Elder Thornton looked at Mr. Arthur and said, 'Ok, I'll take care of this matter. You go and handle Centre's affairs. If you need anything just call me." Elder Thornton sounded serious. Hearing that, Mr. Arthur nodded at him. They talked few other things then they ended the call. After the call, Mr. Arthur's expression turned little doubtful. "What happened to Elder? He seems restless." Mr. Arthur try to pinpoint the issue, but he couldn't find what is it. " Let's guess, Even, He is reacting for Zack's situation. But, it looks exaggerating." Mr. Arthur thought to himself. Then he shifted his attention in the current issue. Their intel is not enough, Zack's situation is getting out of control. Even their training Centre's reputation is on the line. So, he have no choice to get serious about it. Then, Mr. Arthur began to do his work. On the other hand, Elder Thornton, a few hours later reached White Snow City. He parked his four-wheeler at his colleagues warehouse. After stepping out of the vehicle, " I couldn't possible be guard Zack all day and night. I should do something about my stay here." Elder Thornton thought to himself. He then decides to stay in rental house in coming days. After sorting that, he then proceeds to Zack's house. A few minutes later, Elder Thornton observes the building. Which seems to be residence of Mr. James. After confirming the address in his Sci-fi wrist watch. "It's a good residence, where is that brat's room" Elder Thornton whispered to himself. He then instantly disappears from the front gate. He appears above the attic, it's not flight ability by a fast movement technique. Then, Elder Thornton furrowed his eyebrows, seeing some one coming. He then disappears. A moment later, Mr. James arrived at the spot. He began to look around him. Seeing that there is no result, "What's going on? I really sensed someone" Mr. James thought to himself. He once again looks around and started to mutter, "It's best to observe from here for few minutes." Deep down he knows, if there is someone here to spy, He will be back again. On the other hand, Elder Thornton is out of his conscious range. He perfectly hides himself from his view. Then, He looked at James and smirked, "This guy, James is one step away from reaching Elite. No wonder, He felt something off" Elder Thornton whispered to himself, Seeing Mr. James is not moving away from the spot. Then he shifted his gaze from him to another room. Where he spots a closed window. "This might be that brat's room. But, I'm not sure Unless I could get closer to it and make sure." Elder Thornton thought to himself. He is waiting for an opportunity to find Zack's room. … << ZACK'S POV>> I exchanged some of the herbs from alliance trading platform. I plan to use it for herbal bath. There is a simple body nourishment method available to maintain healthy body. But, it requires huge herbal resources. Not many could follow it. Especially, it comes with pain. Even wealthy family's sons and daughters don't follow this method due to pain. But, I decided to try it. Earlier, I didn't put this body nourishment method in my eyes. I had superior blood cultivation method to make for it. Now, I feel like, I'm under house arrest. I don't have other choice to resort to it. I hope, in coming days, I will venture to Class 2 Monsters Zone. After sorting out, I prepared for the herbal bath. I prepared the herbal conditions according to that method. It's not difficult prepare the herbal concoction. If you follow the instruction manual carefully any layman could do it. After preparing it, I poured the entire herbal liquid in the bath tub. As the herbal liquid mixes with the water, the colour changes into dark brown. If any one sees it, they assume it as mud. Shaking my head, I removed my clothes from top to bottom. Since, I know it's going to be painful. I mentally prepared myself. I took a deep breath and entered the bath. I immersed myself in the brown liquid. Then, I started to observe the essence from the liquid. Just like, I do it in my cultivation method. Except, it doesn't have any set of practises. As I focus on my attention, a pure brown essence began to condense around my body. These were darker than the rest of the herbal liquid in the bath tub. As I began to extract the energy, I'm able to seen a sip of energies entered my pores. "Without set of cultivation technique for it, it's very difficult to use the entire energy in the liquid." I thought to myself. As the pure brown energy courses through veins. "What the fu*k!" I cursed in my heart. I felt an a heart wrenching pain. This energy seems gentle in outside, but trickle of it causes burning sensation in my vein. "Thank goodness," I thought to myself. As the pain fades away due to lack of pure brown energy. I felt the pain is bearable, When compare to my own blood cultivation method. Then I composed myself and began to do it again. ... Time went on, a few hours later, as Zack is training through medicinal bath. Above the attic, Mr. James finally decides to move away from the spot. He vanishes from this spot and proceeds to his room. Seeing that, Mr. James decided to give up. Elder Thornton let out a sigh. "This fellow, He acts as he is under some mission." Elder Thornton grumbled. He is quite annoyed by Mr. James. While, waiting here. Elder Thornton spots few warriors quite distance from here. "What are they up to, it's just residential area. Looking at their attire, it's looks like they are not residents." Elder Thornton mumbled under his breath. Elder Thornton vanishes from his spot and proceeds to observe these vermin. He plans to observe their conversations. Elder Thornton gazing at two fellows. These guys discussing something in his voice. Two warriors from saber tooth organisation, after taking the bounty mission. They decided to team up and finish the mission. Once they successful, they can split the rewards among themselves. As they now near the location, they are discussing about it. "Martin, Do you think this brat is at home.?" Victor Inquired. These two fellows were sworn brothers. Most of the difficult mission were perfectly cleared by them. In this process, they developed mutual trust with each other. Since, his brother is asking something, Instead of answering him. Martin is currently occupied with something. He is operating on his sci-fi watch. He wants verify something, he is worried about bounty mission. Other than them, lot of them took the mission and came to this residential area. He doesn't want to seen by them. Also, He couldn't able to think of proper plan to execute this bounty mission. Seeing, Marrin is occupied with something. Victor decides to raise his voice. "Martin, Are you alright?" As his sudden loud voice reaches his ear. Hearing that, Martin came back to reality. Starting at his friend, Martin furrowed his eyebrows. Martin commented, "Why are you shouting? Do you want to attract the crowd" He grumbled. Victor taken back hearing that, "Don't worry brother Martin. I'm just thinking about the bounty mission" To that, Martin shook his head. He commented, "I'm too thinking about that, Our Leader announced such a huge rewards for this bounty mission. We should complete it before others." To that, Victor nodded at him. "Yes brother, We should kill this brat and raise our saber tooth organisation reputation" Victor uttered while gnashing his teeth. Like others, duo also suffered from the hands of the army federation. They to give up several mission dus to them. While they were discussing it among them. It was all heard by Elder Thornton. He Scowled at the duo hearing that. "These bastards both are at Special Trainee Level" Elder Thornton whispered to himself." If that, Zack came across this duo. It will quite difficult to escape. " Elder Thornton commented within his mind. He doesn't want to kill them right away. He wants to observe for a while. While Elder Thornton is observing. Martin and victor muster up their courage to go near the residence. Their movements were steady. It looks like they are taking normal stroll around the street. On the way, Martin spots few known faces from the same organisation. "Shit!" Martin cursed under his breath. Hearing that, Victor got startled. He is not nerd like his brother. Most of the decision making is done by Martin. Starting at Victor, Martin answered, "Hutson is here!" Martin points his finger at a person. Victor looks at the location. His complexion becomes paler seeing Hutson. Looking at Martin, Victor commented, "What are we going to do? This maniac will spoil our plans. On top of it, we had feud with him." Martin nodded at him hearing his words. This is not the right time to confront Hutson. Usually, It's ends up with the conflict. If they started to fight here. Then it will attract attention and the whole mission will be jeopardised because of it. Martin began to think about some plan. On the other hand, Elder Thornton amused hearing that.
