Ancient Tears BloodLine

Elder Thornton rubbed his temple in tiredness. Now, he has to make plan for solving future troubles.

Suddenly, he receives notification from his sci-fi watch. Elder Thornton frowns his eyebrow in dissatisfaction. The name flashes in his sci-fi watch is from troublesome person. Elder Thornton let out a sigh, then he straightened his back to answer the call.

As the call connected, a threatening voice rang in his ears, " Thornton, What have you done? Hansen building has suffered numerous damages because of your incompetence. Who is going to take responsibility for this? " Elder Jensen uttered in a vicious smile from the other side of the call.

"Harumph" Elder Thornton snorted immediately, "Old fox, Do you forget my old lesson? Or Do I need to teach you again?" Elder Thornton knew from today some snakes will show up their fangs. He already has a good plan in his mind.

The other side of the call, Elder Jensen face become distorted hearing that, "Thornton, This time, I'll see how long you can hold this chairman post." With that Elder Jensen ended the call.

Though, Elder Thornton's reply made him dissatisfied. But he have good opportunity in his hands. Using this current turmoil, he can cause upsurge among the management elders. " Then it will be matter of time before he get his hands on the chairman seat." He said to himself.

The other hand, Elder Thornton furrows his eyebrows as he began to contemplate. From this call, he can understand one or two things about Elder Jensen's intentions. "That guy may have plans in his heart to get my chairmanship position" He thought to himself.

To quell any dissatisfaction among the shareholders, He needs to take responsibility for this matter. Though, the opponent is an enemy. But the damage he caused so far is beyond his limit. Such as Reputation, economic, infrastructure damage. He thought of only one person who could save him from this situation.

So, he decided to call him again. Yesterday he already sent him a message regarding the incident. Hope he attends now, with sweating hands, he used his sci-fi wrist watch to contact him.

As the call connected, Elder Thornton expression become serious. There is already an isolation barrier is active in his cabin. So, he need not to worry about information leakage.

An extremely stern voice rang thunderous in his ears, "Capt. Thornton you did well."

Hearing that Elder Thornton's heart set on waves. Thank goodness, nothing happen to Zack. Otherwise, he wouldn't able to escape alive from this person.

Elder Thornton tries to calm heart and said, " Sir, I acted as per your order. But, I don't know what to do here after. So, I humbly seek your guidance."

The other hand, there is no reply for a moment then the voice sounded, "You don't need to worry about that. You will do same as before, Protect Zack in secret. As for the elite level assassin, he will be no more. "

Hearing that Elder Thornton's expression eased. He let go of huge worry in his heart. Even though he is an elite warrior but facing a same level professional assassin. He needs to have sense of measure in his heart. His immense experience as veteran person in the Army Federation taught him valuable lesson.

Elder Thornton smiled and answered, " Then, I'll do as per your order. "

From the other side of the call, the person finally said, " For your internal troubles, People from Army Federation will take care of it including building restoration. " Then he ended the call.

Hearing that Elder Thornton smiled happily. Because the other person is Zack's teacher, Sir. Lowell McClain. So, now he don't need to worry about Elder Jensen's antics. Elder Thornton sighed in relax.

…

The other hand, Sir. Lowell McClain reading reports in his palace. This report is much more detailed about what was happened in OUTPOST 1012.

" There is sign of Elite level assassin targeting several Seed candidates, now, which includes Zack. " Sir. Lowell McClain murmured. His tone is calm and gentle. There is no big waves due to this issue.

He knew Jonathan demolished several of their hideouts. He might be busy somewhere, So, no wonder that Assassin got lucky chance. Soon, he felt some discomfort in his heart. He needs to deter those forces even more severely. After sorting out, he smiled gently. He sent a message to Mr. James.

…

(Zack's Perspective)

At the same time after having some breakfast from the restaurant,

Zack and his Uncle, spend some time in the city. On their way back to campus, Suddenly, Mr. James received message from Sir. Lowell McClain. Seeing that he halted his footsteps.

I caught Uncle James's dazed expression, So in curiosity I asked, " Uncle, What is it?" He is starting at his wrist watch for some reason.

Hearing that Mr. James replied, " Ahem, Let's go back to Hansen campus first."

"Hmmm" I nodded at him.

After sometime later, both of them reached Hansen building. They headed towards Underground battle arena. Zack, still got Special permission.

Though they planned to let him fake his injury. Now, everything has changed due to yesterday's incident. Elder Thornton lied to outside world, that his own plan to save Zack from bounty hunters. So, he don't need to stay in underground arena forever.

But, still threat of Elite level assassin looming over Zack's head. Until, the threat is solved, Elder Thornton advised Zack to stay here and train openly.

A few minutes later, both of them arrived at Underground battle arena.

I scanned my special I.D and the door slid opens immediately,

Both of us stepped inside, Uncle James didn't speak along the way. From his demeanor, I knew matter is something important. The door closed automatically after we entered inside.

After stepping inside, Mr. James activated an isolated barrier. Then without looking at Zack. He began to decrypt the message. After decrypting it, he began to go through it. At first, Mr. James expression was solemn. Then as he reads halfway through there some excitement and joy after he finished it. He smiled happily.

Looking at my Uncle's face, My expression become weird. I waited for him to answer me patiently.

Uncle James then looked at me and answered, " It's a message from your teacher." Then he added, " He stated, he already aware of your incident. And he will take care of those enemies, you have to only focus on increasing your strength." Mr. James said with a smile.

Hearing that, I'm surprised and glad. Finally, I can spent my energy on cultivation. I don't need to worry about that elite. Then I looked at my Uncle and asked, "Uncle, Did my teacher stated anything else. Anything about resources?" I looked at him with expectation.

If I got strong lightning treasure, I can break through further without any worry.

The other hand, Mr. James stunned for a while, then he helplessly smiled and answered, " No, there is no mention of resources. He only talked about enemy." Mr. James then observed Zack's gloomy reaction and said," ahem, I know. You are worrying about your lightning cultivation progress; but, you have to understand. You already far surpassed your peers comparing to your age and power level."

Listening to Uncle's words there is some disappointment risen in my heart. But I have to be patient. They only knew my lightning cultivation's limitation here. And they don't know about my inheritance test. I rubbed my temples, and discared those depressing thoughts. After that, We had some good conversation. Uncle James left the campus for his work. I too went to training room after that.

...

Inside the Jensen family building,

Elder Jensen is taking with his peers about the Hansen incident. Instead of slandering the enemy, he is instigating some trouble. He is talking about incompetence of Elder Thornton. His thoughts were accepted by many of his colleague. Yet he don't know that he is going to hit iron plate sooner.

So, he decided to flare up this incident and plans to remove Elder Thornton from his post. As part of his plan, he contacted Elder Smith.

As the call connected, Elder smith smiled and said, "Ha..Ha..Ha..Jensen looks like your desire is ignited again"

Elder Smith knew about Elder Jensen's ambition. Earlier, He supported him indirectly. Due to Elder Thornton 's strength and support of the Army Fededation behind his back. Elder smith didn't dare to show his support openly.

But, now he has a chance. Because, Once Elder Jensen becomes Chariman. He can use his position to get many resources to his family. Thinking about that prospect, his heart beat in excitement.

"Elder Smith, I believe, You knew about the recent incident." Elder Jensen said with a ambitious smile on his face. He is smile is vicious.

"Ha...Ha..Ha.." Elder Smith let out a hearty laughter.

Elder Smith then commented, " Jensen, this time you must succeed"
