Ancient Tears BloodLine

Elder Thornton looked at Zack solemnly and said, "There is no record of such monsters at our outpost 1012. But I believe it belongs to other regions."

"Outside?" I muttered. I also thought of the same reasoning. But why didn't Mr. Jonathan say anything about it? He had a wide range of knowledge. It's impossible to know nothing about it.

"Sigh"

I won't get any answer at this time, it's better to forget it for now. Hmmm, Anyway, The Star Tower mission is over. It's time to relax a little bit.

Then I asked, "Ahem, Elder. In your opinion, how much time is left for the upcoming Crimson Hall's exhibition event?"

This is the question bugging me. But I guess, it will take at least 8 months. So, in the meantime, I can practice and relax at my own pace without worrying about anything else.

Hearing Zack's question, Elder Thornton commented, "As per earlier schedule, it will take 6 months. But right now, I predict in four months the event is going to be held."

"4 months uh, Hmmm" I mumbled under my breath.

It's so soon, but it can't be helped. I need to get stronger in these 4 months. Personally, I feel those guy can't wait to see me dead.

Pushing away thoughts, Then I remembered Granny Park. I said, "Okay, Elder Thornton and Mr. Arthur, let's drop this discussion for a while. And it's time for me to go home."

Elder Thornton and Mr. Arthur looked at each other. They knew his mind was not really into the discussion. Elder Thornton thought about protecting Zack from behind. But soon he disregarded these thoughts. He doesn't believe anyone will act upon Zack at this time.

People will follow once he gets outside. So no one will dare to do it in front of the media. So he bets on this assumption.

So he glanced at Zack and said, "It's alright, you can go back home and relax. But I expect you to return after two days. In the meantime, Arthur will arrange resources. And I'll also head outside to capture a few Class 3 Monsters for you to practise"

I nodded at both of them, Then I left the meeting room hurriedly to go back home.

When I stepped outside, As usual I had to go through the swarm of media people to get outside. Fortunately, I found an air cab in the distance. After hopping inside the air cab, I breathed in relief.

Such a crowd will suffocate me to the death. After catching up a breath, I called Uncle James.

As the call connected, I heard a deep voice.

"Zack, Where are you?" Mr. James inquires in a worrisome tone.

Hearing that I smiled and elaborated on the situation here.

"Ha...ha...ha..., I also saw some people lurking around here. Since, Most of the residents here belong to one or another medium faction. They don't dare to cause any ruckus. But don't worry you will get used to this. And also I'm going to wait for you at the train station." Mr. James said.

"Thank Goodness. There are not many people there. I'm not used to this, It will be normal once I leave the city. Okay, Uncle James. I'll contact you later." I replied in a calm tone.

"Sigh" After Sighing in relief, I waited for the air cab to reach the station. Earlier, while on the train, I had one booked a ticket for me to go home.

Sometimes later,

The air cab reaches the station. When the air cab landed on the platform, I left hurriedly after paying him.

After hiding away from frenzied reporters, I reached my platform. I wear a black face mask to hide my face. People use it as a fashion. But for me it's a lifesaver.

A 15 minutes later,

The train for White snow City arrives at the platform. Like always there is no soul inside the compartment, except one or two people.

I sat in my usual window seat and shut off my eyes. It will take a while to reach home. So I thought about taking a small nap right now.

Two hours later,

The train reached the White Snow City's station. After exiting the compartment, I immediately found Uncle James was waiting for me at the cafeteria.

Seeing me coming, Uncle James gestures to me to follow him quietly. I understood his reactions, The Red Stone City's media house even caught up here. Sighing, I followed Uncle.

We reached home sometime later. Since its a strict residential area. The reporters didn't make a noise. Because of it, I peacefully entered my house.

The first thing I did after stepping inside my home was to see Granny. But after hearing Uncle's words, I came to know that she fell asleep.

"She was active a while ago, What happened?" I said.

Mr. James, "She fell asleep due to medication." He remembered how Ms. Park refused to consume a medication pill. She insisted on seeing Zack first, then she would consume a pill. But somehow I managed to convince her to take the pill.

I nodded hearing that and said, "It's fine you can call me once she wakes up" after saying that I walk towards my room to freshen up.

"Smell of my room" I muttered. Now, I came to know how much I longed for my room after smelling the breath. The feeling of insecurity completely went away. My room is a real safe haven for me.

With that feeling I laid comfortably on my bed for few minutes,

10 Minutes later,

I went to take a bath. After walking out of the shower. I picked some casuals to wear. Since I bought most of the clothes for my journey. So right now only few of them left in cupboard.

It's just a casual t-shirt and 3/4.

After getting done, I head towards Uncle's room to have a chat. He has been dying to know what actually happened in the Westword city.
