Ancient Tears BloodLine - Chapter 1353
Capítulo 1353: Part 2: Flash news
Star University Territory,
The news about Zack Lockwood’s mission spread across the campus and the city as well. The forces were in shock once again.
It hadn’t been so long since many warriors disappeared from Star City. The locals didn’t know why it happened, but the strong warrior families knew what was going on.
The people who had disappeared turned out to be spies. The information was only known to the heads of the families.
If the news leaked outside, they would face huge consequences. Now, hearing about this news, they thought Star University had not stopped its actions.
They were going to remove the remaining spies. Unfortunately, these families didn’t have the courage to flee.
If Star University had wanted to punish them, they would have done so. They could only wait for orders from the Dean of Star University.
On the other hand, the news reached the ears of the Klein family and other warrior families. The Klein Family had always wanted to kill Zack Lockwood.
They had even used Purple Mark and Gold Mark Warriors for that, but they had failed in their plan.
Right now, they wanted to attack Zack Lockwood as well, but they were not stupid. The statement released by Star University was nothing but bait.
They could tell that Dean Jerome of Star University wanted to remove the rest of the spies as well, so they were not going to attack Zack Lockwood this time.
But that didn’t mean they were going to give up the opportunity. It was rare for their target, Zack Lockwood, to come outside.
If they missed this opportunity, then it would be difficult for them to eliminate their target. They knew about the rumors as well.
As per the rumor, the target could be a Silver Mark Warrior. So, they couldn’t delay their mission. If they delayed further, then Zack Lockwood would become stronger.
Then, it would become more difficult for them to target Zack Lockwood in the future. So, they decided to use underground killers and mercenaries to kill Zack Lockwood.
There were killers who would do anything for money. The Klein Family believed that someone would take up their mission.
Meanwhile,
Not only did the Klein Family have this thought, but other warrior families with ulterior motives thought about doing the same.
They were not going to attack Zack Lockwood directly.
They would use the killers as well.
The news had reached the ears of other universities. The Dark Shadow University and the Giant Tower University were already angry to begin with.
Now, they heard about this news from their spies. They knew this news could be bait, but they decided to use rare treasures to incite killers.
A few hours later,
Many veteran killers and criminals got the news. Warriors reaching the end of their lifespans decided to accept the mission.
But in return, they wanted treasures to increase their lifespan. The mission provider agreed to that.
He told them that as long as they could complete the mission, they could demand rare treasures as a reward.
There were other killers who were greedy for the treasures; they accepted the mission as well.
Shortly afterwards,
The killers left their hideouts and started going towards Red Ridge City. They were going to complete the mission.
Two hours later,
Red Ridge City began to receive new visitors one after another. The visitors appeared to be wanderers. Their strength lay between Gold Mark and Black Mark Warriors.
No Purple Mark Warriors appeared so far. Because of their arrival, the city was getting more spotlight. The hotels were getting booked.
The lone warriors might be killers, but they were rich. The old warriors who were close to dying had enormous wealth.
They didn’t mind spending their money, so they booked all the hotel rooms.
…
Trent Hotel
The Manager and staff were feeling the workload. They didn’t expect so many warriors to come. Many of them were new faces.
The Manager didn’t know why they were coming to their city. The Manager was more worried about Zack Lockwood.
If these people were to know about Zack Lockwood, then chaos could happen.
Zack Lockwood was famous. Many people might want to see him. The people could be from big forces.
He didn’t have any other choice than to inform the hotel owner about it. The Hotel Owner’s family was a big warrior family.
The Trent Family was also an allied family of the Storm Wind Faction.
When the news reached the higher-ups of the family, they were shocked to the core because the Head of the Family had just received the news.
But they didn’t expect Zack Lockwood to stay in their hotel in Red Ridge City.
They knew there were chances of chaos. A fight could break out. They knew about the disappearances of some of the warriors in Star City.
They also knew it was connected with the Dean of Star University.
Since Zack Lockwood was in Red Ridge City, the city would have to face trouble as well. They couldn’t even drive Zack Lockwood out of their hotel.
It would offend the Thunderflame Faction and Dean Jerome. More than that, they knew there was a threat to Zack Lockwood’s life.
The other factions didn’t like the Thunderflame Faction. They would use the opportunity to target Zack Lockwood.
Because of the rules and restrictions in Star University, many of their hands were tied. But in this city, they could use hidden arrows.
If something happened to Zack Lockwood, then the Trent Family would have to face the anger of the Thunderflame Faction.
They didn’t know whether anyone was protecting Zack Lockwood in secret. Still, they decided to send a team of strong warriors led by a Purple Mark Elder.
If the Faction Leader of the Storm Wind Faction learned about it, he would be stunned. But the Trent Family had no choice.
They had to protect Zack Lockwood as long as he stayed in the Trent Hotel.
The Hotel Manager got the news from the higher-ups. He was glad and sighed in relief.
