Chapter 2186 Failure to Obtain Information
Time pa.s.sed with everyone being busy with their own plans.
Sam"s plan of instigating the dismissed elders to join hands with the families and clans was successful. b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot, whose plan was to acquire the a.s.sets of these elders has slowed down and now is in snail"s pace.
He absolutely cannot backdown from it now.
He already spent a lot of money on the peace with Gambler Academy and there is no way he could just backdown right now.
If the academy was in a normal state, he would have barged into those family grounds and brought those elders out.
However, right now those families and clans are patrons of various Olympian academies. Once he made a move on them, the other academies will show their fangs at Zeus Academy. He just prevented the war with the Gambler academy.
If the other academies now start a war with because of this, it would be like jumping from the pan into the stove.
So, he had to slow down a bit. But still, he is adamant about getting those a.s.sets and resources.
Meanwhile, he started investigating Sam.
Over the days, he spent a lot of time investigating Sam and Icarus along with other members. He realized that Sam did have connection with them through Ivar.
After further digging, he came to a conclusion that Sam and Ivar became close when Sam went on to set the records in the academy towers of the Norse academy. However, then also he didn"t gain much information on why they got acquainted.
However, questions did raise about why Sam targeted every academy in the Olympus, but only a few academies in other regions?
Some in Sanatan, some in Xia, a couple in Norse and a lot in Olympian region. Why?
This is something that stumped Christos as well, however he didn"t find too much merit in this line of investigation. After all, in his opinion, Sam was just acting up to gain some fame. He did it to spread his name far and wide.
Christos wholeheartedly believed that reason because that is what he would do if he had the same ability as Sam.
People really do judge others by their own standards.
However, when b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot came across this, he took it seriously. He immediately went to meet Heron, however, Heron was nowhere to be seen in his room at the inn.
There was only a message left.
It stated that he went to look for Theron as he got some lead.
b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot couldn"t place much hope on this suspended dean for information, but that doesn"t mean he doesn"t have a way. There are other academies and other deans.
Of course, he would still miss the most important piece of that puzzle. How did Sam convince Heron to give him the Olympus token that let him access all the academy towers?
Whatever purpose Sam has, with his hostile behavior towards the Zeus academy before, the Dean shouldn"t have even considered giving him that token. Particularly, when Sam is part of a different academy.
It seems like most people just ignored this link.
Heron can give that answer, however he could still talk to other Deans.
He first went to the Norse region and met with Olaf.
"Why are you here, b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot?" Olaf asked with a frown as soon as b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot appeared at the gates of the Thor Academy.
Because of the conflict currently the Thor academy is constantly demanding the Zeus academy for "explanation". They are threatening the Zeus academy with war. Olaf also allowed this as this is the proper excuse to obtain the legacy inheritances.
However, he also knew about b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot and his crazy history. So, he informed everyone that the moment b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot appears in the Norse region, the news should reach Olaf.
Even before Olaf could react, b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot already appeared at his door step.
"Don"t worry, I am not here about the silly struggle you are putting up to get benefits from the Zeus academy.
I am here to investigate something."
"Investigation? What would make even the one and only b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot to investigate personally?"
"Apparently, a mysterious and well-known first grade student from Gambler Academy would do." b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot replied with a slight smile.
The sarcastic expression on Olaf"s face disappeared and was replaced with a deep frown.
"Sam?"
"Yes, I need to know something about him."
"What is it?"
"Why on earth did you let Sam challenge your academy tower?"
Olaf was stunned and that expression was followed by an expression of fear caution.
"Why do you care? It is not like your Zeus academy didn"t allow him to enter your tower."
b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot smiled and said.
"That is what I don"t understand as well. Heron, you and that lady that likes corpses… the rest as well. What is wrong with your brains to allow someone from another academy to just barge in and defeat your towers?
Why did you even allow him to do that?"
"Again, you can ask your own Dean about that."
b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot sighed and said.
"Olaf, for the past few days, no matter what I did, it ended up in failure. The suspended elders were not listening to me, those b.l.o.o.d.y n.o.ble league families are not bending backwards for me, it is very frustrating.
And I am not really willing to take a no for an answer."
Olaf was incensed when he saw that expression on b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot"s face. It was humiliating to be recipient of that expression of disdain and disregard.
"What will you do? If you want information only the Dean of your academy can tell you that. It is not anyone else"s business to meddle in that regard.
You won"t get anything from me anyway."
Olaf turned around and was about to walk away, but b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot held him by his collar and pulled him back forcefully.
b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot was indeed not feeling amicable at this moment. Right now, he just wants everything to go his way.
In his mind, it is clearly not much to ask. So, he just held Olaf by his neck and said.
"Come on, Olaf. I don"t want to make a fuss. If I really hit you right now, the Thor academy will use that as an excuse to start a war. Then I will really lose all the patience and I will escalate the war to the instructor and elder level.
You know what happens then.
So, let"s not just step on each other"s toes and keep it civil. Just give me the information that I want."
Olaf gritted his teeth and forcefully got out of that hold. He looked at the surroundings and saw that some of his students saw him. He got very angry. His aura raged along with his Divine energy. He is ready to thrash this guy black and blue.
But when he looked at b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot"s face, he gritted his teeth and held back.
"Do you think I talked nonsense all this while? Only a Dean of the academy can know this information. If you are desperate for it, go and beat the c.r.a.p out of Heron and see if he will reveal it. Or you can go f.u.c.k right off and ask Zeus directly.
Why are you pestering me here? I don"t have anything to tell you."
Olaf almost yelled out loud in frustrating. This is what"s wrong with strong people. You can"t do s.h.i.t to them when things become difficult. Olaf felt like he lost his face right there.
b.l.o.o.d.y Chariot watched as Olaf walked away after saying his piece. He felt like there seemed to be some truth to what Olaf said.
He went to Hel academy.
And then to the academies in other realms.
All of them gave similar answers. So, he can only go back to Zeus academy without any information, except for learning that there is definitely some information to be learned from here.
So, he could only go back with this failure and look for Heron himself.
Meanwhile, Christos is overwhelmed by the information that he got from the wide net he cast.
The information is abundant, but there is a lot of useless information mixed with it. However, one thing he learned made him feel a chill run down his spine.
That is the disappearance of some of the Olympian forces. He couldn"t help but feel surprised because of this. The reports that came back clearly stated that a lot of forces that followed Olympian G.o.ds were destroyed completely.
They were uprooted, with no bloodline left. Even if someone people were left behind, they are useless and they don"t even any sense of their own ident.i.ties.
And their territories were completely deprived of any faith towards the Olympian G.o.ds because they were all suffering from various diseases, famines and floods. It was like the nature has cursed them to d.a.m.nation.
Only after they completely renounced their belief in Olympus were they able to regain peace and growth in their lives.
