Chapter 590 Part 1: Ernest's duel

From MC's perspective:

The following day,

After completing the morning routine. I didn't want to cultivate. Rather, I decided to go to the mountain peak today.

Since I have accepted their request. Then I'll have to get ready. I think it would take a day or two to retrieve the item from Glass City.

After figuring it out, I decided to let Ernest know later.

An hour later,

After getting ready, I decided to go out. So I walked to the front door. But suddenly, I paused my footsteps.

There seems to be someone standing behind the door. A quick glint flashes in my eyes. The next second, I activated my perceptual ability.

Then I recognised the familiar figure behind the door. "Jonathan," I said in my heart.

A faint smile appeared on my face.

Creak~

Then I opened the door to greet him.

"You are alert!" Jonathan said while walking into the room.

Then I closed the door before sitting down opposite him.

"How are you, young master?" Jonathan asked. While saying that he sat on the chair.

"Sigh"

A long sigh escaped from my mouth. Then I started to tell him about the recent events.

10 minutes later,

A dangerous glint flashes in Jonathan's eyes. He didn't expect that old man to approach Zack. Which is not a good thing.

Comparing it to the information from Carlos. He can tell that the old man was seriously dying. And the forbidden potion is not a good thing.

It can only make consumers addicted. Perhaps, the old man might have fallen deep. It's impossible to rescue him.

"Pity," Jonathan muttered.

Then he looked at Zack and asked,"Young master, are you willing to come with me?"

"The academy is not safe anymore. The old man might change his mind to attack you again," He added.

Hearing that my heart was in turmoil. This was the worst situation. He can understand that it's stupid decision to bet his life on an old man's words.

You never know when that guy will attack me.

Seeing that Zack has trouble making decisions. Then he decided to reveal some truth. If the enemy's plan succeeded.

Forget about the academy. This entire region might be in trouble.

Then he started to shed light on this matter.

A few minutes later,

"Young master, what now?" Jonathan asked.

"I understand," I replied in a solemn tone. But deep inside I felt powerlessness. The slow progress of lightning cultivation frustrates me.

Jonathan was relieved in his heart. This time he really wants to take back Zack from this academy.

It's not safe for Zack to continue to stay here. Unless the problem was solved.

"Alright, young master. Then we will wait for them to bring items from the Glass City. When your duel was over. I'll take you back to your home town," Jonathan said before standing up from the seat.

"What about the year end competition?" I asked.

Jonathan stopped and asked,"You are still worried about that. We don't know what will happen in the coming days. If the enemy succeeded in his plan, then there will be no year end competition."

I sighed inwardly. Then Jonathan left the room. I don't know where he is going? But he will be coming back at the right time.

After seeing him off, I returned to my room. I sat back on the chair before pondering deeply. From Jonathan's words, I can understand the seriousness of this issue.

He doesn't want me to stay here for a second. The Supreme Elder is above the SSS-Rank. He can easily suppress me. After weighing the pros and cons, I decided to give in.

I hope Jonathan defeats the person who is responsible for this mess. But one good thing though I can go back to see Uncle James and Granny park.

It's been several months since coming to the academy. But I feel like a decade has passed.

After sorting out my thoughts, I left the dorm.

Soon, I reached the dining hall where Ernest was waiting for me. This time there were no minions in front of the place.

I guess the Vice-dean must have shared the news to others. My eyes flickered. I don't know why he is so confident about Kane Patrick? Is he that strong?

Then I shook my head before walking further.

Ernest, who was speaking to other warriors right now, noticed Zack's presence.

"What a surprise?"

"I didn't see those guys today," Ernest said.

Hearing that my mouth curved into an arc. Looking at the people around us. I thought it's not a good place to talk.

Then we walked into the dining hall.

Meanwhile,

Jonathan has arrived secretly to the Supreme Elder's place. When he saw the old man last time. He was old and sick.

Aura of death can be seen on his body. But this time there were some changes.

Jonathan saw the breath of the decay was reduced. Which means the old man managed to increase his vitality.

His eyes were full of disgust. Jonathan was aware where the product came from. Looking at the old man who is sitting leisurely in the front garden.

Jonathan frowned. He can capture old men the right way. But it will alert the enemy. He still doesn't know.

How has the powerhouse from the inner post managed to come here? And he is still staying for a long time.

From the changes in the barrier. He can tell that person is spending a lot of time here. Even for his Master Lowell it's a difficult task.

When Jonathan is having troubling thoughts.

Beep~

The old man was woken up by a call.

"Who is disrupting my morning nap?" The old man opened his eyes in displeasure.

When he saw that the call was from the Giant Tower Headmaster. His mood becomes bad.

Ever since he got the potion from him. That person has been ordering him like a dog.

"What do you want, brat?" After attending the call, the old man asked with an impatient voice.

Which can clearly tell that he was not happy with that call.

On the other hand, Jonathan's thoughts returned to reality. He is keeping his eyes open to get some information. The next second, he takes out a gadget to record everything.

"Supreme elder, what about the thing I have asked you?" The Giant Tower Headmaster's voice sounded from the other end of the call.

The old man's expression turned gloomy.

"I have told you before. I can't touch that kid. But I have made some arrangements. As long as you can get that treasure item from the Glass City."

"I can make sure that brat Zack gets seriously injured in the duel," The old man replied.

"Harumph!"

"Glass City uh, do you want my academy to offend the Red Moon Tower for no reason," The Giant Tower Headmaster snorted from the other end of the call.

The old man doesn't care. "Is it not me who wants that kid dead?" The old man replied in a calm tone.

There was some silence for a moment.

"Harumph, old man you won this time. Next time, I want you to speed up our plan," After saying that the Giant Tower Headmaster ended the call.

The old man touched his forehead. Every time this person calls him, he feels sick. Then he closed his eyes to relax.

On the other hand, Jonathan has recorded everything. He was right that the old man is having ill intent against the young master.

But what surprises him is that he plans to do something during the duel. Now he understood why they are willing to go to the Glass City.

He didn't get to know the full conversation. But the old man's words conveyed a lot of information. Jonathan then left the place.

He decides to meet Carlos before coming back here.

Meanwhile,

Dining Hall:

Both of us are having fruitful conversations about internal competition. The competition for the elite warriors was over.

The internal competition for the Super Elite Warriors is taking place. I didn't watch the Elite matches.

But the Super Elite competition is different. Because Ernest is going to participate.

"Are you serious?" I asked.

Ernest nodded his head before saying,"Don't worry Zack, I won't take a risk."

"If the opponent is strong, then I'll admit defeat," He added.

Hearing that I sighed inwardly. I fear those guys from the flame faction will definitely do something.

"When is your match?" I asked.

"The duel is set at 11am this morning."

"What are you going to do?"

"Are you coming?" He asked.

I furrowed my eyebrows. I'm having a bad feeling about this duel.

"Ernest, why don't you skip your participation?''I asked.

Ernest paused his movements before looking at Zack. He saw through Zack's thoughts.

"Do you think others will trouble me?" Ernest asked.

"Sigh"

A sigh escaped from my mouth.

"I think that Seamus will do something," I replied honestly.

Ernest frowned. Then he let out a small chuckle.

"Zack, you are thinking too much. I'll be fine. My techniques have improved recently. I recently wanted to participate in a test to test my skills," Ernest said.

"So, don't worry," After saying that he continued eating.

Seeing that I decided to trust him.
