Chapter 12: People from the Tower



Two people could be seen sitting on these chairs with serious looks on their faces, another man stood in front of the large glass panel, looking at the view of the forest while turning his back to the rest of the office room.

"What is the report on the mission to the soulless graveyard?" A calm voice sounded from the man who was staring at the outside view, both hands folded behind his waist, completing his straight posture.

The eyes of the two men who were sitting trembled slightly as they stared at the back of the man who just asked a question, not daring to keep him waiting, one of the two stood up and said.

" Our tower sent three Domain lords along with two half supremes for the mission…we lost contact with all of them a few days ago " The man added after a brief pause.

The palm of the man clenched behind his back upon hearing this news, clearly shaken but managed to not react too strongly as a sign of great steeze. The loss of Domain lords and half-supremes was no small matter but he could not lose his composure in front of his subordinates.

"What about the other towers, any news from them?" The man asked once more, his tone even calmer than before, that it made the two men straighten their backs as beads of sweat began to form on their faces.

Gulp!

The man standing swallowed hard before proceeding to speak up.

"They received similar damage along with the loss of a few True lords," the man said carefully.

Silence reigned for a few seconds after the man made his report, he did not dare to sit and waited for his superior to act.

A whole minute passed in silence before finally, the man stopped staring at the view of the forest and turned around.

His appearance was that of a man in his late fifties, his facial features were well-defined which made one think of how handsome he must have been during his prime. His head was covered in black hair with a few strands of white hair mixed within, an almost unnoticeable wrinkle at the edges of both eyes spoke of his age.

This man had sharp green eyes that looked like they could pierce through a person whenever he looked at them, his wide shoulders and straight posture gave the feeling of a vicious emperor.

He wore a suit without a tie and the first few buttons of his inner white shirt were left open, exposing his upper chest.

With quiet steps, the man slowly walked over to the executive chair and sat on it, placing an elbow on the armrest while resting his chin on his knuckles, his other hand was placed on the desk as his fingers taped on it repeatedly.

"So, the mission was a failure?" The man asked after staring daggers at the two nervous men in front of him for a good couple of seconds.

The bodies of the two men were slightly trembling and their palms were sweaty but they still forced themselves to nod in response.

Ding!

The sound of a phone notification interrupted what the green-eyed man was about to say next, his eyes flashed with annoyance as he picked up his phone from his desk and looked at the screen.

The two men quickly saw the expression on the man\'s face shift from one of annoyance to a dubious one when he saw what had caused his phone\'s alarm to go off.

Wordlessly raising his eyes to the two of them, he said.

"Leave"

The two men immediately got up, bowed, and walked out of the office in quick steps.

After he was left all alone in his office, the face of the middle-aged man finally shifted, becoming one of disbelief in the next moment. An expression that he would usually not show outside casually.

Without a moment of hesitation, he unlocked his phone and dialed a number. The phone rang for just three seconds before the other side connected and without waiting for the other party to talk, the green-eyed man spoke first.

"Is the information in your message true? You better have not interrupted me over a silly mistake" his voice was so deep and menacing that the sound of the other party gulping could be heard over the phone.

"Y-yes, tower master. The information is true, I witnessed it myself. They are still here at the moment and a lot of representatives from different towers are trying to recruit them as we speak!" The voice on the other side of the phone spoke hurriedly.

The eyes of the man flashed with a glint before replying.

"I\'ll be there soon," he said before disconnecting the call.

He looked around his office for a couple of seconds as the message he had read a while ago kept appearing in his mind.

" A SS, S, and A level talent appearing at the same time, huh?" He muttered to himself before suddenly disappearing from the office.

...…..

Back at the awakening center.

Large groups of people surrounded Ralph and Ivan who had yet to step out of their pods, of course, the crowd around Ivan had more people compared to Ralph\'s.

"Hello young man, I\'m a representative of the Golden Hawk Tower, I would like to invite you to join our tower as a recruit. There are a lot of benefits in joining our tower…"

" Hi, I\'m the vice tower master of the Federation assembly tower, I happily invite…."

" Hi, I\'m from the Green dragons tower, we…."

One after the other numerous people spoke to Ivan at the same time, all of them trying to get his attention and invite him to join their tower; Ralph was also going through the same thing.

"You maggots should get out of my way, can\'t you let the young men get down from their pods at least?" A powerful voice sounded from behind the crowd of people, causing all of them to turn silent and turn to look at the owner of the voice who dared to scold so many people.

When they turned around, the majority of people immediately froze for a moment before moving to the side and creating a path for someone at the back. Ivan and Ralph looked at the owner of the voice who was standing at the entrance of the hall and looked to be a middle-aged man in his forties. He had a huge build and was in a blue suit.

Neither Ralph nor Ivan knew who this man was but their curiosity did not last for long as the crowd began to whisper.

"Just because he\'s a tower master of one of the Lance towers, he thinks he has the right to scold us?" Someone muttered in displeasure.

"Shhh, don\'t let him hear you. Even if he is a tower master of a branch tower, his strength isn\'t weaker than those smaller main tower masters. And don\'t forget that the Lance tower is one of the biggest five towers in the world, do you want to anger a Lance?" Another person immediately cautioned the person who had expressed his displeasure.

A few more whispered already around the crowd of people which Ivan and Ralph could hear, the man who was the main topic also heard these words but didn\'t react to them.

From what Ivan had heard, this man was a tower master of a branch tower that was under a certain Lance tower. This tower was one of the biggest and strongest towers in the world and was owned by the Lance family.

And seeing how cautious and afraid most of these people were toward this man, it could be said as well that he had a certain level of strength.

The man in question casually strolled through the path that had been created by the crowd and approached Ivan and Ralph, stopping after reaching Ralph\'s pod which was close to Ivan\'s.

"First of all, congratulations on awakening successfully and attaining a remarkable result at that. Your families must be very proud to have such talents as yourselves, now why don\'t you both step down from the pods first so we can talk?"

The man said to them with a kind smile on his face.

Ivan and Ralph looked at each other before climbing down from the pod, the liquid in the pod was a special type so they did not get wet despite spending a few minutes in it.

Glen forced his way through the crowd of people and went to stand beside Ralph and Ivan. Though he wasn\'t jealous of them getting all the attention, he didn\'t feel happy with being ignored.

The man looked at Glen with a raised eyebrow but did not say anything immediately since Ivan or Ralph did not say anything about Glen\'s appearance.

" And who might this young man be?" He asked in a gentle tone despite his menacing appearance, trying to appeal as friendly as possible.

"They are my friends, I also just awakened!" Glen said while pointing at the screen above the pod he had used, the information of his awakening was still displayed on it
