Ancient Tears BloodLine-Chapter 665 Manager Shaw’s visit

From MC's perspective:

After getting information from Jonathan, I returned to my room.

On the other hand, Jonathan has other thoughts. For the time being, there is no chance for the Parazam Hunter League to find the reason.

But if they want to dig deeper, they might find the involvement of the Crimson Hall's remnants with the late Henrick Palmer.

Jonathan frowned. There is always a method to stop them. But he doesn't want to spoil the current atmosphere of this Academy.

Zack is not going to stay here forever. Until the year-end conference, he wants this academy to be peaceful.

Then he left the academy and decided to stay in Viper City.

...

Steel City:

A few days passed,

Everything is going normal outside. But not inside the Steel City. The Palmer Family and his son have brought sleepless nights to other families operating under the Hunter League.

Manager Shaw tried to calm everyone. But those families wanted an answer. If this incident is left unsolved.

Their enemies might take advantage of this weakness.

Inside the Hunter League building, Manager Shaw avoided meeting everyone. Especially the elders associated with the families.

If someone comes up with a solution, he would be glad to hear it. On the other hand, everyone urges him to find the culprit.

A hint of gloominess flashes in his eyes. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝒃𝙣𝓸𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝓶

It's not that he is neglecting the issue. But no concrete intel has been found so far.

Beep!

Suddenly, a notification sound broke his thoughts.

He then saw someone asking to see him.

Seeing that he allowed the person to enter inside.

Then he saw one of the inner circle elders walk in.

Seeing that he frowned.

"What happened?"

"I have told you guys to wait?" Shaw said, looking at them.

The elder revealed a bitter smile before saying, "Manager, this is something important. We saw a suspicious person in front of the Palmer Family."

Hearing that Shaw eases his eyebrows before letting the elder speak.

The elder sighed in relief. He thought the manager wouldn't be willing to listen.

Then he said, "Manager, the suspicious person had contacted Henrick Palmer a few months back."

"We thought it wasn't an issue. But this person came here to ask for help. Someone powerful has eliminated their organization's family not long ago."

A quick gleam flashes in Shaw's eyes. At least this information is better than nothing.

Seeing that the manager is interested. The elder continued to speak.

10 minutes later,

"That's it," Shaw muttered to himself. If the information shared by the elder seems to be true.

Then the death of the Palmer Family's Head and son is connected to the Viper Academy. The Palmer Family's Sub-ordinate had also last visited Viper City before his death.

"Okay, you have done a good job," Shaw said.

The elder nodded before leaving the spot.

"Viper Academy uh?" Shaw muttered to himself.

He knows that everything might be connected to the student named Zack Lockwood. Those families were perhaps eliminated by him.

But he doesn't think that same person has carried out the assassination. The Palmer Family Head was found dead in the study room.

No one has seen any outsiders entering the room. So he doesn't think Zack Lockwood has done it.

But he thinks Viper Academy or Viper City is connected to the death. If he can find out the purpose of that Subordinate's visit to Viper City.

Then the truth will be revealed.

Not long after, the spies working in the Viper City can collect small intel.

Knowing that Manager Shaw's mood became bright. When he learned about Intel.

"Ha...Ha...Ha...," He let out a laugh.

"A small-town kid has inflicted damage to their hunter league. Though it's an act of revenge. But where is the face given to their Hunter League," He gritted his teeth in anger.

He doesn't like this feeling at all. Finally, he decided to visit the Viper Academy tomorrow and ask for an explanation.

Normally, there is no relation between the academies and the Hunter League. Both are working on different paths.

But this time it's unprecedented. The Viper Academy is not an ordinary academy. He knows it's a part of a big force like them.

So he has to visit in person to show respect. Otherwise, if people found out the Hunter League was interfering in the academy. It might bring further damage to their reputation.

This news was only known to a few elders. Because there is still a missing dot. As he guessed before, the warrior named Zack Lockwood was not involved in the assassination.

