Mr. Arthur, who is sitting in the chair, greeted us. An elderly man sits in the main seat. "This person must be Elder Thornton," I thought as I examined his physique.

"Zack, Meet Elder Thornton. He is Chairman of the Hansen Training Center" With a smile, Mr. Arthur Emerson said.

When I heard that, I looked at the elder and made a slight bow. Elder Thornton smiled and motioned for us to take a seat.

Ms. Key sat across from Mr. Arthur Emerson. I sat in the opposite row. Mr. Arthur Emerson began the conversation, seeing that everyone was settled, by saying, "Zack, Do you know? "What is the purpose of this meeting?"

"Doesn't it have something to do with Elder Jensen?" I responded simply. It's obviously about them. Perhaps they want me to hand over Philip's body.

Elder Thornton fixed his gaze on Zack. He could already tell Zack was on a different level. At first, the small pendant around his neck causes a minor commotion. But now he can see right through it. "It's no surprise that the old man Jensen's scheme failed. He misjudged the brat's strength."

Elder Thornton did not initiate the conversation from the start. He paid close attention to Zack. This is their first face-to-face meeting.

The other hand, Hearing Zack's response. Mr. Arthur Emerson flashes an embarrassing grin. "You are correct. But it's not just the Jensens. You drew unwelcome attention from other forces. They have placed a bounty on your head. Even if it isn't extreme. But they've still marked you."

Hearing that, I said nothing to refute it. I sat quietly and listened. I'm no stranger to assassination attempts. I only cast a sidelong glance at Elder Thornton. That Elder never even opened his mouth. Inside, I couldn't help but frown. "What are they trying to say?" I thought to myself.

"Do I have to be careful about something?" I asked Mr. Arthur Emerson.

It was answered this time by a rough voice. We all turned to look at Elder Thornton. "When it comes to bounty missions and assassin missions," he said. There is a distinction. Everyone is welcome to participate in the Bounty mission. The rogue cultivators took advantage of the situation to reap massive rewards. They can do it as a group or as a solo mission."

"It's more like direct confrontation," he continued. "Either they gang up on you to kill you, or someone stronger decides to kill you alone."

Hearing a sudden alarm rang inside of me. That's exactly what happened in the morning with the stalker situation. As a result, he is a member of a rogue organisation that has come to complete his bounty mission. But this guy is brave enough to confront in broad daylight. I laughed heartily inside as I remembered the morning situation.

Elder Thornton was watching Zack's reaction. Mr. Arthur, on the other hand, understood what the Elder was doing. Ms. Adeline Key is the only one who doesn't know what's going on. She sat there with a blank look on her face. She has no idea why Mr. Arthur Emerson invited her. She knew there had to be a reason. As a result, she did not dare to interiorize their conversation.

Then after I've sorted through my thoughts, I said. "Elder, What exactly are you saying? I need to be cautious of those rogue warriors. "Won't the city lord intervene?" I had enquired.

Elder Thornton smiled, but his heart is torn between laughing and crying. "This brat has no idea that his future path has already been mapped out for him." He only needs to proceed with caution." Elder Thornton made a mental remark.

But he's still staring at his Zack face. "Forget about rogue cultivators," he replied. Because they lack elite. They don't pose much of a threat. The organization's remaining strongholds are usually wary of outside forces. They don't just pick your bounty mission at random. They are only antagonising Hansen Training Centre by doing so."

We all nodded as we heard his words. Elder Thornton didn't stop there, saying, "You must be wary of your assassins. They will use any means necessary to successfully assassinate their target. I wouldn't be surprised if an elite level assassin was sent to kill you."action

Then he added, "Furthermore, there will be little direct confrontation. It will be similar to a sneak attack, a poison attack, a curse attack, and in some cases, assassination via soul and curse attacks is possible."

Hearing that, everyone's expressions changed dramatically. "I'm not too important for them to go to such lengths, right?" I couldn't help but think. Because they were unaware of my true abilities. They only targeted me because of my ties to the Army Federation. So far, I've only been a political target. As a person, I'm not a threat.

