Chapter 589 Jonathan's return

?

From MC's perspective:

Dean Rebecca brought me to the place of the Supreme Elder. Countless thoughts running through my mind.

Even if I want to escape it's impossible to escape now. When we entered the place, the fog disappeared.

In front of me, a huge mansion appeared. There is a wide herbal garden before it. There are 2 people in the garden discussing something.

When the dean brought me to the garden. I suddenly felt an incredible amount of healing essence around the surroundings.

A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. Then I saw Franklin Madden. There is a pale looking old man sitting opposite him.

If I'm right he is the Supreme Elder of the academy. After my teacher and Jonathan, this is the 1st time I'm going to meet someone so strong.

Tud~

Then we landed on the ground.

"Elder?" Rebecca called out.

The old man turned his head and looked at us. When I felt his gaze. For a second,my heart froze. The old man's gaze was piercing. I couldn't help but think about the inheritance and my red skeleton.

On the other hand, the old man frowned. For a second, he wanted to see through the young man. Then he recalled Lowell's warning.

Even if the young man has some secrets. It must be rated McClain's Household. Prying on their secrets would lead to death.

Thinking about it, he took away his gaze.

While Rebecca is looking at Franklin who is carrying a flattering smile on his face. She couldn't help but feel disgusted.

Now she confirms something in her heart. The supreme elder is favoring Franklin for some reason..

Old man looked at the dean and said,"Rebecca, you can leave. I'm going to talk to this young man in private."

Rebecca was disappointed. She looked at Franklin. The world is only directed at her, not Franklin.

After nodding at Zack, she disappeared from the spot.

On the other hand, my heart was in turmoil. My only protection has gone. What are these 2 crooked people up to?

Then I saw the flame faction head looking at me with an unkind gaze.

"Ahem!"

"Your name is Zack right?" the old man asked.

Hearing that I responded with a smile.

"Yes, elder. I'm Zack Lockwood."

The old man revealed a bright smile. But I know it's a fake smile. But I can't expose him right now.

"Well, I'm good friends with your teacher. One of the reasons I have asked you to come is to meet you first. The second is about your duel against the flame faction warrior," The old man said.

Franklin is also grinning ear to ear.

Looking at both of them, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Then I answered genuinely,"If I start to accept challenges, then everyone will challenge me later. I fear that if I do that I won't get any time for practice."

A surprise glint flashes in the old man's eyes. Even Franklin Madden's expression condensed. They can't find any fault with these words.

Warriors from other factors have challenged Zack as well. And for the flame faction it's not the 1st time.

Franklin couldn't help but look at the Supreme Elder. Only he can help him at this moment. Besides, the old man was one who wanted the duel to happen badly.

They are just following his orders. While thoughts running through his mind. The old man thought of something.

"Young man, I know you are right."

"But I want you to help me with this. Some of the students are arrogant. That they can, it's not necessary to practice hard for the year end conference."

"But if you defeat them in front of everyone. Then it would reignite their ambition and they won't be wasting time here after," The old man said in a righteous tone. Like he genuinely cared for the academy.

Even Franklin was dumbfounded. He had never heard such caring words before.

On the other hand, I sneered inside. If not for Jonathan's early exposure, I would have believed in his words.

Seeing that kid is contemplating. The old man showed triumphant smile. Then he recalled the items located at the Glass City.

"Well, it's not like I'm forcing you. But if you accept to help the Academy, then I'll fetch the items for you from the Glass city," The old man added.

Hearing that a bit of surprise appeared on my face. Earlier, I thought they were making things up. But looks like the item located at the Glass is related to the lightning element.

"Yes, if you promised to help us, then we will get those items for you," Franklin added as well.

Looking at two of them I cursed inwardly. I have come this far. I don't want to tear off my face.

"Alright, elder. I'll fight. But I need that thing before the duel to improve my strength," I answered.

"You!" Franklin's face darkened. It's because they can't enter the Glass City. They have decided to come up with the solution.

They wanted to coerce Zack. But because of the Supreme Elder's words. Franklin can't say anything.

The old man wasn't offended. He thought that kid was clever and reasonable. Anyone can see that the flame faction is not having any good intentions.

"Alright, we will get that thing for before the duel. Franklin you can take him with you now," The old man said.

Hearing that Franklin grabbed my shoulder before disappearing from the spot.

The next moment, the old man's face changes drastically. It has become ugly and distorted.

"What a cunning brat?" The old man snorted. He was still dissatisfied that the little kid dared talk back to him.

The background of Lowell McClain stopped him from doing anything to do that kid.

"I hope Franklin won't disappoint me," He looked in the direction of both of their disappearance.

Meanwhile,

Franklin Madden dropped me before the dormitory.?He then left without turning back. Seeing that I chuckled.

"I guess the Glass City is not easy," I said in my heart.

Then turning around, I sent a message to the dean. She must be worrying. When I was there I could see the tense situation between her and Franklin Madden.

Then I returned to my room.

...

Meanwhile,

Somewhere at the border. Carlos Kent was hiding in a temporary basement which he had built for himself.

He thought that the Giant Tower Headmaster would chase him for a life. But nothing like that happened.

He had turned off his sci-fi watch after speaking to Jonathan. This location was given by Jonathan.

Carlos is waiting for him to appear.

"I hope I have picked up the right side," Carlos muttered to himself.

Thinking about the black squirming liquid. He shuddered. After the clash with the Giant Tower Headmaster.

Some truth was revealed to him. The Giant Tower Headmaster is not himself. He must be under the control of someone.

No wonder he wants to carry out every plan successfully. How could someone control the headmaster of one of the top 6 academies?

Gasp~

He sucked a cold breath of air. Everytime he thinks about it. It only gives him goosebumps.

"Why are you so scared?" A stern voice reached his ears all of a sudden.

Carlos Kent was stunned before recognising the voice.

"Sir. Jonathan," Then he flew out of the mansion. Then he saw a man wearing black trench coat and hat standing before him.

Seeing that Carlos' mouth twitched.

"Sir, you are late. I got exposed. Now I'm afraid, I can't go back to the academy," Carlos said in a sad tone.

Jonathan showed no emotion. But he was glad that the pawn was not destroyed. At least he can be helpful for young master Zack at early stages.

"What?"

"Are you going to let me wait outside?" Jonathan said.

"This?" Carlos caught off guard. Then both of them walked into the basement.

After sitting down, Jonathan started his professional work. He inquired about the details.

Carlos has been waiting for this whole time. So he began to speak without anything.

Jonathan was as usual calm at first without any big waves in his eyes. But when Carlos talked about insect class monsters to control people.

His expression becomes serious.

A few minutes later,

Jonathan heard everything from Carlos. He was satisfied by Carlos' work. Especially about the information on insect class monsters.

A quick gleam flashes in Jonathan's eyes.

"The Giant Tower Headmaster is controlled by someone. And the medium is insect monster," He said in his heart.

To control the ranks of SSS-Elite Warriors. The control insect must be in the same class as well.

Such monsters are only found in the inner post. If any single one of the monsters appears here, it's nothing less than that of a natural disaster.

Jonathan decides to save Zack Lockwood. He can't take chances anymore.

Then he looked at Carlos and said,"Alright, you have done a good job. I'm going to rescue Zack first. You should wait for me here."

Carlos nodded at him. He finally felt escaped from death threats.

After saying that Jonathan left the basement.
