Chapter 264 Surprise?

(From MC Perspective)

The following day,

Both of us left early in the morning. I don't know whether he informed the Hall Master or not. I plan to ask him after getting into Barron Fort City. Right now, we were going to the train station.

Sometime later, We reached the destination. Unlike past few days, the place is not much crowded. The air car slowly landed near the train station.

After stepping out of the car, we walked towards the ticket counter. But we were stopped by two Patrol Guards. Seeing them I turned towards Elder Thornton.

Unlike Zack, Elder Thornton's face changes for a moment. Because he notices the subtle differences in their breath. "Elite Warriors!" Elder Thornton exclaimed in his heart.

Then without waiting for Zack to ask anything. He went forward to discuss with them. To his surprise, one of the Elite Warriors brought up a list to check his information. After confirming his identity, Elder Thornton saw both of their attitudes change and a bit of respect can be seen in their eyes.

I saw Elder Thornton conversing with them a moment later when he came up with a green signal. After getting the ticket we waited for the train to arrive. Seeing that there is still some time left, I asked, "Elder, What's up with them?"

Hearing that Elder Thornton, "Those two were Elites." After saying that he ended the matter. He didn't continue to comment on this matter. He doesn't feel good about the name list. It's good that it's something related to them.

I'm stunned for a moment. Elites, I didn't feel any single breath for them. Huh, no wonder Elder Thornton went to talk to them. Which also shows the City is back to normal. I shrugged off thinking about the events of the past few days.

This is the first time in my life I feel so happy to leave a City. One thing for sure, it doesn't matter whether it's a small or big city. Whenever there is a presence of multiple forces in the city, something is bound to happen.

A 15 minutes later,

The Special train for Barron city arrives, after boarding the train. We sat up in silence. Elder Thornton seems to be in deep thinking. Especially after his conversation with Elites. Sigh, Seeing that there is nothing to converse with, I shut my eyes.

Apart from them, the train's compartment is not crowded. There were a lot of empty seats. The expressions of the remaining passengers were a bit solemn. But when the train begins to depart, a sigh of relief can be seen on their faces. Waiting in West Word city already made them tense.

A few hours later, the train entered the region of Barron Fort city and in a few minutes it slowly reached the train station.

Seeing that train has arrived at the destination, I felt a huge pressure on my shoulder lifted off. Walking in Westword city is the same as walking on a landmine. Finally, I can breathe in relief. I can't wait to see Mr. Jonathan, he told me there is a surprise waiting for me after the competition.

At first I'm not in the mood to ask him about that, especially after killing Darius Case. But fortunately, Mr. Jonathan didn't blame me and instead helped me to dispose of Darius's corpse. Which also shows that my teacher is approving my actions.

"It is good to walk out of that damn place." Elder Thornton uttered in relief. Hearing that I smiled, then both of us went to the destination told by Mr. Jonathan. Unlike the chaos seen in Westword city, the Barron Fort is usually calm. Considering the fact that it's the main connecting city to the Westword city.

Several minutes later, I smiled wryly as I saw the billboard of this building. It's very surprising to see that Mr. Jonathan never changes his style. He always chooses an auction house as a destination. Whether it's a small or big auction house, it doesn't matter. He always has a connection with them in one way or another. No wonder he can collect lightning attributed treasures in time.

A look of surprise appeared on Elder Thornton's face but he didn't ask it. Because, Mr. Jonathan is someone related to Zack and he is the subordinate of that esteemed person. It's not wise to poke into their matters. So, he decided to give them some time to chat.

After entering the auction house instead of inquiring at the registration desk I contacted Mr. Jonathan directly. As I called him, a moment later I heard footsteps coming towards me. Seeing that person I smiled and called off the call.

The person is none other than Mr. Jonathan. Seeing Zack with Elder Thornton. He gestures to Zack to follow him. Elder Thornton understands the meaning, so he told Zack that he will wait for him.

I'm confused by seeing Mr. Jonathan's reaction. I thought he would take some time to greet us. But he directly went on to matter. Shrugging off, I hurriedly followed his footsteps. Since it's not a big auction house, there were minimum rooms around here.

Mr. Jonathan led me to one small private room. After stepping inside the room, he sets up a barrier to prevent spying. "Zack, take your seat"

Nodding, I sat on the couch. "Mr. Jonathan, What's wrong? You seem to be in a hurry." I asked straightforwardly.

Mr. Jonathan was surprised to hear that he felt Zack's perception is too high. Without hiding he commented, "Sigh, I received a new assignment this morning. I decided to leave after meeting up with you."

As expected Mr. Jonathan is as busy as ever. I wonder what kind of work he is doing here. Then, without waiting for Zack to reply Mr. Jonathan reveals, "Okay, there is some good news for you."

Hearing that I smiled. "Mr. Jonathan, Tell me what it is? I'm eager to know."

Seeing Zack is getting impatient. Mr. Jonathan takes out a crystal ball from the storage ring. This violet color ball shines brightly and lit up the entire room.

At first glance, I know that this dazzling crystal ball may look similar to an affinity stone. But It 's clearly not, that's why after confirming it my breathing becomes a lot quicker.
