Chapter 391 Frazier's Decision

City Lord Mansion - Red Stone City,

The City Lord Alex Fuller was in his study room where he received a message from Manager Walter. Seeing that, he rose from the chair and walked towards the main hall.

He hopes for hearing some positive answers. When he arrived at the main hall, he saw apart from Manager Walter another person is standing beside him.

Looking at his burly physique and cultivation base, quick glint flashes into his eyes. The city lord Alex soon realized something. "He must be the head of the Frazier Clan," Alex thought to himself.

Because the other person's cultivation base was the same as himself. Only strong heads of cultivation families can have this level. Then he walked up to the main seat and sat in it.

Seeing that, Manager Walter and Frazier Clan's heads bowed to him in respect.

Then the city lord signalled the manager Walter to leave. He will take care of the next course of action. After receiving the order, the manager Walter exited the hall.

Seeing all of this a trace of apprehension appeared in Mr Frazier's eyes. He couldn't understand the action of their new city lord. Why did he ask him to come here?

When he was confused, he heard the city lord's voice. "Mr Frazier, No need for formalities," After saying that he gestured to him to take a seat.

Mr Frazier didn't ask back any questions and sat in the nearby chair. He knows the city lord has something important to discuss. So he decided not to talk back unnecessarily.

Seeing his attitude, the city lord Alex was pleased. He felt his plan will go a lot smoother than he had expected earlier.

"Cough" he coughed to break the awkward atmosphere.

He felt it was best not to talk about the crimson hall. Who knows? If the information leaks out it will create another headache.

Then he looked at Mr Frazier with a bright smile on his face before asking, "Mr Frazer, I need your help with something."

Hearing that, Mr Frazier widened his eyes in surprise. The next second he composed himself but still, there are many questions appeared in his mind.

Then the city lord Alex began to explain his request. He will send 5 new warriors to Hansen's competition under the name of Frazier Clan.

At first, Mr Frazier's expression was normal. But his expression turned ugly as he started to listen more.

The city lord Alex wasn't surprised by Mr Frazier's expression. Rather he felt it was normal. But what he doesn't know is that Mr Frazier has different thoughts in his mind.

"When did Hansen campus have offended the new city lord?" He thought to himself.

As far as he knows there is no interaction at all. If it was another issue, he won't mind helping. But the things with Hansen campus were different. His daughter Maria studies and practises there.

So Mr Frazier was hesitant in his heart about whether he should agree with the city lord's request. He knows sending strong warriors to participate in a small competition. It's nothing but the act of humiliating Hansen's institute on purpose.

On the other hand, the city lord noticed Mr Frazier is dwelling on his words. He asked, "Mr Frazier, is there any problem?"

Hearing that, Mr Frazier nodded but he decided to mention a different reason.

"Lord, I have few connections in Hansen Institute. Some of the elders know about my family very well," After saying that he added further.

So If they saw the sudden appearance of new warriors under the Frazier clan's name, it will raise their eyebrows. Eventually, if one starts to investigate, then it will be easy to know, that 5 of them were not part of the Frazier Clan.

Hearing his concerns, the city lord Alex realized there were genuine concerns, not some random excuse. For a moment, he thought about considering other families.

But he neglected those thoughts the next second.

He replied, "Mr Frazier, you have to do only one thing to do that is to keep the secret until the competition."

"Then if someone finds the identity of the 5 warriors after the end of the competition. Your clan won't be held accountable," the city lord Alex added further.

Hearing that, Mr Frazier breathed in relief.

If it was the case then their clan can be saved from trouble. But in his heart, he won't want to take action against Hansen Campus.

Unfortunately, he can't deny the request from the city lord. He may seem to be all smiles on his face. But he knows that if he offends the city lord now. It will cause a lot of damage to their clan economically.

After sighing inwardly, Mr Frazier decided to agree with the city lord's proposal. Then he nodded at the lord and replied, "Lord, I agree to help you. But I'm not sure about helping you with their protection."

Then a few minutes later, both reached some common ground in the discussion. After talking about a few things, Mr Frazier immediately left the building.

The city lord Alex was glad to convince the other party. It took some effort but he was fine with it. Because the headmaster wells from the crimson Hall pressuring him from one side.

This confirmation news will give him some time to breathe. The next second he immediately texted the headmaster wells.

After doing that, he walked back to his room.

On the other hand, After leaving the city lord mansion. Mr Frazier didn't stop anywhere. He heads straight towards his clan home.

Several few minutes later,

Mr Frazier reached his home. On the way, several clansmen bowed toward him in respect. After acknowledging them, he went straight toward his study room.

He needed some alone time right now. After getting inside the study room, Mr Frazier finally lost his composure.

"Damn it, what's up with the new city lord?" He said to himself. He knows offending the new city lord is more dangerous than offending the old ones.

Because this new city lord will continue to serve until he gets transferred to some other places. In meantime, he doesn't want his clan to be harassed by the City lord Mansion people.

Then walked up to his chair and sat in it. He began to recall their conversation one by one. Earlier, he noticed the city lord forget to tell him something.

Rather, it's best to say he purposely avoided something. Especially, the city lord didn't tell him the background of the warriors. But Mr Frazier has a strong feeling that it has something to do with Hansen Campus.

Why would he target Hansen Institute? There is no possibility of enmity between them. The City lord was appointed recently. So there must be someone behind the city lord who wants to target Hansen Institute.

After realising this he was shocked to the core. His clan can't handle the new city lord. Forget about the existence behind him. So Mr Frazier decides not to tell Elder Thornton after understanding the seriousness of this matter.

When it comes to Hansen's competition, he felt helpless. He can only hope nothing bad happens to their young warriors. He let out a deep sigh before focussing his mind on other issues.

...

(From MC's perspective)

Train Station - Red Stone City,

The train to Baguva city arrived after one hour.

Seeing that, Elder Thornton and I boarded the train. I remembered the last time we went to star tower together. But this time it was for a different situation.

We sat back comfortably after finding our seats. From Elder Thornton, I heard it will probably take a week to reach baguva city. One week is indeed a long train journey.

This is the first time I'm going to experience such a long trip. So I decided to sleep for a few hours. I closed my eyes and then slowly fell into a deep sleep.

On the other hand, Elder Thornton smiled when he saw Zack's actions. He then shifted his attention towards his sci-fi watch. A while ago, he received many notifications. But he didn't think about taking a look at it.

He noticed there are many messages inbox. Most of them were sent by other elders of the Hansen Institue. He knows all of them were quite pissed.

Because he made a unanimous decision. He didn't even ask any second opinion regarding the small competition. So it's quite normal for them to react in this way.

He didn't want to send them a reply now. When he returns from baguva city, he will think of a solution.

Then he continued to go through the other messages one by one. Suddenly, his eyes fixated on one person's name. It was a message from his friend Ricardo Cartell.

His friend inquired about their whereabouts. But he had already made a phone call a while ago. So he didn't reply to this message again.

Then he began to scroll down and finally, he saw an interesting name. "Alex Fuller," He mumbled under his breath.

This message was sent a week ago. But he neglected back them. In curiosity, he opened the message to read it. After reading it, he wasn't surprised. Because the new city lord wanted to meet him.

And he didn't give a proper response at that time.
