Tier-7 Baguva City,

Five members left right away after the meeting. They didn't even think about having a small chat with Zack and Elder Thornton.

Seeing their attitude, Compton felt helpless. Nothing can be changed in one day. On top of it, he felt its best for them to leave this place right now.

Otherwise, who knows? what will happen? if Erik decides to do something. After they left, Compton talked with Zack and Thornton.

The exploration team will leave tomorrow officially. Compton doesn't want to waste any more time by delaying the trip.

Fortunately, there are multiple routes to Trunulesia Forest from Baguva city. If there is no incident occurs, they will pick up the short route to travel.

The journey will take at least one week on normal days. if everything goes right, the team will reach the forest after one week.

After explaining certain things to both, he led them back to the villa.

The following day,

The exploration team left early for the trip. Elder Thornton went together to the train station to send off Zack. Last night, he reminded Zack to stay away from the team members as much as possible.

Because he is going there to gain experience. Not to explore the ruins. So now his worries were lessened.

When the train departed from the city, Thornton also decided to return. There is no use in staying here. Because his mind is now occupied with Hansen Institute.

One hour later,

Thornton boarded the train back to Red Stone City. It will take a couple of days for him to get back. But he decided to assist Arthur from time to time.

Time went by,

Four days later,

Thornton came to know about the recent happenings from Arthur. The registration process is going on smoothly. All the talented young warriors from the city were keenly registering their names for this competition.

Especially, Thornton realised that the local media houses were covering extensively about the competition. He was surprised by such a smooth process. But somewhere in his heart, there is a shadow of a doubt.

After Arthur came from the City Lord Mansion, there are no other actions taken from the City lord Alex Fuller. Which puzzled him more. He was expecting some kind of measure from the city lord.

To think none happened. He doesn't know how to take it. But he feels everything will be clear once he returns.

...

City Lord Mansion - Red Stone City,

Discussion Hall,

"Walter, where are they?" the city lord Alex Fuller asked. A clear frown can be seen on his face.

Manager Walter replied, "Lord, they are not willing to come here."

"Harumph," Alex Fuller snorted.

Yesterday, a team of five from the Crimson Hall organisation entered this city. Alex Fuller wanted them to have a meeting with Frazier Clan's head.

But these people were ignoring his orders. He felt helpless, he can't force them to come here. All he can do was inform their headmaster wells.

Maybe Mr Wells might instruct them to meet me.

"SIGH," He let out a small sigh. Making a deal with Crimson Hall is not easy. To get resources, he needs to put up with their actions and behaviours.

He then asked, "How is the registration is going?

Manager Walter replied, "Lord, a lot of young warriors from our city were registering for this competition."

"Hmmm," Alex Fuller furrowed his eyebrows. He feels this city is not bad as he imagined considering there is a good number of talented warriors in this city.

Then again he feels he needs to make a quick arrangement before the registration closes up.

...

Red Stone City,

At the same time, two female warriors were wandering around several streets and shops. They were none other than Ella Downs and Sallie Mills.

Currently, both walked out of one of the shops.

Sallie thought of something and asked, "Should we go and take a look at Hansen Institute?"

Hearing that Ella halted her footsteps. A trace of apprehension can be seen on her face. Both were not interested in this competition at all.

It's because of the mission order, they have to obey it. On top of it, she couldn't understand the crimson hall's enmity against Zack Lockwood.

Even their headmaster didn't say it openly. But they can understand, five of them are ultimately here for Zack Lockwood. Last time, Zack defeated everyone at the Star Tower trials by taking first place.

The trial of the star tower is such that no one can see what taking place inside the tower. So warrior's battle was blocked from viewing. Which made them wonder about Zack.

No one could easily access his combat strength. She feels that their organisation might send them because of this reason.

Seeing Ella spacing out in the middle of the street, she said, "Ella?"

Hearing that, Ella retracted her thoughts. She replied, "Okay" she knows this place is quite close to the Hansen Institute. So there is no problem in checking out the place.

Then both changed their destination to the Hansen Institute. On the way, both of their minds are occupied with different thoughts. Ella is thinking about the small competition.

Where Sallie is thinking about the city lord. She saw the inbox is filled with manager Walter's message. Seeing that, she had black lines on her forehead.

"Ella, Did you receive the message?" Sallie asked.

Ella nodded and replied, "I just blocked his contact number." Ella knows that she is talking about the manager Walter from the city lord mansion.

Because he is the one who is sending these text messages ever since they entered this city. Retracting these thoughts both then continued to walk.

5 minutes later,

Ella and Sallie arrived in front of the Hansen Institute. Surprisingly, they are many people in front of this small building. Both Sallie and Ella found this building nowhere at the level of their Crimson Hall.

This building may be huge compared to nearby buildings, but Sallie and Ella are not awed by the infrastructure.

"Harrumph, to think Zack Lockwood was from this garbage institute," ridicule and contempt-filled voice reached their ears.

Sallie and Ella found this voice very familiar. Both turned towards the direction where the voice came from.

"Bob?" Sallie said.

Both saw Bob Williamson coming toward them.

Seeing that, Ella furrowed her eyebrows. She knows among the five of them, Bob is more interested in this mission.

After seeing him both remained silent, Bob already noticed the presence of these two. That's why he commented.

Seeing that there is no response to his words, Bob revealed a sly smile. He knows unlike him, these two have good opinions about Zack.

But it's unfortunate for Zack because their organisation is already decided to take him out. No one can save his life anymore.

After taking a glance at these two, Bob walked past them. He wants to see what the crowd were doing.

When he disappeared, both Sallie and Ella sighed in relief. Sallie immediately answered, "This guy won't give up even if our organisation decide to let go of Zack."

Ella nodded. Not only, Bob, She knows the other two members have similar thoughts. For resources, both will do anything. Then after spending a few more minutes here, Sallie and Ella both left the place.

On the other hand, Bob Williamson is standing there among the crowds. Before coming here Bob had asked his family to collect some Intel.

Interestingly, he found that Zack Lockwood was rarely seen after the star trial. Apart from a few appearances near the Hansen Institute, no one has seen him.

Bob Willaimson was intrigued by the news. He has already thought of some clues. He feels that Hansen Institute might have sent Zack far away for special training.

Then retracting his thoughts, he continued to observe the campus for a few more minutes before leaving.

A few minutes later, Austin Boyer and Bradley Reese came to look at the Hansen Institute. Looking at the building, Austin Boyer commented, "It's hard to believe Zack Lockwood comes from this small institute."

Austin Boyer wall impressed. He had heard about Zack's background before. But this is the first time for everyone to see the institute.

A quick flash into Bradley's eyes as he recalls the start tower ranking.

He asked, "What do you think about Zack's strength?"

Austin was quiet for a moment. Because he hadn't thought about this before. All of them are quite confident because of the Peak Special Trainee Cultivation base. They are one step away from touching the Trainee Warrior level.

So he thinks that Zack is not up to their level. Especially, the warriors around here are Trainee Apprentice. This shows that the talent of this region is very low. Only Zack was exceptional.

"What are you thinking about?" Bradley asked.

Hearing that, Austin retracted his thoughts and replied, "I think Zack is Mid-level Special Trainee Warrior."

Bradley nodded, he to thinks this might be the case. If their assumption is true then they can easily get their revenge.
