Chapter 194 - Elder Thornton's Resolve



"What a jerk!" "I can\'t keep fighting him for much longer," Assassin Ed thought to himself.

Elder Thornton fires the explosion artefact at him, sensing the loss of guard\'s life.

Assassin Ed rolls backwards to get away from the attach as he rolls backwards.

The medium artefact explodes as it lands on the empty ground. As a result of the explosion, nearby rooms collapsed even more. The surrounding area is completely engulfed in smoke. It formed a massive tremor, which alarmed the nearby structures.

Every business building began to light up one by one. The news even made its way to the city lord\'s mansion.

"Harumph"

Assassin Ed, on the other hand, snorted immediately. He knew that when the artefact exploded, it would make a lot of noise. As a result, his expression becomes dissatisfied.

At this point, Assassin Ed made a quick decision. He ran away from here.

Elder Thornton, on the other hand, sees no sign of an opponent. To confirm, he expands his consciousness. Elder Thornton let out a huge sigh after realising that his opponent was truly gone.

He turned to face the corpses of patrolling guards. Elder Thornton was moved by pity and regret. He soon heard footsteps coming from downstairs. As his thoughts wandered, he noticed that some people had entered the building. "From their costumes, it appears to be an adventurer league." He thought to himself.

Then he walked towards them, doing nothing to those corpses. It\'s best left to the city lord\'s team. They will look into the situation. Several people arrive downstairs with armour and high-tech equipment. When they saw Elder Thornton, they were all taken aback and immediately bowed. They were aware that this man was the chairman.

Elder Thornton later approached them and briefed them on the situation. He mingled some lies with truth. He informed them that some bounty hunters had infiltrated the campus and killed the patrolling guards.

Then the scene was later cleared by City Lord\'s team. Elder Thornton mediated the situation, and people exited one by one.

Then he immediately made arrangements for Mr. Arthur\'s treatment at a high-end medical Centre in Red Stone City. It took an entire night to finalise all of the arrangements.

Soon, Early morning, Elder Thornton also made an announcement at the same time.

"The Hansen Campus will be closed for a while."

Early in the morning, news of the Hansen incident began to circulate in Red Stone City.

It caused massive waves, and several intelligence forces began to gather information one by one.

(From Zack\'s Point of View)

Elder Thornton arrived with Mr. James to pay Zack a visit in the underground battle arena.

Mr. James was already aware of the situation thanks to Elder Thornton\'s words. The rest of the world only knows that some bounty hunters broke into the Hansen campus. But when he heard about a real-life situation, a shiver ran down his spine. He couldn\'t help but break out in a cold sweat as learnt of elite level assassin.

Both of them then entered the clinic room.

Previously, Elder Thornton modifies the access code that serves as his fingerprint in the monitoring system. The door opened when he scanned his finger print.

"Creak" As the door opened, I noticed Elder Thornton and Uncle James enter.

"Elder" and "Uncle," I said solemnly as I stood up.

"Fortunately, you were shifted here yesterday," Elder Thornton said to Zack. Otherwise, you might not have lived."

Mr. James, on the other hand, responded, "Yes, Zack, Elder Thornton is to be thanked. You made it through the night."

Hearing that, my expression became solemn. I was aware of an accident that occurred the night before. At one point in particular, I heard a deafening sound. However, uncle James later refused to tell me. He told me he\'d brief me in the morning. I knew right now, seeing their solemn expression, that movement was not insignificant.

"Uncle, can you tell me now?" I asked, looking at them. What transpired? "I couldn\'t sleep last night. "

Then they both explained the true situation. My expression was solemn at first, but as I listened further, it changed to horror. "Elite Assassin," I exclaimed in disbelief. Why is this so? I\'m a very low-key person. I\'ve never met anyone else besides my family and Hansen students. Even I was not present during May Ford People\'s stay.

