<strong>Chapter 1728: Chapter 1728: Caught in the Act</strong>


    “Greetings, Master!”


    Several figures appeared and kneeled in unison.


    They were dressed in ck, with the unique emblem of ck-wind Academy on their chests.


    A long sword was also tucked behind their waists.


    “Stand up.” Julius Reed put away the ck jade and spoke softly.


    He wasn’t used to men calling him Master; it always felt a bit strange.


    When the ck jade appeared, Julius thought he might need to wait a moment, but he didn’t expect someone to arrive so quickly.


    “How did you manage to appear so quickly?” He asked with curiosity.


    Judging by the speed, these people couldn’t have been more than five hundred meters away.


    Otherwise, even a Great Grandmaster wouldn’t be able to appear in such a short time.


    “We’ve been following you. But without seeing the ck jade, we won’t reveal ourselves. If others are around you, we will also maintain an appropriate distance.” The leading man in ck stood up and answered truthfully.


    “How do you know where I am?” Julius was somewhat surprised.


    It sounded like these guys had been tracking him.


    Too careless.


    He didn’t notice at all.


    As he observed closely, he discovered that the ck-d individuals were quite skillful, with particrly subtle auras.


    Beyond a hundred meters, he couldn’t sense them at all.


    Moreover, their steps were extremely light.


    Walking on snow, they would only make faint sounds.


    If you didn’t listen carefully, it would be hard to detect them.


    “Master, to tell you the truth…” the leader pointed at Julius’s chest: “This jade has a tracking function. When you enter within fifty miles of us, you’ll be detected. This jade was originally with the headmaster. ording to academy regtions, once you enter within fifty miles, we must send someone to follow you and serve you at all times.”


    “Tracking?” Julius took out the jade and examined it closely but couldn’t find where a tracking device could be hidden.


    Could it be inside?


    This Curtis Channing certainly knew how to enjoy life.


    Everywhere he goes, someone would wee and serve him.


    Almost like having a personal butler.


    “May I ask, Master, if there are any orders?” the leading man inquired respectfully.


    “Your skills…” Julius stored away the ck jade, his eyes scrutinizing the individuals before him.


    He needed to first confirm just how skilled these people were.


    “We excel in Qinggong and are just ordinary Grandmaster level inbat. If ites to escape, even a Great Grandmaster couldn’t catch a glimpse of our backs.” The leader, somewhat proud, spoke of their skills: “We’re responsible for intelligence gathering. Fights are usually handled by the academy’s Martial Department.”


    “Good!” Julius nodded, very satisfied!


    What he needed were people who could appear and disappear without a trace.


    Listening to the ck-d man’s words, he gained more insight into ck-wind Academy.


    This clear division ofbor and the intricate arrangements on Curtis Channing’s ck jade were in no way inferior to Ocean Academy.


    It was evident that Curtis Channing had been holding back for years.


    When he acted, he aimed for the sky!


    Clearly nning to take down Ocean Academy in one move!


    Ambitious indeed!


    “Later, draw out those from Ocean Academy. Did you see those men and women I was talking to earlier?” Julius pointed in the direction the Funeral Alliance had left.


    “We have someone tailing them,” the leader took out a disy from his pocket, pointing at the shing red dot: “They’ve walked three kilometers and stopped. Seems they’re preparing to camp.”


    Having long been involved in intelligence and tracking work, the lieutenant had his own experience and judgment.


    “Go to the Caldwell Family and lure out the people from Ocean Academy,” Julius lowered his voice. “Lead them near this group but not too close. And keep a three to five-minute gap, leaving traces to guide the Caldwell Family to where that group is staying. Understood?”


    “Understood!” The leader nodded: “I’ll handle it personally. Master, any other orders?”


    “That’s all.” Julius rolled up his sleeves, nced at his in wristwatch, and said: “I need to head back now. Make sure this task is done well.”


    The time waste; if Brant Fairbanks found out he was awake, it wouldn’t be easy to exin.


    As for the task at hand, Julius trusted the people from ck-wind Academy more.


    Curtis Channing’s arrangements couldn’t go wrong.


    …


    “Why isn’t he back yet!”


    Inside Gray Wolf Pavilion.


    Baylor Davenport watched the time, pacing the room incessantly.


    A half-hour had passed.


    Still no sign of him.


    Could something have gone wrong?


    She was very worried.


    The undercurrents in Boulevard Mountain were evident to anyone with eyes.


    Plus, Julius Reed had killed many young Grandmasters, offending numerous sects, many of whom likely wanted him dead.


    Tap! Tap!


    Suddenly.


    Footsteps echoed from the corridor.


    Baylor Davenport instantly panicked.


    It was Brant Fairbanks’s footsteps!


    This was bad!


    Ever since she learned that theyout inside her body was Brant Fairbanks’s conspiracy, Baylor Davenport felt deep fear facing this headmaster.


    Now the headmaster hade.


    The West Tower wasn’t here!


    What to do!


    The footsteps drew nearer!


    Baylor Davenport’s face turned crimson, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.


    What to do!!!


    Thud!


    A knock on the door sounded.


    Baylor Davenport’s heart nearly jumped out of her chest!


    “Damn it, where are you! Not back yet! You want me to hold him off, how can I do that!” She was about to cry.


    “Open the door.” Brant Fairbanks’s voice came from outside.


    “Come back quickly!” Baylor Davenport’s mind went nk.


    The headmaster was just outside the door, how to stop him?


    “Where’s the person!”


    Brant Fairbanks was evidently impatient. “Baylor, West Tower?”


    “Here! Right away!” Baylor Davenport replied, steeling herself. She removed her top and dove into bed.


    With a swift motion, she pulled up the curtain.


    “What’s going on!”


    Bam!


    Brant Fairbanks, clearly sensing something wrong, shattered the lock with a palm and pushed the door open!


    But when he saw, through the thin curtain, Baylor Davenport’s pale back!


    He stopped in his tracks!


    “Apologies for the intrusion. Hold off for now; I have some matters.” Brant Fairbanks quickly turned away, closing the door. “One minute for you.”


    Baylor Davenport’s face was flushed to the point it could drip water!


    One minute!


    She looked out the window.


    Perfect timing!


    A shadow flickered past.


    Julius Reed rolled onto the bed, silently covering Baylor Davenport with a nket.


    “Sorry for being a bitte.”


    He returned just as Brant Fairbanks opened the door.


    That was close!


    “You… I thought you died out there!” Baylor Davenport was both embarrassed and angry.


    “Put your clothes on; I’ll handle the rest.” Julius said and went to open the door.


    As he returned, he had brought in that ck-wind Academy lieutenant, sneaking into Caldwell’s Gray Wolf Pavilion amid the chaos.


    And he had already chosen the escape route.


    The door just opened.


    Seeing Julius Reed at the door, Brant Fairbanks was surprised: “West Tower, you’re okay?”


    “With the headmaster’s blessing, I woke up not long ago.” Julius scratched his head awkwardly while Baylor Davenport intentionally walked while dressing.


    It seemed earlier, it was just a passionate moment.


    Click.


    Unluckily.


    A piece of paper fell to the ground.


    “What’s this?” Before Julius could reach for it, Brant Fairbanks swiftly pinched it with his fingers!


    He unfolded it.


    Upon seeing the contents, his face instantly changed.
