Ancient Tears BloodLine

The imposter doesn't have a clue. Whether opposite party knows his level or not. Either way Elder Thornton decided to confront him. Because his level is not consistent with the report. While Zack was having food. He connected call with Mr. Arthur Emerson.

Once the call connected with Mr. Arthur. He said, "Arthur, I'm now clear that he is imposter. He is at Trainee level(Sub elite ). To think someone like him worming in a branch office behind desk it's inconceivable. I'm planning to confront him."

Hearing that expression of Mr. Arthur changes drastically. He answered, "Which force have power to send sub elite person?" He blurted out. He too have same thinking like Elder Thornton. He himself at peak of Sub Elite.

Hansen only got one elite person that is Elder Thornton. To think the killer is sublevel. He thought, it's definitely not small organisation.

He commented, " Elder, You must catch him alive. Otherwise, we won't know which force is it. There is still long time await for Zack to enroll in the academy. If the enemy send few elite level then we will have no strength to face them by then"

On the other side, Elder Thornton nodded after hearing his words. He answered, "Don't worry, I'll try to hold him back. If not I'll kill him." When he uttered those words there is ruthless glint flashes in his eyes. He didn't believe himself, just in few days. This situation developed to this extent.

Then both of them talked few other things then ended their call.

…

(Zack's Perspective)

Meanwhile,

The food given by this restaurant is somewhat okay. I'm still faraway from eating monster's meat. There are few variety of Class Monsters. Their meat is edible for humans. But it is not afforded by everyone. Especially in Tier-8 cities. Realizing that my yearning for Tier-7 cities and above even grown further.

The Quality of life there is somewhat different. Shaking my head, I continued to gulped down the food. A few minutes later, I exited the restaurant after paying the bill.

After walking down the streets, I looked into the train's departure time. "There is still one hour to go" I mumbled under my breath.

Should I tour around the city? Or it's better to wait near the train station. I looked around, there is nothing interest me in this place, except coniferous forest Monster Zone. Earlier, I already gained enough knowledge about this place. So, it's waste of time to spend here. After that I booked an air cab to travel to train station.

A few minutes later, the Marsh City's train station came into view. After the cab landed at the platform. I stepped out and entered the waiting room. While doing that, I also observed the surrounding. So far I didn't felt any one peeping on me. This is also good, I need some rest from those assassins. Shaking my head, I began to relax at the waiting area.

…

When Zack went into the waiting area. A person walk passed by that area. He is none other than imposter Simon Mills. After confirming Zack is indeed waiting for his train. He wore a vicious grin on his face. "Now, it's time to deal with the old man" He mumbled under his breath. He then stroll towards the exit area and walk in front of the old man. He then looked into the old figure and said, "Hello, I want to tell you something."

The old man is none other than Elder Thornton. After that quick chat with Arthur. He waited patiently for this moment. But, who would have thought that enemy had a same thinking like him. After hearing words now, he understood something in his heart. This guy didn't know his identity. Otherwise, he wouldn't have confront him like that. Elder Thornton thought, he did good by hiding his breath.

Otherwise, this guy would have scared to death by him. Then plans to not to expose his identity. Until they move quite distance away from city.

Then Elder Thornton nodded at him and answered, "Okay, Can we talk here!" While saying that he glanced at the waiting area.

Seeing his action, imposter Simon Mills misunderstood him. He smirked inside, "Looks like the old man didn't want to leave this kid." He said to himself. Then he try to act amicably by saying, "Not, here! My office is quite distance from here. We will go there.

Don't worry it won't take five minutes."

Elder Thornton thought it's also good for him, So he nodded. Then both of them quietly left the area of the train station. Imposter Simon Mills purposely led him to the isolated area. From time to time, he looked backwards to notice the old man's expression. Seeing the other party didn't doubt him. He became delighted inside. "The old man is fool, to think he is an veteran mercenary. I almost fool myself." He mumbled under my breath.

Later, After arriving at the isolated street far away from border wall. The imposter Simon Mills halted his movements. He released his breath suddenly at the pedestrians. Few people walking down the street feeling his breath ran away from this place. The act of looting is quite common in isolated place.

They thought he is a rouge warrior it's better to ran away from this place. Soon, the isolated street became quite. A few shop owners closed their shop abruptly. Some even tried to reach out patrol team. Seeing that Imposter Simon Mills didn't care. He thought before some one come here. He should deal with this old man. He then turned towards to see old man's reaction. But he dumbfounded.

"Why is he smiling?"

"What happened?"

Imposter Simon Mills said to himself.

On the other hand, Elder Thornton smiling ear to ear. He thought whole ordeal is laughable. Especially, the imposter released his breath to scare away the pedestrians. Seeing imposter's dumbfounded look. Elder Thornton sneered. Then he made a move.

Elder Thornton didn't release his Elite level breath, it will alarm the city. So, he shoot directly. He appeared in front of him and made a slap.

"Puf" blood spills from his nose

Simon Mills knocked out completely. Until the last moment he had a disbelief look on his face. He failed to make out ins and outs. Elder Thornton palm print imprinted on his face. As a result it reddened completely. He fell unconscious sooner.

Elder Thornton appeared beside him and took his body away. He needed him alive for interrogation. So, that why he didn't kill him. It's Elite level body strength is enough for him to contend with imposter Mills. After than he crossed across few streets before he infiltrated into some empty house hold.

After placed his body in the ground. Elder Thornton took out a sleeping pill and fed him. Even though he is unconscious without sleeping pill. He will woke up soon. Elder Thornton doesn't want to happen that. Then he called Arthur. As the call is connected a holographic image of Mr. Arthur's face appear. When Mr. Arthur spotted unconscious body behind Elder Thornton. He knew Elder Succeeded.

Elder Thornton said, "When will you arrive here?" Elder Thornton felt impatient inside. He didn't want to leave Zack from his sight. He can't afford to be careless now. If something happens to Zack. That esteemed person would definitely plant me. He sighed.

Hearing that Mr. Arthur answered, "I will arrive there by next train." Then Mr. Arthur somewhat confused inside. He thought Elder was busy. To think he would take matter in his hands he somewhat pleased inside. He thought Elder Thornton did it for Hansen's reputation. If not, he would mind his own business.

Then Elder Thornton told him his plan. Since, he can't stay here. It's best to tie this imposter here somewhere. This is an empty house. It is put for a sale. So, it's best place complete their plan since no one here to disturb them. Hearing Elder Thornton's plan Mr. Arthur satisfied and nodded at him. He told Elder Thornton that he will handle the interrogation. After then they review their plan and ended their call.

After placing him in somewhere dark room. Elder Thornton left the place. And he made his way towards the train station. The imposter lay there in the dark room with his hands and feets were tied up completely. Complete in sate of unconscious, it will take eight hours to awake due to sleeping pill. His valuables and wrist watch were taken up by the elder along the way earlier. Otherwise, it would expose their location.

After leaving the empty house hold, Elder Thornton reaches the train station. The wrist watch lit up with notification. Elder Thornton confused it's not his wrist watch. It was from the valuables collected from imposter. Upon seeing the wrist watch of the imposter. Elder Thornton shows a intrigued look. The name shown on the screen is named as boss. After seeing that he knew it's the boss of the imposter.

...

On the other hand, the train to red stone city station is departed from Marsh City. Zack boarded the train and Elder Thornton also followed him.. After they left the city, soon the isolated street is searched by the patrol team.
