Chapter 554  Laverne\'s trouble

The person disguised in black looked at the Giant Tower Headmaster.

The Giant Tower Headmaster\'s back turned cold. He knew the mood of this middle man. If he offends him, then there will be no place to hide.

He was playing the role of a pawn. Which can be removed any time. So he is hoping that Carlos will attend his call.

Suddenly, the connection was established.

Seeing that a hint of relief flashes in his eyes.

He asked,"Carlos, are you there?"

From the other end of the call, an impatient voice sounded.

"Headmaster, I have told you before that kid was poisoned. Now everyone is staring at his dorm room."

"It\'s not the best time to confirm his death. Instead it will only raise suspicion, if I go there," Carlos said.

At this time, the eyes of a person in disguise flickered. He came here to confirm the death of Zack Lockwood.

But it looks Like it\'s not gonna happen at this time.

The Giant Tower Headmaster frowned. From the side eyes, he is observing the expression of a man in disguise.

But he failed to spot anything.

Then the person in disguise signaled him to end the call.

The Giant Tower Headmaster nodded his head before saying,"Carlos, call me soon. When you confirm that kid\'s death."

After saying that he ended the call. Then he turned toward the person in disguise.

"Sir, what should I do now?" He asked.

"What is the character of this person?" The person in disguise asked. At this moment, he is thinking of using the person named Carlos Kent.

The Giant Tower Headmaster was stunned. Then he replied,"Sir, this person is extremely greedy. I exhausted nearly half of the treasure vault for his breakthrough."

The person in disguise remained silent for a moment.

"Try to lure him to our side," The person in disguise said.

Hearing that the Giant Tower Headmaster hesitated. It\'s not that he doesn\'t want to offend him.

In order to lure, it\'s inevitable to share some of the secrets. Otherwise, why would another person join him? When it comes to Carlos Kent.

That person was extremely cautious. It won\'t be easy to lure him without offering anything in return.

The person in disguise saw through his struggle and asked,"What\'s bothering you?"

The Giant Tower Headmaster nodded his head before starting speaking.

"You can tell him a few things indirectly," The person in disguise said.

Then they spoke a few minutes before leaving the room.

...

From MC\'s perspective:

The following day,

After getting ready, I left the room. When I stepped out of the dorm building. I saw a group of warriors waiting for me.

"This?" I stopped my footsteps for a moment.

Looks like the effect of yesterday\'s duel is still working. This is going to trouble me for a few days.

The duel win has gathered good popularity. Now there are people gathered from different factions who simply want to get to know Zack Lockwood.

Ignoring their gazes, I started walking to the dining hall.

Soon, I reached the place. As usual two people are waiting for me. They are none other than Ernest and Laverne.

Looking at Zack\'s good complexion. Both sighed in relief.

Ernest and Laverne quickly came forward.

"Zack, you look better now," Laverne commented.

I smiled in response.

"Let\'s go inside, we have something to tell you," Ernest said.

A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. Both of them looked at each other before turning toward me.

"Alright," I agreed, then we walked inside the dining hall.

I don\'t know what they are going to say? But their faces looked solemn.

Soon we received our food plate from the counter and found a gathering.

Even though it\'s late to have breakfast at this time. But people are good place to sit down. At the same time, a crowd is slowly gathering.

Even though it\'s late to have breakfast at this time. But people are simply entering the dining hall.

"Your fame has simply risen to a new level."

"They are here for you," Laverne said.

I shook my head in response.

Then I started to cut the monster meat into pieces and took a bite. I almost forgot about their earlier words and started to enjoy the food.

When I realized the faces of Ernest and Laverne are extremely grave. I placed the forks on the plate and asked,"What happened?"

"If you are worrying about Carlos Kent, don\'t worry he won\'t be bothering us anymore," I added further.

Apart from this, I couldn\'t think of anything else troubling them.

But Ernest and Laverne\'s expressions remained with them.

"What?" I asked.

Ernest sighed before saying,"Michael is going to end his retreat. He texted me last night."