According to intel, that kid was in the academy during the time of the assassination. So someone must have done it on his behalf.

Apart from the academies, no other forces have the guts to hit their Hunter League. So he thinks someone from the Viper Academy has moved.

It must be either the Special Faction Head or people trained by the academy.

...

Viper Academy:

The following day,

Everything is happening as usual. Rebecca appears in her office and starts to look at the morning reports.

"Hmm," She raised her eyebrows as she noticed something strange.

"The Giant Tower, Eclipse Academy, and Red Moon Tower have completed their preparation for the year-end conference."

"The internal competition is now taking place in the White Palace. But there was no movement in the Silver Clouds Academy," She said to herself.

The information was collected by the spies. They reported that no major event is taking place in the Silver Clouds Academy.

She furrowed her eyebrows. Each academy has some kind of backing. They have an Army Federation.

Similarly, the Silver Clouds have made some connections with the major families in the inner post.

So she didn't take them lightly.

"There must be some reason," She said in her heart.

Suddenly,

She received a footage clip where she saw the Aircraft of the Hunter League nearing the academy space.

"What is going on?" She uttered in surprise.

She then allowed them to enter inside.

The Academy and the Hunter League won't mix. So looking at the aircraft, she is having a bad feeling about this situation.

Then she continued to look at the video. The aircraft then slowly landed on the ground.

But the next second, her expression changes drastically.

"What is he doing here?" She asked herself.

Swish!

She disappeared from the spot.

Outside,

Manager Shaw is looking at the surroundings after landing.

Swish!

In the next second, multiple figures appeared. They are the faction heads of the different halls.

Shaw's eyes flickered. His gaze swept across everyone including Carlos Kent. When his gaze fell on Carlos his eyes paused for a moment.

Before coming here he had done his work. So he knows who Carlos Kent is. Zack Lockwood is a member of the Special Faction. Carlos Kent is the Special Faction Head.

Swish!

Then Rebecca appeared.

Looking at Shaw. She felt some kind of conspiracy brewing.

"Manager Shaw, what made you come here?" She asked.

Not only she, but others are looking at this with confused expressions as well.

A cold glint flashes in Shaw's eyes before it disappears.

"Dean Rebecca, it's nice to meet you. But I'm here to discuss something serious. I hope we can discuss it inside," He said in a solemn tone.

Rebecca knitted her eyebrows further.

She then nodded her head.

"Good, I want this person to join as well," He pointed his fingers at Carlos Kent.

Rebecca was surprised. She looked at Carlos with a confused expression.

"Me?" Carlos Kent asked back.

"Yes, you are," Shaw insisted.

Others left the space. Dean Rebecca and Carlos went to the office building together with Shaw.

When they entered Dean Rebecca's cabin.

The atmosphere is a bit cold.

She can see that the manager is here with no good intentions. Carlos also smelled some kind of trouble.

No one deals with the Hunter League. Especially him. So he was surprised by this manager's words earlier.

After sitting down, the manager Shaw went straight to the point.

"Someone killed one of our inner circle members and his son," He said.

Hearing that expression of Rebecca and Carlos becomes dignified. They know about the inner circle members. They are like core members of any organization.

So what is it to do with their academy?

Manager Shaw saw through their thoughts. He frowned as well. Because he was suspicious about these 2 people.

But their reaction made him confused. Because they are not faking it. Before Rebecca could ask.

He added further, "When we started to trace back the details. We found it connected to a student named Zack Lockwood studying in this Academy."

"F@ck," Carlos cursed out loud. Then he quickly controlled his expression. He thought where was this going?

But he didn't expect his visit to be related to Zack Lockwood. Should he feel pity for this manager?

Carlos looked at the manager with a strange gaze.

Even Rebecca was stunned as well. Then a hint of anger appeared in her eyes. This time Zack had done something again without her knowledge.

She hates his method. But it can't be helped. The person behind him can take care of the Supreme elder. Forget about herself.

Then she looks at the manager with complex emotions in her eyes.
