From MC's Perspective:
Several hours later,
A huge city surrounded by massive walls on four sides appeared. Seeing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
"Viper City," I muttered to myself. I never expected to come here sooner. After a few minutes, the bird monster entered the city and the middle-aged man guided toward the monster facility.
My destination is not here. Otherwise, I would have taken the time to explore the city alone.
A few minutes later,
The bird monster landed in front of the monster facility. After stepping down, I bid goodbye to the person before walking away.
The target location is 50 miles away from here. I can use my flight ability to cover the distance sooner. While hatching the plan in mind. I continued to walk on.
The streets look busy. I remember the last time we had to stop outside of the city wall before entering the city.
But academy people have access to enter the city whenever they want.
People are coming and going out of the shops. There are many restaurants on either side of the streets.
Seeing that I got the urge to consume something before going out. I haven't had breakfast either.
Then I picked one of the busy shops to enter. I walked inside and glanced around the table.
I spotted two empty seats. Then I walked to take a seat.
Shortly after, I ordered the energy-rich monster meat. My appearance didn't cause any noise. All of them are warriors here. And it's normal for people from different cities to come here to trade.
When the food was served. I started to gulp it down.
Meanwhile, a middle-aged man with a slightly obese body greeted the customer enthusiastically. He was happy that the restaurant was filled with people. His name is Ronan Atick. The branch manager of a bright food restaurant.
After guiding him to the exit door. He glanced at the remaining customers. But his eyebrows trembled when he saw a certain someone. He immediately recognized the identity of the person who is eating right now.
"Zack Lockwood," He muttered in his heart. For Ronan, it was not easy to maintain the business. By using his connection. He had managed to compete with other businesses.
Among his connections, one of them helped him greatly. That person has a connection with the Giant Tower.
In return for helping his business run smoothly. That person requested something from him. Which is to share information on Saw Scaled Viper Academy Warriors.
And he has been doing the work without alarming the officials. But he had never expected to see the big fish here.
His friend has promised him a hefty amount. If he shares some important information on top warriors.
After realizing this his fat body trembled slightly. In order not to show any suspicion. He quickly walked to his office room.
He closed the door tightly before taking the seat. He then immediately typed and sent an encrypted message to his friend.
Meanwhile,
After completing the food, I got up from the seat. Shortly after, I left the restaurant after paying the amount.
Right now, I'm walking to the City Gate. Once I get out of the city, I will use my flight ability to move.
Several minutes later,
I reached the City Gate. There is a system installed to verify the identity. I used my academy identity number for verification. The entire Viper City is the property of an academy.
The next moment, I received the green signal.
Creak~
A door opened between the iron wall. Seeing that I entered to walk out. The door leads towards the exit. But I'm surprised by the thickness of the City Wall.
Even a level-6 Monster won't be able to make a dent in it. After walking out of the door, I breathe in fresh outside air.
The area outside is desolate. Outside of the City Wall, you can only find a vast open field. The lands were barren without any green dense vegetation.
Sighing~
After sighing, I opened the map to view it. There is only one town which is 50 miles away from here. And I think it's the target location.
Swish~
After closing the map, I rose from the ground and began to fly toward the destination.
Meanwhile,
The Giant Tower:
The SSVA academy has an intelligent network. Similarly, the Giant Tower has its intelligence department.
Right now, one of the lower-level staff is looking at the message with a bewildered expression on their face.
He doesn't know whether the information is true or not. He has known Ronan for a long time. Apart from working here, he too has a side business.
It was coincidental to meet someone from Viper City. But after a long time, their relationship became steady. He even used Ronan to gather intel on Saw Scaled Viper Academy Warriors.
If the news is true, then he will get a big promotion. He calmed down before texting his friend again.
Shortly after, he received a positive reply from Ronan.
"Ha....Ha...Ha...," He let out joyful laughter.
The news is good to be true. But he believes Ronan won't lie to him. Because Zack Lockwood is a famous warrior. His appearance was long known to everyone.
So there was no possibility of a mistake here.
Creak~
He hurriedly walked out of his room and rushed to the elder office. He should inform his direct superior. But he knows that sly would take credit for himself.
While he is rushing, people look at him with strange gazes. Seeing that he sneered inside. "It will be a matter of time before I get a promotion."
"Then I'll see your arrogant gazes then," He said in his heart.
A few minutes later,
He arrived in front of the elder's room. Looking at the high facility room. A dignified expression appeared on his face.
"Hey, you lowly ?"
"What are you doing here?"
At this time some people spotted someone without authority coming here. Because the distinction can be seen in their dress.
His uniform is given to bottom-level staff.
Hearing the smearing, he wasn't flustered.
"I want to see elder"
"I have some urgent news to share with him," He answered.
Hearing that people are surprised. But soon it was replaced with anger. Who is the elder? Why would someone like to see bottom-level staff?
The warriors started to scold.
Creak~
The next moment, the door in front of him opened automatically. He realized the elder is watching everything through the camera.
Ignoring their smearing, he walked inside. Right after, the door closed automatically. The warriors were stunned looking at the whole scene.
"You are?" An old man in his sixties looked down at the staff.
"Hi elder, my name is Miles. I got some information useful to you," Miles answered calmly.
The old man nodded his head. Signaling him to go on.
Seeing that Miles revealed the information.
At first, the elder was calm. But when he heard the word "Zack Lockwood."
He lost his composure. "How is this possible?"
"Are you lying to me?" The old man asked.
A heavy pressure broke out from his body and pressed Miles to the ground. Miles, who was unprepared, was caught off guard. He suffered small injuries to the body.
"Elder it's true, you can verify with someone else," Miles answered.
The next moment the pressure disappeared.
Tud~
Miles slumped on the ground. His entire back went cold. He regrets it slightly. He knows that high-level people won't believe him. So he decides to wait for the elder to confirm.
The Elder immediately contacted his subordinates to come here. People are investigating Zack Lockwood. If Zack was truly out of the academy, then they got a good opportunity to kill him.
He knows their Giant Tower lost face in student exchange some time ago. So now they have a chance to redeem it.
Shortly after, 6 people entered the office.
All of them looked burly. They are practicing Giant Tower's cultivation methods. So their physiques are well developed. Their body strength is similar to a small tower.
The elder turned towards his subordinates and asked them to confirm something.
Hearing that the faces of 6 of them changed. Right after, they began to collect the news from their channels.
The Giant Tower's informer is studying at the Saw Scaled Viper Academy. But he was a person of an -grade institution. Compared to A Grade Institute's monitoring. The rest of the institute isn't monitored strictly.
The weakness allowed Giant Tower Academy to make use of it.
After a few minutes, one of the subordinates stepped forward and said, "Elder, the news is true. The informer was not sure about the reason."
"He said that on their academy site, Zack Lockwood's name is trending. Some of them saw Zack Lockwood picking up a mission in the morning."
"That's right, he is going on n a mission," Elder said in a cold tone.
The next moment, he turned toward the person on the ground.
"Your name is Miles, right?" The elder asked.
Hearing that, Miles answered, "Yes, elder."
"You did a good job. You will get your promotion soon. Now you can leave," The elder said.
Hearing that Miles hurriedly thanked before leaving the office room. He couldn't wait to get out and enjoy.
