Chapter 369 Reached Home

Camping site: Iron Post City,

Mateo slowly opened his eyes after hearing the footsteps. But in the next second, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after seeing the glum expression of Carla Gill.

He asked, "What happened?"

Carla paused her movements and told him about the recent news released from the City Lord Mansion.

Mateo Roth stunned for a moment. "How could this be possible?" The next second, he got up from his seat in surprise. He looked into Carla's eyes, wanting to know whether it was a bluff.

But seeing her expression, Mateo's expression darkened. "Which team is it?" He inquired. "City Lord Mansion didn't disclose the news," she said.

Mateo furrowed his eyebrows. He is 100% sure that 1 billion credit points were earned by an outside team. He obviously underestimated the new wave of warriors. In a short time, a new team was able to achieve this feat.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. And when it comes to the other four strong teams, Mateo already knew about their leader's strength. And he heard that they were still inside the insect forest. So there is no doubt this was the work of an outside team.

SIGH

Mateo Roth let out a deep sigh after pondering. He is fortunate that this is not a situation under his watch. Now his family is calling him back, so he doesn't need to think about the iron post city and insect forest anymore.

Then he turned towards Carla and said, "Just leave it; we don't need to worry about it anymore."

Hearing that, Carla nodded and understood the meaning behind his words. She knows a little bit about Mateo Roth's mission here.

Seeing that he was not worried anymore, Carla guessed that his mission may have ended. After nodding at him, she left the tent.

Mateo then sat back in his seat. His mind is occupied with thoughts about this new team. The Peak Traniee Warrior, he believes, is the team's leader.

Peak Trainee Warrior is the only one who can achieve this feat. At the same time, a quick glint flashes in his eyes. He feels that he may come across this team at the Crimson Hall competition.

And he is looking forward to meeting these people. Mateo also thought of telling Elder Roth this news. He may find their real idenities. As this thought arose, a small smile rose on his face.

...

( From MC's Perspective)

I boarded the train to Red Stone City successfully. It will be a matter of minutes before the train leaves the platform for its destination.

Upon realising that, I leaned back comfortably in my window seat. I shut my eyes off in relaxation. At the same time, I heard the conversation of my co-passengers.

Not surprisingly, everyone is talking about the blockbuster news released by City Lord Mansion. I twitched hearing that.

If I continue to listen to the same conversation, it will hurt my ears. So without minding them, I fell asleep.

I don't know how long it has been. I opened my eyes after hearing the alarm bell. This indicates that the train is getting closer to its destination. It's been several hours since our departure.

I realised that. I straightened my back. I feel a lot more comfortable now after getting off of the city of iron post. There is no need to worry about carnivorous insect bugs anymore.

Soon, the train entered the premise of Red Stone City. I observed the city through the window. Should I visit Hansen Campus today? Or should I head home directly? I began to contemplate

Then I realised I had no mood to strike up a conversation with Elder Thornton now. So I think it's better to go home instead. I breathed in relief after making up my mind.

On the other hand, the train reaches the station. And it's speed, gradually slowing down. And when it came to a complete halt, passengers began to exit one by one.

Seeing that, I picked up my luggage and followed the queue. After stepping down, I walked towards another platform instead of exiting the station.

From the next platform, I can board the train to White Snow City. While walking, I sent messages to Uncle James and Mr. Jonathan.

Uncle James knows about my departure from Iron Post City. But I don't know what's happening with Mr. Jonathan. I thought it would take a day or two to solve bandit boss Soren's puzzle.

However, it appears that the situation is not as straightforward as it appears. Fortunately, I left that horrible place in time. Then, retracting my thoughts, I increased my pace to reach the next platform.

I sat down in a seat in the waiting area, quietly waiting for the train. From the timings, I knew it would take another half an hour for the train to arrive. Having no choice, I shut off my eyes to rest.

20 minutes later,

A metric bell rang from my sci-fi watch.

Hearing that, I wrinkled my eyebrows in displeasure. I slowly opened my eyes to view the notification.

[Arthur]

My eyes gleamed with surprise at seeing the name. But I didn't pick up the call right away. Rather, I sent him a message saying that I would call him a few hours later.

No way. If I take the call right now, it will go on forever. In particular, I'm not in the mood to talk about my adventures in the insect forest. For that, it will take a long time.

Then I boarded the train to White Snow City ten minutes later. Suddenly, I felt like I was at home.

My appearance is a little bit different compared to a month ago. I became a lot thinner. Because of the lack of food inside the insect forest, even if someone knows my identity before, they won't recognise me this time.

With that confidence, I sat in my seat. Some time ago, I also followed the articles from media houses here. Surprisingly, they mentioned my name after my City Lord Mansion new notice.

The media houses want to know which strong warriors are going to participate in the mission. A few of the reporters stayed outside of Hansen's campus to get some answers.

They appear to be waiting for someone. In particular, they want to catch a glimpse of me. After reading the news, I laughed hard that time. But I don't know the current situation of the Hansen campus. Whether any reporters continued to wait outside of the campus is unknown.

Then a sudden realisation hit me. I think Mr. Arthur's call might not be a coincidence.

A quick glint flashes in my eyes. I better hope there is no dog sh!t drama going on there.

Time Progresses,

The train halts at the platform of the white snow city two hours later. When I walked out of the station a few minutes later, my eyes were wide with surprise.

I mutter, "Military grade air car."

Seeing that Uncle took a military grade vehicle to pick me up, I don't know what to say. When I was lost in my thoughts, I heard roaring laughter.

"Ha... Ha... Ha... Zack, I'm extremely pleased with you. "You didn't deceive my eyes back then," Uncle James said with a laugh.

He tapped my shoulder with his big hand.

On the other hand, Mr. James takes a deep look at Zack. When he just tapped now, he felt strong power, slightly inferior to his. "Now way," he thought to himself.

He really wanted to ask a question straight away. But looking at the surroundings, he knew this was not the right place to talk.

Both of them hoped inside the car. Mr. James drove the car towards his home.

On the way, my eyes were all over the military-grade air car. This car is far more efficient than normal cars. Furthermore, this car has been sufficiently modified to withstand the brunt of average class 1 monsters.

These were the things I heard from Uncle James before. But looking at things directly is different from hearing them.

On the other hand, Mr. James observed the reaction of Zack. He said, with a small cough, "Don't overthink it; it's not for my personal use."

Hearing that, I raised my eyebrows in confusion. Seeing my confusion, Uncle James begins to explain to me. After hearing everything, I understood.

He just came back from a mission. After seeing my message, he borrowed this vehicle to pick me up. A small smile rose on my face. The military is really generous to provide this vehicle to a small outer post office.

A few minutes later, we arrived at our home. Uncle James slowly landed the vehicle in front of our house. Then both of us slowly stepped out of the car.

My eyes immediately caught a glimpse of Granny Park in the garden. Seeing that, I ran towards her. Hearing my footsteps, Granny walked towards me.

A huge smile blossomed on her old, wrinkled face. After approaching her, I hugged her in happiness. She looked completely fine. It looks like her illness has faded away.

Though I still ask, "Granny, how have you been doing?"

Hearing that, she said, "I'm fine, Zack. But what happened to you? "You got thinner, boy."

Next, she began to observe me with worry. Seeing that I'm completely fine, she sighed in relief.

"What happened? Is there no class monster in the monster zone? " She inquired.

Hearing that, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
