Chapter 533 Interrogation

?

From MC's perspective:

With the help of local forces, the rogue warriors were captured. Seeing that I couldn't wait to interrogate them.

But before that, Ernest and Laverne have to recover. They suffered a lot more than me. 

After some time, Laverne opened her eyes after recovering somewhat. To recover fully, she has to get back to the academy.

Shortly after, Ernest showed a better complexion after consuming those pills. 

Seeing that a hint of relief flashes in my eyes. At the same time, more than 30 rogue warriors are gathered in the square. They were all captured and waiting for the punishment.

Suddenly, the boss of one of the local forces approached. He was the same one who gave timely help.

After recognizing him, I ease down my eyebrows.

"Young warrior, what should we do next?" The middle-aged man asked. He was none other than the current owner of the blue leaf inn.

Hearing his words, my eyes grew cold.

"Interrogate everyone. I want to know everything," I answered.

"Alright, we will find out the reason for their attack," After saying that the blue leaf boss left the place.

But all the 30 rogue warriors shuddered in fear. 

Seeing that I shook my head before turning towards my team members.

At this time, both Ernest and Laverne stood up from the ground.

"What should we do next?" I asked.

Ernest and Laverne looked at each other.

Ernest said, "We should go back right now. There is a lot of unrest right now. Nobody knows what will happen next?"

"Yes, even the local forces are clueless. It's better to leave before something big happens," Laverne added further.

But my gaze was set on the square. Looking at the rogue warriors, they don't seem to be the accomplice of the mission target.

It's impossible for so many rogue warriors because of one person. So their actions are completely different. Someone is behind them.

After gaining some clarity, I decided to leave after getting the information. 

"Senior brother"

"Senior sister"

"You guys should go back. I will return later," I said to them.

"What?"

"Are you nuts?"

"You don't even have an essence. How are you going to fight?" Laverne scolded.

Ernest frowned as well. He asked, "What are you going to do?"

Hearing that I told them about the interrogation.

Ernest said, 'It's just interrogation. It won't take much time. We can leave after 2 hours. In the meantime, I'll try to recover my essence.'

Laverne agreed with his suggestion. And I don't have any problem as well.

One hour later,

Inside the blue leaf inn's private room. Three of us sitting together. Before us, the blue leaf inn owner brought us the information. 

"Young warriors, we didn't fail you," After saying that the middle-aged sent us audio and video clippings of different rogue warriors' confessions.

I immediately listened to the audio. Ernest and Laverne perked up their ears as well. I didn't mind the presence of the middle-aged man. He must have heard it during the interrogation.

10 minutes later,

Ernest and Laverne turned their gazes toward me. Including the middle-aged man.

"Brother, who is targeting you?" Ernest asked. A worry can be seen on his face. Because what they just heard is not small news. 

The rogue warriors accepted a killing task. And their target is Zack Lockwood. But the identity of the task issuer is unknown. It can't be traced back.

Because the reward for accomplishing the task was so generous. The rogue warriors couldn't help but be tempted. Because the rewards included several high-grade pills and mid-grade artifacts. 

Which is something that can be bought with money. But the rogue warriors didn't have such wealth. So they used the lifetime opportunity to try to complete the task.

But because of the local forces' thundering response. The rogue warriors' plan was spoiled in time.

Meanwhile, 

I remained silent to Ernest's question. But my heart was not calm. This was the 3rd time outside of the academy that someone plotted against me.

Ernest and Laverne both of them didn't realize that the current situation has a lot to do with Carlos Kent's mission. 

He had purposely sent us here. And right after, we faced a mob attack. A cold shiver went down my spine.

We were lucky. Most of the rogue warriors are at the Super Elite Stage. So I was able to stop them by using my body strength. 

Ernest and Laverne did better as well. As they are also Super Elite Warriors. But I can't imagine what will happen. If SS-Elite rogue warriors made an entrance.

I dare not to imagine any resistance. 

"Zack?"

"Are you lost in thoughts again?" Laverne's words brought me back to reality.

I looked at three of them before saying, "We should leave."

Laverne let out a deep sigh. She felt the news must have given a huge shock to Zack. She also thinks it's good to leave.

Ernest didn't say anything. He already formed some assumptions in his heart. It's normal for genius warriors from the academy to get targeted.

He felt someone didn't like the existence of the lightning warrior. So they used their fortunes to put a target over Zack's head.

"Ahem, young warrior?" The blue lead boss said. He also heard the recorded voice. His back was already drenched in sweat.

He now knows that someone wanted to use their bedrock city as their stage to complete their mission.

Fortunately, nothing happened to the young warrior.

At the same time, I stood up from the seat and looked at the blue lead boss.

"Thank you for your help. If you need anything, you can contact me. I'll also request the dean to reward you and other helpers," After saying that, I shared my contact information with him.

The blue lead boss was ecstatic. A bright smile appeared on his face. He knows the identity of the young warrior. A rare special element user. A lightning elemental warrior. 

They have read it only in books before. But now helping and getting contact information from such a person. He felt glad. And his mother won't scold him anymore.

Not only that he can gain huge respect comparable to the seat of elders. 

At the same time, I watched the middle-aged man mutter to himself.

"Cough"

I coughed to bring back his attention. 

"Young warrior," The blue lead boss embarrassingly said.

"We are leaving," After saying that, I walked to the exit. Laverne and Ernest followed behind.

The blue leaf boss stood in the same place in a daze. He still has not recovered from the shock.

A few minutes later,

The aircraft from the academy lands on the platform. Three of us boarded the aircraft without much talk.

The aircraft takes off a few seconds later.

The journey will take time. So three of us entered our separate rooms to rest. 

Meanwhile, the guardians hiding in the shadows saw everything. Unlike Ernest and Laverne, they already guessed who was behind Zack's bounty.

The Giant Tower had made such a rich offer before. Because of that Sharp daggers force fell. Their greed led to their disaster. 

Now again the group of rogue warriors lost their lives because of greed. But the guardians are surprised by the Giant Tower's action this time.

After the Viper City's spies and the sharp daggers incident. Both the guardians expected the Giant tower to stay low.

Because their plot was exposed. A lot of evidence is available against them. It will be a matter of time before the dean takes action against them.

They thought she would do something during the year-end conference. But the Giant Tower didn't give up its target. A seriousness appears on both the guardians' faces.

The Giant Tower seems to not give up. They are serious about killing Zack Lockwood. And the current incident can tell their intent. 

Both are aware only the dean can do something about it.

...

Saw Scale Viper Academy:

Dean Rebecca saw everything in holographic projection. Because of the guardians' presence, she was not worried about their safety. 

But she appreciated Zack, Ernest, and Laverne's courage. Three of them faced the mob attack head-on.

When she saw Zack getting injured. Her heart skipped a beat. But somehow Zack Lockwood managed to hold on. 

In the process, he was able to kill a few rogue warriors by relying on his physique. She knew Zack's physique was abnormal. 

But this time Zack's body strength opened her eyes. She knows that rogue warriors are at the Super Elite Stage. 

That's why Zack's strength brought her quite a shock. But she won't ask him about his secrets. 

For Zack's insane performance, she thought his teacher was the reason. Talking about the teacher, her expression grew cold. 

"Carlos Kent?" She muttered to herself.

Swoosh~

The next second, she disappears from the spot and appears in Carlos Kent's office.

With her appearance, powerful physical coercion was released from her body. 

Carlos Kent was caught off guard. The powerful coercion made him bend his knees. 

"Dean?"

"What are you doing?" He uttered in fear.

The pressure destroyed the room by sweeping away the items, gadgets, and files.

Such a sudden movement caused alarm in the building.
