BXBX NOVEL Chapter 156 - Part One: New Drill
On the other hand, Observing the Sworn Brothers duo walk away. Hutson chuckled. Then he moved on to his injured underlying. "You two, take your time healing yourself; we have a mission to complete tomorrow morning." With solemnity, he said.
His underlying nodded at him when he heard that. And the trio walked away from this location, intending to return tomorrow. "I don\'t think that brat is going to leave his house tomorrow." Hutson murmured to himself. He had gathered all of the necessary information for this mission.
He also had his men stationed near the Hansen Training Centre. According to the information, brat spends the majority of his time in that Centre. He has no idea why that brat did not leave his house. He does, however, hope to confront him tomorrow and complete the mission as soon as possible.
Otherwise, more and more people would come here, increasing competition. He didn\'t want something like this to happen. A vicious glint appeared in his mind after he had sorted out his thoughts.
On the other hand, Seeing the sworn brothers, Ieft the location. "Strong preys on weak!" Elder Thornton said as he shook his head. He then fixed his gaze on Huston and his underlying. Seeing the trio leave this location.
Elder Thornton sighed inwardly. "Why would I think that this assassination attempt on him would become Zack\'s new training routine?" Elder Thornton reflected to himself. The more he thought about it, the more perplexed he became. After realising that, it\'s possible that it\'s true. He smiled wryly on the inside. Elder Thornton then vanishes and reappears above the attic in a split second.
This time, he carefully concealed his air. "I don\'t think James would sense me this time," Elder Thornton thought to himself. He searches the area for other assassins, but all he finds are rogue warriors. He doesn\'t want to squander any of his breath on them.
Then he got a phone call from Mr. Arthur Emerson. Elder Thornton gave him the order to eliminate any assassin warriors above Special Trainee Warrior once he had more concrete information. Elder Thornton then waited for the next day with bated breath.
...
<<Zack\'s Perspective>>
Inside Zack\'s room the next day. Zack done with his morning routine and now ready to leave the house and go to the Hansen Training Centre.
After I put on my dress, I carefully examined myself in the mirror. "Today will be a more difficult day; I hope I don\'t run into any lunatics." In my heart, I was confident.
I told Uncle about my teacher\'s plan yesterday. After hearing everything I had to say. Uncle James was more at ease. His concern vanished in an instant. Then Uncle James informed me of the teacher\'s intention.
I should hone my skills by battling warriors of a higher level. This period of time would be extremely beneficial to my battling abilities. Later, I was able to perform much better in the Crimson Hall Event with it. After finishing breakfast, I left the house a few minutes later.
Uncle James initially wanted to accompany me. But I politely declined. I don\'t believe anyone would attack me in broad daylight. Unless, of course, they were desperate.
...
As Zack walked away from his house and down the path. As a result, they look like water ripples. People who had come here on a bounty mission began to move. There were only a few people, and the majority of them wished to be in a fortunate situation. While others came here based on their own strength.
They began to slowly follow Zack among them, and Huston began to move at a steady pace. He looked around at other lower level warriors as he followed Zack. The fearful weak warriors who met his gaze ducked away. Some of them came to a complete stop. Zack was aware of the entire situation unfolding around him. Even if he is aware, he is unconcerned.
...
Elder Thornton, on the other hand, opened his eyes. He could already feel Zack\'s movement. He follows Zack with a slight smile on his face, intending to keep a safe distance from him. Unless the situation is dire. He\'s not going to appear in front of Zack.
While following, he witnesses some minor drama unfold as a result of Zack. "I\'m curious what will happen if they see each other." He muttered something under his breath. He knows from yesterday\'s event that this rogue named Hutson is no pushover. So he\'s curious to see how Zack would handle this situation.
Suddenly, Elder Thornton\'s pupils constricted as he travelled, sensing a powerful aura. "It\'s higher than Special Trainee Warrior." He muttered something under his breath. When he realised this, he came to a halt and looked around.
He follows the aura to see where it comes from. He discovered three people waiting for Zack. They were near the air cab taxi, which Zack always takes to get to White Snow City Station. Elder Thornton vanishes from his position as he realises this. To kill Zack, these three people only need to carry out a single attack. Elder Thornton decides to kill them after realising this.
On the opposite side, close to the air can taxi platform. An assassin woman patiently awaits his prayer. She disguises herself as an adventurer. She knows from her organization\'s intelligence that a brat named Zack prefers to travel by air cab. She looks around; the majority of the air cabs have already flown away. The rest are waiting for their customers.
"If that brat shows up here. I\'ll either aim for his heart or cut his neck open. Then I\'m going to leave right away." She reflected to herself. Seeing a beautiful adventurer woman standing alone. A taxi driver in an air cab approaches her. "Dear Miss Adventurer, If you reserve my taxi. "I\'ll lower the fare for you." With a smile, the driver said. He wishes to engage her in conversation.
She snorted when she heard that, the female assassin was disgusted. Suddenly, she felt an ominous presence behind her, and she became terrified. However, it was too late. Her heart is pierced by a hand from behind. Her face was filled with disbelief as she saw her own heart. As a result, her life withers away.
Elder Thornton placed her corpse in his storage ring before her lifeless body fell to the ground.
The driver, on the other hand, terrified from witnessing the new situation. He turned pale with fear. His weakened legs robbed him of his strength. Elder Thornton knocked him out before he could open his mouth. Elder then vanishes from his position. Everything happened in an instant.
Few people noticed the absence of an adventurer woman. As a result, the atmosphere remains normal.
Elder Thornton dealt with the other two remaining assassins in the same manner, making no sound, and storing their corpses in his storage ring. He then proceeds to follow Zack from Shadows after he has dealt with it.
...
<<Zack\'s perspective>>
After Elder Thornton has dealt with the assassins, Zack arrives at the location a few minutes later.
I reserved an air cab to the White Snow City station. I sat in my seat after hopping into the air cab. As the air cab took off, it began to fly towards its destination. I finally relaxed, but I could tell there were a lot of people watching me.
And I\'m sure some of them are on a higher level than me. Especially one guy who isn\'t bothered by his presence. I would have comforted him if it hadn\'t been for the presence of too many variables. "Let\'s see, I might have a chance to face in Red Stone City," I thought to myself.
On the other hand, Zack had booked the air cab. Hutson\'s expression darkened. He wouldn\'t have hesitated to make a move on him if he was in a remote location. Hutson shakes his head and decides to do it in Redstone City. He continues to follow him after making up new plan.
There is only one train that runs every half hour to Red Stone City. He didn\'t want to be late for that. For example, Zack and Hutson took an air cab to the train station.
All of this happened in front of Elder Thornton\'s eyes. He\'d already gotten rid of the variables. Then he intends to follow Zack, but this time in a different compartment of the train.
...
With all of this going on at Zack\'s side. The same thing happens near Hansen Training Centre.
Mr. Arthur Emerson, with Elder Thornton\'s permission. He assassinated two of Elder Jensen\'s guards. Aside from them, there are a few movements from various factions near Hansen Training Centre. At the moment, He is not clear about their motives. Some may come here to collect intel.. While others intend to cause trouble here.
