Chapter 535 Taking Rest

?

The Giant Tower Academy was alarmed. They don't know what happened. But all the powerhouses appeared in the meeting room.

Seeing the expression of the Giant Tower Headmaster. Expression of everyone turned pale with fright. 

What happened? The Headmaster looked hideous. After feeling the presence of everyone, he regained his trace of sanity. 

The BedRock City Plan's failure caused a huge blow to him. But he decided to ponder this later.

Now that everyone's here. He needs to hide this matter. Then he saw the intelligence department elder collapse on the ground. His eyes grew cold. 

Because this elder heard the name, Carlos. If it spreads outside, it's not good for him and his plans. 

"Come here, take this piece of sh!t out. He dares to attack me. Abolish his base and lock him up in the prison, " He shouted at nearby elders.

Gasp~

Some of the elders exclaimed, especially those who have a good connection with the intelligence department elders. They feel something wrong.

But the Headmaster's appearance made them afraid. So none of them dare to step forward. They can only watch the elder being dragged away by someone.

"Harumph, "The Headmaster gave a cold snort. He knows the thoughts of these people. Since the evidence is eliminated. He is not afraid anymore.

After taking a glance at everyone, he turned to walk towards his room.

This may look like a small episode. But the rest of the elders knew the headmaster was hiding something. 

One of them was more curious. He is none other than the red elder. "What is he doing?" He said to himself.

He can see that the headmaster is not himself these days. There are a lot of dissatisfied voices increasing in the academy.

The gathering incident mishap bled their foundation heavily. From that incident, the state of the headmaster is not right.

Is it related to that lightning kid? The red elder couldn't help but click his tongue. If it's true then he certainly wants to hear about his death. 

...

Meanwhile,

Carlos Kent was in his house. Surprisingly, his house is located in Viper City. He didn't expect to come back to this place.

Because he usually spends time in seclusion back in the Academy. But now he doesn't dare. He doesn't know what the wicked women do later.

It's best to operate from here until things settle down. He feels glad that he doesn't leave behind any evidence. If she had evidence, things would have taken a different turn.

He is even half-step SSS Elite Water. He is nothing but an ant in front of the supreme elder. Thinking about his existence he broke out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, the Giant Tower didn't ask him to do anything excessively. Sending the target for a mission outside was the big help he could do to them.

But shortly after he was contacted by someone. He was a familiar person.

Carlos Kent's expression turned ugly. His heart was boiling in anger. Because the Giant Tower failed again to kill the target. 

And the bedrock city was the perfect opportunity. Now they have missed it again.

Carlos feels dissatisfied because as long as they fail they won't give him any resources. And he would be working for free.

But after calming down his heart. He decided to attend. When the connection is established. 

"Carlos?"

A dull voice reached his ears.

"Headmaster, what happened?"Carlos Kent asked, despite knowing the result. Because he doesn't know the mood of the headmaster.

There was a long silence after his question.

But don't know why? Carlos feels bad.

"Carlos, don't you want to break through?" a sudden question awakened him awake.

"What do you mean by this headmaster? You promised me earlier," Carlos asked back in a dissatisfied tone. 

His voice cracked. Which is enough to show his suppressed anger. The Giant Tower Academy used him. 

But he agreed to them because of their resources. Now he doesn't know what's wrong with the other party. He is backtracking all of a sudden.

"Carlos, can you kill Zack Lockwood yourself?" The Giant Tower Headmaster asked.

But his words fell like thunderclaps in his ears.

"Are you mad?" 

'Do you think I will sacrifice my life for resources?'

"Forget about insane women. There is still a supreme elder above her. All she needs to wave her hand to kill me," Carlos Kent fiercely retorted.

He thinks something is wrong with the Headmaster. He just escaped from that woman. 

If he goes back and kills that brat, then she won't need any evidence to judge me. Before coming here, she warned me. 

"I know what you are worried about?" 

"But if you kill Zack Lockwood, not only we will give breakthrough resources. We are also ready to give resources for small stages," The Giant Tower Headmaster.

Silence~

Carlos Kent's heart set off storms. His heart is beating faster. "He lost his mind?" He said in his heart. 

But his mouth curved into an arc a few seconds later. 

"I will kill that brat Zack. But you have to give me resources for a breakthrough forest," Carlos replied.

He already worked for them for free. And it's not his fault for their failure. And this time he won't take big steps without resources in his hands.

"No way!" The headmaster said. But a hint of anger can be seen in his tone.

Carlos Kent smiled. He said, "Then I won't move. And Let me tell you one thing, the dean of our academy has already become alerted."

"She won't send that brat outside without assigning any guardians. If she does then your academy can't take action."

"Unless you are ready to pay a bigger price," Carlos Kent added further. He is not bluffing. He knows that the academy will take steps to provide protection.

He remembered. The dean was extra protective over Zack. So she will arrange guardians next time.

There was no response from the other end of the call. But Carlos knows the headmaster might be considering his options.

"Okay, the resources will reach you within a few days," After saying that the Giant Headmaster ended his call.

"Ha...Ha....Ha...," He laughed out loud. 

He didn't expect things to go in his favor. Next, he needs to plan clearly. How to kill that kid without alerting the supreme elder? 

Because he was not afraid of the dean. Once he breakthroughs, he will be at her level. She won't be able to pose a threat to him.

...

From MC's perspective:

The aircraft enters the academy silently. When the aircraft landed on the ground. Three of us stepped out one by one.

None of our faces are looking good. The tiredness is still there. Then we parted ways from here. 

A few minutes later,

I entered my dorm room. But the wave of tiredness hit me. Then I lay down on my bed to take a rest.

The following day,

I woke up earlier. After completing my morning routine, I simply sat down on the sofa. I'm not in the mood to practice. 

Yesterday's events are still lingering in my mind. Last day itself, I wanted to meet her. Because of the tiredness, I spent the rest of the day resting. 

But I believe most of the exhaustion was related to mental. After calming down my heart, I decided to look into some news.

A few hours later,

I went to the dining hall to have breakfast. Ernest and Laverne are waiting for me at the entrance.

"Are you guys alright?" I asked.

The complexion of both looked good. They seemed to have recovered fully after yesterday's event. 

"We both are fine. What about you?" Ernest asked.

"I took a good rest last night," I replied to them.

Then we walked back to the dining hall. When we walked to receive the food plate. We overheard the conversation. 

Everyone is talking about the bedrock city. Hearing that my eyes flickered slightly. I wonder whether the identity of us leaked or not.

After receiving the food plate, we sat down in a nearby seat. While we were eating, Ernest opened the topic.

"Zack, do you know something?" He asked. 

"What?" I asked back.

Laverne seems to know something as well.

"You won't believe it. Our faction head was thrashed by our dean," Ernest said.

Disbelief appeared on my face. 

"How?" I asked.

Then Ernest slowly explained what he had heard from others. 

After a few minutes, my mouth curved into an arc. The dean is not partial at all. I thought it was difficult to convince her. 

But looks like she must have caught something. 

"Do you think it's because of our mission yesterday?" Laverne asked.

I nodded my head and added, "It's probably true. Unless there is no reason for her to act in this way."

"The Special Faction Head is hiding something," I uttered in a low voice.

Laverne unconsciously released her ice element. Seeing that we immediately alerted her.

"Oops, sorry."

"But I don't like our faction head. He doesn't seem to care about us at all," Laverne said.

I sighed inwardly. Even she can see through this. The dean must know something.
