Chapter 523 Part 2: Giant Tower's Scheme



The Sharp Daggers Leader Vik met with his organization member. The number of warriors who returned are 20 in numbers.

The number was not big but considering their current situation. He calmed down his heart.

But he knows that he is not planning for rebuilding the Sharp Daggers again. And he is not sure about Giant Tower's plan again.

When he was lost in thoughts. He received a message all of a sudden. After reading the message, all the doubts in his heart were cleared.

"Giant Tower wants me to attack one of the towns nearby," He mumbled under his breath.

But his expression turned ugly. It's simply an act of stepping on a tiger's tail. Apart from the instruction, he didn't receive further messages.

But he can tell that Giant Tower wants him to attract the attention of the Viper City. If it's a single operation, he is okay with it. But he doesn't know whether he will receive follow up messages.

Sigh~

A soft sigh left his mouth. He can't act arrogantly anymore. Since his life is tied up with Giant Tower. He is now reduced to one of their lowly members.

All of this because of one person. Recalling the past events, his eyes reddened in anger. He swore to himself when he saw Zack Lockwood. 

He would do anything to kill him. 

Then Vik turned his attention to his members. He then instructed them to follow him to the nearest village.

The members below are not naive. They know that they are going to do some action. Instead of fear, everyone is looking forward to it. 

They are going to vent their anger. So killing intents radiated from their body.

The movement was so big. The 20 or so super elite warriors are following the lead of their leader Vik.

If such action was done near the city, then it would soon attract a lot of eyes.

Meanwhile,

The Giant Tower Academy:

The Giant Tower headmaster is discussing with elders. Their topic of discussion is Viper City. The instructor to Vik was done by his order.

But other elders in the meeting rooms were confused. After a long time, they got such a pawn in their enemy's jurisdiction. 

They can do a lot with him. But the Headmaster has given such unreasonable instruction. 

Including the intelligence department, elders and other elders are well aware of the Saw Scale Viper Academy's thundering response a few weeks ago.

The Faction Head of theirs took action personally. Including the infamous Carlos Kent went after Sharp Dagger remnants.

It was a miracle that the Sharp Daggers leader escaped from his clutches. He then sought asylum with them. 

So such a pawn must be used carefully. 

The headmaster clearly saw the dissatisfaction on their faces. 

But he shook his head in disappointment. Everyone forgot about the important reason. The reason he is using Vik was to attack Zack Lockwood.

That person is like a turtle hiding in the academy all daylong. He doesn't seem to take missions as well. 

From this alone he can tell how the Saw Scale Viper Academy is doting on him. At first, he thought about hiding Vik as well.

But as the days went by, he saw no option of luring Zack Lockwood out. If that kid left just like that, he would definitely become a scourge. 

There is also a year end conference. Keeping in mind, he doesn't want to give any opportunity to grow. 

At the same time, the constant murmurs of elders reached his ears.

He came back to reality and uttered,"Silence."

His words filled with authority swept away the room. 

Gasp~

The elders were surprised by the sudden interruption. Especially those who with dissatisfied voices became quiet all of a sudden.

"I know some of you are confused by my decision,"The headmaster said.

"But right now, I want the demise of their young genius, Zack Lockwood," He added further.

Gasp~

Surprised gasps left some of their mouths. 

Among the elders, the one with red hair revealed killing intent in his eyes. He is none other than the elder red. 

He had led the Giant Tower warriors to participate in a student exchange meeting. 

But unfortunately they returned defeated back to the academy. Their students suffered defeat at hands of newcomer Zack Lockwood.

He didn't even forget the humiliation he had suffered from the trip. The Red Elder still remembers the smug smile of Flame Faction Head. 

Before anyone could speak, he asked,"Headmaster, do you want to use that person to kill Zack Lockwood?"

Unlike other elders, he knew some inside information. So he is sure that head is targeting that lightning brat.

Not only the head, he himself doesn't want to leave such a threat. He had personally witnessed the duel.

The lightning brat can fight across ranks.

The headmaster revealed a small smile on his face. Among the elders, only the red elder was able to see his intention.

Hearing the red elder's question, the rest of them also perked up their ears to listen.

"The red elder is right. I'm indeed using that mediocre to cause some disturbance. Sooner or later, that lightning kid will die under his hands."

"Ha...Ha...Ha....," After saying that he let out a laugh.

The elders looked at each other. Again the headmaster using puzzling words. He didn't tell them how it was going to happen. 

The red elder frowned. He can see that their head is deliberately hiding the information. And he doesn't want to sound rude by asking him back.

The Giant Tower head saw through their doubts. But he is not going to tell them. 

Everyone knows that Giant Tower Academy and Saw Scale Viper Academy are enemies. 

But little did they know that he had personal connections with one of their faction heads.

That too he had connections with the Special Faction Head, Carlos Kent. Earlier, he had trouble solving the lightning nearby.

But after Carlos Kent's return and the Sharp daggers leader Vik's request. Everything fell into one piece.

He just had to convince another party with a huge reward in compensation. Now he knows that lightning kid has left the academy. 

And he is on the way to the gathering.

Hereafter the sharp daggers' leader has to finish him later. The reason he didn't break the news to him was because. He doesn't want any mishap to happen.

If the information is leaked, then it will become even more difficult to lure the kid out. 

He knows that Carlos will demand even more sum from him. So he is currently looking forward to the developments.

...

From MC's perspective:

When I got closer to the suspected location. I spotted several dots in my perception moving forward. 

It's not one or two people. The number seems to be more than 10. After confirming it, my eyes grew cold.

If my assumption is right, they seem to be sharp daggers. Then all of them must be Super Elite Warriors.

When the realization hit me. A trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. I'm not going to confront this mob group. 

All of them are Super Elite Warriors. So fighting all of them would be a stupid decision. But I couldn't help but feel curious about their destination.

They seemed to be going somewhere.

Suddenly, I remembered the faction head's words. He wanted me to collect intel. If there was a danger, I can return back to the academy.

Meanwhile,

The guardians hiding in the shadows also observed the situation. But they are undecided about whether to take action or not.

At the same time, I started to move. Though I know the dangers that await me. But it's impossible to go back without collecting intel.

10 minutes later,

After following them for some time, I saw them stopping in front of a small town. Seeing that my expression grew darker. 

At the same time, a bad premonition hit me.

"They are going to do something," I mumbled under my breath.

Then I saw them jointly attacking the town. This sudden change caught me off guard.

"How dare they launch an attack on the town?" I said to myself.

Swoosh~

Unknowingly, I rushed forward. I know I'm making stupid mistakes. But at least I have to take down the leader. 

The leader's death will cause panic among the group. Only in this way, I can deter them.

Meanwhile,

The guardians hiding in the shadows started to make a move. They quickly reached the town without alerting the group. Nobody knows such a power house near them.

The Guardians immediately took care of weak, sickly, elderly, women and children. 

The people only felt going blank. The guardians made them unconscious. They left the grown up men for a reason.

They want to see Zack's action before making any decision. If they feel Zack is in danger, then they will wipe out the hostile group.

Meanwhile, 

The leader Vik is watching the destruction of the shops with a cruel smile on his face.

Seeing that sudden attack on town. Some stationed warriors came to retaliate. But Vik revealed an evil grin on his face.

Nobody is going to save the town today.
