
Carlos Kent's eyes glead with a twinkle. He doesn't want them to return because of fear.
"Don't worry, they won't attack students of our academy. Try to finish the mission as quickly as possible. Don't let the criminal get away," Carlos Kent instructed.
After saying that he ended the call. But he was surprised that Giant Tower's n were targeting them right away.
It's not been several hours since they arrived there. But their n showed their fangs. If the dean finds out, it would cause trouble for him.
Because it's too much of a coincidence. Carlos starts to tap his fingers on the desk. As the anxiety slowly starts to build up, he feels restless.
The earlier relaxed attitude was gone. After a few minutes, he decided to contact the Giant Tower Headmaster.
Giant Tower Academy:
In the eting room, the Giant Tower Headmaster and the intelligence departnt elder silently watched the video on holographic projection.
Beep!
The Giant Tower Headmaster frowned. He saw Carlos's na. He wonders why he is calling him in the middle of the operation.
"Carlos Kent, what do you want?"
"I have told you before. Your resources will reach your hands after the end of the operation," He said with a frown.
The intelligence departnt elder's expression becos pale with fright. The na "Carlos Kent" is too popular.
He was aware of the na of the Special Faction Elder. That person is a special elent warrior. And he guides the group of students who are special elent warriors in their academy.
His change in expression didn't go unnoticed under the headmaster's eyes.
"Harumph," The headmaster gave a cold snort.
If not for the sudden call, he wouldn't have slipped his tongue just now.
The elder shuddered, feeling the headmaster's gaze. He stood up from his seat and walked out imdiately.
It would be his death sentence if he hears the further conversation.
Seeing the person disappear. The Headmaster turned his attention to the call.
He asked, "Are you there?"
"My faction mber just inford . Several rogue warriors are targeting them right after they land in the city."
"Are you going to put a hat on ?"
Carlos Kent said with a dissatisfied voice.
The Headmaster squinted his eyes. He realized what happened. But it can't be helped. The task was open to all the rogue warriors.
Whoever completes the task, he will be rewarded with resources. Many rogue warriors are rushing forward to do it. So there is bound to be so competition.
Shaking his head he asked, "What do you want to say?"
"Just order your n to focus on the target, not on the other two. If three of them died, I can't explain to the dean," Carlos Kent's voice sounded from the other end of the call.
The Giant Headmaster replied, "Alright, I'll order them."
After saying that he ended the call. But a sneer appeared on his face. He just lied to him. He won't say anything to disturb the operation.
If the two mbers of Zack's left out, then it will expose their purpose. He doesn't want the lightning brat to slip away from his sight again.
...
BedRock City,
Ernest and Laverne believed Zack's words right now.
"What did he say?" Laverne asked.
Just now, Ernest ended his call with the Faction Head. But from Faction Head's words, he didn't get any assurance.
"Ernest?" Laverne called out the na.
Ernest's thoughts returned to reality. He looked at Laverne and said, "Trouble."
"What happened?" Laverne asked back.
"His head is not right. He wants us to complete the mission no matter what," Ernest answered.
The next mont, Laverne's face becos bloodless.
"What's wrong with him?"She said to herself. She even considered Carlos Kent as a role model. But right now, she doesn't know how to react.
They are in so kind of trouble. Then why does the faction head keep sticking to the mission?
Ernest noticed her expression. He didn't want to say sothing in front of her. The faction head didn't show any concern to them.
Which is troubling his mind?
"Laveren, let's go and inform Zack about this," Ernest said.
After taking a small detour, they walk back to the inn.
...
From MC's perspective:
Inside the room, I held my temple and pondered. I feel like I walked straight into a trap.
anwhile,
The two guardians hiding in the dark noticed the anomaly. Because there are still many rogue warriors who continue to walk by. Most of them never left their spot and continued to wait.
Both guardians looked at each other.
Before coming here, they thought it was just another normal day.
But right now, they are wondering what kind of mission the trio has taken. They can't make a judgnt call on this matter. So they decided to inform the dean as usual.
The dean has already ordered them to update the news from ti to ti. Both the guardians knew the dean would do sothing about it.
anwhile,
Creak~
The door opened. Ernest and Laverne both walked in.
"What happened?"
"Did you guys find sothing?" I asked.
I noticed their expressions are worse than before.
"Zack, you are right?"
"There is indeed sothing wrong with the rogue warriors. When we were outside. I saw many of them in the team."
"But all of their gazes are set on the inn. So even tried to follow us. But we took a detour to avoid them," Ernest said.
Hearing that I massaged my temple in confusion.
"Can we go back?" I asked.
I realized it's a waste of ti to speculate. It's better if we go and co back so other day for the mission.
But Ernest remained silent to my question.
Laverne said, "Zack, you don't know. Ernest spoke to our faction head. But he didn't want us to return."
"What did he say?" I asked.
Sigh~
Ernest let out a small sigh before starting to explain to .
At first, my expression was calm. But when I heard the faction head wanted us to apprehend the criminal.
"Carlos," I said in my heart. I was right. That guy was hiding sothing. I should talk to the dean about this mission.
But before that, we need to leave this city asap.
"Alright, we should leave right away. Once we get back to the academy, I'll talk to the dean," I said to them.
Ernest and Laverne were surprised to hear saying that.
Ernest asked, "Are you sure?"
Laverne looked at with hopeful eyes. I sighed inwardly. Looks like both of them are not confident as well.
Then I nodded my head in response. Ernest and Laverne left their rooms to pack their things.
At the sa ti, the guardians hiding in the shadows nodded their heads in approval. They already inford the dean about Zack's current situation.
But she has yet to make any decision.
...
The dean's office,
Dean Rebecca frowned, looking at the reports displayed on the screen. She received the information from Zack's guardian a few minutes ago.
She doesn't know whether Zack was in trouble or not. Even if he was in deep trouble, the guardians would take care of it.
So she decided to take so ti to verify sothing. When she went through the mission details. She didn't find anything related to the bedrock city.
Which ans the mission assigned to Zack was not an Academy mission. Her eyes flickered with a slight glint.
She understood what the mission was about. Carlos has assigned a private mission to them. As far as she knows this is not the style of Carlos Kent.
"What does he want?" She said to herself.
She knows Zack doesn't have purple essence. It doesn't make any sense to assign a mission to him.
She decides to contact him. But suddenly she stopped midway. She thought it was better to observe the situation further.
Because the guardians only speculated. So far nothing has happened. So she doesn't want to make quick judgnts.
Then she sent a ssage to both guardians to observe further. If there is trouble, they are free to take action.
The bedrock is an independent city. But that doesn't an they are weak. If there is sothing wrong, she won't hesitate to turn the city upside down.
