BXBX NOVEL Chapter 262 Part Two: Last Day
At the Star Tower Management,
Hall Master of the Star Tower after receiving the news, He instructed Elder Thornton and others like him that they can go back to their place. Fortunately, at this time the Star Tower competition also came to an end. He also became free due to that.
Simultaneously, The batch of Warriors that participated in the Star Tower Challenge completed their trial making the Star Tower event a successful one. Like a bird freed from the cage, those warriors who stayed behind in the West word City since the beginning of the competition are beginning to move towards their home.
Due to that, in several hours, despite ongoing lockdown, the central city looked crowded. All modes of transport were booked by the participants. The crowding indirectly leads to dangerous situation. In such a situation, it\'s impossible to distinguish friend and foe from the crowd.
Using the ongoing turmoil and lack of City Guard personnel around the area. Some hostile forces begin to implement their evil plan. Whenever they come across talented warriors of their competitors. The hostile forces try to take their life. Which leads to direct confrontation here and there.
Dead bodies are beginning to pile up on the street. Elite forces on both sides were involved in direct confrontation in the city. Which caused numerous casualties. For the time being, the War reporters began to shift their attention from borders to the central city turmoil. Slowly, various news sites began to broadcast fights between the forces.
From time to time, the lack of manpower of the City Guard is being criticized. Mostly all the blame was thrown on the City Lord Garry who failed to foresee such a situation. If he had planned some back up plan earlier, this situation could have been completely avoided.
Time progressed, Eventually, the Crimson Hall team led by the Earth Element Warrior reached the central city and a few minutes later they met up with remaining Crimson Hall students. Ella Downs, Sallie Mills, Bradley Reese, Austin Boyer and Rob Williamson, all of them met up with Elite Earth Element Warrior.
Except Rob Williamson, everyone fails to recognize the slightly disguised warrior is their Sixth Elder. Seeing the sixth elder in person, Rob Williams gulped down his saliva. He remembers the sixth elder asking about Zack Lockwood\'s whereabouts. And they failed to get that.
While he was pondering it, Sallie and Ella breathed in relief finally they could get back to their home safely. Looking at five of their students, the Elite Earth Element Warrior said, "Since, everyone is here we can move. As long as we spend time here, it will attract hostile forces."
Rob Williamson nodded and commented, "Our Crimson Hall team performed very well in the competition. Now, It will attract some unkind gazes. There is already some killing going on. It would be better if we move away from the city as soon as possible."
Hearing that everyone echoed the same opinion. The Elite Earth Element Warrior then glanced at here and there. Then suddenly his eyes fell on Rob Williamson.
Feeling the gaze, "Elder?" He blurts out unknowingly. His voice was not loud but it was heard by everyone.
"Gasp" Five of them were shocked. They expected to be someone from their protection department. But they didn\'t expect to be an Elder.
Earth Element Warrior frowns upon hearing that he immediately said, " Quiet!"
Five of them stopped murmuring, feeling his gaze. The Elite Earth Element Warrior then asked, " Have any of you seen Zack Lockwood?"
Hearing that five of them looked at each other. They know about the mission. But everyone thought except Rob that the mission was cancelled. Yet now hearing Elder\'s words, they don\'t know what to say.
Seeing that everyone is maintaining silence. He looks at Rob for an answer. Feeling his gaze, Rob answered, "Don\'t know Elder? He is like disappearing into thin air. I suspect he has already left the city."
Shaking his head, he decided to drop this matter. Then he gestures to the students to follow him. Elite Earth Element Warrior led the team followed by five students and the remaining Peak Trainee Warriors.
The Earth Element Warrior thought the matter of Zack Lockwood will be handled by the disguised Warrior. Since both of them agree to split up the take. He doesn\'t want to think about Zack Lockwood anymore.
Even If the first Elder confronts him, he will tell it as it is. The City is in turmoil. It\'s impossible say whether Zack Lockwood moved out of the city or not.
…
(From MC Perspective)
These days, I have been like a couch potato. The City\'s current situation can be clearly seen on this news site. At first there is border turmoil, then there is successful infiltration and right now there is infighting going on between the forces.
From the news, the situation is quite clear. Warrior on leaderboard ranking is getting targeted particularly. Thinking about leaderboard ranking, I couldn\'t help but think about Crimson Hall. I hope they met with some accidents. All of their members performed well and had good ranking in the leaderboard.
I\'m pretty sure, if I go outside there is a high likelihood that I might get targeted. Laying on the sofa comfortably, I continue to watch the news. I don\'t know how long it will take for Elder Thornton to come back. Even Mr. Jonathan is already waiting for us at the border. Once Elder Thornton comes back, then I can discuss the next plan with him.
It\'s not safe to move away from the city right now. I feel it\'s best to wait until Hall Master and City Lord take control of the situation. Once they calm down, it will be a lot easier and safer to move around. I can see some forces had more than one Elite Warriors on the team and few Peak Trainee Warriors. This City is in an absolutely dangerous situation.
