Ancient Tears BloodLine - Chapter 249

(From MC Perspective)

At Star Tower’s Guest House,

After the admin left, I began to look around the house. I’m obviously going to practice here. Hopefully there won’t be any secret cameras to spy on me here. It may sound silly, but I’m actually going to check nooks and corners around this house.

I started by checking my bedroom first. The room has a medium sized space. Which is enough for one king size bed, few furniture and cupboards. It’s amazing, this guest house is not at all inferior to any luxurious inn.

Two hours later,

I breathed in relief as I haven’t found anything suspicious so far. So, the Star Tower can be considered credible. Then suddenly I thought about Elder Thornton and Mr. Jonathan. Next moment, I sent messages to their contact regarding my accommodation here.

Then I contacted Uncle James. It’s been a long time since I called him live. These days he has been communicating with me through voice notes.

As the call connected a holographic image of his face appeared.

“Zack, How is the situation out there?” Mr. James’ anxious voice rang in his ears.

“Hmmm”

I said, “Uncle You don’t know about it. I thought Mr. Arthur already told you something about it.”

My Uncle is working in a federation, it’s hard to believe he doesn’t know anything.

Mr. James smiled wryly hearing that. Though he knew some information. Which is nothing compared to what’s happening around the ground.

He then answered, “Arthur is busy handling your campus affairs. And he will definitely tell me something if had some information in his hands.”

Hearing that I nodded and said, “I can’t talk about the general situation. But my situation here is quite safe.” Then I informed him about the Elder Thornton’s meeting with Star Tower Management.

Mr. James listened to his words in silence, after sometime he answered, “Compared to others your situation is quite good. You can rest assured, Stay as long as you want in that city. If you need some money, I can send you asap.”

I shook my head and said, “Uncle, I received a reward from Star Tower which included some Credit Amounts. So, You don’t have to pressure yourself at my expense.”

Then I added, “How is Granny Park?”

The other hand, Mr. James doesn’t know how to answer his last question.

Seeing his long silence made me feel bad.

“Uncle?” I called out to him.

Mr. James collected his thoughts and said in a grimm tone, ” Ms. Park is hospitalized due to sudden illness.” Deep down he doesn’t want to reveal it. But he treated Zack like a mature kid. So, he thought it’s better to tell him sooner than later.

“What?” I stood up from my seat.

My heartbeat accelerates due to panic. Granny, She is a bit old but she is also a warrior. How come she became sick all of a sudden.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

“Uncle, How is she now?” I immediately thought about it.

Mr. James commented, “She is doing fine now. But her vitality is a little weak. It will take a few months to recover.”

I breathed in relief hearing that.

Mr. James added further, “Zack, She is fine now. You don’t have to worry about it. You can visit her later.”

I calmed down my nerves listening to his words. I don’t know why these few months have been bad. One after another unfavorable situation surrounds me. I really want some peace of mind at this moment.

I sighed, my mood was a little bit low, It’s hard to believe Granny got sick. I plan to sleep for a while to calm down my mind.

…

At Crimson Hall,

The First Elder is discussing with the HeadMaster, ” What about their current situation?”

Right now, other than two no one is beside them. Even the righteous second Elder is nowhere to be seen around them now.

The HeadMaster gulped down his saliva in nervousness. He thought it would be a piece of cake for their team to complete the mission. But the situation is worse than they thought. Even the Star Tower is facing trouble.

When he heard the elder’s words, he collected his thoughts and answered, ” Elder, Currently our men are hiding at..”

Before he could say anything, the First Elder glanced at him.

Seeing that the Head Master understood the meaning behind the gaze, he decisively answered, “Ahem, Elder Our men were currently stationed at the Northern border. They have been asking us whether to proceed or not.”

Hearing that the first elder fell into deep thought. He commented, “What about our allies? How long will it take their team to reach the northern border?”

“Sigh, Elder, That’s one of the reasons our team is getting impatient now. They really want to go inside without them ” The HeadMaster said with a wry smile on his face.

Then suddenly he thought about something, then he added, “Elder, what about our students? Their parents have been pressuring us to protect them.” He glanced at the first elder for answers who has been maintaining a nonchalant attitude from the beginning.

Hearing that the first elder knitted his eyebrow then he commented, “For now, tell those kids to stay inside the city. Transfer some amount to their account. Once the team deals with the mission, they can go and secure them.”

The other hand, the First Elder is contemplating. He knew about the situation that Star Tower is facing. If he doesn’t help them to handle some pressure, there is some possibility that Crimson Hall might face some retaliation.

He pondered to find a suitable solution. if he doesn’t help them now then the consequences would be disastrous.

Then he glanced at the Head Master and answered, “Tell our men to wait for a while. In the meantime I will contact our allies to know about their situation.”

The Headmaster sighed in relief hearing that.
