Chapter 279 Luke Lambert
(From MC's perspective)
The atmosphere inside the room becomes heavy. Elder John's words made me ponder so heavily. A meteor country is a special place. So I should be careful from here on.
After letting out a deep sigh, I said,"I understand, Elder John. I will act cautiously in future."
John Meyers's expression eases down finally. As long as Vincent understands the reality of our world, the probability of surviving will be longer.
Then he shifted his attention back to the competition. "Alright, Vincent. I think you should prepare for the final duel," he said.
Hearing that a quick glint flashed into my eyes. The image of Frank Lambert comes to mind. I don't know what crooked method he will use to harm me. So I feel it's better to inform Elder John.
On top of it, there is also a troublesome Quinn family. I don't know whether they will stay silent after getting warned by the chairman.
"Ahem, Elder John. I have something to tell you," I replied.
John Meyers's eyes lit up with surprise, he asked, "What?"
Then I slowly started to explain the events that had happened at the school.
At first, John Meyers looked calm. But as he continued to listen, he couldn't help but frown.
After some silence, he responded, "If they knew your background, they wouldn't act openly. But nothing can be said about people's hearts. Some might use others' hands to kill."
When he said those words, I nodded in understanding.
Then John Meyer added further, "Don't worry about anything. We will leave after the competition. So I'll watch over you and your family until then."
John Meyers decided to stay close to Vincent's house. In that way, he can solve many problems.
Beep!
Suddenly, he received an encrypted notification. Seeing that his expression turned solemn. He knew it from the higher-ups. He needs to respond quickly.
"Okay, I'm leaving then. I'll see you tomorrow," John Meyers said.
I looked at his communication watch before nodding. Then we both walked downstairs.
After speaking some words to my family, Elder John left immediately.
Father Brad turned towards me and asked, "Son, what happened?"
Shaking my head, I replied, "He gave me some tips for the final duel."
Hearing that Father Brad became excited. Then I walked back to my room. There is still something for me to check.
Creak
After closing the door, I sat on my sofa.
"System, show my status panel," Then I said to the system.

"Wow, the mysterious energy from the meteor rock has strengthened my magic power," I muttered to myself while looking at the status panel in front of me.
Some time ago, I hoped about reaching level 3 before joining the Academy. Now, I'm only a little distance away from it.
Seriously, my status panel is mind-boggling. If people were to learn about my power attributes they would be gobsmacked.
Finally, a sense of confidence rose in my heart. Even if Brent Dale is scary as rumor says. I'm not afraid of him.
Not only because of my improved status. But I believe the gravitational power has upgraded further. To confirm my assumption, I have to go to the wilderness.
My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. Lastly, the giant rock weighing 25000 kilograms was pulverized by my gravitational power.
I have consumed another meteor rock energy now. So it is normal for me to have a powerful upgrade.
Then a quick glint flashed in my eyes. "It's better to leave at night."
...
Lambert Family,
Inside the large mansion, Frank Lambert is anxiously waiting for his father to come back.
Beside him, the old butler of the family is standing in silence. Looking at the tired expression of the young master, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
He knew the young master Frank had caused unnecessary trouble for himself. Now that he is fearing that the other party will retaliate. He knitted his old eyebrows.
Tap Tap Tap
Suddenly, the sound of loud footsteps was heard inside the hall. Hearing that Frank Lambert's eyes lit up with light.
A middle-aged man walked into the hall. He looked similar to Frank. He has neat eyebrows. His eyes and hair were brown. He has a fair skin tone. He is 6ft tall in height.
He is Luke Lambert, a level-4 Spear wizard. Father of Frank Lambert. He is dressed in a normal suit.
When he saw his son, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Son, are you waiting for me?" Luke Lambert asked.
Hearing that Frank Lambert sighed and said, "Dad, you are finally here."
The old butler of the family revealed a complex expression on his face. He doesn't know what the head of the family would do.
Luke Lambert frowns. He can see that something is wrong with his son. He then walked up to the main seat and sat in it.
He is mentally tired after his business trip. But still, he wants to hear about his son's worries.
Then he calmly asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
This time he didn't look at his son. Rather he inquired the family butler.
The old butler then slowly explained about the young master's trouble.
On the other hand, Frank Lambert stood helplessly.
He is scared by Vincent's hidden strength. He thinks Vincent is fooling everyone all along. Pretending like a pig and eating like a tiger. One should learn that from Vincent Carey.
On the other hand, the head of the family was displeased further. He is angered by his son's foolishness. Going out of his way to deliberately offend someone. Is there anything more stupid than that?
Especially when the other party has a more formidable background than oneself.
Luke Lambert turned his attention towards his son and said, "Son, this time you have disappointed me."
"Father?" Frank called out in fear.
Luke Lambert shook his head in disappointment. "It's good that you didn't use family power to harm that kid. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to explain."
"Right now, we can brush it off by saying scruples between school students inside the campus."
Frank Lambert revealed a confused expression on his face. Before coming here, he decided to use family power to silence Vincent Carey.
But right now after hearing his father. He doesn't know what to say.
On the other hand, the old butler sighed in relief, "The family head is wise as always." Hereafter the young master has no other choice but to listen to the family head's words.
Luke Lambert then finally added, "You can forget about revenge and focus more on your future."
Hearing that Frank Lambert was greatly disappointed. He wasn't able to control his inner thoughts and asked, "Father, I want him dead."
"Young master?" The old butler decided to stop him.
At this moment, a thunderous voice rang in the house.
"Stinky brat, are you out of your mind?" Luke Lambert said in a deep voice.
"Revenge for what?" He added further.
Frank Lambert's face turned ugly. He doesn't know why his father is disagreeing with his wishes.
He did background verification on Vincent. Vincent just hails from a small healer's family. It's not even some background to talk about. If his family wishes, Vincent's family would disappear overnight.
"Answer me?" His father stared at his solemn face. Frank musters up his courage and replies with his thoughts straightforwardly.
"Father, If I don't do something now. Vincent Carey will retaliate later," Frank replied.
Luke Lambert remained silent for a moment. He furrowed his eyebrows. He understands the hatred of his son. Then he turned towards the old butler and asked about his opinion.
The old Butler glanced at his young master. He finally understands that his young master won't sleep peacefully unless that kid named Vincent Carey dies.
"Master, I think we should wait for a while," the old butler said politely.
"What do you mean?" Luke Lambert inquired.
A quick glint flashed in the old butler's eyes.
"I believe that Quinn's family won't stay silent," he added further.
On the other hand, Frank Lambert's eyes lit up with light. He knew Danny Quinn was severely injured. So probably his family won't spare Vincent Carey just like that. Right?
Frank Lambert sighed in relief.
Luke Lambert looked at the old butler in approval. Right now, there is no need for them to conclude everything in a hurry. They can sit back and watch in relaxation what other families would do.
