Chapter 359 New Situation

Roth family,

Elder Brody Roth is completely dumbfounded by the recent news. He didn't like the events happening at Iron Post City. In particular, the news he is getting one after another about insects in the forest makes him perplexed.

Earlier, as per the family head's orders He tried to see what was happening out there. Unfortunately, he lost all means of contact with bandit boss Soren. If he wants to see him, he has no choice but to visit him in person.

SIGH

Elder Brody let out a deep sigh. He doesn't want his Roth family to get dragged into this mess. After gaining some clarity, "Looks like I need to go to the insect forest," he muttered to himself.

If the bandit boss's identity is exposed to the public, then they will face serious repercussions.

After seeing the city lord's move, he feels it is more necessary to meet bandit boss Soren in person.

Elder Brody decided to let the family head know about his decision. Then he will leave the family in a few days.

Alternatively,

City Lord Mansion-Iron Post City,

The City Lord is yet to recover from his injuries. He has been monitoring the situation through his manager. Earlier, when he heard that the city was being deserted He didn't know what to do.

As a city lord, he can exercise a lot of power to solve the current situation, but due to some personal problems, he is unwilling to request any help from his superior.

So, in order to stop the migration, he came up with a plan to attract nearby city warriors. He thought at least it could give him a few weeks' time.

But who thought that the current situation would worsen more than expected? He had no clue how Soren had managed to get so many Peak Trainee Warriors under his command.

The numbers that he had heard from his manager were astonishing. It's not anywhere lower than that of some small-scale organisations.

Even in some medium-range forces, such numbers of peak trainee warriors are hard to see. But here is where Soren was able to gather so many warriors.

For a moment, the atmosphere around his room turned pin-drop silent. He needs some time to think of a plan. He can't let this atrocity continue.

As a City Lord, he needs to do his job, otherwise he can't even escape the punishment. He doesn't want to end up behind bars after having such a stupendous career.

BUZZ

When he was contemplating, suddenly his communication watch lit up with a notification. Looking at the contact name, his expression became pale with fright.

He knew if he attended the call, he was goner. His superior is calling him right now. Maybe the situation in the iron post city has already reached his ears.

The city lord had thought his superior wouldn't mind the situation of a mere Tier-8 city. But it looks like it's not. As his communication watch continues to buzz, his expression becomes unsightly.

Finally, the buzzing sound died down after 10 minutes.

A small drop of sweat begins to drop from his forehead. The city lord took his handkerchief to wipe out the sweat. For a moment, his mind went blank.

He now realised he had lost his time. Even if he tries to mend things now, it's useless. His superior had already taken note of this city.

"Getting my revenge is going to be difficult now," he muttered to himself.

If he didn't answer the phone call, it would be a matter of time before his superior sent his men to oversee the city.

Should I attend the call or not? Either way, he is going to suffer. Then suddenly, he made up his mind to attend the call. He can't delay it anymore.

When the call was connected, he heard a deep voice, "Are you alive?"

Hearing that, the City Lord's heart skips a beat. He was very familiar with this voice. He hasn't had the courage to say it in a long time.

He replied, "Mr. Anderson, I'm recovering from an injury."

There was sudden pause for a moment.

Mr. Anderson asked, "How long will it take? You have been using this same excuse for so long. " There is a hint of mocking in his tone.

The City Lord didn't know whether to laugh or cry. But he knows he will have to face lots of trouble later if he lied to him now.

"My foundation was hurt during the last fight. It will take a year to recover completely," he said.

The City Lord's mind is occupied with lots of thoughts. His superior is up to something. But he doesn't know what it is.

Then Mr. Anderson said something that finally shocked him to the core.

"Someone will take care of that bandit for you. So you don't need to exert yourself. All you have to do now is to govern the city properly, "Mr. Anderson commented.

The City Lord had actually expected the worst to happen. But now he is hearing good news all of a sudden. He couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"Ha.... Ha... Ha...", Anderson laughed heartily.

The City Lord was dumbfounded. He couldn't make any heads or tails out of this conversation. Earlier, he was even afraid to answer the phone after seeing his name.

At the same time, Anderson stopped laughing and replied, "Count your luck, stars." That's all I can say. "

Then he suddenly thought of something. Recalling that, he added further, "And one more thing, be ready to handle the aftermath."

Anderson didn't close the information directly. He only spoke about what he had to do now.

Then they talked about a few other things before ending the call.

The City Lord directly collapsed onto the bed. He couldn't believe what he had just heard now. The conversation itself feels surreal. He thought his career was going to be over.

A small smile blossomed on his face. He feels some regret that he is not going to get revenge on his own hands.

SIGH

He somewhat understood why his superior let him go. It must be someone else who must have talked to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be this jubilant.

Soren is an Elite Warrior. Even officials think twice before taking action against him. If not for his own personal reasons, he wouldn't have volunteered to be the City Lord of Iron Post City.

He doubts anyone else would have been ready for the post. For this sole reason, his superior, Anderson, didn't poke into the internal affairs of Iron Post City for so long.

Now that the situation has been solved somehow, He couldn't help but feel a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulder. Like his superior had advised, he can now focus on governing the city.

Alternatively,

After ending the call with the City Lord, Mr. Anderson immediately dialled another esteemed person.

The other esteemed person is none other than Mr. Jonathan.

When the call was connected, Mr. Jonathan asked, "What happened?"

Hearing that, Anderson let out a small laugh before replying, "Mr. Jonathan, you don't have to worry." I spoke with the City Lord. He won't interfere in the matters of the culprit Soren anymore. "

Anderson is speaking with a very humble tone. His way of conversing has totally changed in comparison with the last conversation.

A quick glint flashes in Mr. Jonathan's eyes.

He is extremely pleased with the news. Then they talked about other things before ending their call.

Right now, Mr. Jonathan is secretly acting as guardian for Zack Lockwood. So far, he is extremely satisfied with Zack's performance.

Zack has now entered the outer area to kill other bandits.

Mr. Jonathan recalled the past few days' events. What impressed him the most about Zack?His knack for avoiding evil

Mr. Jonathan doesn't know how to describe it. But he feels it has a lot to do with Zack's instincts.

At the same time, Mr. Jonathan was also aware of the events happening at the iron post city. Apart from protecting Zack, Mr. Jonathan went to gather information from time to time.

He knew the situation was starting to deteriorate. If this goes on, the city won't be safe for the people. Not only for Zack, but also for the good of the people. Mr. Jonathan decided to help.

He had already informed his master of the situation. and in response, his master had given the green signal.

It will be a matter of time before the bandit boss, Soren, comes out. So Mr. Jonathan took his time contacting Anderson about this. Now that the trouble on the city lord's side is solved,

He can take action at any time he want. Then Mr. Jonathan set his eyes on Zack. He knew Zack is hell bent on gathering wealth. He has personally seen his method of looting.

Recalling that he don't know whether to laugh or cry about it. Shaking his head, he decided to contact Zack right now. Once Zack walked out of the insect forest, he will take action right away.

Then suddenly Mr. Jonathan notices the new situation. Zack is going to involve in another fight now.
