Chapter 555  Michael was back

From MC's perspective:

Rebecca didn't doubt Zack's words. Because the guardians reported that Zack didn't go outside. Considering both of their words, she let go of her doubts.

Looking at Zack, she said, "I know your difficulties. That's why I have been keeping an eye on reports. There is a place close to our border."

"Someone from our border patrol team saw thunder and lightning flashing at the top of the mountain."

Hearing that, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. "Why does it feel like an uneven mountain canyon?" I said in my heart.

But I put a surprised expression on my face. I asked, "Dean, where is it located?"

"Can I visit that place?"

Rebecca wasn't surprised by Zack's reaction. She nodded her head before saying, "That place is called Uneven Mountains. But the place is located far away from the academy."

When I heard those words. My mouth twitches. But I recovered my expression soon.

"But don't worry, I have arranged 2 elders for you. They will guide you to that place," Rebecca added further.

A hint of relief flashes in my eyes. I was worried earlier about the journey. But the dean has arranged at the right time.

Suddenly, I thought of something.

I looked at her and said, "Dean, one more thing."

"Lara is facing some problems," After saying that I started to explain. I told her about Michael and his family.

At first, Rebecca showed a calm expression. But when she heard the interference of another academy,

Her eyes flickered with a cold glint.

"Your accusations are serious. Are you sure?" Rebecca asked.

I nodded my head.

"Ernest and Laverne are serious about this. They don't seem to be lying to me," I answered.

"Alright, I will look into this matter. You can go now," Rebecca said.

Hearing that I sighed inwardly before leaving the room.

After walking out of the building, I couldn't help but frown. I don't know whether she will investigate.

Shaking my head, I walked straight to the Gravity Practice Room. It's been a long time since I entered the room.

Meanwhile,

A person walked out of the practice room. He is none other than Michael Blevins. After walking out of the room, the first thing he did was contact the family.

Right after, the call was connected. An excited voice from the other end of the call.

"Son, you are back. Did you break through or not?"

Hearing the excited voice, his eyes flickered.

Michael's face showed a myriad of expressions. Before entering the seclusion, he made up his mind not to leave until he gets a breakthrough.

But unfortunately, he remained in the same base. He is still at Super Elite Peak Stage. His essence was at the limit.

Yet he wasn't able to sense the barrier. Unless he stumbles upon an opportunity.

"Michael, are you there?" The next words broke his thoughts.

"Father, not yet. But you can proceed with your plan. I will convince Laverne," He answered in a cold tone.

But the voice on the other end abruptly stopped. After a few seconds, the voice sounded again.

"Alright, I'll call you later."

Michael stood in the same position for a moment. Then looking outside, he muttered in a slow tone, "Laverne, I can't let your family be a stumbling block to our family's dreams."

After saying that he left the place.

On the other hand, Ernest and Laverne weren't aware that Michael had ended his retreat. They are still planning to enter the monster zones later.

Time passed,

After coming back to my room. I was immediately contacted by Laverne and Ernest. We have a schedule for noon today. After promising them, I went to take a shower.

30 minutes later,

I stepped out of the dorm building and walked to the Teleportation Tower. On the way, I came across many warriors.

Some stopped their movements and turned toward me. While others want me to talk to them. Ignoring everyone, I walked to the place.

When I reached the place. I saw Ernest and Laverne waiting for me. Seeing that I walked toward them.

"I spoke to the dean. She assured me that she will look into Michael's family," I said.

Hearing that Laverne's expression turned better.

"If the dean intervenes, then Michael's father will stay low-key. He won't dare to show his ambition anymore.

"Finally, there is some good news," Ernest said with a smile.

But before we could express our happiness.

"What good news?"

"I want to hear as well."

A voice reached our ears. Ernest and Laverne's faces change drastically. Both of their feet turned cold.

When I turned around, I saw a familiar person again. He is none other than Michael Blevins.

My expression turned grave. But then I found something. He didn't break through.

"Zack, you are here as well. How have you been?" Michael asked. He didn't know that his family's intentions were known to them. He is behaving as usual.

At the same time, I saw through his thoughts. This guy didn't know anything.

"Ernest?"

"Laverne?"

"What happened to both of you?" Michael asked. He spotted their change in expression. But he doesn't know the reasons.

Ernest recovered his expression and commented, "Michael, we are just discussing which monster zone to enter. Fortunately, you came back in time."

Hearing that Laverne also controlled her emotions.

"That's right. Senior brother, you should have contacted us before. We might have waited for your return," I said.

A trace of disappointment flashes in Michael's eyes. He didn't expect Zack to glue with his group during his absence.

Then ignoring him, he turned his attention to Laverne.

"Zack, can you leave?"

"I have something to talk to both of them about," Michael said.

Ernest and Laverne looked at each other. Ernest was quick-witted. He already guessed what he was going to talk about. Unconsciously he turned to Zack.

Seeing that Laverne also turned to Zack.

"This?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise. I found some hatred in Michael's tone. Which is understandable. But regarding his question.

I saw Ernest and Laverne looking at me with pleading eyes. Then I made a firm decision.

"Senior brother, you can freely talk now. I'm not going to leave them," Saying that, I pointed my fingers toward both of them.

Michael's eyes turned cold. But at the same time, he was surprised by Zack's boldness. As far as he knows, Zack didn't join any of the monster zone trips with them except one.

Because of his lack of strength, he stayed away from the Special Faction's common house as well.

"What happened during my absence?" Michael muttered to himself.

Then he asked, "Ernest and Laverne, are you guys sure?" His voice sounded a little bit cold.

"Brother, you didn't know that. Zack and I became friends during your absence. He is one of us right now," Ernest said with a smile.

But his heart is beating at a fast rate. He was aware of Michael's temper. He is not an easygoing person.

"Oh, things have come this far," Michael said with a smile. But his smile was not at all good.

He coldly looked at Zack before coming back to the topic.

"Alright, I will be straightforward. Laverne, I want your father to support mine. My father wants to unify the city."

"He doesn't like that major resources going to unqualified families. I hope your father understands our concerns," Michael said.

Laverne's face turned cold. This is not about supporting but Michael wants her father to submit. This is not going to happen.

"Zack?"She uttered, looking at Zack.

Hearing the conversation, I sighed inwardly. When I joined the academy. I thought that the three of them are good friends.

But now I have realized they formed a group together. Because two of them are from the same city. But I don't know about Ernest's background though.

Shaking my head, I stepped forward.

Looking at Michael, I asked," Senior brother, you are making things difficult for Sister Laverne."

"Are you not afraid of the academy?"

Michael was calm before he let out a small chuckle.

"Academy?"

"Do you know how city administration works?" Michael asked.

Hearing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.

Seeing the silent expressions of the three of them. Michael said, "Things were different before. Where each family head's strength was equal."

"As per academy rules, if my father gets a breakthrough, he can request the academy for assistance."

"The academy wants a strong person to be in charge of the city. My father's ambitions are within the rules."

At the same time, the faces of Ernest and Laverne showed some changes. My eyes quickly spotted their reactions.

"No wonder, the dean was a little responsive. She must have thought about it. But foreign academy's intervention can't be ruled out," I said in my heart.

"Did your father get a breakthrough?" Laverne asked. She heard from her father that Michael's father broke through not long ago. So what's happening right now?

Michale revealed a mysterious smile on his face.

"Laverne, choose carefully. Don't use the academy's name to press us. We are acting within the academy's rules.'

"If you don't like it, ask your father to raise his strength as well. Maybe our city can return to the old days," Michael replied before walking away from the place.

Laverne stood petrified on the spot.
