Ancient Tears BloodLine

A person is satisfied after reading the reports. The report says that the infrastructure built up at odyssey monster zone is going smoothly. The person is none other than First Elder Casey himself.

He was happy that his plan is going forward without much interruption. Though there are some outside noises like pressure exerted from the other forces. But so far he has managed to hold them down.

When the infrastructure is built up is finished, then they have to take the next step to modify the monster zone according to his plan. So far no one is allowed to step inside the monster zone except a few officials from both sides.

It was all done to keep secrecy. If someone leaks out the name of the monsters to the outside world. Then his whole plan will jeopardize.

Beep!

When he was lost in his thoughts he heard the notification sound from a sci-fi watch. Seeing that it was from the useless headmaster, his face frowns a little bit.

He recalled the last time that guy wanted to learn about the odyssey monster zone. But he denied his interference and didn\'t reveal anything to him.

He felt the headmaster should stick to his job and do what he says. He also recalled he had instructed the headmaster to collect the student\'s progression reports.

When he realised this he decided to meet him.

A few minutes later,

"Creak" the door opens.

The headmaster walked into the room holding reports in his hands. He carefully noticed the expression of another party.

Seeing that, the First Elder is calm and composed. He breathed in relief.

Then he took a step forward to place the reports on the table.

On the other hand, First Elder Casey stopped working after noticing his presence. Then he cast a glance at the reports on his table.

But before he could say anything he heard the headmaster say, "First Elder, I have something to report."

"Hmmm," First Elder Casey raised his eyebrows in surprise and then nodded at him.

Receiving the signal, the headmaster slowly started to explain. He decided to include spy reports and red stone city\'s news articles.

First Elder quickly interested after knowing that it\'s about little Hansen institute. "It has been a few months and I have almost forgotten about that kid," He thought to himself.

He doesn\'t know how to react to this. Because after his failure at the star tower trial, he completely dedicated himself to the crimson hall competition. He handed over other miscellaneous activists to the headmaster in front of him.

5 minutes later,

When the headmaster finished his words, a cold glint flashed into his eyes.

"Rumours forced them to act. Otherwise, the media houses will plummet their reputation further," First Elder Casey said with a smile.

"Small Competition ah?" First Elder Casey sneered inwardly.

He knows that this move was done to appease the people of red stone city. But what he was not interested in was Hansen institute rather certain genius kid. "Zack Lockwood," He mumbled under his breath.

If the intel reports were true then that kid Zack was not in Hansen Institute at this moment. So where does he go? Did the people from Hansen institute hide him somewhere?

In the next second, a ruthless glint flashes into his eyes.

"It doesn\'t matter where he is right now?"

"As long as he participates in our competition he will die for sure," He said with an evil grin on his face.

He didn\'t forget that his failure started with that kid. If he had died in the first place, then the confrontation with the start tower wouldn\'t have happened in the end.

When he recalled past events, it only left bitter memories in his mind. At this moment he made a firm decision in his heart.

He looked at the headmaster in front of him with a stern gaze. Which made the headmaster shudder.

But in his mind, he thought about the red stone city. Some time ago, a new city lord was appointed to Red Stone City. If his memory serves him right, the new city lord is connected to the Army Federation. So most likely he is from other forces.

When he realised that a beautiful plan hatched in his mind. He knows that few elders behind the Hansen Institute have a strong connection to the Army Federation.

On top of it, the former city lord of their city was not on good terms with the crimson hall.

But now he has a golden opportunity, the next second he looked at the trembling headmaster and said, "I want to meet the new city lord of red stone city asap."

Hearing that, the headmaster\'s eyes gleamed with delight.

He bowed and replied, "Don\'t worry Elder, I will arrange for the meeting."

After saying that he immediately left the cabin.

Looking at his disappearing back, First Elder snorted coldly, "Harumph"

Even if the head masted does his work diligently, he still won\'t reveal anything about the completion to him.

The next second, he looked at the reports.

His good plan needs cooperation from the new city lord. From the headmaster\'s mouth, he came to know that the Hansen Institute\'s small tournament was only limited to their city. The registration time is two weeks.

He needs to act before the registration is implemented.

First Elder Casey decided to send their crimson hall warriors to participate in that competition. He knows other than that kid Zack, there is no strong one that exists there.

Using this golden opportunity, he decided to humiliate them greatly. If their crimson hall warriors cripple their Hansen students, in one way or another they will be forced to seek help from that kid.

When that kid dares to come out, then he will use killers to remove him immediately. Even if he doesn\'t come out, he will die inside the odyssey monster zone.

First Elder Casey knows not only him, there are still other forces who don\'t want that kid alive.

The next second, he decided to read the progression reports.

A few hours later,

"Creak" the door opens.

The headmaster walked into the room again. But this time he has an excited expression on his face. Like he had accomplished something.

By this time, First Elder Casey also finished reading the reports. He already thought of names of warriors that he is going to send.

"What happened?" He inquired.

Hearing that, the headmaster said with a smile, "First Elder, when I mentioned crimson hall. He immediately agrees to meet you."

A quick glint flashes into his eyes.

But this time he is certain that the new city lord is an opportunistic dog. As long as crimson hall offers something, the new city lord will be sure to help.

The next second, he asked, "Bob Williamson"

"Austin Boyer"

"Bradley Reese"

"Ella Downs"

and "Sallie Mills"

"Where are these people right now?"

At the same time, the headmaster was surprised to hear the familiar names. These 5 students were the same people who had previously participated in that star tower trial.

He doesn\'t know whether the elder knows about this.

The next second he decided to respond.

"Elder, All of them were diligently training in our academy for the competition," he replied.

"Oh," First Elder was pleased to hear that. Because he knows that 5 of them were star tower participants.

They showed a good performance at the start tower trial. But it was nothing in front of that kid. The world remembers the winners not runner-ups like 5 of them.

He felt this was a good opportunity for 5 of them to appear in front of the world. This time they can redeem the crimson hall\'s prestige.

There is one more reason that he chose these 5 people as their cultivation base already reached the Peak of Special Trainee.

They are one step away from reaching the Trainee Warrior level. To survive in the odyssey monster zone, they need to have at least a trainee-level base.

He hopes that using this opportunity at least one of them to get a breakthrough.

After gaining some clarity, he told the headmaster about his detailed plan.

2 minutes later,

"Instruct 5 of them not to go anywhere," He said.

"Once I confirm the deal with the new city lord. Then you will arrange for them to participate in that small competition," First Elder Casey added further.

On the other hand, the headmaster was shocked to the core. He never thought that situation will develop into this. But soon he recovered himself and nodded at the elder.

Just as he walked out of the cabin, he breathed in relief. He decided to inform the students first not to leave the city for the time being.

Soon after getting into his office, he instructed the assistant to call those 5 students to his cabin. He then walks back to his chair to sit. Like First Elder said, he is also satisfied with their progress so far.

But unfortunately, the kid Darius Case died mysteriously. Otherwise, the number would be 6 rather than 5.
