Chapter First day

Sam just left those words and didn"t even care about the reaction of Brig.

    He just laid down again and tried to rest his eyes once again.

    Sam really didn"t care much at this point. At least not for that day. If he thinks this through, all he has to do is last for a week and this is only the first day.

    He is pretty sure that no matter what the players are trying to do, it is impossible for them to take the technique away. Particularly, after Sam gave such a warning and proof to Brig. He is going to be extra careful and he is not going to get out of the clan unless the situation demands.

    He will definitely pull through this day at least.

    So, all Sam has to do is relax and let the time and situations themselves resolve this guy"s trust problems. Anyway, Sam understood why he has that att.i.tude though. There is no way in h.e.l.l he would believe someone that came out of blue and told him that someone is coming there to steal the technique that he just got his hands on.

    If Sam was in his position, he would have reacted with much more drastic measures.

    In fact, he expected some physical retaliation and prepared to defend himself. It went pretty smoothly in his opinion.

    Brig didn"t know how to react to this behavior. He stood there for a moment and decided to leave.

    He looked at Yana and Kach.

    "I am staying. I need to talk to him about something."

      Kach spoke and Yana who was quite interested in the two strangers also said she would stay behind. Brig didn"t like the idea of that, but when he thought of what kind of people these two are, he decided to leave it be.

    Anyway, it is his own estate. He knew that these people are not stupid enough to pull something off right under his nose.

    "You want to talk about something?" Sam asked Kach with a smile.

    "Yeah, about your wings and beastly aura. That too, if you are okay with it. I can understand if you don"t feel like talking about it though."

    "No problem. Tell me what you want to know?"

    "That aura. It seems like you have a b.e.s.t.i.a.l bloodline."

    "Yeah, I do have one. But isn"t it pretty common? Many people have bloodline descended from beasts."

    "No, yours is way too different. It is way too pure. Way too complete. You are not human, are you? I mean, you are not just a human with a bloodline. It is almost like you are that beast itself."

    "You are pretty perceptive. Yeah. In a way, what you are saying is true. But if you want details on how I am like this, I am afraid I cannot reveal much."

    "I won"t pry. I just wanted to confirm it."

    "Anyway, why don"t you leave to your clan? I am pretty sure they are worried about you. If you delay anymore, you might make them feel scared. They might a.s.sume the worst. After all, big clans like these have very few lines that they cannot cross."

    Yana looked at him coldly and snorted.

    "I am sure you know. The bigger a family grows, the more despicable they become, and the longer it survives, the more skeletons they have in their closets. I am sure, I don"t have to tell you that." Sam just continued without stopping.

    "I know. But my issue is resolved. And if push comes to shove, I will just remove all the limiters I put on myself. If I let lose completely, I might lose some things, but I am sure I will be able to escape. But then it will be this clan that has to look out for me."

    "If you are confident, then it is fine. But I just don"t want you to get caught up in this stupid mess."

    "Speaking of mess, I wanted to ask you. What is happening with your mission? Why are you guys who are completely irrelevant to this realm, trying to interfere in this power struggle?

    The balance between these six organizations is going to break at this rate and you will be right in the middle of it. No offense, but without an organization backing you and nowhere near touching Divine Plane cultivation, this is practically suicide.

    I wouldn"t want to be you in a situation like this."

    "For starters, it is not by choice.

    I mean it is by choice in a way, but the other option is worse than this. I have come too far in this path and have to see through some things, so I can only choose this way.

    As for the other people, that got involved, even they are in same boat as me. We don"t have much choice. Some people are playing around with us and forcing us into situations like these.

    This is not the first time this happened and this is not going to be the last time."

    Sam answered and then looked at Yana.

    "What are you doing here?"

    "What do you mean? This is my father"s house. I can stay wherever I want."

    "Don"t you have any manners? Is everyone from big clans as obsessive as you? Can"t you give me some privacy? You even bothered us in the office."

    "What do you mean by that? You are the one who stirred up trouble there. You don"t have any shame at all. How dare you blame this all on me?"

    "Yeah, yeah. Whatever. If you want to stay here, get some food and wine. I am hungry. At least be useful."

    "You…"

    She wanted to curse him out, but Sam ignored her and went on to talk with Kach.

    Kach looked at her apologetically which seemed to have appeased her a bit.

    Sam chuckled at this.

    Yana called one of the attendants and called for some food and wine which Sam enjoyed in glee while he talked with Kach.

    Time pa.s.sed slowly and in a few hours, they heard some chaos going on outside the building. Sam knew what it was.

    "It seems like the attack came. I hope it is not as boring as the explosive sounds we are getting."

    Yana was a bit scared when she heard all of this.

    "Don"t worry too much. The idiot that pulled all these people for war, doesn"t have anything that could make people scared. He doesn"t have enough time to plan this out and I am pretty sure he doesn"t know that your father knew about the plan and is ready to welcome them.

    The worst-case scenario is that your father will be slightly injured, some infrastructure and manpower loss, and they will all escape in defeat. Your father"s death is far from happening in this battle."

    "Don"t you want to go and confront that person that came along with you? You might be able to prove that what you are saying is true. This could be an advantage."

    "If her father listened to me even a bit, then I would have done it. But now that doesn"t work. I am going to finish the feast, kickback, and sleep for the night.

    And I am pretty sure, that the a.s.shole will come looking for me. He wants nothing more than killing me?"

    "I thought you were on the same boat. Then why does he want to sink you?"

    "He thinks he is my rival. But he is just a pathetic attention-seeking brat who doesn"t know what he is doing in the name of power and authority."

    "So, an ambitious vain guy. Pretty typical."

    "Of course, it is pretty typical. Anyway, just don"t go out. Just stay here until the attack is exhausted and they leave this place.

    Drinking in peace is really good. You can join me if you want."

    Sam extended his vine gourd and offered him some drink. This is not the wine gourd, Sam usually keeps around. Rather, this is the drink Yana got from them.

    "Just who the h.e.l.l are you guys?"

    Yana interrupted.

    Both of them looked at her with frowns on their faces.

    "One of you comes here and asks the young master to apologize, after airing their dirty laundry out in the open. Another one is even crazier.

    You guys feel like you belong to a different race of species." She continued

    "Don"t tell me, you have never seen a person who doesn"t give a s.h.i.t about you, your father, and your family."

    "I didn"t."

    "That only means you are stuck in this place like a frog at the bottom of a well. Just get out of this city once and hide your ident.i.ty, you will not get even ten percent of the respect and attention you have here."

    Yana just snorted at Sam"s words.

    Just like that, the evening pa.s.sed with the three of them having a conversation while they listened to the explosive sounds of the attack. By night, Sam went back to sleep once again. Kach stayed in the room next to Sam for the night.
