Chapter 263 Normalcy Returns
A few hours later, the Elite team sent by Parazam Hunter League reaches the Westword City's border. They immediately begin to calm down the chaos and take control of his border. Simultaneously, the Elite Warriors who came from outside to help Star Tower, went back to their place after the end of the competition.
Parazam Hunter League's timely help provides a breath of relief to City Guard's Elite Warriors and Star Tower Elders. Apart from borders, most of the Star Tower Elders were stationed in strategically important positions. That's why the Hall Master of Star Tower's hand tightened by this situation.
As the border situation begins to calm down, the City Guard forces move back to the central city one by one. On the way, they have arrested several warriors who caused turmoil. In a few hours, the chaos cloud which surrounds the city begins to recede.
The War reporters continuously broadcast the situation. And eventually at night the city 's normalcy begins to turn around. But still the City Lord Garry didn't lift the emergency lockdown. There are still some perpetrators hiding in the city. So, weed them out. The City Lord gave orders to patrol guards to go out for all out search.
At City Lord's residence,
The City Lord's face is unsightly. Right now he is reading multiple reports of the class. Fortunately, there are not many civilian casualties. Due to lockdown and border turmoil the majority of the people moved away to safe haven.
But instead the City suffered a huge economic loss. Any fight between Elite Warriors leads to changes in terrain. Power erupted from them and caused massive destruction. Everyone has a clear idea who is responsible for such an atrocity.
It's clear that forces behind the warriors, those who had participated in the Star Tower Competition, are clearly responsible for the current situation. Since he had the name list of those forces it is quite easy to investigate now. Except those who stayed behind till now, the real culprits were those who crossed the border.
Once his team finds the slightest evidence then he will bleed out their treasury. Only in this way can he compensate for the City's losses. Thankfully, the Hall Master asked for help from the Parazam Hunter league. Otherwise, the city' start will reduce to become less than Tier-8 City.
He sighed thinking that. He even forgets about that Hall Master 's promise to him. He doesn't know whether he can keep his position or not. Rubbing his temple he mumbled, "Lot's of work needs to be done."
At the Star Tower's Meeting Hall,
"whizzzzz"
Several Elders came one by one for this meeting. Unlike last time, most of them came in person. After everyone assembled, the Hall Master conveyed the meeting by saying, "It's been decades since someone caused such a headache so far. But still we manage to successfully conducted the competition"
When he finished saying their words, anger could be seen on the Elders faces. This time one of their own died on the southern border. Because of this reason most of them came in person to discuss revenge plans. Unlike the majority of forces here, Star Tower is not a regional force. It is a behemoth like Parazam Hunter League and the Army Federation.
That's why they feel this small stunt caused damage to their reputation. At this time, Elder Ross who contributed greatly by killing Elite Warrior's from hostile forces opened his mouth. "Hall Master, This is high time for us to mobilize our forces outside the border. It is a good time to teach them a hard lesson. In this way, no one can think about causing any harm to our Star Tower in future."
Everyone nodded and echoed the same opinion. People normally won't refute Elder Ross's words. And especially this time no one dared to say a thing. The Hall Master answered, "I already got permission from above. Once the City turns back to normal. We will move our forces. And especially apart from those forces who had helped us. Rest of them need to pay a price, Including those neutral forces."
Hearing that everyone can't wait to move out of the city and flexing their muscles. The Hall Master is quite clear, he has seen reports about Elite Warriors seen in the city. But they chose not to help and stay behind the sidelines. He feels because of them the hostile forces gained upper hand. So he won't leave them just like that.
Like the City Lord, he has the same idea in his mind. Using a name list to find out those forces and teach them a lesson.

(From MC Perspective)
At the Star Tower Guest House,
"Elder, Finally we can go back home." I said to Elder Thornton who just came inside.
Elder Thornton sighed while lying down on the sofa. "I haven't experienced such a dangerous situation. Ever since I retired from the Army Federation. These Forces really dared to pull the tiger's tail. They were going to suffer in the end." He said in a solemn tone.
Hearing that my curiosity is piqued. I asked, "Elder, What do you think? What are they going to do ?"
Looking at Zack, Elder Thornton said, " There is a possibility of some forces wiping out completely."
Hearing that I gulped down my saliva. "Is Star Tower that powerful?"
Elder Thornton nodded and commented, "It's a powerful faction comparable to our Army Federation. That's why I agreed to help them without any hesitation."
Suddenly he thought about something, He added by saying, "There is also good news for us. If the Crimson Hall forces really came from the northern border. Then they obviously are going to suffer. It's impossible to hide away from the crimes. Once the Star Tower finds out then the Crimson Hall hegemony will be over."
I nodded hearing that what I'm more happy about is that there are not many civilian casualties. And Elder Thornton too came back safely.
"Elder, When can we move out? I already talked to Mr. Jonathan. He is waiting for us at Barron Fort City." I said.
Elder Thornton was surprised to hear that. He asked, "When did he reach Barron Fort? I though he supposed to be wait for us at the border "
"I too asked that but Mr. Jonathan replied that the border is under surveillance of Parazam Forces. So he feels it's not safe to move around." I said.
Elder Thornton understood the situation and answered, "Then we can leave for home tomorrow comfortably."
