Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From MC's Perspective)

Mansion of the City Lord,

Looking at the quiet man in front of me, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows. Before coming here, I thought this guy would be unreasonable. But, it looks like he really can't believe the fact that a young man like me achieved this feat.

What happens? If I reveal my identity, Will he believe me? A curious glint flashes in my eyes. I can't drag this out any longer.

I looked into his eyes and said, "Can you stop doubting me and give my reward money?"

My words brought him back to reality. He looked at me and said, "Okay, you can leave now. The reward amount will be transferred within the evening. "

Hearing that, I was stunned. Did I hear it wrong? But looking at his serious face, I believe it's true. Then I revealed a small smile before saying, "Thank you for your understanding."

After saying that, I got up from the seat and walked towards the exit.

Lawrence's eyes gleamed with surprise at seeing the disappearing back of the young man. The reason he decided to let it go was because of the rules formed by the city lord mansion.

If anyone hears about his treatment of this kid, it will raise several eyebrows. And secondly, he didn't know about the kid's background. which also made him not act rashly.

At this time, the reminder of Ms. Melinda comes to his mind. If he is truly from a powerful background, then there will be several peak trainee warriors in his family.

Like an old sly fox, he knows how to retreat and move forward. Let the young man walk out; that doesn't mean he won't verify the truth. Once his mission achievement is revealed to the public, it will be a huge facelift for their city lord.

And when it happens, in one way or another, this young man's background will be revealed. His old mouth reveals a cunning smile. He is already planning on how to cash in on this.

This method seems more feasible than directly confronting the young man. If it's the former, there will be trouble for him, as for now he only needs to release the news, he won't held accountable.

The rest will be taken care of by the interested people. He chuckled slightly, imagining the situation.

On the other hand, after waking out of the building, I breathed in relief. This matter ended without any bloodshed. I was actually prepared to fight against the city guards. In the end, it resulted in no need for such a scene.

But I have a feeling in my heart that this is not that simple. The next second, my lips curved into a gentle arc. My strength is sufficient to deal with Trainee Warrior. If I can get another breakthrough, I'm sure to tie with Peak Trainee Warriors.

In other words, I have no opponents in Tier-8 cities. I smirked, realising that. Next, I decided to return to the hotel without any delay.

Several minutes later,

I collapsed into bed. Today was such a rollercoaster for me. In order to recover my mind, I need some rest. Without realizing myself, I fell asleep.

Time passes,

A couple of hours later,

News broke out from the city lord's mansion, which swept away the entire city like an earthquake.

Someone won 1 billion credit points for a bandit hunting mission. This is one piece of news released by the City Lord Mansion. But they strictly kept quiet about the details of the mission.

When the news reached the media houses, they went into a frenzy. Soon the gate of the city lord's mansion is swarmed by the people. Most of the people were reporters and streamers. A few powerful adventurer teams can be seen roaming the area.

As for the common folks, this news brought them great relief. There are actually people who are capable of this feat. The family of the victims burst into tears. Even some of the retired veterans thought this news was too good to hear.

But all of them failed to notice that the city lord's mansion didn't disclose the identity of the person. Residents and media houses assumed it was done by a pretty strong adventure team. This sparked further discussion about whether it was done by an existing strong team or by a new team from outside.

This topic is beginning to trend in news articles. Media houses broadcast it as breaking news. So in a few hours, this achievement will be known to many people. And with that, dissatisfaction with the city's Lord is drastically reduced as the media houses were focusing on this issue.

Late evening,

I opened my eyes after a long sleep. The first thing that came to mind was the reward amount. I sat up cross-legged on the bed and immediately accessed my bank account through my sci-fi watch.

My eyes twinkled with delight as I saw credit points worth more than a billion dollars.My breathing became a lot quicker.

Should I move out to Tier-7 City with my family? I believe with this money we can buy a decent house on the outskirts. Tier-8 cities encounter more frequent monster outbreaks compared to Tier-7 cities.

So Tier-7 City will be a much safer place. I decided to tell Uncle about it after getting back home. Then I glanced at the timing. It's 6:30 in the evening.

There are still three hours left before the train's departure. Seeing that, I got up from my bed and went to get freshened.

A few minutes later, I decided to head to the hotel lobby to get some fresh air. When I walked towards the lift, I saw there were two more people in front of me. One male and one female.

From their appearance, I can guess that they were a couple. Without minding them, I approached the lift.

"Creak," the door opens.

I stepped inside the lift, following the couple. They didn't mind me as they were busy conversing with each other.

"Gosh, I can't believe the adventurer team won 1 billion credit points," the man said with a sigh.

Hearing that, I got goosebumps all over my body. What happened? I'm shocked to the core. 1 billion? Adventurer team? What are they talking about?

I perked up my ears to listen to their conversations.

Hearing her husband sighing, the woman replied, "Humph, the city lord mansion won't reveal false news. So this information can't be fake. "

City Lord Mansion? A slight glint flashes in my eyes. It's easy to see what they did. I accessed the online site through my sci-fi. My eyes caught up with the trending topic. I searched for news about Iron Post City.

Soon I came across the breaking news. "F*ck," I blurted out, foul words all of a sudden.

"Young man, watch your mouth," the man beside me said with a displeased tone.

Hearing that, I apologized. It can't be helped that this news is really too much.

A cruel glint flashes in my eyes as I read the news. That sly old fox disclosed the news without mentioning my name. I told them clearly that I didn't want to be interrogated.

But that manager came up with such a method. That guy wanted to find the truth of the matter. Since he can't force me because of their rules, He disclosed the information now.

The media houses won't stay silent anymore. Whether the information is true or not, they will surely get to the bottom of this.

"Creak," the door opens.

The couple walked out. Before leaving, the woman looked at me with contempt. "These people," I muttered. It can't be helped because of my situation as such.

Next, I decided to head back to my hotel room. My mood suffered blows after blows. Various thoughts come to mind.

The lift door closed. Seeing that, I leaned back against the wall. "There are already so many people out there looking for my whereabouts and this sudden news is not helping at all," I mumbled under my breath.

I recalled the Crimson Hall's meaning. My expression hardened after that. "Fortunately, I'm going to leave this city in a few hours," I grumbled.

City Lord's Mansion,

On the other hand, Manager Lawrence was pleased with the media response. Now everyone is demanding further details from the City Lord Mansion. He is wondering whether to release further news or not.

After pondering for a moment, he made up his mind to release another piece of news tomorrow. He can't wait to see the response of people if they knew the announced reward belongs to a single person.

"Ha... Ha... Ha..." Lawrence laughed out loud.

Not only common folks, even people working in the City Lord Mansion couldn't believe the news. Only Ms. Melinda and the female staff appeared to be normal.

Ms. Melinda realised that it was done by the manager. She has a vague feeling that sooner or later the manager will face

While the news swept away the city on one hand, It also reached the warriors outside the city wall at their camping site.

A few hours ago,

Mateo Roth is currently taking rest in his tent. A few hours ago, he received word from his father that Elder Roth was coming here to take him back. At first he didn't believe the news, but it was later confirmed by his father.

So he decided to take a walk around here before the elder arrives.

Suddenly, Carla walked inside the tent with a grave expression.
