(From MC Perspective)
Seeing the breaking news, a small sweat beads to form on my forehead. "Northern Border, I wonder whether this force is from Crimson Hall or not. They actually breached the Northern fort." I mumbled. This is getting even more serious, I don't know what City Lord is doing. This is actually his job.
Shaking my head, I decided to not to move an inch away from the guest house. The competition is going to end in two or three days. Until then this place is a safe haven for me. The Hall Master of Star Tower is a powerful warrior. This place is under his direct protection. I don't believe anyone has the guts to barge into this place.
If I go outside there are chances that people will follow me like Darius. And I can't kill all of them. It would be too troublesome to do that. Sighing, I decide to reach out to Elder Thornton. I hope everything is alright in eastern fort. It will become dangerous if Eastern forts face the same situation.
As the call connected…
"Zack, Are you okay?" Elder Thornton's voice rang in my ears.
I can't see the holographic image, it looks like he turned off the feature.
"I'm fine Elder. I'm not brooding about that killing anymore." I answered. Elder Thornton is also aware of Darius Death. He is wondering if I might be feeling bad. But that's not the case.
Now, I'm worrying about facing Elite Warrior. It's too early for me to make such an enemy. I don't want to be helpless again.
I said, "Elder, Did you see the northern fort's breach?" After saying that I heard a deep sigh from him. Looks like he knew.
Elder Thornton asked, "Are you wondering? They might be from Crimson Hall"
"Yes," I said.
"I don't know clearly. I doubt they have the guts to do that." Elder Thornton said in disapproval. He don't think such a big faction will do something stupid. They have huge stakes, it will tarnish their reputation if such an evil comes to light.
But the news about the presence of Crimson Hall at the Northern border also troubling him. Right now there is no one at the northern fort. It will take some time for officials to reach that place and handle the situation. Until then are chances for hostile forces to secretly infiltrate into the city including the team of Crimson Hall.
It will soon lead to further chaos. He doesn't want to get involved in such a whirlpool. He hopes to return back home with Zack after two days. This is something he can't handle. Recalling Zack is on the line, he immediately said, "Zack, I'll be back in two days. Don't move away from the house until then." His voice sounded serious.
Hearing Elder Thornton's concerned voice, I nodded and ended the call after that.
I know why he sounded so concerned. It's reality that City Lord doesn't have any man power right now. He is worried that he might be dragged into this mess. "What a mess? Elder is the one who paid the registration fees for me. Now he himself got dragged into this" I spoke to myself.
Sighing, I got back to my daily essence cultivation routine.
…
Inside Star Tower Management's Meeting Hall,
The Hall Master sat behind his desk, and he is watching ongoing chaos at Northern border. Several War reporters were capturing the footage. He too had his own men on the line. It won't take a few minutes for him to collect information about this new hostile force.
"How many decades has it been since someone challenged the Stat Tower?" He spoke to himself while tapping the desk. Actually, he was too aware of the lack of manpower. But still he was somewhat disappointed in City Lord Garry. Instead of Strengthening the border. He stationed his Elite Warrior in different places.
And right now, the northern fort is breached. There are still two days left until the end of the tournament. Then the Elite Warriors who came to assist eventually left. He can't ask them anymore to risk their lives and fight against the hostile forces.
"Ding!" Suddenly an alarm rang out.
He switched to see what the reason for the alarm was.
[Breaking News: The Southern Fort is breached.]
[Breaking News: The Southern Fort is breached.]
"What?" He was taken back after seeing the news. He stood up in anger and began to read further reports. The Western Fort is breached by new hostile forces. The hostile force consists of Twenty members. He isn't sure how many elite members there are. But their Elite Warrior teamed up and killed the Southern Fort Protector.
The Southern Fort Protector is none other than the Star Tower Elder. For a moment, he thought it's necessary to kill these forces. It's been decades since such things have happened. Star Tower needs to teach them a lesson. They had finally crossed the border line by killing Star tower Elder. If they don't do some killing now, these hostile forces will remain arrogant.
He calmed down his heart for a moment. He sat back in his seat and began to plan his next move.
He immediately called a number.
As the call connected…
"Mr. Chris, I need your assistance at West Word City Right now." The Hall Master said.
From the other side of the call, a solemn voice answered the call, "What is it? Hall Master. Is there any problem?"
Then the Hall Master described current chaos happening at the West Word City. From Start to finish he didn't leave anything out. After finished saying his words, he hoped for a positive answer from Mr. Chris. Only he is able to solve the current turmoil in time.
Mr. Chris holds one of the high level positions in Parazam Hunter league. Like Star Tower, Parazam Hunter league is also one of the biggest forces in the region. Most importantly, which is also one of the nearest forces here. He needs their assistance right now. Otherwise it will be too late. He doesn't worry about Star Tower, rather he doesn't like needless bloodshed.
If the Parazam Hunter league helps now, it will be a lot easier for them to kill these hostile forces soon.
Mr. Chris answered, "Hall Master, This is something in need to discuss with others. I'll contact you later" After saying that Mr. Chris ended the call. He too knows the ongoing situation in Westword city. But he didn't take it too seriously. He thought the Hall Master had some back up plan for this situation.
But right now looking at his words, it seems things have gotten out of hand. He feels rather strange. He understands the situation of the Hall Master. But don't expect so many forces to move. First he needs to make sure there are no forces under their organisation responsible for this situation. Otherwise, relationships between Parazam Hunter league and Star Tower will worsen later.
Soon, he contacted the intelligence department for this matter. "Mr. Howard, are there any of our subsidiary forces near the West word city. If it is then send me the name list as soon as possible. " After instructing him he ended the call.
Mr. Chris didn't contact other Elders about the Hall Master's request. He plans to do that after confirming the intelligence department's report. While tapping the desk, he patiently waited for the report to arrive. The intelligence department doesn't need to collect the new data. They already have an intelligence report filled in the database. Right now they only need to sort out and hand it over to Mr. Chris.
A ten minutes later, Mr. Howard sent the report to Mr. Chris's contact.
"Ding!"
Mr. Chris let out a deep sigh after reading the report. There are no subsidiary forces of the Parazam hunter league involved in such infiltration. Right now they have a good opportunity to help Star Tower. In this way they can reap huge benefits later. Thinking about it an exciting glint flashes before his eyes.
Next moment, after confirming the report once again. He called for an emergency meeting. The upper echelons only need ten minutes to assemble in a virtual meeting. It is impossible to arrange an in -person meeting at short notice. The Virtual meeting is enough to decide on this matter.
Soon, 15 elders assembled for the meeting in virtual form. Rest of the elders including Mr. Chris attended the meeting in person.
As everyone gathered for the meeting, Mr. Chris opened his mouth to discuss the topic. He briefed the conversation between the Hall Master and Himself.
The atmosphere becomes quiet after listening to Mr. Chris's words. All the elders begin to weigh down the situation. The Elders don't know whether it is good for them to interfere on this matter.
Mr. Chris saw their silence then he displayed Howard's intelligence report on the screen. There is no disadvantage for the Parazam Hunter league in this situation. Rather, it will help further strengthen the ties between them and Star Tower.
