Ancient Tears BloodLine



Giant Tower:

eaglesnovɐ1,сoМ An urgent meeting was conveyed in a short time. The Giant Tower Head and other elders were seated inside the conference room. 

The elder from the intelligence department contacted the Head and talked to him about Zack Lockwood. 

But the Head can't make a unanimous decision. Consent has to be reached in this quick meeting. .

Inside the conference room,

Seeing that everyone is gathered. The head looked at everyone. 

"I don't want to talk long. The Special element seed, Zack Lockwood was spotted in the Viper City. As per intel, he is going out for a mission."

"I want to ask you. Are there any of our men lurking near Viper City?" He said.

Gasp!

The elders exclaimed in surprise. They have been waiting for this exact news ever since the student exchange meeting ended.

Now hearing the head's words. They began to murmur. There are many undercover men working for them. But they are not high end warriors.

But in order to assassinate Zack Lockwood they require Super Elite Warriors. 

The Head furrowed his eyebrows. This was the least thing he wants to see. No one is giving him straight answer. If this goes on, it's hard to reach a consensus.

"Ahem, we don't have any Super Elite Warriors near the Viper City," One of the elders said at this time.

Hearing that the head nodded his head. 

"That's why I'm thinking of submitting a mission request to the Sharp Daggers," He said.

Gasp~ 

The elders were surprised again. Most of them are aware that the head has his own answers. But he planned this meeting just for formality.

But they can't utter those words outside.

Seeing that no one is refuting his words.

"That's it. Contact the sharp daggers. Offer them a high grade artifact as a reward. I bet they would do anything to get it," The head said with a sly smile on his face.

"Sharp daggers," The Red Elder said in his heart. He was the same person who led the young team in the student exchange meeting.

But right now his expression was not right.

It's not every day you can find a high grade artifact. Each high grade artifact is a valuable treasure. Even in auctions you can't buy the artifact that easily. He doesn't know why the head offers such a reward?

He is quite dissatisfied in his heart.

Shortly after, the meeting ended. Everyone dispersed.

A few minutes later,

At a secretive place located 60 miles away from the Viper City. It's a massive hideout built underground.

No one knows such a secretive hideout is located under Saw Scale Viper Academy Jurisdiction.

At this time, a warrior wearing black sleeved clothes receives a message from the client.

After decoding the mission request, the warrior immediately rushed to meet the leader. 

The Sharp Daggers is a medium scale organization. The force consists of rogue warriors. Ranging from Elite to Super Elite. 

Surprisingly the leader of the force is half-step SS Elite Warrior. He is over 50 years old. Unlike the rogue's here. He had a noble background in the initial days. 

But after that his crimes were exposed. In order to escape from the punishment and chasing from the Eclipse Academy. Not only did he change his name to Vik. He turned himself into a rogue warrior.

After spending several years in a mercenary job. He was able to cultivate into a half-step SS Warrior. Later, he himself created a force. Which now has become a medium size organization. 

His power is metal. Which is considered to be strong in both offensive and defensive. 

The warriors he recruited were personally screened by him. So there was no possibility of information leakage. And he chooses to act upon very few requests which favors him. So in order to say, he created this force for himself.

He has been amassing wealth from mission completion. So that he can one day complete the half step. As long as he can become a full-fledged SS Elite Warrior. He would then expand his forces to other academies as well.

Right at this time, his subordinates inform him of a mission request from the Giant Tower. 

He wasn't surprised by the client's name. He has done some mercenary work for them before. So he knows among the 6 great academies. The Giant Tower is a dark hearted one.

They do a lot of dirty work. Even after creating the Sharp daggers. He has seen many mission requests from them.

But after hearing the mission details. Vik's eyes grew cold. This mission request is a big one. Completing the mission would lead to facing the wrath of Saw Scaled Viper Academy.

And their hideout is under their jurisdiction. Did our hideout get exposed? Vik couldn't help but frown. He was so sure about the secrecy of this place.

Because he has been keeping an eye on everyone. No single details can miss his eyes. So he is sure that the Giant Tower doesn't know.

But asking them to kill an important seed of Saw Scaled Viper Academy is nothing but grabbing the tiger's tail.

If there are any leaks, then the Sharp Daggers would be buried along with him. He is aware of Target identity. He is the most famous promising warrior in the Outerpost. 

"Zack Lockwood?" Vik muttered to himself. He knows the target is a special element warrior. A lightning user. So it's difficult to say that he would travel alone.

The Saw Scale Academy's people are not brainless. He is sure that there must be some kind of protection. It may be an artifact or other means.

Then shaking his head, he decided to give up the mission. He is not in a hurry to head. Besides, the Giant Tower considers them cheaper. He owns several high grade artifacts. 

So the Giant Tower's reward is disappointing him. 

"Reply them back, we don't lack high grade artifacts. So we refuse their mission request," After saying that he closed his eyes.

He doesn't want to use a gun. 

A few minutes later,

His subordinate again came to him with another report.

"What is it now?" Vik asked.

"Leader, the Giant Tower has changed the reward this time. They want us to complete the mission at any cost," The subordinate replied.

"Harumph," Vik gave a cold snort.

He hates the attitude of big academies. If not for rich awards for the missions, he wouldn't have accepted all of their mission requests so far.

He calmed down his heart and asked,"What is the reward?"

"Advanced Grade Artifact," The subordinate said in a low voice. He himself feels hard to believe.

"What?" Vik lost his composure.

"Are you sure?"

"Send me the mission request," Vik instructed.

The next moment, he received the information in his watch. When he began to access the authenticity. He confirms that the reward is true.

"It's, true"

"The Giant Tower is ready to reward an advanced grade artifact," He uttered in disbelief.

What is an advanced artifact? This thing can only be wielded by SS Elite Warrior and above. For any organization, such a treasure is a protective item.

But the next second, he calmed down his emotions. The advanced grade artifact is much needed for the Sharp Daggers. He can protect his force with it.

He just doubts the credibility of the Giant Tower. It's hard to imagine a sly b@stard like them can give an advanced grade artifact just like that.

There is a high possibility that they would backtrack. Vik held up his chin in contemplation.

"Alright, send three Super Elite Warriors for this mission. I want the target dead as soon as possible," Vik ordered.

"Super Elite Warrior?" His subordinate shuddered. He knows the target is an elite warrior. So sending the Super Elite Warrior is an overkill. 

But he dared not stay outside. He quickly left the leader's room.

Vik noticed subordinates' expressions. He can understand his mind. The reason for sending the Super Elite Warriors. It's because only the Super Elite Warriors can kill Zack Lockwood.

As per the intelligence, that kid Zack Lockwood had defeated the Giant Tower Warriors easily. And he knows that Sharp Daggers' Elite Warriors aren't that strong. They can't defeat Zack Lockwood.

...

(From MC's perspective)

After flying for a few hours in mid air. I finally reached the small town. 

Tud!

I landed in front of the town's entrance. This small town is called Brownwood town. More than a town it can be named as a small post.

After pushing down my thoughts, I entered the town. Unlike the Viper City, there aren't many buildings here. 

I saw people coming and going. From their aura, I can tell that they are not Elite level warriors. They seemed to be families. No wonder they are outside of Viper City.

It's not easy to get a residence certificate in Viper City. Many will find an opportunity to stay outside so that they can enter the Viper City whenever they want. 

Right now, I have to find some clues. I don't have time to appreciate this small town. The next moment, I activated my perception ability and started to investigate.
