Chapter 662 Truth about parents
From MC's perspective:
After grieving the demise of Granny Park, I entered my former room to take a bath.
20 minutes later,
I changed to my old comfort clothes. But they didn't fit my size. Then I decided to wear it for some time.
Lying down on the bed, I couldn't help but recall my mistakes. After destroying the Crimson Hall, I was so eager to join the Academy that I almost forgot about the remnants.
To be honest, I put most of my trust in Jonathan. I believed in him. But in the end, even he didn't expect the counterattack from the remnants.
"Who is behind all of this?" I said in my heart. Hanson Academy was gone. It's impossible to turn back the clock. At least, I can kill the people who are responsible for this incident.
The next morning,
After completing the morning routine, I went to take a bath.
Later, I changed to new comfort clothes. I don't want to practice here because of the lack of world energy.
After getting ready, I went downstairs and arrived in the living room. Uncle James was here making tea.
"You are here," James said in a normal tone. Then he asked him to sit down. James was aware of Zack's mental state.
Zack's mind was in turmoil not only because of Ms. Park's sudden death. It is also because of Hansen's destruction. He didn't have a brief chat about this yesterday.
Now he wants to have a conversation with Zack about everything including a decade-old buried secret in his heart.
"Zack, I was not in the city when Hansen's destruction happened," James said.
Hearing that I clenched my fist.
This scene didn't go unnoticed under James' eyes. He sighed inwardly. He knows the news must have hit hard.
"You must understand you can't control everything around you. Someone dared to touch Hansen. Which means they are not afraid of you or your academy."
"So you have to be careful in the future," James said.
"Don't worry, Uncle James. I know my limit. It's just that I was careless. I thought no one was there to pose a threat to Hanson Academy," I replied to him.
After saying that I let out a sigh. To be honest, today I feel a lot better than yesterday. Now, I have some clarity in mind.
James saw Zack's reaction. Seeing that he was doing fine, he decided to reveal an important truth.
"Zack, I want to tell you something more important," James asked.
Hearing that I nodded my head at him.
"It's about your parents. You have always wanted to hear about your parents right? Now I'm going to tell you some truth," James said.
But his words fell like a thunderclap in my ears. I grew up in an orphanage. So this topic was nothing new to me.
But Uncle James said before that my parents are normal adventurers. They have died in a monster horde attack.
"So what is he going to reveal?" I said in my heart.
"When I was working in that old border town. I have cross-checked your parent's identity. I found out it was fake background information," James said.
"It's impossible to forge such information. It can be only done by big influences," He added.
Hearing that I don't know how to react for a moment.
Then I asked, "What else?"
James then started to speak about the meteor fall incident that happened at Maple City. At that spot, he found Zack as an infant baby.
A few minutes later,
"I also know some classified information. But I can't leak that information to you."
"I believe your teacher will brief you at the right time," James said.
He was no stranger to classified information such as outer posts and inner posts. After spending so many years in the Army Federation. He came to know about a few things. He knows that a huge war is going on.
The region is divided into outer post and inner post because of that war.
Which is why he had accepted when that mysterious person came to accept Zack as his student.
On the other hand, I felt my mind loaded with information. I stood up and started walking to the exit.
At this moment, I need a fresh breath of air.
After walking out of the home, I looked around before appearing in mid-air. Then I started moving towards the small hilltop.
Soon, I reached the hilltop and landed on the ground.
From this place, I raised my head to look down at the small city below. I feel relaxed while appreciating the view.
Then I sat on the bedrock before recalling the conversation. Uncle James seemed different. Earlier, I thought he was ignorant and didn't know much about the inner post.
But now that I look back. I realized he was not ignorant but he was not allowed to spill the information.
When it comes to my parents. I don't know how to react. According to Uncle James, my parents are not ordinary people. Then how come they die from the monster horde?
If they are from certain forces, then the monster horde should have been nothing to them. I guess he was wrong about this one.
Shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts.
Swish!
When I was pondering, I felt someone appear behind my back.
The person is none other than Jonathan.
"You have found a nice place to enjoy the city view," Jonathan said.
Hearing that I revealed a small smile on my face.
Jonathan saw Zack in a better mood.
He said, "I found the culprit behind the Hansen attack."
I looked at him and asked, "Which academy is it?"
Jonathan shook his head before saying, "It's a big fish. The power of the fish is enough to cause a headache to master.
Hearing that my expression changes drastically. Before I could ask further.
Jonathan said, "An elite warrior named Henrick gave the order to the City Lord. Not only that, he also supported the remnants to attack Hansen."
"Henrick," I etched the name in my heart.
"He is from the Adventure Union. On top of it, his family is part of the inner circle. I have yet to find their connection to the Crimson Hall," Jonathan said.
Seeing Zack's worrying expression, he further added, "Don't worry, I think the person named Henrick had acted independently. I guess it has nothing to do with the Adventure Union."
Hearing that a hint of relief flashes in my eyes.
"Now, let's go to the willow city. You can take care of the remaining family," Jonathan said.
Then we both started moving towards Willow City.
Soon, we reached the willow city. When we arrived above the newly built mansion. I saw the place was crowded with people.
"I killed the young master of this family to extract information," Jonathan said.
Hearing that I nodded my head.
"You can kill the old patriarch. That guy was the main reason behind the attack. He brainwashed other family elders to support his goals," Jonathan said.
Swish!
In the blink of an eye, I landed on the ground.
The people who were on the ground were surprised by my appearance.
The next second, I released a small coercion on them.
Pfff!
The pressure brought everyone to their knees. One by one the warriors collapsed onto the ground.
Some strong warriors spilled blood as their internal organs were injured. Others fainted on the spot.
The next second, I walked into the building. Upon seeing my arrival, the family members tried to block me.
Pfff!
But everyone turned to blood mist. Then I inquired about the place of the patriarch from one of the servants.
The next second, I rushed towards the place. The room was located deep inside the building.
When I got here. I heard people's conversations.
Boom!
The next second, my coercion blasted away the room walls.
The aftermath has hit the elders inside.
Argh!
One after another they let out agonizing screams.
"Who is it?" The next second, I heard a deep voice.
Hearing that my eyes flickered. This must be the voice of an old patriarch.
I slowly walked into the room. Then I saw elders lying on the ground except one.
That person is the old patriarch seated in the main chair.
"Who are you excellency?" The old man asked.
He saw that coercion alone disabled everyone.
But when he saw the face. He felt it was a familiar voice. Then the image of Zack Lockwood comes to his mind.
It was at that time when the late headmaster shared the image and information with everyone.
But now looking at the person in front of him.
A look of understanding dawned on him.
"So you are back," He said in a trembling tone. His whole body started to shake.
Yesterday, his son died. Now the whole family is going to accompany him.
On the other hand, I looked at the old man's terrified expression. There is no need to extract information. I decided to kill everyone.
Pfff!
The next second, the old man's body exploded into pieces. In the blink of an eye, all the elders were dead as well from my coercion.
