Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From MC's perspective)

Tier-7 - Baguva City,

The air cab driver who is also a peak trainee warrior sat in the driver's seat.

At this moment, I heard Elder Thornton's voice from next to me.

"Zack, this air car has a different name. It is called wind car model #98," Elder Thornton said.

"Wind car," I muttered. But I recalled those customized air cars used at the Black Forest. Compared to those modified air cars, this wind car is quite big.

In the next second, the wind car rose from the ground. Seeing that, I immediately began to view the city through the window.

As the wind car rose above the clouds. I can see the overall infrastructure of the train station. Like Elder Thornton has said, the train station is really big.

The wind car slowly moved towards the destination. Seeing the speed control, I was puzzled. Then a look of understanding appeared on my face.

The city has strict traffic control. That's why the peak trainee warrior is responsibly following the rules.

Shaking my head, I asked Elder Thornton, "Elder, where are we going?"

I suppose Elder Thornton already told the driver about the destination.

"Shopping," Elder Thornton uttered a word.

Hearing that, a trace of confusion appeared in my eyes.

"Ha...Ha....Ha...."

"Just be patient, we will arrive at the location shortly," After saying that he began to text his good friend.

SIGH

I sighed inwardly. Then I shift my attention toward the city. There are many high-rise buildings in this city. Back at home, usually, wealthy business people have this type of building.

Apart from them, there is the only building of City Lord Mansion that can rival them. Even our Hansen building is pale in comparison.

I'm curious though if it's some company building then what about the residence building? Do all of them have a similar structure? A thought rose in my heart.

Then next second, I felt it was absurd. Shaking my head, I continue to observe the city.

20 minutes later,

The wind car slowly descends on the landing platform. When it came to a complete halt, I stepped out of the car followed by Elder Thornton.

I saw Elder Thornton walk up to him. Seeing that I decided to wait. After paying the amount to the driver, he led me to a certain location.

After walking past several buildings, he came to a complete stop in front of a particular building.

CAMPBELL GEAR CENTRE

A quick glint flashes into my eyes as I read the name. "What Gear?" I mumbled under my breath. Feeling the confusion, I glanced at Elder Thornton. He wasn't surprised as I am.

Suddenly, a person walked out by opening the glass door.

"Ha....Ha....Ha....," Elder Thornton burst into laughter after seeing that person.

"Ricardo, how have you been?" Elder Thornton stepped forward to meet him.

Hearing that, I realised what was happening. Then immediately I observed the person.

He appeared to be 60 years old. He was a bald person with white curly hair. He is 5.5ft tall in height. He has a lean physique with fair skin. He wore a white blazer.

"Zack, come here. He is my friend Ricardo Compton," Elder Thornton suddenly said to Zack.

Hearing Elder Thornton's words, I looked at the bald elder and walked toward him. When I walked in front of him, I felt his gaze over my body. I realised he is probing me right now.

I don't know. Whether he will bypass the pendant's protection. A trace of worry appeared in my eyes.

On the other hand, Elder Thornton was shocked to his core. He made an important discovery right now. His friend Ricardo seemed to be more powerful than him.

He couldn't even guess Ricardo's cultivation base.

At the same time, bald Ricardo Compton was surprised by Zack's strength. When he tried to probe, he found the small block. He knows it must be a protective item. But he easily bypassed it and found Zack's real strength.

"Mid-level- Special Trainee," He thought to himself. Then a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes because he also found his bone age of Zack. "Less than 15 years old, good, " He said to himself.

Then in curiosity, he asked, "Brat, what is your element?"

Hearing that, my heart skips a beat. Instead of answering, I glanced at Elder Thornton for support. I can't tell him about my lightning element.

Elder Thornton never expected his friend to raise this question all of a sudden.

"Cough" "Cough"

He coughs twice before saying, "Can we go inside now?"

"We came here after a long tiring journey," he added further.

Bald Compton realised his mistake. He replied in an apologetic tone, "Sorry, I forgot about this." Then he greeted both of them inside.

"Phew," I breathed in relief. Then I gave thumps up to Elder Thornton. He saved me from trouble this time. But I don't know. What to do after getting inside the trunulesia forest.

I followed behind the two with a worry in my heart.

On the other hand, Elder Thornton is speaking with Compton. He was surprised by knowing his friend far surpassed him. But he doesn't know what level is he at right now.

This building has several floors. Right now, they are on the first floor. Precisely in the waiting area, Elder Thornton asked, "Compton, what is your level? Tell me honestly."

Hearing that, bald Compton chuckled.

But he didn't feel any reason to hide it. So he answered, "Mid-level Elite Warrior."

Hearing that, Elder Thornton felt quite unbelievable. How long has it been? The last time when he saw his friend, he was taking the step to break through.

Now he is saying he has reached Mid-level. This must be due to differences in talent. It's normal for warriors to exhaust their potential at old age. But this case is only applicable to the average warrior.

Warriors with good talent are quite an exception to it.

SIGH

Elder Thornton sighed inwardly. Soon three of them reached the elevator.

On the other hand, the conversation between these two was heard by me. What can I say? I'm finally coming in contact with Elite world.

As expected the person with Mid- Elite strength. He has easily seen through my cultivation base. Looks like Granny's pendant won't be able to provide cover anymore.

I have to buy an upgraded version of the pendant.

As I walked inside the lift, I saw a bald Elder looking at me with a doubtful gaze.

"Brat, are you alright?"

"Why are you so tensed?"

Compton inquired the young man in a calm tone. He felt this young man was nervous because of a new place.

On the other hand, Elder Thornton quickly interjected by saying, "Ha..Ha..ha.., it's the first time for him to see an Elite Warrior."

Elder Thornton thought his friend has become talkative suddenly for no reason. Does he find something in Zack? As this thought rose in his heart. He glanced at Zack with worry.

Compton shook his head. He didn't ask anything further. Then he presses the button to the 10th floor.

Seeing that, the bald elder didn't inquire anymore, I felt relief in my heart. Damn, I can't stand two minutes with him. If our conversation goes like this, then I don't know what I'm going to do.

It is hard to come up with a lie every time. One lie leads to another.action

When the lift reached the 10th floor. We walked out of the lift one by one. What greeted me was a high-tech shop. There is glass built entrance door with a small system attached to it.

I saw the bald elder walled forward to do something. He went closed so that his communication watch get connected to the small system.

The next second the glass door opened automatically.

Then we entered the room. My gaze was immediately drawn to the shelves. Where different types of gears were placed in it. All of them were full body gear.

Each one is different in size and model. Some of them were in armour type and others were in normal adventurer suit type. Seeing that, I stopped walking and continued to observe them.

At the same time, Elder Thornton noticed Zack's situation. He didn't disturb him rather he said to Compton, "Are you purchasing the gear for Zack?"

Hearing that, Compton turned around he looked at Zack first and then he faced his friend. "Did you brief him about trunulesia forest?" He asked in a solemn tone.

Elder Thornton nodded and replied, "I told him about some basic information."

Looking at the serious expression of Compton he asked, "is there any problem?"

Compton's expression eased a little bit, then he let out a sigh before saying, "Actually, there are some changes that happened in Trunulesia forest."

"The concentration of the weird energy is increased a lot compared to the past few decades," he added further.

Hearing that, Elder Thornton's expression changed drastically. He immediately looked at Zack. He found Zack was observing the gear suits without minding their conversation.

He sighed in relief before turning towards Compton, "If it's dangerous, then we will return to our city right away."

No way, if something happens to Zack, their institute will disappear overnight.
