Ancient Tears BloodLine

Elder Thornton begins to go through the report after realizing the seriousness of the matter. If the deal becomes successful then they receive one more sponsor.

Time progresses,

Elder Thornton flips one report after another, From time to time he contacts the accounts team to verify some details. He completed 1/3 of the reports by the end of the evening. He picks those reports which need his urgence signing.

After placing the completed files on the right side of his desk he looks at the timing. "There is still one hour left before closing of the campus" He mumbled under his breath.

Seeing there is sometimes left he frowns but now way he would continue to go through the reports. With an hour left, he plans to meet Mr. Arthur and discuss something. Actually he needs to discuss these matters with other elders.

But ever since some elders wanted to expel from Chairman Seat, he turned a cold eye to them. Apart from high level confidential matters he chose not to contact them.

His behavior was obviously understood by the Elders. Though there is some dissatisfaction in their heart they didn't show it. They knew Elder Thornton had great going these days. Every event is favorable to him. Seeing his great momentum no one wants to offend him.

Some wise elders realize that everything Elder Thornton does turns out beneficial to the campus. As some of them were shareholders they were obviously happy with his actions. They hoped that Elder Thornton would bring more money to their belly.

At this time Elder Thornton walks along the corridor. He hears the discussion of students and lectures mentors from the class. The Hansen Campus does more combat training than lectures. Though they have a good library on campus, students rarely go to the library.

Shaking his head, he feels a little disappointed about the situation. Apart from a few fellows, the library is not visited by everyone. Talking about the library image of Zack flashes before his eyes. "What is he doing?" He remembers Arthur notified him about Zack this morning. Arthur gave him the treasure box.

He hopes Zack won't swallow it entirely. He knows about Zack but still he wants to make sure everything is fine. He quickly reaches Arthur's cabin.action

"Creak" the door slid open.

"Elder, When did you come back? I thought you were away." Mr. Arthur was shocked to see Elder Thornton. One of the reasons he advised Zack so hard was he felt Elder Thornton won't be present today. So he needs to advise Zack behalf him. So he was stunned to see him.

"Ahem, I was busy with reports. I don't have any time to contact you." Elder Thornton said with dissatisfaction. Obviously he wants to forget about the remaining zunk of work he needs to do.

Taking his seat, Elder Thornton looked at Arthur and asked, "What is he doing?"

Arthur blinked his eyes twice and asked, "Who?"

Elder Thornton twitched, and said, "Zack Lockwood"

Mr. Arthur smiled wryly recalling the morning event. He coughed and said, "Don't worry Elder, I advised him sternly before giving away the treasure. He must be practising hard"

Elder Thornton nodded that he is pleased with his action.

Mr. Arthur remembers something and asked impatiently, "Elder, Do you hear anything about Crimson Hall?" By mentioning Crimson Hall he is obviously meaning their event.

Elder Thornton let out a deep sigh hearing that. He shook his head in denial and commented, "There is not even wind about the event. I suspect even their elders haven't started planning for the event."

Mr. Arthur was dumbfounded hearing that. Unlike Star Tower, normal events were planned ahead. When it comes to Star Tower, It was set by Star Tower at random and a place of Challenge also happens inside the Star Tower.

But Crimson Hall is different. Five years ago, they conducted their event at Class 2 Monster Zone. Which resulted in heavy loss of lives. He wonders this time what they are upto, Especially Zack is targeted by them now.

So he doesn't know what to comment on this matter. It's impossible to backaway right now. Zack's name was already registered in the challenger list.

Seeing Arthur's fluctuating mood, Elder Thornton knows he is concerned about Zack's safety. So he commented, "Stop worrying too much. As long as we find content of their competition. We can always plan something."

Then he straightened his back and added, "I don't think they can be secretive about this matter for so long."

Mr. Arthur's eyes lit up and asked, "How?"

Elder Thornton smiled and answered, "Crimson Hall is funded by many factions, especially some rich families. Do you really think they won't ask about the competition."

He sneered inside and added, "Obviously they won't send their descendants to death bed. So it will be a matter of time before the content leaks out."

Hearing that a new hope arises in Mr. Arthur's hearts. If what Elder says is true then they can have some plans to save Zack.

Looking at Elder Thornton, Mr. Arthur said, "Elder, Shall I try to contact some of the families"

Hearing that Elder Thornton immediately refuted, "No, You stay away from it. I had already planned something. "

Just as they were conversing, they were interrupted by sudden notification.

Mr. Arthur looks at the pop-up Virtual screen, Seeing that Zack is standing outside. He immediately let him enter inside.

"Creak" the door slid open

Zack entered inside, looking at the heavily built body in front of him. He immediately recognised.

"Ha...Ha...Ha..., Zack. I thought it would be difficult to see you for a few days." Elder Thornton said with a laugh. He thought Zack won't return until he consumes a few of the treasures.

Mr. Arthur smiled hearing that, then he senses Zack's health. Since there is no danger he felt relief.

After saying it, his expression changes for a moment. Observing Zack from top to bottom he notices subtle changes. But he doesn't know what. But he feels there are some changes in Zack. Obviously Zack has consumed some treasure. But he didn't know what it was so he asked, "Zack, What did you consume?"
