Ancient Tears BloodLine - Chapter 664: Palmer Family’s end

From MC’s perspective:

Dining Hall,

“What’s your goal?” Ernest asked.

We were eating in the corner of the dining hall. There are not many people around us. So I looked at Ernest and asked back, “What do you mean by that?”

Suddenly, Laverne thought of something before saying, “He is thinking about plans. He wants to become an elder in the academy.”

Hearing that a look of understanding dawned on me. At the same time, my eyes flash with complex emotions.

I looked at two of them before saying, “I’m going to enter the inner post.”

Hearing that both of them were not surprised. At this point, both were clear that Zack had a special background.

“Inner post uh?” Laverne said with a sigh.

“I don’t know much about it. But as far as I know, the inner post is different from our region. That place is many times dangerous.”

“Since you have a backing. You can develop smoothly,” Ernest said.

Hearing that I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I recalled the words of Jonathan. From those words, I’m certain that there is extensive training awaiting me.

We then continued to talk about a few other things before finishing the plate.

After having breakfast, we got separated.

I decided to visit the monster zone as usual.

A few days later,

The subordinate sent by the Palmer family arrives in Viper City. He then found a famous inn to settle in. Then he starts to gather information about Zack Lockwood.

What he didn’t expect was the popularity of Zack Lockwood. Which is no less than that of Elite members of the Parazam Hunter League.

After going a few more rounds to gather intel. He came to his room at night. But his expression was dreadful.

Sitting down, he couldn’t help but fear the date of the Palmer Family. Especially the future of young master Henrick.

From the gathered intel. He came to a good understanding about the student named Zack Lockwood.

“He is not only popular. But has the backing of the dean and the faction head,” He said in his heart.

Not long ago, the Viper Academy did well in the student exchange meet. Zack Lockwood was representative of the academy.

What a big honor! He became thoughtful. He doesn’t know whether the Palmer Family can afford to offend this person.

From the Palmer Family Head’s task. He can see that the family head wants to decide after knowing about Zack Lockwood.

He hoped that the family head would give in. The person and the people behind him are too strong for the Palmer Family.

The next day, he left Viper City and rushed his way back towards the home.

Steel City:

After a few days of rushing back, the subordinate entered the Palmer Family’s household. But before he could meet the family head.

He came across Henrick Palmer.

On the other hand, Henrick Palmer quickly recognized the person. But he didn’t know about the task. So he ignored him.

The Sub-ordinate heaved a sigh of relief before rushing towards the study room.

Coincidently, Palmer was in the study room when he noticed the arrival of his subordinate.

Then he allowed him to enter inside.

Palmer saw the facial expression of the Sub-ordinate. Seeing that he frowned.

“What happened?” He asked.

The Sub-ordinate showed hesitation before starting to tell him about the intel he had gathered.

A few minutes later,

Palmer’s expression turned ugly as well. He didn’t expect anybody to have such a background.

If he had known this earlier, he would have stopped his son from associating with Crimson Hall’s remnants.

But his son’s greed surpassed the rational thoughts.

“Not good,” Palmer said to himself. If that warrior named Zack Lockwood wants to take revenge, then their Palmer Family would be over.

The only force that could deter the Viper Academy is the Parazam Hunter League. He intends to seek help from them. He stood up from the seat to leave.

Boom!

The next second, someone broke into the study room.

“Who are you?” The subordinate asked. Before he could attack.

Pfff!

His head burst into pieces like a watermelon. Blood splattered in different directions. Some of them splashed over Palmer’s face.

Seeing Palmer’s face filled with horror.

The attacker was none other than Jonathan. After killing the subordinate, he turned towards Palmer.

“Your son should have stayed away from unwanted troubles,” Jonathan said.

Hearing that Palmer felt a thunderclap ring in his head.

“You are,” He pointed his trembling hands at him. No need to guess. He realized the person had something to do with Zack Lockwood.

His son was staying at home. Thinking about his son’s condition right now. His face lost all blood.

“You are right,” Jonathan saw through his thoughts.

“Your son is dead,” He added.

Hearing that Palmer lost his control. He burst out in anger. Before he could attack. He met with the same fate as his subordinate.

Jonathan left the room and walked out of the mansion swiftly. There is also one dead body lying in a corner of the mansion. It’s the corpse of Henrick.

Unlike others, he didn’t know how he died until the end.

A few minutes later,

Jonathan left the city. But he didn’t leave right away. Instead, he found a random place to stay. He wants to know the aftermath of the incident.

After leaving Zack, he came to this city right away. Then he learned about the Palmer Family. As he had expected, the descendant of the Palmer Family had a casual relationship with the Crimson Hall’s remnants.

It’s not connected to the upper echelon of the Parazam Hunter League. But still, he wants to see whether anyone is going to jump out.

A few hours later,

The death of the Palmer Family Head and his son detonated the city. Everyone knows that the Palmer Family is part of the inner circle of the Parazam Hunter League.

However, the killer didn’t destroy the Palmer Family completely. But this act is tantamount to scratching the back of a tiger.

The other small and medium-sized forces are waiting to see the response of the Parazam Hunter League.

Meanwhile, n–In

In the middle of the steel city, there is a huge towering building.

The outer post-1012 manager of the Parazam Hunter League was disturbed by this sudden news. His post is equal to any dean of the Academy.

He has the authority to dispatch people and resources.

When he walked out of his room. He was greeted by the elders. Seeing them, he wasn’t surprised.

Instead, he asked, “Who did it?”

The Parazam Hunter League has its intelligence department. So he was expecting them to answer.

But all the elders looked at each other before shaking their heads.

Seeing that manager frowned. It’s not a secret that the Palmer Family is under their organization. So the killer must have been aware of the relationship.

Despite that, such a thing took place. The manager thought of something before saying, “See, whether the Palmer Family has offended anyone. Especially the Palmer Family Head and his son.”

Hearing that the elders left the place. Since there was no intel, there was nothing to discuss.

Shortly after, many people sprung into action. The Palmer Family members, servants, and guards are interrogated by Hunter League People.

A few hours later,

A comprehensive intel was placed in front of the manager. After reading it, he raised his eyebrows in confusion.

There was no connection found when tracing Palmer Family Head and his son. But when the intel team followed the traces of Subordinate.

It was found that he was last checked in the Viper City. Viper City is under the Viper Academy.

The Hunter League has spies in all cities. The purpose of the subordinate there was not confirmed yet.

The manager realized there was a missing link.

If they find out what the Palmer Family’s subordinate was doing there. Maybe they can find the missing link.

He doesn’t want to ask Viper Academy before having all the information. Then he instructed the intel team to collect missing information.

A few hours later,

Jonathan again secretly entered the city to observe. He quickly found out that the Parazam Hunter League was looking for a killer.

But they have no information whatsoever. After seeing that there were no loose ends, he left the city.

At the same time, there are many spies active in Viper City. They are investigating the Palmer Family’s subordinates.

That person had visited the city with purpose. They are looking at whether he had met with anyone before leaving the city.

The next day,

Jonathan met with Zack when he walked out of the dining hall.

“Is there any news?” I asked with a hint of expectation in my eyes.

Jonathan nodded before starting to explain.

A few minutes later,

I relaxed my eyebrows. But I revealed a bitter smile on my face.

“For getting treasure that guy had colluded with those remnants,” I said in a cold tone.

The reason was unacceptable. But if Jonathan says so, then there must be truth to it.

“The Hunter League members are investigating in full swing. You should stay in the academy,” Jonathan said.

Hearing that I nodded my head at him.
