Scott walks into his room after giving his men instructions. Following his exit from the mission hall, the remaining warriors approached the screen to take down the bounty description. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. As a result, they began taking notes right away. Following that, warriors began to leave the area one by one. ... Meanwhile, Zack is cultivating in his room. I exhaled, realising it had been three hours since the morning drama. I think I'll go ask Uncle. "He hasn't been doing missions lately." "Does it have anything to do with me?" I was thinking to myself. I stood up from the meditation mat, shaking my head. I then put it in my storage ring. I knitter my brows as I look around my room. My room is not comparable to the secret chamber at Hansen Training Centre. It all comes down to money, I sighed internally. If I have enough cash. I can construct my own safe house. "I need to concentrate on accumulating more credit for the future." I muttered to myself. Then I go into Uncle's room. "I hope he finds some clues," I muttered to myself as I walked. "Knock" I rapped on the door. "Come in!" says the door slip. Mr. James said. When I walked into the room, I saw Uncle James reading some articles on the operating screen. It has a large display. It appears to be a limited edition based on its appearance. Mr. James stopped reading and looked at Zack when he noticed him. Then he asked, "How's your training?" When I heard that, I smiled and said, "It's going well, Uncle, but the environment isn't the same as it was at the training centre." Taking advantage of the situation, I asked him, "Uncle, "Did you come across anything about that cripple?" Mr. James nodded and said, "Yes, we discovered that he is a rogue warrior who is not affiliated with anyone." When I heard that, I furrowed my brows. Observing Zack's facial expression. Mr. James took a deep breath and said, "Now, You've gotten some attention." Some forces are considering slandering our Army Federation's reputation." I was able to decipher his hidden meaning, so I asked directly, "May I know their names?" As a result, I can better prepare myself." "There are too many enemies," Mr. James said, "you should concentrate on your cultivation." I believe your teacher has Major Forces plans." "Other than that, Mr. Jonathan and I can take care of the Medium ones," he continued. You can also deal with low-level forces. Their strength is comparable to that of a Special Trainee." When I heard that, I nodded. "Perhaps I can now fight the warriors." This could be a good opportunity." I was thinking to myself. "So, Uncle?" I inquired. How long do I have to stay at home? "May I come tomorrow?" It is impossible to stay at home all of the time. I'd like to practise in a secret chamber. My skills, in particular, are showing little improvement. I want to improve my skills to the intermediate level. From Small Wheel to Big Wheel, there is still a long way to go before entering another realm. If I can do that, I'll be able to easily defeat a special trainee warrior. It is impossible to expect another breakthrough anytime soon. I'll need a lot of money for that. Hearing Zack's query. Mr. James nodded and replied, "You can go tomorrow, I mean time, so I can gather more intel." When I heard that, I nodded and exited his room. Mr. James noticed his back and realised he hadn't informed Mr. Arthur yet. He addressed him as Soon. Mr. Arthur's holographic image appeared above his wristwatch. He informed Mr. Arthur of the morning situation. Mr. James then asked, "How's the movement around Jensen's house?" after he had explained everything. Mr. Arthur responded, "So far, there has been no significant movement." Except for those two, Elder Jensen's guards. They've been spotted near the Red Stone City train station." Mr. James frowns as he hears this. He has a feeling they're looking for Zack. Observing Mr. James's expression. "You don't have to worry about that, I have my men to handle them," Mr Arthur said immediately. Mr. James gave him a nod. "So, where is he?" Mr. Arthur continued. "Zack has gone to his room. He'll be there tomorrow." In a solemn tone, Mr. James said. Mr. Arthur noticed a doubtful expression on Mr. James's face. "James, what happened?" Mr. Arthur was curious. When Mr. James heard this, he asked, "Do you think it's that simple?" It's not just the Jensens. We discovered that some organisation had already placed a bounty on his head. We're down to a few men