BXBX NOVEL Chapter 499 Meeting
From MC's perspective:
Sitting down, I started to browse the online posts. To my surprise, the Weapon Hall was getting hate. When I started to go through the details.
I realized most of the people found it bullying. And they think it was arranged by the Bloodline Hall.
Sigh~
A sigh escaped my mouth. I believe there will be some changes after the meeting. Then my thoughts shifted back to the Red Stone.
Should I tell Senior Gilbert when he comes back? I furrowed my eyebrows. I believe it's better to hide from him.
Even if he finds out later, it doesn't matter. For him it's just an antique piece. He might think I stole it from him. Thinking about it, my mouth curved into an arc.
I think it's better this way. If I tell him it would arouse his curiosity. Which is not good for me.
...
An hour ago,
An important secret meeting is taking place inside a tower. The majestic tower located in the isolated space is home to the dean of the Yellow River Academy.
Inside one of the floors, people who appear to be over 100 years old are seated in a circular manner for the meeting.
The main seat was occupied by an old man with wrinkled skin. Most of his head was bald leaving behind a few white hair strands on top. He is the current dean holding the seat firmly for so many decades.
Before the dean, men and women are seated quietly. They are none other than elders of the Sub-Taboo Hall. They are part of the council. It is a secret meeting happening between the Sub-Taboo Hall and the dean.
There is a reason for the quiet atmosphere. There are projections appearing on the table. Each elders can see the visuals shown in the projection.
Currently the visuals of the leaderboard rankings are being shown.
The dean himself looked at the scene with bright eyes. He might be old but his eyes showed a glowing glint.
"So he is the gravity brat?" He muttered to himself. But his voice was heard by others. The dean is the Supreme Wizard. Power contained in his voice alone shuddered them.
"Dean, that kid has been pushing himself hard these days. I think the Bloodline Hall shouldn't disturb him anymore," Among the seated elders, one of the elders with white beard said.
He was the same person who was contacted by Gilbert Reese. He knows Vincent Carey's activities through Gilbert Reese.
Hearing the elder's words, the rest of the elders' faces turned solemn. Because people are hesitating to bring up the topic. Nobody wants to accuse the Bloodline Hall.
Because they are the main pillars of the academy. But here they are amazed by the elder's boldness.
The dean's eyes flickered but he didn't directly make a comment. Rather he began to access the information.
Quicky the visuals changed. The dean is now accessing the intelligence information. Except for his screen, the rest of the projections are showing the Leader Board Rankings.
Nobody knows the extent of the dean's access. The Bloodline hall thinks that they can use the loophole that exists in the administration. But they themselves don't know that their moves are being monitored.
The dean would turn blind eye to some extent. But it doesn't mean that the Academy is being run by the Bloodline Hall.
Quickly, he began to go through the intelligence information. Especially the events that happened during his absence.
The white beard elder remained silent. He knows the Dean is verifying the information.
A few minutes later,
The dean sorts out the information in his mind. He basically understood why the Bloodline Hall was paranoid?
The Bloodline Hall's persecution against Vincent Carey disappointed him. He also saw the background information of Vincent Carey.
Many forces invited Vincent Carey to join their organization. But the kid had joined their academy. Which was already a great sign. But the Bloodline Hall's move is not only despicable but his hurting academy core values.
It's strictly forbidden to use academy powers for personal interest. Dean saw the background of the investigation team sent after to investigate the disappearance of a True Wizard in the foreign country.
They are clearly after that brat at that time. To think they had gone to such an extent. What has the Vice-dean been doing all this time? A slight coercion released from the body.
The coercion made everyone pale with fright.
Dean saw the aftermath so he quickly controlled his emotions.
Alas!
"I'm old," The dean said to himself.
Then looking at everyone he said,"Power of other Wizard Halls has been weakening over the decades. So the Bloodline Hall's dominance should be expected."
Hearing that the elders are ashamed. The dean was right. If they are strong, then why should juniors be worrying about the persecution?
