Ancient Tears BloodLine

Crimson Hall\'s Meeting Room,

The First Elder has a solemn expression on his face. The faces of the HeadMaster and rest of the elders were naturally not better either. Earlier everyone predicted that their Crimson Hall Students were better than Zack Lockwood.

But who would have thought that nameless kid would break through each floor and eventually reach the 17th floor.

Right now everyone\'s gazes fall on the leaderboard ranking. Where in number 1 Ranking, Zack Lockwood \'s name is flickering bright. Everyone faces becomes unsightly.

On the other hand, naturally the performance of Darius, Ella and Sallie were also noticed by everyone. But it was too early to judge their performance. So far they have done good to clear those basic levels.

LEADERBOARD RANKING

[Name, Place – Floor – Clearance Time- Rank]

[Zack Lockwood – 16th – 35 min -1st ]

[Darius Case – 10th – 2 min – 4th ]

[ Sallie Mills – 6th – 1 min -8th ]

[ Ella Downs -8th – 54 s – 6th ]

The Headmaster of Crimson Hall is slightly panicking. He knew even though there was no fault on him. These old fogey will eventually blame him at the end. He already told them the Crimson Hall team will perform better than this nameless brat.

But, right now looking at his current floor, my back is drenched in sweat. The problem here is it\'s not about that kid anymore, it\'s about him. He knew once the kid leaves the Star Tower. He will be planted by various forces. Now, He wants to escape from old fogey scheming.

Small sweats were dripping from his forehead. For a moment, the atmosphere is really solemn.  Earlier cheerful atmosphere turned sullen.

At this time, the First Elder opened his mouth. "Everyone, What do you say? Shall we join other forces to intercept the kid or Shall we do it alone?" He said with a serious expression.

Hearing First Elder\'s words everyone looked at each other. The HeadMaster swallowed his saliva hearing that. Earlier, He knew it\'s just a matter of time before the First Elder would do it. But Right now he said it himself. He knew First Elder wants to gain merit by killing that Kid. Later he will use that merit to fulfil his own self interest.

Second Elder after contemplating He asked, " First Elder, Does that kid have any background?"

Hearing that, the First Elder turned his gaze towards the Head Master. Upon feeling his gaze the Headmaster of the Crimson Hall knew He wanted me to say. Then he straightened up his back for a moment and said in detail, "Second Elder, that Kid Zack doesn\'t have anyone beside his Uncle and Grandmother. And His uncle is just a low level official working in the Federation."

Hearing Federation everyone\'s expression changed drastically.

The Second Elder said at this time, "If it\'s Federation. Don\'t you think right now? They have already paid attention to this matter."  He really feels it will be difficult to do anything hereafter. It would be better if they left out matters alone and didn\'t interfere with federation affairs .

Second Elder\'s words gained approval from everyone. How come people don\'t do anything about it here after? The Headmaster of Crimson Hall set his gaze towards the First elder. He already said the details. Now it\'s up to the First Elder to say anything.

While everyone is showing a change of expression on this topic. The First Elder on the other hand, didn\'t seem to be bothered about it. He already decided in his mind to Kill that Kid.

"Cough" "Cough"

He coughed little to attract attention. The sudden murmuring becomes quiet. Everyone is looking at the First elder. Everything is dependent on his words. If he decided to do it, then they don\'t have any choice other than to oblige.

The First Elder said, "I know what you guys are worried about? Earlier, I thought we could deal with him some time later when he enters our exhibition event. But who would have thought? This kid turned out to be so enchanting. Even for big forces they need huge resources to cultivate someone who can clear above 15 floors."

He sighed deeply then commented, " Right now, it\'s impossible to kill him at our event. It will be self inflicting. Once he leaves the Star Tower he will definitely be contacted by the federation fellows." He said in a dissatisfied tone.

At this time the Second Elder said, "So, First Elder what do you want to say? You know those mad guys from the federation won\'t leave it once they find out about our involvement."

Hearing the term made the new elders confused but some old fogeys memories were clear as day. Decades ago the Crimson Hall suffered great damage from the hands of a few warriors. When they wanted to retaliate at that time, they found out those guys\' ranking were somewhat above lower officials. So, they held back their resentment by not showing it anymore.

If they do it then they will suffer even more federation. Recalling the old memories, a few old Elders persuaded the first elder by saying, "First Elder, It\'s best if we don\'t repeat the old events." It would be best if the kid is disregarded by the officials, then they can kill the kid. But right now they don\'t know? They don\'t dare to do it before confirmation.

First Elder snorted hearing that, He said, " Okay, Don\'t worry we don\'t have to do it alone. We will join with other forces top kill opposing force\'s students. While doing that we will focus mainly on killing Zack Lockwood" His eyes flashes with ruthless killing intent while revealing his plan.

Hearing that other elders didn\'t dare to refute. Even the second elder has some unwillingness to hear that. But while joining with other forces to do it. He feels slight comfort. So, he plans to cooperate.

Upon seeing everyone \'s submissive reaction, First Elder sneered. "Even if they refute So what? They don\'t have the strength to back it up." He thought to himself. His gaze fell on the Head Master and said, "You will arrange a meeting with other forces. Remember to only arrange meetings with allies, not with new forces. If the plans leak out it will cause disaster."

Hearing the First Elder\'s instruction, the HeadMaster nodded nervously. He said, "First Elder, I will arrange meeting as soon as possible."

On the other hand, the First Elder retracts his gaze upon hearing that. About the Star Tower Challenge, Right now he doesn\'t have any interest in watching it anymore. So, he dispersed the meeting. Everyone understood his meaning and dispersed quietly.

After leaving the meeting hall, the Headmaster of the Crimson Hall first headed toward his cabin. In a few breaths he reached his cabin and stepped inside.

He looked around to see his assistant. But there is no silhouette. Shaking his head he leaned back in his seat in relaxation. He feels like he just escaped from great punishment. "Fortunately, the First Elder didn\'t plan on abusing me" He thought to himself.

"Creak"

The door slid open, his assistant walked inside and said, "Master?"

Seeing that he straightened his back and said, " First Elder, Gave instructions to arrange a quick meeting. You go back and collect the list immediately"

Hearing that his assistant quickly went back to do the work.

Then he immediately contacted his few connections to arrange the meeting on the other side. The Crimson Hall\'s allies consist of numerous forces including some small and large. He has some friends in other forces. He plans to inform them first then once his assistant collects the list. Then he will further scrutinise it further.

For a moment the face of Zack Lockwood flashes before him. From the First Elder and others\' attitude he understands that once this attack fails they won\'t do it next time. Especially since they won\'t do it under the name of Crimson Hall. There are some chances that Even First Elder will show some relaxation on this matter next time.

So, he wants this meeting to be successful. And whatever they plan they come up with at the end of the meeting. Its better be fool proof. He wants that kid to die no matter what. If somehow in the future that kid tried to avenge then his life would end in misery.

He clearly remembered that it was because of Hansen Campus interference. They got pitted against the Parazam Hunter League sometime ago. He has suffered huge losses because of that issue. He completely holed out his pocket to solve the issue.. After that he can only save his seat as Headmaster.