right now." Mr.James has an uneasy feeling. All they need is a chance to cause harm. It does not have to be a direct confrontation. They have the ability to use artefacts such as explosives. They've used it a lot to stage accidents. Mr. Arthur sighed as he heard this. They, too, received a large amount of Intel. Zack, in particular, is their seed candidate. And a big yes to that. Other competitors have not digested it. "Actually, Elder Thornton called for a meeting," he said, looking at Mr. James. We expected Zack to be here. On the other hand, I didn't expect them to act quickly. I'll inform Elder Thornton about it." "That's why I told him to skip class today," Mr. James said, nodding. It's too risky to rely on incomplete information. I'll have a better understanding of the situation by the evening." Then he looked Mr. Arthur in the eyes. "I also expect Hansen Training Centre to do their part," he added. This situation arose as a result of your internal politics." Mr. Arthur laughed heartily when he heard that. He is aware that James is correct. If something were to happen to Zack. It will have far-reaching consequences for them. Elder Jensen's antics, in particular, contribute significantly to the situation. "Don't worry, James," Mr. Arthur replied. I'll notify Elder Thornton. We will do everything we can to help Zack. Mr. James nodded when he heard that. They then discussed a few other topics before concluding the call. ... Inside the high-level management room, on the other hand. Elder Thornton's brow is perspiring. He's talking to someone on the phone. He was unable to confront this individual through direct eye contact. "Thornton, I asked you to handle this." But your intelligence politics ruined everything. Because of your carelessness, my disciple is now being investigated." Every word spoken by Sir. Lowell McClain has pierced his heart. Elder Thornton couldn't stop himself from stuttering. Who would have guessed that Unknown brat is this person's disciple? He couldn't stop himself from cursing Jensen. If only he had known sooner. Despite all opposition, he would have killed Jensen. They're plotting against his disciple, to think of it. He couldn't help but be terrified. I see Thornton is scared, Sir. Lowell McClain frowned, not wanting to waste time with this person. "Thornton, hereafter, You will be responsible for Zack's safety," Sir. Lowell McClain said. You will be his shadow, protecting him from his adversary. He'll square off against Special Trainee. You must take care of that, Warrior above that level." ,then. "Remember, you will be his bodyguard until he joins the academy," Sir. Lowell McClain added. Remember, no one should find out about this." Elder Thornton was stunned, and he gulped his saliva as he heard his final words. "Academy, they'll be hiring next year." To think, without knowing it, Hansen Training Centre has been dragged into a massive shambles." He had the same thought. Elder Thornton then nodded subconsciously in response. He was unable to respond directly. As a result, he decides to obey his command. The call was then abruptly terminated. It isn't even a minute. "He just called me, scolded me, and then ordered me." "Thank God, it's all over." Elder Thornton reflected to himself. He is still in disbelief. He exited the building right away. He's on his way to Zack's house. As he had promised to that individual. He will be Zack's personal bodyguard. Elder Thornton bolts from the building. He got into his air cab and hoped in. I started driving towards the white snow city. His sci-fi wristwatch buzzes with a notification a few minutes later. It's a call from Arthur, I see. Elder Thornton was present. He turned off the holographic image view. He doesn't want anyone to know what he did. When he arrives in the white snow city. He decides to park his car somewhere. He switched the call to voice-only mode. Elder Thornton inquired, "What exactly is it? Arthur." When Mr. Arthur heard this, he responded, "Sir, I have new information about Zack." "Please tell me!" Elder Thornton said. Mr. Arthur explained everything to him after hearing that. Elder Thornton's heart skips a beat as he hears his response. No wonder that person asked me to pretend to be Zack's bodyguard. Elder Thornton has not responded. Mr. Arthur says "Elder" "Elder " Mr. Arthur is perplexed as to why Elder Thornton has not responded. Hearing that, Elder Thornton got back his composure.. Earlier, he didn't mind to inform Arthur anything.
