Ancient Tears BloodLine-Chapter 1390: Widespread rumour

From MC Perspective

Warrior Camp 8

Seeing the middle-aged man extending his hand to me, my eyes flickered.

I smiled and asked, "Senior, do you need something?"

Bob was dumbfounded. He felt he was being humiliated. He had come here to probe the strength of the Star University Warrior.

So, he ignored the disrespect. His first goal was to find out the identity of the warrior. It would be useful to the organization.

The Star University is a rival to the Giant Tower University. They were in the camps not only to fight against foreign creatures but also to collect information on Warriors from rival forces.

"Junior, I told you my name. But what about you?" Bob said in a cold tone.

Hearing that, I knew I was right. Supervisor Ronan had just warned me about this matter. I didn’t expect it to happen this quickly.

"Cough!"

"Senior, don’t you know it’s a bit rude to ask about someone’s privacy?" I said with a smile.

"What privacy?"

"It’s just a name," Bob uttered with a sudden burst of anger; he lost his composure for a second.

He looked at the newcomer with bloodshot eyes. He had not been disrespected like this by anyone before. He wanted to attack the newcomer right away.

However, he understood his intention had been seen through. If he continued to stay here, he would face humiliation.

"Harumph." He gave a cold snort before walking away.

I turned around and looked at his retreating back. My eyes flashed with a glint. I think the upcoming days won’t be peaceful.

If they can’t complete their task here, they will try to do it on the battlefield. But I would like to see whether they are going to break the rules or not.

The supervisor can watch the battles. If they try to attack the same side on the battlefield, they won’t be able to escape punishment.

Then, I collected my thoughts and turned around to enter the stone building.

Meanwhile

Bob Vic joined a group of friends. They knew he had gone to collect information on the newcomer. Upon seeing him, they became eager to know about the newcomer as well.

But Bob was visibly angry. He could feel the gazes of his friends.

"Bob, what happened?" one of the friends asked.

Hearing that, the other friends saw that something was wrong with Bob’s face.

"Don’t ask me. That young man didn’t give me a face. He refused to answer any questions," Bob said in a cold tone.

Gasp!

"What?"

"How dare he?"

"Doesn’t he have respect for the Gold Mark Warriors?"

"We should teach him a lesson."

"He must be looking down upon our Giant Tower University."

The warriors here were enraged. They were all from the Giant Tower University. A few of their friends had died in the battle. Some of them were injured.

So, they were waiting for the next batch to come. Once the next batch arrived, the injured could leave. But before leaving, everyone agreed to share the collected intel with the higher-ups.

But the appearance of the newcomer added pressure to them. The newcomer happened to be from Star University as well. So, they had to collect information about him.

Bob Vic heard the cursing and complaints from the others. Seeing that they were angry as well, he relaxed.

"Alright, I guess the next batch won’t be the same as us. Some of the veteran warriors will definitely come in the next batch. They will definitely teach a lesson to that newcomer," Bob said in a cold tone.

Quiet!

Hearing that, the others quieted down. They understood that the seniors from the next batch would definitely do something about it.

The group talked about it before parting ways. Bob Vic went back to his room.

A few hours later, the injured were returned to their place through the teleportation platform. At the same time, the warriors from the next batch started arriving at the camp.

Tier-4 Region

All the major forces have spies planted by the foreign creature force. The major population pays attention to news about famous warriors.

Suddenly, a rumor started spreading among the masses. The rumour was about the Star University’s Masked Warrior.

He is a Silver Mark Warrior who has single-handedly wiped out more than 20 foreign creatures. The foreign creatures had both Silver Mark and Gold Mark level strength.

When the rumours were heard by the locals, everyone felt it was absurd. It was not the first time for them to hear such exaggeration.

Since the major forces won’t reveal official information, it gives birth to rumours and conspiracies. But usually, all such false information quiets down soon.

But this time, something else was happening. The same rumour was spreading like wildfire in different areas of the Tier-4 Region.

This was deliberately done by the spies planted by the foreign creature side. Ever since they read the report, they were shocked. The higher-ups were alarmed.

They don’t want the human side to have a formidable Purple Mark Warrior or a future possible Red Mark Warrior. They have decided to kill the masked warrior in the bud.

Fortunately, they at least knew that the masked warrior was from Star University. So, they will uncover his identity sooner or later.

As time went by, the rumours didn’t die down. They were being discussed in major places, including restaurants, markets, and other important locations.

It didn’t take long for some forces to pay attention to this matter. They had never seen such rumours spread at this fast a rate. They could tell that something was not right.

They didn’t know who was stirring up trouble.

...

Meanwhile

The rumours were spreading across the territories under the Star University. Since the masked warrior was from the Star University, the people living there became more interested in it.

They wanted to know whether the news was true or not. Some of the families located outside Star City have started contacting their spies.

They wanted to know the reason behind the rumour as soon as possible.
