Chapter 327 Bandit Boss Soren
At the City of Iron Post,
EastWood Company,
Remington Talley is deeply worried that his friend Mervin will seek revenge despite the losses he has suffered so far. In his opinion, it's not worth it.
He believes that City Lord must have received the news about the Black Fist team's despicable action. But still, the news about them is totally suppressed.
He had a solemn expression on his face. Shaking his head, he thought about convincing Mervin once more.
Then he looked at the old man, Tucker, and replied, "Well, I understand the deeper meaning behind your words. So I will leave right now. And thank you for your time. "
Nelson sighed in his heart. He thought the company had lost a deal. He couldn't help questioning his grandfather after this.
Old Man Tucker was pleased by his words. He appreciated Remington in his heart. Remington knows when to advance and when to retreat. In response, he simply nodded his head.
Remington stood from his seat and walked out of the room.
Once he left the room, Lewis Nelson said in a displeased tone, "Grandpa, "What is happening?"
Old Man Tucker sighed in relief. He looked at his grandson and answered, "Nelson, Not all the information can be sold. For some information we weren't allowed to talk about them, let alone sell intelligence to someone."
What exactly is this?Nelson was surprised by his Grandpa's words. He actually knows the reason behind the Black Fist Team's despicable team. Because the leader of the black first team becomes the servant of the first team.
But his grandpa's attitude tells him that things are not as simple as they look. Perhaps he is unaware of the bigger picture.Thinking about it his expression condensed.
Old man Tucker notices his grandson's expression. He advised him by saying, "Nelson, it would be better if you dropped out of your team."
"Grandpa!" Nelson exclaimed in disbelief.
Shaking his head, old man Tucker said, "Things were beyond the City Lord's control. You understand my words right. "
"Gasp!" Nelson was dumbfounded. "What do you mean by beyond the City Lord's control?" Nelson cried in his heart.
Actually, he understands the words, but he refuses to believe them.
If the City Lord is helpless, then this city will soon plunge into turmoil. For a moment, he fell into deep contemplation.
He finally realised that maybe his grandfather was right about this issue.
Before it's too late, he decided to let his team withdraw from the bandit hunting mission as soon as possible. He immediately got up from his seat to leave.
Old man Tucker easily sees through his worries. He advised, "Nelson, don't reveal the information to your team."
Nelson halted his footsteps and nodded his head at Grandpa before leaving the room.
Seeing the disappearing back of his grandson, Old Man Tucker mumbled, "Maybe I should send him somewhere." Then I'll call him back once things have settled down here. "
A quick glint flashes in his eyes while he is determined to send his grandson out of the city.

(From MC's POV)
I lay on my bed inside after getting back to my room. It's unfortunate that things were not going my way. What to do? Should I go out to collect information?
Actually, I'm under a lot of confusion.
After knowing that a team called Black Fist killed Iron Hammer members, I don't know what I'm getting myself into.
Maybe I should consult Uncle James about this.
The intelligence department in his office might know something about Iron Post City. Just as I decided to call him, my communication watch lit up with a notification.
I sat cross legged and looked at the watch. It's a call from Mr. Jonathan. My eyes lit up with surprise. And I immediately attended the call.
"Zack, how have you been?" Mr. Jonathan's cheerful voice rang in my ears.
I sighed and began to answer, "Mr. Jonathan, I'm fine. What about you? "
"My life here is pretty good," He said.
Hearing that, I immediately thought about my teacher's location. Soon I will go there.
Next, I thought about my current circumstances and lack of strength.
I asked, "Mr. Jonathan, I received your message about some surprise. I urgently need to raise my strength. "
Upon hearing that, Mr. Jonathan wasn't surprised. because I already knew what's happening out there in Iron Post City. But he didn't let Zack know about it.
Taking note of the lightning ore, he decided to reveal the good news to him. "Zack, actually I'm coming there to give you the gift." "Mr. Jonathan," he said in a calm tone.
