Ancient Tears BloodLine

I was waiting near the TTC building. Some time later, both Uncle James and Mr. Arthur Emerson arrived at the spot.

I walked towards them. "Zack, what happened? Could you explain me from the start?" Mr. Arthur Emerson told me. While Uncle James also patted on my shoulder. It's his way of assuring me.

I took a deep breath and explained the whole situation from the start. After listening to my explanation. Mr. Arthur Emerson and Uncle James looked at each other.

I don't know whether they knew something. So, I decided to ask, "Uncle James, Do you guys know anything?"

Uncle James looked at me and said, "I'm not sure. What's going on? From the news, it's reported as Robbery.

Yet, from your statement thing are not simple as it seems." Mr. Arthur Emerson interjected by saying, "Let's go and ask the authorities."

Then the three of us entered the building. Mr. Arthur Emerson took the lead and asked the receptionist. "Ms. Could you contact the Main Authority? This is my detail."

Mr. Arthur Emerson would be the next person after me to worry about Max Stewart.

Mr. Arthur Emerson is from the Administrative department. If Max is not found, soon his family will ask questions about him.

Even though, it will not be serious. Since there is evidence available to see from the footage.

As we were waiting in the reception area.

Soon, a person came. His hair is brown. The good-looking face but now it seems tense. He is wearing a black tuxedo. "Mr. Daniel Wildes" uttered Mr. Arthur Emerson.

Mr. Arthur Emerson walked towards him. Looks like they both knew each other. Then Mr. Arthur Emerson talked a few things with him.

Then he introduced us. Mr. Daniel Wildes, already he is tense about something. Now, it even got more.

Mr. Daniel Wildes walked towards the receptionist. He asked her to replay the video.

Then, we watched the footage again. "Mr. Daniel, Do you have anything to say?" Mr. Arthur Emerson commented. Mr. Daniel massaged his temple. He is really confused.

In that, footage we saw someone talking to Max Stewart. Then two of them disappeared suddenly.

From, the administration. We found out the person is an unidentified one. "I will inform my team, He might be another robber," Mr. Daniel Wilde said with a serious tone.

Hearing that Mr. Arthur Emerson nodded. There is a sullen atmosphere that starts to spread among us. Nobody is willing to talk about anything.

After hearing, Mr. Daniel Wilde's call. Soon, the brute-man team leader came. "Mike, See this footage first" Mr. Daniel gestures to him to see the video.

Meanwhile, Mr. Arthur Emerson informed the situation to Max Stewart's family.

While Mr. Daniel and Team leader Mike discussed things. Uncle James talked to Mr. Arthur Emerson separately.

I'm too-tagged along with them. "Arthur, do you think he is a robber?" Hearing Uncle's question Mr. Arthur Emerson furrowed his eyebrows.

I can see no one believed such an assumption. If he is a robber, why does he have to approach fatty?

"I don't know James, Let's see what they can answer. It's their responsibility." Mr. Arthur Emerson replied.

Mr. Arthur Emerson then looked at me and said, "You can go home now, we will handle it from here." Uncle James also interjected, "Yes, Zack it's getting late. Ms. Park also waiting for you at home."

Hearing that, I sighed and nodded at them. Now, I need good rest. The matter is something which I can't handle. It can only be solved by elders.

I booked an air cab to the Red Stone City Station. After waiting for a while. The Air cab arrived. Then I went towards my home.

After Zack left. Mr. Arthur Emerson and Mr. James Lockwood continued their discussion.

Meanwhile, sometimes later Zack boarded the train.

I'm currently reading news from the alliance network. The robbery news spread like wildfire. All leading publications published the news. Some even come up with conspiracy theories.

Even someone went up to say it's an inside job. I don't know what to say. Not even an entire day has passed. But, news sites already speculating so much.

It's because still, Thomas trade Centre didn't say anything yet. It's confusing by the way. I thought they would do something in order to clear their name.

There might be the possibility that Max got kidnapped by their family rivals.

Such thoughts ran through my mind. I closed my eyes at the thought of that. Some hours later, I reached my home. "Zack, are you all right?" I heard a familiar voice in my ears.

I found Granny Park in the hallway. I didn't go to the room. But, taking time to explain to her. Today is really depressing.

"Don't worry Zack. They will handle it hereafter. Go and take rest you got class tomorrow" Granny Park said with a comfortable smile.

I entered my room and lie down on my couch. A wave of comfort washed over me. I didn't spend too much time lazily.

I went to shower and had a long cold bath. After some time, I wore my casual cloth. Then I prepared for some energy practice.

I remembered there is a ring on my finger. It's an auction item that, I got from the transaction location. I didn't want to use it yet.

Till there is news about Max Stewart.

I took out my normal meditation mat and placed it on the ground. And I started to practice lightning elemental energy.

I removed these stressful thoughts from my mind and focussed on practice. As I started to practice, lightning rune in my consciousness started to flicker.

And small lightning particles naked to human eyes started to gather inside me. It took some time to fill half of my dantian. I miss practicing at Mountain Liz.

I need to divide some time to visit there. Some hours later, I finished practicing. I got up from the meditation mat and stored it inside my storage ring. Then later, I went to sleep.

Meanwhile, there is even more serious discussion going on on the top floor of the TTC building.

Ron Stewart. He is Max Stewart's Father. Currently grilling the TTC members.
