Capítulo 1328: Believed it!

From MC’s Perspective

Faction Leader Clifford brought everyone to the meeting hall. I raised my eyebrows. I had expected to go back to the residence.

I didn’t expect him to bring us here. My gaze fell on three Gold Mark Warriors, four Silver Mark Warriors, and eleven Black Mark Warriors, including me.

The Gold Mark Warriors had returned safely. But the Silver and Black Mark Warriors had suffered casualties.

Swoosh!

In a flash, the Main Elders started to arrive one after another. Main Elders Austin, Ann, Rosie, Cathy, and Leola appeared and sat in their seats.

They immediately saw that a few of them had not made it back. Their expressions turned ugly.

“Neil,” Austin uttered in shock.

Hearing that, my heart skipped a beat. But I maintained a somber expression. After all, he was my 3rd Senior Brother.

The next second, I felt many gazes on me.

“Zack, what happened?” Faction Leader Clifford asked.

“Zack, tell us what happened in the secret land,” Austin asked this time.

Not only him, but Main Elders Ann, Cathy, Rosie, and Leola had their gazes on me. They wanted to hear from me.

I controlled my emotions. Then I raised my head and met their gaze.

“The secret land was the most dangerous place I have ever faced. Every step was fraught with danger. I cacross many Class-11 Monsters.”

“It was fortunate that I was able to escape from them. Not only that, I spotted a Class-12 Monster in the distance. I ran in the opposite direction,” I said to everyone in a steady tone.

“Most of the time, I was looking for a safe hideout rather than resources,” I added.

Hearing that, the other senior brothers and sisters nodded their heads. Sof them had indeed died at the hands of the high-class monsters.

Even the Main Elders believed it because they could see Zack Lockwood was still at the Black Mark Level. If he had found resources, he would have beca Silver Mark Warrior.

Not only him, but none of the warriors had a breakthrough. They returned to the sstate in which they had entered the secret land.

It was just that sof them had hidden injuries.

Faction Leader Clifford sighed. He had already heard from the Purple Mark Guard. Seeing and hearing Zack Lockwood now, he could guess why Zack was so downcast.

This trip was not memorable. Main Elder Austin’s mood was complex. He had already lost two disciples: his 3rd and 5th disciples. Now, only four of them remain.

Clifford didn’t stop there. He started asking other warriors. The Gold Mark Warriors started to share their experiences.

“Leader, we both tried to explore the secret land. But we saw a Class-13 Monster sleeping underground.”

“Its slight body movements caused earthquakes. We didn’t dare to wake it up,” one of the Gold Mark Warriors said.

Hearing that, my heart was stirred. I had been thinking about it as well. But I never expected the news to be true.

So, the Purple Mark Guard was not lying. There was indeed a Class-13 Monster. It was equal to a Purple Mark Warrior.

But I could understand why. The secret land was filled with dangers. At the stime, it was a treasure trove. I used many resources to shape myself and solve my hidden dangers.

I was stronger than before.

The words of the Gold Mark Warrior shocked the Faction Leader and the Main Elders. Now they started to believe the story more.

Then, other warriors shared their experiences.

Everyone’s experience was the same. They were running for their lives in the secret land.

On the other hand, I was shocked inside. It appeared I was the one who found resources and used them. Thanks to that Tiger Monster.

Faction Leader Clifford and the Main Elders were in a bad mood. They needed tto process it.

“Okay, you guys can go back to your residences,” Clifford said.

Hearing that, I sighed in relief. I was worried that they would start doing a thorough investigation. Then I turned around and started leaving with the others.

After walking out, everyone sighed in relief. They thought it could have been them who died. I sighed inwardly and started heading back to my own residence.

A few minutes later,

I arrived at the residence. After entering the room, I locked the door. Then I went to take a bath first. The bath lasted for 20 minutes.

Then I walked out and changed into comfortable clothes. Next, I went to bed to rest. I needed rest and tto forget the secret land.

Meanwhile

Clifford didn’t know what to say. His gaze swept across everyone.

He asked, “Do you guys think it could be something else?”

Austin and the others looked at each other.

Austin said, “It appears everyone had casualties. The secret land turned out to be this dangerous.”

“The Red Moon University should have waited to collect more information,” Elder Ann said from the side.

Clifford shook his head and said, “Actually, they were ready to explore alone. Dean Jerome’s appearance caught them off guard.”

“If they had waited longer, then other Universities would have stepped in,” he added.

Leola and Cathy had the sopinion. They couldn’t find anything strange about it. If they knew Zack Lockwood killed Neil Smith, they wouldn’t be this quiet.

On the other hand, the Gold Mark Warriors from the Dazzling Gold and Cutting Silver Factions were killed in the end.

Otherwise, they would have exposed Zack Lockwood’s real combat strength.

Tpassed.

After the discussion, the Main Elders returned to their places. The news quickly spread across the camps.

There were faction warriors who were keeping an eye on Zack Lockwood’s information. After knowing that Zack Lockwood survived, they were shocked.

But then they learned that Zack Lockwood’s strength remained the same. It made them sigh in relief. They could challenge Zack Lockwood next time.

On the other hand, Faction Leader Francesca learned about Zack Lockwood’s safe return. She sighed in relief.

She was not that worried about her own faction members, but she was worried about Zack Lockwood.

At the stime, Ronnie Seth and the people in the Virtual Training Lab were relieved after learning of Zack Lockwood’s safe return to the campus.
