Carlos Kent furrowed his eyebrows. Then he quickly comes up with a lie to convince him.
"Headmaster, I'm slightly busy with the academy work. And the dean is already watching over me."
"I thought it's not good to contact you during that time," He added further.
The Giant Tower Headmaster believed Carlos' words. He knows about Carlos' character. One mountain can't contain 2 tigers.
Otherwise, Carlos wouldn't have accepted his resources.
Then the Giant Headmaster decided to talk about the main topic.
"Carlos, are you satisfied with the current resources?" He asked.
On the other hand, Carlos was surprised. Why is the Giant Tower Headmaster suddenly talking about the resources? Is he going to give more?
Carlos imagined something else.
So he answered,"After the breakthrough, the resources of mine are depleted. Now I'm left with a few high grade pills. That's all."
The Giant Tower Headmaster smiled. He felt Carlos had taken the bait. Then he said,"Carlos, what if there is an opportunity to get more resources?"
Carlos Kent stood up in front of the seat. His eyes flickered. The Headmaster's words are tempting. But he knows about his job as well. There was someone behind the scenes.
Otherwise, the Headmaster won't speak like this. He himself consumed half of the resources of the Giant Tower Academy.
Where is he going to get other resources? For a moment, Carlos doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The Headmaster's offer came too late. If it was earlier, he would have agreed immediately. But now he can only cry in his heart.
"Carlos?"
Hearing his name, Carlos quickly recovered his thoughts. Then he replied," Headmaster, are you serious?"
"I thought that Giant Tower Academy didn't have any resources left."
Hearing that the headmaster realizes his mistake. But he recovered his expression quickly.
"Carlos, the resources are not from the academy. But it's from a different channel."
"If you join me, I can get you those resources," He said.
Carlos was silent. If he wants to collect information, then it can be only done by joining his team.
"Alright, I agree," He answered.

From MC's Perspective:
The black aircraft reaches the destination a few hours later. Throughout the entire journey. I remained silent. I didn't even talk to the guards.
The black aircraft slowly descends on the ground. Through the window I can see the long stretched mountains.
The mountain peak, especially the uneven mountain, is quite eye-catching. My gaze set on the purple lightning. The top of the mountain is continuously bombarded by lightning strikes.
Tud~
The black aircraft lands at the foot of the mountain.
Creak~
The door opened. Seeing that I stood up from the seat. Before I could walk out the 2 guards appeared in front of me.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the top," The male warrior said.
A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. Before coming here, I thought that the strength of these two warriors were not ordinary.
Right now, my assumption is right.
Then three of us stepped out of the black aircraft. Right after, the male warrior grabbed my shoulder and took me to the top of the mountain.
Thunder~
Thundering sound reverberated through the area. The ground was scorched black by the continuous strike of the purple lightning.
If any average elite warrior comes to this place, he would be gravely injured. The power of lightning can endanger the Super Elite Warrior.
But I'm not afraid at all. I can feel the presence of lightning energy here. This is the perfect place for lightning cultivation.
Then we landed on the ground.
"A lightning strike can injure you."
"Do you really want to cultivate here?"
The male warrior asked. He can feel the power of the lightning. Which is above the Elite level. His face was solemn.
Hearing that I replied,"No, this place was perfect. I have a barrier with me. Which can withstand the lightning strikes."
The male warrior nodded before leaving the place. Right after his disappearance my eyes flickered.
"He is strong," I muttered in my heart. But I wasn't able to gauge the exact strength of the person.
Then pushing down these thoughts. I turned to the right side. I found a good spot for the barrier. The next second, I took out the artifact from the storage ring.
After placing it on the ground, I activated it. Soon an invisible dome covered the ground.
Boom~
The lightning strikes hit the barrier one after another. But the strikes weren't able to break the barrier.
Seeing that I found the empty spot to sit down. Sitting cross-legged, I started to run the celestial scripture.
Right after, the rune in my mind starts to flicker. Then I started to sense the purple energy from the surroundings.
Slowly, I started to absorb the energy from the surroundings. When the purple energy entered my body.
I started to guide the energy according to the celestial scripture.
The purple energy began to flow through my veins. After circulation, the purple energy entered my dantian.
The refined purple essence settles down. But the amount of purple essence was pitiful. Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.
Meanwhile,
The two guardians are closely monitoring the situation. Seeing the working of the barrier. Both of them are surprised.
"It's not easy to find such an item in our region," The female warrior commented.
"Maybe it's the work of the dean," The Male warrior replied.
They don't believe that Zack has the capacity to buy such an item. As this place was found by the dean, they thought the dean had given the artifact to him.
...
The Azure City,
A prosperous city has covered a wide land mass. Unlike other cities, there are proper city walls built for the protection.
The society is divided into classes. The upper class people are living in the main city surrounded by the inner city walls.
Whereas the regular citizens, travelers, merchants and the rogue warriors are living in between the inner city wall and the outer city wall.
The City was so huge that even the land between the inner city wall and the outer city wall was enough to build another city.
The Inner City has many rich families living in it. Amongst them Blevins Family and Morrow Family are major ones.
Right now, the whole azure city was in a state of alert. Because a strong rumor is spreading all over the city.
The Head of the Blevins family successfully breakthroughs in his retreat. Now the whole city was in a state of alert.
Before the azure city was under the jurisdiction of the Saw Scale Viper Academy. If someone meets the conditions set by the Academy, they can become the new city lord.
The news was only known to the major families living in the inner city. But the normal citizens are clueless about this.
Morrow Family,
The courtyard of the Morrow family is deserted. The guards responsible for the protection resigned from their jobs.
Everyone knows that the Morrow Family was equal in power with the Blevins Family earlier. Nobody knows that rumors are true or false.
But all the private employees left the place. Only the family members are living in this building.
In the House, the family elders are gathered for the meeting. Everyone's face crept with worry. They know the rivalry between the 2 families. The Blevins family won't let them off.
"I heard the daughter of our head has returned from the academy. May be she can provide some help"
One of the family elders raised the point.
Hearing that face of the remaining elders turned bright. The family situation was dire. Only the people from the academy can help them.
In the family head's cabin, Laverne Morrow is standing in front of her father. Scott Morrow, the head of the Morrow Family was sitting behind the desk.
He appears to be a middle aged man with the black hair and eyes. He is Peak Stage Super Elite Warrior. If it was in the academy, the Super Elite Warriors are graduate students of the academy.
But here in this city, the Super Elite Warriors are a peak powerhouse. But the Blevins Family head has become half-step SS Elite Warrior.
He knows that guy won't give any chance. The Blevins family people are already overbearing. In future it would become even more worse.
Scott realizes that her daughter was here. He turned toward her and asked,"Laverne, what happened?"
Laverne raised her head and said,"Ernest called me a couple of minutes ago. He told me that the dean has agreed to help her."
"But she wants to settle our family in some other place."
Hearing that Scott eases his eyebrows. He thought there was no escape. Thankfully his daughter has brought some solutions. At least the family members got some chance.
"Laverne, you did a good job"
"Now our family can breathe a sigh of relief."
Scott said with a smile.
...
Back in the academy, Michael is looking for Laverne and Ernest. But he wasn't able to find them.
"Monster Zone," Michael muttered to himself.
He remembered the trio gathered in the Transportation Tower yesterday. Perhaps they entered the monster zone already.
After gaining some clarity, he returned to his room in disappointment.
