Chapter 1490: Part 1: Undercurrents
Thunderflame Faction
I answered a couple of questions asked by the warriors. Then I returned to the residence. I need to get ready for the next mission.
On the other hand, the news of Zack Lockwood’s appearance spread across the place. Some didn’t believe it.
The photos of Zack Lockwood answering questions began to spread. Seeing that the news was true, they were shocked to the core.
It had been some time since they had seen Zack Lockwood. Especially a few people who knew Zack Lockwood.
Ronnie Seth was not here. He was outside the camps for the mission. But he got the message on his device. He was disappointed that he was not there.
If he were in the campus, then he would have known about Zack Lockwood’s current strength.
The news reached the ears of the people in the Virtual Training Lab. Old man Daniel and others heard the news as well.
They were all surprised. The next second, they were happy. They wanted to meet Zack Lockwood. Unfortunately, they didn’t know when Zack Lockwood would come here.
Old man Daniel raised his eyebrows in surprise. Lately, he had been hearing some shocking news about Zack Lockwood.
Zack Lockwood is someone who could fight against Purple Mark Level Foreign Creatures and kill them. The Purple Mark Level Warriors are elders on the campus.
To think Zack Lockwood’s strength has reached that level, he was shocked. He wanted to meet Zack Lockwood.
But he didn’t know whether Zack Lockwood would come here or not.
Time passed.
The news quickly reached the various faction warriors. The small and medium-sized factions were very much interested in Zack Lockwood’s news as well.
Because he was a famous warrior in Star University, the families behind them were happy to be part of Star University.
At the same time, they didn’t want to offend the Thunderflame Faction.
The families of the medium and small-sized factions warned others not to offend the Thunderflame Faction even by mistake.
Soon, the news reached the forces of other universities. They were surprised by the news as well.
They had thought that Dean Jerome wouldn’t allow the person to step outside until he grew up to protect himself.
Now, hearing the news, they think the recent rumours are true. They had been hearing that Zack Lockwood had been fighting against the Purple Mark Level Foreign Creatures.
Because of it, the foreign creature side had suffered huge damage. They had been using their planted spies everywhere to target Zack Lockwood.
So these forces are shocked right now. They didn’t know what the foreign creature side was going to do.
If Zack Lockwood is going to appear outside, they would definitely act.
....
Dark Shadow University
The Dark Shadow University had been hostile against the Star University because of their growing influence.
Things were already bad because of the serious competition between them. Now that Zack Lockwood had appeared, the Star University had gained even more spotlight.
It was as if they were not worried about the next generation of warriors.
If Zack Lockwood becomes a powerful warrior to the level of a Red Mark Warrior or above, then no one can shake the status of Zack Lockwood for the next hundred years.
Because of it, the higher-ups of the Dark Shadow University are pissed.
They can’t allow Zack Lockwood to grow. They had now truly gauged the potential of Zack Lockwood.
Almost all the forces are now convinced that Zack Lockwood will become a warrior of Red Mark and above.
Then no one can touch him. He will become someone who belongs to a different league and place.
Since the news of Zack Lockwood appeared right now, the higher-ups wanted to take one last gamble. They were sure that Dean Jerome would pay attention to the big picture.
He won’t shift his focus from the battlefield because of Zack Lockwood. So they wanted to use this weakness to target Zack Lockwood.
Even if any such consequences arose in the future, they would face them then. Now they wanted to use their power to target Zack Lockwood.
Soon, the higher-ups gathered. They decided to inform their Dean. They were sure that the Dean would listen to them.
It didn’t take long for the Dean of the Dark Shadow University to attend the meeting. He listened to the elders.
The Dean of the Dark Shadow University decided to take the gamble as well. They were already affected by the growing influence of Star University.
In particular, he got orders from above to develop the Dark Shadow University.
The Dean was under pressure. He thinks that the people above him might have not heard about Zack Lockwood.
If they knew, they would definitely give strict orders to him. He wanted to eliminate the kid even before the powerhouses knew about it.
There used to be many spies in Star University. But during the recent operations taken up by the Star University, Dean Jerome had wiped out most of their bases.
Many of their spies died. Only a few of them were left, but there was no contact from them so far.
It is possible that Dean Jerome is still looking out for them.
Then, the Dean here shook his head. This time he didn’t want to see any failure.
Since they are going to use their full strength, he wanted the target dead.
He cannot allow any failure this time. He has even decided to use his personal disciple for this mission if the situation arises.
He then gave orders to the elders. They were free to use their spies to look for Zack Lockwood and eliminate him.
They had spies hidden in each territory. They had used some against Zack Lockwood earlier. But this time, he had given permission to use every resource.
The meeting ended quickly. All the elders decided to act on this matter. They contacted the spies and told them to be ready.
Zack Lockwood had appeared. He might leave the campus. If he goes to another territory, then the spies can act.
The elders gave strict orders to the spies to use their full strength.