Because, as per his master's order. He needs to act as Zack's guardian.
Hearing Mr. Jonathan's words, I felt a huge burden lifted off my shoulder. I don't know what the gift is. But I feel like it must be something special. Mr. Jonathan is giving me the gift by keeping in mind the Crimson Hall Event.
If I can increase my essence cutliavtion to Mid-Level Special Trainee, then I'm quite confident about this bandit hunting mission.
I can easily fight against the Initial-Trainee Warrior. And when it comes to Mid-Level Trainee Warrior, I'm confident I can escape from them.
As long as I don't come across as a Peak-Level Trainee Warrior, everything would be fine.
On the other hand, Mr. Jonathan thought about the bandit hunting mission. He remembered that the Master didn't want Zack to go on a mission before he got to that place.
He hurriedly answered, "Zack, I forgot to tell you something."
I retracted my thoughts and asked, "What is it?, Mr. Jonathan"
He has asked me to tell you one thing. He wants you to consume the gift (treasure) before signing up for the bandit hunting mission. Mr. Jonathan said.
What exactly is this? So the master knew about my circumstances. No wonder he allowed Mr. Jonathan to send that gift to me. Even Master thinks that it's difficult to survive with my current strength.
I"m not in a hurry; I can wait for a few more days. Until Mr. Jonathan comes to visit me.
I answered, "Okay, Mr. Jonathan." I will wait for you.
Then we talked about a few more things before we ended our conversation.
After ending the call, I leisurely lay in my bed. All my worries were swept away completely. But I still need to beware of the top teams. They were not easy.
Then I decided to cultivate after taking some rest.

Inner Post,
Inside the Study Hall-McClain's Castle,
Sir. Lowell McClain didn't forget about Zack's circumstances. After his previous conversation with Jonathan, he asked a few of his contacts about Iron Post City.
He looked at a wide projection while sitting behind his desk. He is currently reading a report sent by his contacts about Iron Post City.
As he continues to read, he finds various new information about the iron post city.
"Fugitive!" Sir Lowell McClain muttered after learning about the identity of the bandit boss.
His assumption came true; earlier he felt something amiss about the sudden appearance of the bandit boss. now that he knows the bandit boss is the most wanted fugitive.
The fugitive is Soren Ewart, a Metal Elemental-Initial Elite Warrior. Sir Lowell McClain continues to read the report. The fugitive is a former Captain of the City Guard in Tier-7 City.
Soren Ewart was involved in a lot of corruption. At the time, he had the strength of a peak trainee warrior. Due to the resources he earned from corruption, he was successfully able to get a breakthrough to reach the elite.
When he got caught, he immediately slipped away from the hands of the City Lord. He immediately fled towards the Tier-8 region.
Despite the fact that he successfully avoided capture, during the fight with the City Lord, Soren suffered severe injuries.
Later, he somehow infiltrated this Tier-8 city. To recuperate from injuries, he had chosen this insect forest as a base. He continues to collect resources to treat his injury through looting and killing.
Soon, he was able to form personal bandit forces. When the City Lord of Iron Post City came to eliminate him, Soren successfully thwarted the City Lord's attempt to kill him; instead he caused injury to the City Lord.
Later, the City Lord gave up dealing with him directly and instead commissioned a new mission called the Bandit Hunting Mission.
After knowing every detail, Sir Lowell McClain raised his eyebrows in frustration. Everything is crystal clear, but he doesn't know why the City Lord of Tier-7 City hasn't taken any actions so far.
It's easy to take him down if the City Lord of Tier-7 city files a complaint about him. He doesn't know why these people were letting it go. Sir. Lowell McClain feels it's a good decision to send Jonathan to act as a guardian for Zack.
Sir. Lowell McClain feels something is amiss about the City Lord of Tier-7 City. He feels that the City Lord is intentionally silent about it.
Then the image of Zack flashes before his eyes.
Jonathan can easily take down Soren and the City Lord of Iron Post City. So he is not worried about Zack's safety now.