"Michael?" I uttered in surprise.

I remember he was the group leader of these two. It\'s that after his retreat these guys began to team up with me.

But what\'s with him? As far as I know, that person was not troublesome. Is there anything else? I don\'t know about him.

I squinted my eyes.

"You guys can tell me anything. I\'ll try my best to help you guys out," I replied.

When I uttered those words. Laverne\'s eyes become misty. She is on the verge of breaking down.

"What happened?" I asked. I never saw her shedding tears before. Even during a fight against a group of rogue warriors. She fought bravely.

So what happened now? I couldn\'t understand what is happening right now? I turned towards Ernest.

I asked,"Ernest, tell me. What is going on?"

Laverne controlled her emotions.

Ernest shook his head before asking,"What do you think of Michael?"

Hearing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.

"Don\'t tell me. He is another arrogant b@stard," I replied in a calm tone.

But seeing Ernest nodding his head. My eyes widened in disbelief..

"Michael was not an innocent person as you think. Both Michael\'s family and Laverne\'s family are living in the same city."

"Michael\'s father wants to suppress Laverne\'s family. If Michael breakthroughs then their power will be increased," Ernest said.

Hearing that I somewhat understand their situation. It\'s normal to have competition between these families.

But it was not that life threatening matter.

Ernest saw the doubts of Zack. So he explained again.

"Michael\'s father has some connections with other academies. If their family power increases again, then the Laverne family would suffer heavy loss."

"Laverne fears that her father\'s life would be in danger," Ernest added.

Hearing that a look of understanding dawned on me.

"What about Michael?" I asked.

Ernest didn\'t hide it anymore and said,"He will definitely pressure Laverne to surrender her. In this way, their family can get more resources."

"In the end it\'s all about resources," I muttered. Carlos Kent has changed sides because he lacked resources in the academy.

Dean wants me to participate in the year end conference. So that the academy can gain more quota for resources.

And here, Michael\'s family is eyeing Laverne\'s family for resources. Is there any place where warriors can cultivate with peace of mind?

I shook my head and asked,"So what should I do?"

At this moment, Laverne opened her mouth to speak. "I want you to request the dean for help. If she moves her hand, it will be easily resolved," Laverne said.

After spending time with me, these two are aware that I have a connection with the dean. But it\'s lending a hand.

I nodded my head and said,"Don\'t worry, I\'ll ask her."

Only after, I see their expressions become better.

10 minutes later,

After having breakfast, I separated from them. Before leaving I once again promised them. Shaking my head, I started heading toward the dean\'s office.

On the way, I couldn\'t help but think of Michael. I thought he was a nice senior. But their family got wolf ambition.

They really want to swallow Laverne\'s family. But if her information is true then, then the Michael family is not simple.

If they had connections with other academies, then they wouldn\'t be stopped by my threats or other genius warriors studying in the academy.

Only the dean\'s words can deter them. After pushing down these thoughts, I increased my pace.

A few minutes later,

I arrived before her cabin. Before I could also ask for permission. The door opened automatically.

Seeing that I walked inside the room. Dean Rebecca is working behind the desk as usual.

I was disappointed with her actions earlier. But now Carlos Kent has changed sides. So earlier anger disappeared from my heart.

But suddenly, I recalled Jonathan\'s words. The supreme elder is a troublesome person. I still have to up my guard.

Rebecca noticed Zack then she asked him to sit down.

After stopped doing her work, she turned toward Zack. Her eyes observed Zack\'s body. "True,"She found the purple essence. And Zack\'s complexion seems a lot better as well.

"Zack?"

"Can you tell me?"

"Where did you find the purple essence?"She asked.

Hearing that I sighed inwardly. But I didn\'t show any emotions on my face. I knew she would ask me this question. But I remembered Jonathan\'s words.

"I used the emergency resources," I replied.

"Emergency resources?" Rebecca frowned.

Then I started to tell a plain lie. After a few minutes, Rebecca relaxed her eyebrows. She didn\'t expect the person behind Zack would help him in this way.
