Chapter 525 Failure!

?

From MC's Perspective:

The leader Vik collapsed after revealing the truth. But my heart was not calm. So Giant Tower made him do it? 

I remember the dean's warning. She told me the hostile force wouldn't hesitate to put a bounty on my head.

So the Giant Tower Academy wasn't forgiving. Looks like the student exchange event memories didn't leave their mind.

My expression darkened. To think they have managed to stretch their hands to this level. How many spies are still left in our territory?

The dean told me that spies are eliminated from our city. But looks like she was misinformed. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle.

Seeing the unconscious body of Vik. I made a decision. It's better to hand him over to the academy. They might get useful information from him.

Then I contacted the dean and explained to her. Surprisingly, she accepted the information without much expression on her face. 

At the end of the call, she asked me to return.

Sigh~

A soft sigh left my mouth. I just revealed some big news to her. Why didn't she seem surprised? I raised my eyebrows in confusion.

But one thing is for sure. Since the Giant Tower dared to pull up this trick. Then the academy is going to pay them back for sure.

I can already see the turbulent future in my mind.

Suddenly, a realization struck me like lightning. 

"The townspeople," I muttered to myself.

The 20 Super Elite Warriors stormed inside the little town. The death and destruction might have occurred already.

I don't know how to react for a moment. Then after calming down my turbulent heart. I rushed to the town. 

There might be some survivors. If I reach them in time, I can save them.

On the way, I sent a message to the authorities. 

A few minutes later,

I arrived in front of the town's main gate.

Seeing the dense smoke rising from many places. My expression turned ugly. With a heavy expression, I took a step inside the city.

Then I spread my consciousness to find vital signs. But the next moment, a look of disbelief appeared on my face.

Because I spotted the many warriors in my perception. But I knew they were not townsmen.

The warriors seem to be in the same place right next to each other. Apart from their presence, I didn't find them moving.

I became perplexed. Then I decided to check myself. As I approached the nearest warrior. I can confirm that there was no crying sound.

The complete silence creeps me a lot. When I got closer to the spot. I found the target under the rubble. 

When I removed the broken wooden pieces one by one. I saw the condition of the warrior. He was unconscious. 

A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. It's not easy to make him faint. Unless he came across a strong warrior other than himself.

Then my expression grew weird. I can tell apart from there was no one else in this vicinity.

I didn't disturb him, rather I moved to a different spot to check. After a few minutes, I found another warrior in the same state.

This unexplainable situation put me in a tight spot. How to explain this phenomenon to authorities? 

Then I decided to check every other spot.

Meanwhile, 

Both guardians are silently watching from the dark. They didn't come forward to explain or planned to show themselves. 

Because they already explained the situation to the dean Rebecca and she had already thought of something to convince others.

If Zack Lockwood goes back, he will be informed. 

Time passed,

I stood outside the town in daze a half an hour later. The people from the city arrived a few minutes ago.

And they started to apprehend the criminal right away. Looks like they have been informed forehand. 

Dean Rebecca must have made the arrangements. Looking back at the town, I couldn't hide my shock.

All the 20 Super Elite Warriors were found unconscious. How could this be possible? Unless someone made them unconscious.

I'm convinced of that fact. Otherwise, it's impossible to explain the current situation.

Then I put these thoughts back off my mind before moving toward the spot where the leader Vik collapsed.

A few minutes later, 

When I arrived at the spot and saw his body missing. But I didn't get flustered. I knew someone must have taken him. Which explains the situation in the town as well. 

After gaining some clarity, I started to head back to the academy. 

Meanwhile, the guardians are the ones who captured Vik alive on the dean's order. And they have done it without alerting Zack.

....

The Giant Tower Academy:

In the meeting room, everyone's expression is grave. The intelligence department elder's forehead is dripping with cold sweat. 

Just a couple of seconds ago, they heard an update from the spies hiding in Viper City.

The news is that sharp daggers members were captured alive. And the state of the leader Vik is currently unknown.

The news came as a bolt out of the blue to them. 

The elders showed a myriad of expressions. But none of them dared to voice out any opinion. Because they can see that the headmaster is controlling his anger.

As they have rightly guessed, the Giant Tower Headmaster's eyes reddened in anger. Everything was fine a moment ago.

Then what happened? He was elated when he heard Zack Lock was sent to investigate the gathering. 

On the other end, the leader Vik must have met with more than 15 Super Elite Warriors. The power of this group is not small. 

If everything goes according to the plan, then Zack Lockwood would have confronted them. 

Then if such a thing happens, it's almost inevitable that Zack Lockwood dies from their attack.

But what is he hearing right now? It's the opposite of his imagination. He can perceive elders' gazes on him.

Everyone's gaze is filled with fear.

Even the optimistic red elder was not good. His expression was filled with disappointment and anger. He looked at the intelligence department elder.

Seeing him sweating profusely. The red elder is convinced that he was not lying. 

The atmosphere was pin-drop silence.

After some time, the headmaster raised his head and ordered everyone to leave. 

Everyone breathed in relief. Some thought he would take his anger on themselves. Like someone given amnesty, the elders hurriedly vacated the meeting room.

When everyone was gone, the headmaster couldn't control his anger and immediately contacted Carlos Kent through a safe channel.

When the connection was established. He started to berate.

"Carlos Kent, what is going on?"

"You told me that everything was fine. Look what happened now. Where is the Sharp Daggers' leader Vik?"

From the other end of the call, Carlos Kent uttered a long sigh.

"Look, I'm confused here as well. From whatever I know. I guess someone tipped off the dean."

"What?"

"My plan was impeccable. Others can't know," The Giant Tower Headmaster said.

Even he had decided to proceed with the plan because of Zack Lockwood's presence. If not for him, he would have aborted it midway.

Carlos Kent was silent on the other side of the call. He didn't know how to convince the other party. He is also in pain as well.

The Giant Tower Head has promised to provide crucial resources for a breakthrough. Now that is gone as well. 

He didn't know who tipped her off. And she was swift in her action as well. Almost all of the criminals were caught in the blink of an eye.

On top of that, the brat was safe and sound. He doesn't seem to be met with any danger. 

He could tell that the other party's plan had some flaws from the beginning. Now he is finding fault with himself. 

Carlos is starting to regret making deals with unreasonable men. 

At the same time, the Giant Tower Head realized his mistake. He can use Carlos Kent to make some other plans. So there is a need to be angry with him.

Now he has to know what happened to the Sharp Daggers' leader. If he escaped somehow then it's fine. But if he was caught by their academy people, then it would spell trouble.

He knows well that a woman named Rebecca won't let it go. If she finds the incident has something to do with the Giant Tower. 

Then she will do something at the year-end conference. He can't allow such a thing to happen.

He took a deep breath before replying, "Carlos, are you there?"

"Yes," Carlos replied.

"Our deal is still valid. You just have to find the Sharp Daggers' leader and kill him. I can consider this mistake was nothing to do with you," The Giant Tower Head said.

Carlos Kent's eyes shone with bright light. He was worried that free resources were gone. But now he gladly decided to accept the request.

"Don't worry, I'll find him. After eliminating him, I'll contact you," Carlos replied.

"Wait a second."

"What about Zack Lockwood?"

"How is he doing?" The Giant Tower Head wanted to know. After hearing about the mishap, he almost forgot about the lightning brat.
