Ancient Tears BloodLine-Chapter 1391: Leola’s brilliant mind!

Star University Territory,

The widespread rumours had forced the warrior families to confirm the truth of the matter, because the families’ interests were connected to different factions in the city.

If the rumours were indeed true and the masked warrior was from a hostile faction, then these families would suffer.

They could be targeted by rival families. So, they had to know the background of the masked man. Unfortunately, they didn’t know it was the scheme of the foreign creatures.

They wanted to stir up trouble. They let the human-side forces find out the information while the forces outside the Star University Territory were working hard.

But they were not having an easy time like the Warrior Families here. All they had to report to was the powerful families above them in Star City.

Then they would contact their descendants in Star University. It was easy work for the powerful families to find out the information.

As time went by, these families yielded no results. So, they contacted the Warrior Families in Star City.

On the other hand, there was already a meeting going on between allied families. They were concerned about the rumours as well.

If there was any formidable warrior who could cause such damage to the foreign creatures, they would have already known.

Unfortunately, the family higher-ups were confused themselves. There was a matching person with such capabilities. Rumours about him had been going on for weeks as well. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The person was none other than Zack Lockwood. The rumours about Zack Lockwood’s Silver Mark strength were widely popular a week ago.

Now they were hearing about the masked man as well, but they found the content of the rumours to be exaggerated.

If Zack Lockwood had defeated a single Gold Mark Warrior, they wouldn’t be surprised much.

But the rumours stated that the masked man had killed more than 20 Warriors, including Silver and Gold Mark Warriors.

So, they found it hard to connect the two dots. But these major families were able to believe that it was Zack Lockwood.

To confirm, they contacted the elders of the top 10 Factions. It didn’t take long for the top 10 Factions’ main elders to report to the main elders.

...

Thunderflame Faction

Faction Leader Clifford gathered the main elders for a meeting. The rumours had reached their ears as well.

Since he knew Zack Lockwood was at the warrior camp, he too thought that the rumours were exaggerated. But it could be Zack Lockwood who had killed the foreign creatures.

Main Elders Austin, Ann, Cathy, Leola, and Rosie were present. They were seated in their seats.

Faction Leader Clifford’s gaze swept across the main elders.

"What do you guys think?" Clifford asked.

Main Elder Austin frowned. He didn’t know what to say. His disciple’s activities were monitored by Dean Jerome.

It had been some time since he spoke with his disciple. He could only guess something if he was able to talk to his disciple.

He didn’t know what to say right now.

Clifford saw that Austin was pondering. He sighed inwardly. He could tell that Austin was disappointed.

Dean Jerome had been making decisions instead of him. His gaze then swept across the others. They were clueless as well.

"I can understand. You guys are wondering about the situation as well. But what can I do? These allied families are being restless," Clifford said.

At this time, Leola thought of something. She had been paying attention to Zack Lockwood’s rumours. It appeared that rumours had been circulating in the campus first.

But this time, the rumour about Zack Lockwood started appearing in their territory. Not only in their Star University Territory, but the rumours had sounded in other territories as well.

"Leola, do you have any idea?" Clifford asked.

Hearing that, others turned towards her. Usually, she was the one who spoke the most in the discussion. This time it was the same as well.

Leola smiled and said, "Leader, did you notice something was off this time?"

Austin, Ann, Cathy, and Rosie became curious. They knew Leola wouldn’t speak for nothing.

Clifford raised his eyebrows. His gaze turned solemn.

"Tell me, what is it?" He asked.

"This time the rumours about the kid, Zack, didn’t come from the campus. But from outside," She said.

Hearing that, everyone had some understanding.

Clifford nodded his head and said, "Yes, I too noticed this point. It did spread from the outside territory first."

Austin said, "It’s possible the warriors returned from the same warrior camp to spread the news."

"Yes, it must be them. They don’t like our Star University. They wanted to harm the junior, so that foreign creatures would pay attention to him," Cathy said.

Leola listened to everyone except Ann and Rosie.

"Main Elder Ann and Main Elder Rosie, what’s your opinion?" Leola asked.

Hearing that, others realised Leola had some other point.

Main Elder Ann nodded her head and said, "I too think hostile forces wanted to harm my disciple. They had tried it before by sending a Gold Mark Warrior."

"I won’t be surprised if it’s another evil plan of theirs," She added.

Rosie then felt everyone’s gazes on her. She had been worrying about Zack Lockwood as well. It was because of him she had joined here.

She said, "I’m worried that it could be an attempt to paint a target on Zack Lockwood’s back. The criminals could jump out again."

Hearing that, others nodded their heads. Everyone’s points were logical. But they still noticed Leola got something on her mind.

"Leola, you can speak your mind. Did you find something?" Clifford asked.

Leola smiled. She found everyone’s gazes on her.

She then said, "Everyone forgot about one important thing. This time the rumours didn’t appear in one random place. I did some digging. The rumours have spread in the entire Tier-4 region in a short span of time."

"This level of execution was difficult even for our University. Think about it. The mastermind behind it must have spies all over the Tier-4 Region."

"Who can do this level of widespread task?"

"So I think there is something going on. Is there something we don’t know yet?" She added.