Dean sighed inwardly. He was the one who had a better understanding of the Bloodline Hall. For the outside world, they think the dean was a higher extent.
But he knows the previous dean and other old monsters are in retreat. They don't appear unless there is a life and death faced by the academy.
Among the old monsters, there are also the bloodline wizards.
If he takes this chance to punish the Bloodline Hall, then the old monsters won't sit back and watch.
Meanwhile,
What he doesn't know is that his supposed secret meeting was not so secret. Even more deep in the academy. Where the old monsters from the different wizard halls are practicing in secret.
Higher the wizard level, higher the life span. They are not worried by the passing time. So they don't put academy affairs in their mind.
But the current situation is something different. The dean wouldn't have imagined that Vincent Carey's existence was already known by the old monsters(powerful and highest elders).
Especially the old monsters of the various Wizard Halls.
"He...he...he..."
"That little brat is back. Will he protect that gravity kid?" A black shadowy figure said with a chuckle.
Behind him there was another shadowy figure. But from the figure, it can be said that the person was female.
"Tck, the Bloodline Hall is corroding the Academy," When she said that she is looking toward the specific direction. The place was so dark.
But on the other side of the space. Several shadowy figures are standing together. Before them four people stood in a high position.
Unlike the shadowy figures standing below, the four of them clearly heard the comments made by the Taboo Hall's Wizards.
"Harumph, why are you looking here?"
"It's not your Taboo Hall's kid who is getting beaten up," The female shadowy figure retorted back in a cold tone.
The voice could only be heard by a powerhouse similar to her.
From the Taboo Hall's side, the two shadowy figures didn't even flinch.
The male shadowy figure replied in a calm tone,"If it was Taboo Hall's brat, then your Bloodline Hall's seedlings would have been cleansed by half."
He said it in a simple tone. The female shadow behind him also revealed a cold smile on her face.
"You dare!" The female powerhouse on the Bloodline Hall's side threatened back. Her words cause the space barriers to tremble.
The three powerhouse with her are also ready to make a move.
Seeing that the Taboo Hall's powerhouse sneered inside.
He said,"Let's go back, it's hard to cure these maniacs." Then both the shadowy figures disappeared from the spot.
There are many other Taboo Hall and Sub-Taboo's powerhouse in retreat. It's just that they are the ones who are awake right now.
On the Bloodline Hall's side, the female powerhouse notices the disappearance. She muttered,"Coward."
Hearing that another female powerhouse who was silent all the time. She stepped forward to comment,"Sister, maybe the little brats are crossing the limits this time."
"Our academy didn't have the gravity seedling appearing after the death of the gravity ancestor."
Hearing that the leading female shadowy figure's eyes turned cold. She asked back,"So?"
The female shadowy figure lowered her head down. Seeing that the leading shadowy figure eases her eyebrows down.
She answered,"I understand your concern. But think what will happen when the Bloodline Hall weakens."
Her sister raised her head and she pondered before replying,"We would be attacked by others."
Hearing that other 2 shadowy figures agreed with her opinion.
The leading female figure coldly said,"That's right, the Bloodline Hall would be attacked."
"I know that it's not the gravity kid's fault. But if he gets stronger in future, the Sub-Taboo Hall might gain another powerhouse."
"It would strongly affect some of the Wizard Hall's interests. It would especially affect us."
"Do you think that Taboo Hall's powerhouse and others would sit back and relax? Even if we stay silent, the other halls might act against the kid sooner or later?"
"It's just that our hall's brats took the initiative this time," She added further.
Hearing that three of them were enlightened. The female shadowy figure especially changed her opinion. She knows other Wizard Halls are not naive either.
It's a pity that an unknown gravity brat got caught in the vortex. Most of the powerhouse can't act against their Hall's will.
Meanwhile,
Inside a different space, the Sub-Taboo Hall's powerhouse is seriously discussed. They are discussing Vincent Carey.
