In Chapter 74 of "Ancient Tears BloodLine": The old man poured something, on the body of Max Stewart. A small creature is... Discover the next events!

The old man poured something, on the body of Max Stewart. A small creature is very hard to see with the naked eye. Covered the body of Max Stewart. These creatures were all black in color. Having one big eye. Once they covered the body. They started to eat tissues and then followed by whole flesh. Time went by. The body of Max Stewart is now laid down on the ground. The small creatures left no flesh on the body, leaving behind only bones. The old man then removed electronic gadgets from his body. Especially his sci-fi, watch. He plans to dump it outside the city. If people look at this place now. They will find nothing except the whole skeleton. Then the old man took the skeleton into its storage ring. "Now, the target is finished. It's time to leave this place" The old man said with a smile. He once again goes through the place to check for any evidence. After confirming everything. The old man typed a message to his servant. The servant is waiting outside of Thomas Trade Centre. The servant was in a secluded place. He is waiting for the old man. He received a message from an old man saying. "Ready for departure!" Once the old man arrived. Both of them flee the town. They go to the next city for completing the kill list. Meanwhile, the old man after killing Max Stewart didn't wait for too long and exited the place. Meanwhile, Zack and the last robber have their last fights. I don't know how long it takes, for these people from the building to realize this desperate situation. As Zack expected. The hidden force of the Thomas Trade Centre and Auction Authorities came. They were ten people, their level is Early Special Trainee. They went to each floor to sort out the situation. Due to their late arrival, most of the robbers left the building, leaving behind one. They took care of the unconscious warriors and sent them to medical treatment. Likewise, they followed the same procedure. It's the same for all the transaction locations on different floors. Then they went to Zack's floor. Meanwhile, Zack. I couldn't hold on anymore. Even in the physical aspect, there is a difference. This assassin aka robber knew how to use every muscle fiber and use it effectively. This guy is exerting the greatest force with the least energy. On the other side, I'm having drainage of stamina in my body. I understood my major weakness. In this fight, I couldn't withstand more than fifteen minutes. I don't know, it's because of different energy levels or what. But, it's certainly an aspect I need to set my focus on. Suddenly, the floor's lift door opened. A team of five people appeared. When they saw Zack was injured, and he was barely holding on. They waste no time surrounding the robber. The robber got startled by witnessing new situations. He cursed in his heart for his negligence. But, it's too late to say sorry. The Hidden force team was delighted to catch at least one guy finally. They will interrogate him for this incident. The team's leader is a brute man, His team was sent by Thomas Trade Centre. He has the utmost responsibility to catch the culprit. Because of Zack's help. They caught this guy. So, He was impressed with his diligence. He walked towards Zack and said, "What's your name kid?" He gestures to one of his men to take back the culprit to the interrogation room. Then the team moved from the floor, leaving behind only Zack and their leader. The leader took out some energy drink bottles from the storage ring. He saw Zack was exhausted. "Finally" I commented in my heart. When help arrived on time. Otherwise, I would be broken down. If it stretches for too long. I took the energy drink from this man. And gulped down in one go. I felt a stream of cold and warm spring water washing over my throat. I can feel my stamina being restored. My thoughts become clear now. Then I looked at this man and answered, "Hi, I'm Zack Lockwood. I came here for the transaction" and I added, "Then I was attacked by this random guy disguised as staff." Hearing that the team leader nodded and explained the situation. Then he thanked Zack for not running away and stalling the guy. There were some casualties reported on the transaction floor. Fortunately, they caught one of the robbers, after some talk with Zack. The Team leader told Zack to visit the treatment room. Then he left. This team leader is also a special trainee. I didn't expect today, would be such a bad day. I believed that guy was an assassin. But, he turned out to be a robber. I relaxed after having that clarity. I thought I'm being targeted by the assassin. I'm glad that I didn't expose lightning. It's good that the team leader didn't ask about my strength. He must have a lot of things going through in his mind. I shook my head thinking that, then I walked towards the emergency clinic for treatment. I need to take care of my left hand. It's now swollen. On the way, I sent a message to fatty. I hope he didn't get tangled in this situation. He must be waiting for me at Leki restaurant. Soon, I reached the 3rd floor. I thought this floor pseudo monster trade. Yet, there are certain different room treatments. There are the modern clinic and herbal clinic. I had thought to try an urban clinic. But, I reminded myself this is not time for an experiment. I entered the modern clinic. There were six people inside the room. They were treating patients. When I looked at them. There was a surprising glint in my eyes. I saw some of these guys earlier on the auction floor. Earlier, the team leader told me about causalities. Seeing me, looking at the patients. One of the doctors asked, "Are you injured?" I nodded at him. There were two main doctors and four assistants. The Doctor started to treat my left hand. He injected some liquid to control the swelling. I heard about this liquid, it's one of the latest inventions of humanity. I hope they won't charge credit points for this liquid.