My teacher was the only person who could assist me at this time. With Uncle\'s help, I thought I could handle things. But, as it stands now, even my Uncle couldn\'t avoid facing Elite level Warriors.

I\'d like to speak with my teacher right away. But when I saw Elder Thornton, I came to a halt.

Elder Thornton and Mr. James both gave Zack some space to process the information. After a while, Elder Thornton looked at Zack and said, "Campus has been suspended for a while." Except for a few Elders, no one will enter here. You can practise here at your leisure and improve your level."

When I heard that, I nodded and said, "Elder, before that, I\'d like to pay a visit to Mr. Arthur." "I\'d like to check on his health." I couldn\'t help but feel powerless. I have the sensation that a high mountain is pressing down on me.

Elder Thornton sighed and said, "You can\'t visit him." He is being closely monitored. It will take some time for him to recover mentally. As a result, no one is permitted to see him."

"Why?" I couldn\'t help but wonder.

Mr. James, on the other hand, responded, "You\'re not going to understand." Arthur has taken a beating. His mind has been harmed. His vitality is unaffected thanks to Elder. He is being treated in a specialised medical facility. As a result, no one other than medical personnel is permitted."

Hearing that, I couldn\'t help but sigh helplessly. After a while, three of us arrived at the hallway via lift. Elder Thornton split up in the middle. Uncle James and I decide to eat breakfast at a nearby restaurant.

"Uncle, do you think it\'s the same Assassin who\'s been targeting me?" I asked as I exited the Hansen building.

Mr. James, on the other hand, stated, "According to Elder, the opponent is an ice element warrior, with a poison dagger as his weapon." Then Mr. James remembered something Elder Thornton had specifically mentioned to him.

"Elder Thornton also mentioned that assassin is looking for you," Mr. James replied, sighing. He broke into the medical clinic room last night."

When I heard that, my expression tightened. Then we didn\'t bring it up again as we walked through the crowds. We found a good restaurant a few minutes later. Then we sat down to a hearty breakfast.

Following yesterday\'s failed attempt. Ed, the assassin, did not leave the city. According to some, the most dangerous place is also the safest. He returned late at night to his own hideout.

He stayed in the hotel\'s premium suite. Assassin Ed is currently meditating intently. After a while, he opens his eyes. "Harumph, "It appears that brat stayed inside the building last night"

He muttered something under his breath.

He began to run his thoughts through his mind. He went through the majority of the locations yesterday. However, he was unable to locate that brat\'s location. He had a hunch about the secret facility at the time. However, he is not certain about that speculation. At the time, I ran into the chairman of the Hansen campus. And he was the reason why his entire plan failed.

In perplexity, he furrows his brows. He was expending his energy on battle at the time. As a result, he failed to consider an important point. "What was old man up to at the time?" There is also one staff that I shot him with at the time. "There are so many variables?" He thought to himself.

Just as he was getting frustrated, the masked man\'s face came to mind. "That useless idiot\'s information is a waste of time." "Why are there so many variables appearing?" In frustration, he clenched his teeth.

Then he appears to have had an epiphany, as he accessed his sci-fi watch to contact his man for the most recent intel. Assassin Ed was later updated with the most recent information. "As a result, they disguised themselves as bounty hunters." As he realised the latest development, his lips curved slightly.

"That kid is being pursued by a number of forces." Crimson Hall, in particular. Is it because of the seed challenge?" He thought to himself. "He won\'t live long enough for that," he smirked. I should confirm yesterday\'s strange situation right now. Why did that old man appear at that time? "Does it have anything to do with me?" Inside, he sneered.

Nobody knows about his arrival or, more importantly, his existence. As a result, he must clarify the strange situation that occurred last night. Then make your next move. Assassin Ed gathered his thoughts.

...

Concurrently, after parting ways with Zack and his Uncle.

Elder Thornton then returns to his cabin. He was able to resolve the majority of the outside issues. Now he has to be concerned about internal problems.. The building has been severely damaged, and restoration will take a long time.
