Tier-7 Baguva City,
When Zack and Thornton disappeared from his sight, Ricardo Compton immediately left the place. He had already parked his car earlier.
It is another model of air car. Mostly used by civilians.
After getting inside the car, he decided to go home first. The next second, the air car rose from the parking lot and flew towards the destination.
While driving, he began to contemplate. He knows some of his team members are busy. Before Thornton came with Zack. He already spoke with his team members about Zack's arrival.
But the conversation didn't go as he had expected. It took him some time to convince them. From that conversation alone, he understands certain things.
There is the possibility that his team members will make things difficult for Zack. Some might behave rudely to him, while others might test his combat strength.
Anyway, after getting a warning from Thornton. He knows what to do next. He has two things on his mind. First, it was obvious that his team members might cause trouble. So he will take care of it.
The second thing in his mind was something different. It's about Zack's current strength. Though Zack's Mid-level Special Trainee level is impressive. He can protect his own life from danger in Trunulesia Forest.
But he still feels it's not enough. Considering the recent increase in the concentration of weird energy in that forest. He feels there might be unexpected changes in the coming days.
So he is not 100% sure that Zack can protect himself with his Special Trainee cultivation base. Since he has promised Thornton that he will take care of Zack.
He needs to act on it. That's why he thought about providing something to Zack. Which can quickly raise his cultivation base to the Trainee Warrior level.
When that happens, it will be easier for Zack to mingle with his group. On top of it, he doesn't have to worry about Zack's safety at all.
So all of this comes to personal strength. In the next second, a quick glint flashes in his eyes as he remembers something.
Earlier, when he asked about Zack's element. Thornton dodged his question and began to talk about some other topic. So he didn't know about Zack's element.
If he knows the element it will be easier for him to select the suitable treasure for Zack. He felt it would be better for Zack to rise his cultivation base before he meets with his team members.
Various thoughts appeared in Compton's mind.
It's been a long since he had worried about something other than his work. It's because of Zack's background. At his level, it's impossible to come in contact with such people.
Thanks to Thornton this is the first time he had a chance to meet someone related to such powerful existences. This gives him the best opportunity to create a good impression.
Who knows? In future, he might get the returns from Zack. Compton made up his mind to select good treasure as an investment. He also knows some other things from Thornton.
Like Crimson Hall's competition. Thornton's Hansen Institute is facing trouble because of Crimson Hall.
And when it comes to forces like Crimson Hall, he knows this is the hot topic trending these days. Those academic people from Tier-6 cities will only select candidates with good talent and base.
So Zack's current strength is pale in comparison when it comes to their Tier-7 city warrior. He feels Zack will remember his help for sure. If he becomes a Trainee Warrior, he can get to choose a good academy.
After ten minutes, he slowly landed the air car in the parking lot in front of his private villa.
When the air car came to a complete halt, he stepped out of the car. No one lives in this private villa other than him. He doesn't even have assistants and bodyguards.
The security around this community is so strong that he doesn't need warriors in his house.
The Villa was built in Mediterranean style. The architecture looked elegant and beautiful. After opening the front door, he stepped inside.
The first Compton did was go to the underground basement. Where his secret vault is located. The entrance to the basement is located in his bedroom.
After arriving at the bedroom, he walked up to the lamp. This lamp looked like antique peace but it has another function. When he arrived in front of the lamp, he used his sci-fi watch to activate it.
Beep!
When the sound came, the lamp lit up with bright light. The next second, Compton proceed to type some access code in his watch.
"Creak"
A secret door to the basement was revealed on the ground. The next second the door opened automatically. Seeing that, Compton took steps to walk downstairs to the secret vault.
When he walked downstairs the light lit up automatically making the entire basement room bright.
In the centre of the room, there is a big metallic storage vault can be seen. The height of the storage vault is twice the size of Compton.
Like another storage vault, this storage vault also has a safety mechanism. Compton immediately began to enter the code after arriving in front of it. It's been a long since he had time to check his collections.
Apart from consumable treasures, he also had antique collections. The next second, the vault opens.
He began to observe each item one by one. His eyes began to move from one item to another. Since he doesn't know Zack's element. He decided to give him the treasure with no attribute.
Usually, the treasure with no attributes has abundant world energy. Any elemental warrior can consume the world's energy treasures and use them to improve his strength.
Even the bloodline warriors can gain strength from world energy treasures. So he is quite sure that world energy treasure will be helpful for Zack.
Inside the vault, items are shining in a different light. Some shone with fiery red colour which is for fire elemental warriors. And some have blue colour light in them.
Finally, his gaze land on the world's energy treasure.
"Red Heart Peach," he muttered as his gazes fell on the crimson colour treasure inside the transparent glass.
The elemental treasures are usually graded in levels corresponding to the warrior cultivation base. Like most of the treasures in this vault are useful for Elite and Super Elite Warriors.
But this Red Heart Peach is a little different. It's an Elite level treasure. If any elite warrior uses it, the treasure will only assist them in breakthrough. In most cases, Elite Warrior can rise one small level in their base successfully.
He also had thought about using it. But he prefers elemental treasures usually. He just bought this world energy treasure for emergency use.
"I guess this Red heart peach is enough for Zack to reach Trainee Warrior level," Compton thought to himself.
Elite-level resources are not easy to come around. Especially, the world energy varieties. He hopes that Zack will remember his favour.
Then he carefully picks up the treasure from the glass container. After storing the red heart peach inside the storage ring, he closed the vault.
Beep!
The next second, his sci-fi watch buzzes with notification.
After closing the vault, he began to read the message. The message was from his team members in the chat groups. They are discussing the meeting.
Seeing that, his lips swept into arcs. Because the topic of their discussion is about the new team member.
[Hey, where is our leader?]
[The old man went to receive the guests.]
[Ha...Ha....Ha...]
[Tck, the old leader appointed outsider instead of my cousin's son]
The chat was filled with ridicule and displeasure about the new member who is going to join.
Seeing that, Compton furrowed his eyebrows. He didn't give a reply to any of that messages. Because he had expected something like this from them. Then after closing the watch, he decided to leave.
...
(From MC's perspective)
I never thought Elder Thornton will lead me toward the biggest shopping complex in this city. And I have never seen such a magnificent building before.
Even around the Star Tower Zone, there is no such building exists. After appreciating the view of the building, I entered the building alongside Elder Thornton.
Time passed,
By the time we walked out of the building, Elder Thornton received a call from Elder Thornton. I guess it must be from elder Compton. After five-ten minutes, I saw a familiar air car in the sky.
I remember this air car from that centre. When I was pondering, the air car landed in front of us. Elder Compton stepped out of the air car the next second.
Seeing that, I was startled for a moment. No wonder the air car looked familiar. It was his air car. Then Elder Thornton and I entered the air car. I guess Elder Compton finally took me to visit his team.
I don't know why? have a vague feeling in my heart that the meeting is not going to be fruitful. But I calmed down my heart the next second.