So long as I keep a low profile. It would be fine until I get into the Academy. For the time being, the storms are passing. But these guys were involved in half of this mess. I paid close attention to them. I simply nodded in response to Elder Thornton's explanation.

Otherwise, he may regard it as impolite.

Elder Thornton noticed Zack nodding at him after he explained. He signed his name internally. "I'm not sure why I'm explaining to him." Even if he runs into an elite assassin, I'll be the one to deal with him. It's more like telling myself to mentally prepare."

Then he looked around at everyone. "cough," "cough," "Zack, I'm just telling you these things for a reason." Don't go anywhere new places until you've joined the academy. Don't worry about our internal shambles. Nobody on our team is going to hurt you. Just concentrate on your cultivation and strength."

When I heard that, I smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Elder Thornton. I'll look after myself. But all I need is..." I made the last statement on purpose. Do they believe I won't ask for compensation?

Mr. Arthur, on the other hand, interjected, saying, "What is it, Zack?" Speak up in front of Elder Thornton. He can assist you." Mr. Arthur was aware that Zack was discussing resources. So he reasoned that it would be better if everything was settled on the table.

Elder Thornton was irritated when he heard that, but it's also true that some of the problems were caused by Elder Jensen. So he looked at Zack and asked, "What do you need, Zack?"

I felt relieved when I heard that. "I already gave you a namelist of resources," I replied. But I'd like to supplement it with some resources."

When they heard that, they both nodded. "Zack might need affinity stones," Ms. Adeline Key thought to herself.

I continued, looking at them. "I'd also like to receive a blood essence pill from a Class 2 Monster."

Hearing this, Elder Thornton did not ask any questions. Bloodline warriors typically use blood essence pills. Energy warriors are rarely touched. "Perhaps it has something to do with his element affinity." He muttered something under his breath.

Elder Thornton simply inquired, "Zack, "What elemental affinity do you have?"

I'm taken aback after hearing that. This was not something I expected to happen.

Mr. Arthur, on the other hand, knitted his brows. He, too, is unaware of this, and has frequently inquired of James about it. But he always manages to avoid answering the question. He's hoping Zack will respond.

Ms. Adeline's interest has been piqued as well. They all looked to Zack for an answer.

"What should I do?" I can't afford to be dishonest. Otherwise, these people will concentrate on elemental resources. "I also can't show off my special element," I told myself.

"Forgive me, Elder Thornton," I said as I looked at them. If my adversary is aware of my element. Then they'll send assassins, keeping my affinity in mind." This is the only lie I can think of.

Hearing that, everyone was taken aback. Elder Thornton basically said, "This brat is cautious." If he is of the water element. The fire element assassin will then find it much easier to kill him." He thought to himself.

"OK, you're right," Elder Thornton said. Arthur, Locate a few rare and powerful Class 2 Monster's blood essence pills for Zack. "

When Mr. Arthur heard this, he replied, "Don't worry, Elder, I'll arrange it."

"There is a reason, Ms. Adeline Key. You have been summoned. You will now be Zack's sparring partner." Elder Thornton smiled as he spoke.

Ms. Adeline key gained clarity after hearing that. "Rest assured, elder," she replied. I will properly train him."

I couldn't help but twitch when I heard their responses. The meeting ended a few minutes later. Everyone had already left the building. I make my way to the dummy practise room. Before leaving the hall, I told Mr. Arthur that he needed to find the blood essence pill as soon as possible.

...

After the meeting, a half-hour later.

Lucius Jensen arrived at the Hansen building. He walks toward Mr. Arthur's cabin after entering the building. He didn't make any noise along the way. He's a silent raging volcano.

Mr. Arthur, on the other hand, is working in his cabin. He was startled to hear the door slam.

He let the individual in. Mr. Arthur, however, after looking at the person's face. He couldn't keep his cool. He got up from his seat.

"Lucius!" he grumbled.

Lucius Jensen entered the room. He sat down after a brief glance at Arthur. Mr. Arthur sat down when he saw him. The ambiance is solemn. Nothing is being said.. They were both staring at each other.
