Ancient Tears BloodLine-Chapter 678 2 Supreme Elders
Chapter 678 2 Supreme Elders
?
From MC's perspective:
Goodwill City,
After having some discussion, we left the restaurant. She started walking towards her place. While I'm striving towards the White Mansion.
Earlier, I thought about breaking the news to her. I wanted to tell her about my plans. I'll be entering the inner post after the year-end conference.
But I don't know why I stopped at the last moment. Maria's dad was not simple. I don't know whether he had told the truth to her.
So I don't want to tell her for the time being. When I go to the inner post. The Viper Academy would formally inform everyone.
Besides, Uncle James, I don't have anyone here. Soon, I reached the place and went directly to my room.
Jonathan who was staying outside found the auras of the Supreme Elders. At first, he didn't notice it. But when he decided to check all the white mansions.
He spotted the unusual auras in the camps of Silver Clouds Academy and White Palace. The aura was well hidden inside the mansion. But Jonathan was clear that they were Supreme Elders.
A quick gleam flashes in Jonathan's eyes. He can more or less guess the attitude of other academies. But he didn't have interaction with the Silver Clouds and White Palace.
"They are up to something?" Jonathan muttered to himself. Otherwise, there was no need for them to act separately.
He is not afraid. Whatever they are planning? He decided to see for himself tomorrow.
Then he left the place.
Meanwhile,
Maria Frazier returned to the White Palace's Mansion. When she entered her room. She doesn't know if someone has noticed her.
The person is none other than the Dean of the White Palace, Linda. The dean appeared at the top of the roof.
She appears to be a middle-aged woman in her forties. She was dressed in white and blue attire. She has black hair and eyes. Her skin tone was fair.
Linda knew about Maria's meeting with Zack Lockwood.
"I hope this girl won't attract the attention of the Hunter League," She muttered to herself.
Because the elder who had investigated the Hansen Academy's destruction had notified the dean.
So she knows about the incident. It's just their academy didn't have the power to offend the Giants like the Hunter League.
Now that Maria has met with Zack Lockwood. She furrowed her eyebrows. Many people knew about Viper Academy's conflict with the Hunter League.
The main reason was Zack Lockwood. She knows that a lot of eyes are staring at him. And his meeting with Maria might attract some trouble.
When she is pondering?
Swish!
An old woman with white hair appeared beside her. Her aura was well hidden. Only people above her can see through her.
Feeling the presence, Linda was startled.
"Supreme Elder, What are you doing here?" She asked.
The Supreme Elder of the White Palace is wearing similar clothes. It's just that she looks extremely old. Her name is Marlene. But people who could call by her name were not alive.
"Are you worrying about that kid?" Marlene asked.
Linda calmed down her heart before revealing her worries.
Marlene was calm and composed. She is well aware of the Frazier Clan. So the dean's worries are unnecessary.
"Don't worry about her. Her background was not simple. The hunter league won't bother her," After saying that she disappeared from the spot.
On the other hand, things happened that the Supreme Elder Marlene said. When the spies of the Hunter League local branch reported the news back to Manager Shaw in the Steel City.
He deleted the information after seeing the last name. Though he is not from the inner post. He heard of some influential names. Which was taught to him when he ascended to the position of the manager.
The names were taught so that the manager wouldn't blindly offend someone important. So the name "Frazier" was not simple.
Meanwhile,
The Silver Clouds Academy's dean and the Supreme Elder are planning something.
Both of them are wearing academy clothes which are pure white. The dean of the Silver Clouds Academy is a middle-aged man in his fifties. But his outward appearance is that of forties.
His name is Cooper. He has black hair and eyes. He is standing 6ft tall in height. Unlike the White Palace.
He is discussing with the Supreme Elder inside the study room. The Supreme Elder is an old man. But he is younger than Supreme Elder Marlene. His name is McCarthy.
"Elder, is it real?"
"That no other Supreme Elder has come to the event?" Cooper asked in an exciting tone.
A greedy glint flashes in McCarthy's eyes. Both of them are not good. They are greedy and opportunistic people.
"Harumph"
"I thought that old monsters from other academies would surely come. But I didn't find the presence of a single so far," McCarthy said with a snort.
The year-end conference has always been a place for fighting for resources. Last time, the Giant Tower Academy ranked at the top. Followed by the Eclipse Academy, the Red Moon Tower, the Silver Clouds, the Viper Academy, and the White Palace at last.
Those who ranked at the top would get the right to manage large amounts of resources in this outer post. While those who get ranked at the bottom would get what remained in the last.
The Silver Clouds Academy suffered last time. McCarthy didn't want a similar thing to happen again.
Before coming here, he has been wondering how to solve this problem. But he didn't expect to witness something like this.
There was no Supreme Elder except him. But what he didn't know was he had failed to find the aura of the Supreme Elder Marlene.
Cooper got excited. He can see some turnaround in the rankings this year.
"Supreme elder, what are you going to do?" He asked.
McCarthy revealed a cold smile on his face before saying, "Of course, we have to target the weaker ones."
"The Giant Tower, The Eclipse, and The Red Moon Tower have strong backgrounds. We can't afford to offend them," he added.
Hearing that he was not surprised. As a dean, he knows about some secret information. Some academies are just branches of the main academy in the inner post.
Offending them would be similar to offending the main branch. It's not like their Silver Clouds Academy doesn't have any connections in the inner post.
It's just their connections are weak compared to well-established academies.
On the other hand, McCarthy is thinking about targeting either Viper Academy or the White Palace. Both these academies are similar to their academy in strength and background.
He knows that the Federation is behind the Viper Academy. But he believes that the Federation won't pay attention to small matters.
As long as he doesn't cross their bottom line, he can somewhat target the Viper Academy. It's the same case with the White Palace.
The following day,
The whole city is getting ready to watch the event. Those who bought tickets have started to go to the stadium.
As the time passed, the spectators' spots slowly filled.
The people from the six academies have also left their mansion. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝑒𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Meanwhile,
At the Viper Academy side, the dean Rebecca called me again to make sure that Jonathan was there or not.
After assuring her, I joined with others. Along with the dean, we started walking to the stadium.
Soon, we reached the place. There are separate blocks built for the academies. Which is the south block. Except for the south block, all the blocks are covered with the spectator's seating.
Inside the south block, there were seats arranged separately for each academy. When we entered inside.
We saw the name of our academy. Near the Viper Academy stand, there are 25 empty seats. Seeing that Dean Rebecca led everyone to that place.
10 Elite Warriors and 10 Super Elite Warriors began to sit down one by one. Dean Rebecca sat down. There are 2 teaching staff who came here to accompany me as well.
"This block got a nice view. We can see the duel ground clearly," Laverne commented.
"It has a nice view but this place will be filled with hostile people soon," Ernest said.
Laverne immediately thought of Giant Tower Academy. Her expression turned solemn. Not only her but others are worried as well.
At this point, everyone has realized that someone is missing in their team. The person is none other than their Supreme Elder.
Which has caused some panic in their team. But Dean Rebecca assured them by saying the Supreme Elder is protecting their academy.
Hearing that everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn towards me.
Feeling the gazes of everyone. I sighed inwardly. Everyone is thinking that the Supreme Elder has stayed back because of the Hunter League threat.
But they don't know that. The Supreme Elder was already dead. Ernest and Laverne also saw the scene.
Suddenly, the dean snorted coldly. Hearing that everyone quieted down. None of them dared to voice out now.
