Philip walked forward and placed his hand on top of the cylinder, there is a small metallic pipe fixed to it, he pulled it out and the tube extended with the metallic pipe as he inserted the pipe into the forcefield, there is a small rune on the pipe that it can ignore the forcefield.

Then, Philip pressed a b.u.t.ton on the cylinder and gas escaped into the forcefield, as the gas is almost colourless, n.o.body in the audience is able to guess what Philip is doing, after sometime, Philip looked at all of them and said.

"This is the fate of a traitor."

With that, he pressed another b.u.t.ton, and the gas caught flame.

"Ahhhhhhhhhh… Ahh.. AHhhh."

The man inside the forcefield started screaming, he is the pharmaceutical tower head, the least involved on in the whole endeavour.

The pharmaceutical a.s.sociation is still under construction and they have to establish yet again and prove to the rest of the major powers and a.s.sociations to get their status back.

Until then, the Pharmaceutical towers in the empire can be considered to have no backing.

But he is still involved in this situation, so there is no way he would escape scot free.

The death like this torture and the torture intensified because his cultivation is still present, he is barely restricted and the innate resistance will only make the burning more torturous to the person.

Now, he is dying first, at least he can ignore the psychological pain the remaining three are currently going through.

They didn"t antic.i.p.ate this. Sam has already known this matter and yet here they thought they kept it a secret. But still they didn"t think Sam would do anything to them, after all the a.s.sociations are omnipotent in their minds. Such was their training.

"Sam, you are burning bridges like this. The a.s.sociations wouldn"t leave you alone." The artisan tower head yelled at the top of his lungs. He knew that nothing would come out even if he argued with Philip and Jack.

They only take orders and no matter what they will execute them. The only one who has power to stop this is Sam.

Philip smirked as he looked at him coldly. He didn"t even bother to stop him and let him yell.

After yelling some nonsense, all three of them increased the struggle to escape.

The pharmaceutical head, stopped his cries and that is because his vocal cords are burned. Now, only faint screams could be heard.

The three of them are sweating bullets.

The next in line is the inscription head. He started begging Philip.

"Please let me go. I have a family and children to take care of. Please. I don"t want to die like this. What we did is wrong, but they are from a.s.sociation, we don"t have power against them. We could only give in."

Jack snorted in disdain at this. He saw the video; he knew whether what he said is true or not. He felt disgusted breathing the same air as him.

Now they are talking about the a.s.sociation being powerful and them being helpless, but in the video, there is no intimidation of power. They are desperately trying to get in bed with those superiors and these designs are the only options they could get

Now, they are trying to act pitiful.

Philip activated the trap again and the flame started again. The Inscription tower head started burning with the screams.

The audience are looking at the scene in astonishment.

They all now understood that Sam who can protect them from any threat can destroy them as well.

The citizens of the city are mostly employees. They all have deep respect to Sam when he saved the city from Old One. But that respect clouded their fears and now their fears are reminded by this incident.

They cannot betray the organization or else Sam would kill them.

The Architect Chief and the Formation chief looked at the scene with their eyes open wide. One of them is recording the whole incident with the crystal.

They came for the information regarding the designs, but now they are met with this.

They have to inform this to their higher-ups urgently.

But they didn"t go immediately.

They want to see how Sam will handle the situation; this is related to them after all.

After the execution of four people, Philip looked at the audience with his back straight.

"Due to the betrayal from the four towers, the people from the four towers who are working in the city are relieved from their duties, you shall leave this city by evening or else prepare to face the consequences. You are not the part of this city anymore and even if you want to visit this place as a guest, you can only come back after a month.

As for the partnership with the rest of the towers in the empire, it is going to be temporarily suspended affective today.

All the parks will be shut down temporarily and all the employees belonging to the four towers that are involved in the project at any part of the empire shall pay a visit to the Sam"s city in a week.

They are to bring all the necessary doc.u.ments regarding the accounts, management and maintenance of the Parks.

The employees list is already in our hands and in case anyone goes missing, the said city"s four towers will be responsible for this and have to bear the consequences.

The people"s hearts shook. Sam really is taking the betrayal hard and all the officials better be prepared. They felt pity for them.

The a.s.sembly was dismissed.

That moment, the news was sent to all the parks and all the cities" employees under the towers who work in the park are sweating bullets.

Because, they knew that something big is going to happen. They are going to face the big change head on and there is no way out.

Similarly, the new went to the imperial capital. The emperor and the four tower heads are shocked.

They didn"t expect Sam to make such big moves.

Emperor in particular had a bad premonition. He knew about the situation in the central continent. He was in touch with Nicholas who is a core disciple of the thunder G.o.d temple. He was updating about the happenings in the major powers.

He knew that parks are being built by the thunder G.o.d temple in other empires. But he didn"t expect that designs are stolen along with the idea.

From Sam"s character one should be surprised, if he takes this lying down and his retaliation came swiftly.

He immediately boarded his vulture and moved out of the city.

The four tower heads also boarded the train in order to go as fast as they can. Not only them all the tower heads in the cities and the employees are waiting for the train. The nearest people are already leaving.

They all wanted to enter the Sam"s city as fast as they can. No one wanted to face Sam"s wrath.

But everyone is nervous.

With the network being this big, it is inevitable that some corruption would happen. Particularly, when it involves billions of spirit stones and Sam being absent for a long time, there is no way these officials can keep their hands clean from the money.

That is why they are nervous. Most of them changed the doc.u.ments accordingly, but they are not completely sure.

But what they don"t know is, while they are trying to forge these doc.u.ments and stuff, the communication towers are doing other things.

No one in the whole network knew that each communication tower is enchanted by a spirit and the spirit only listens to Sam"s commands.

But it has other function too and that is surveillance of the city. As long as they used the communication token to discuss anything about money and corruption, the spirit will listen in and sort out the information. Apart from that, there is a spirit in the Park itself that only has one job. To remember the data of the finances that go through the park. This spirit can contact the communication tower.

Sam might not be able to get all the information, but he can get most of it.

Philip a.s.signed some soldiers from the Sam"s battalion and made them sit inside the Sam"s tower"s room. This place is where they receive the information from the cities" spirits.

They only have one job. Doc.u.ment all the information the spirits are throwing at them.

If the people that are coming knew that there is such an arrangement, they wouldn"t dare to come here, they would go to imperial capital to seek punishment for their crimes.

In two days, Arc entered the Sam"s city. He came at the full speed and the vulture almost looked like it was on its last legs.

He rushed to the tower and asked the receptionist for Sam.

Everyone was stunned to see the emperor like this.

But to their surprise, Arc wasn"t able to meet Sam.

He could only meet Philip who said with a smile.

"I am sorry your majesty. But Sam is busy in making something and it is an extremely critical time. You have to wait for five more days."

The attendants and all are feeling shocked. That is the emperor and even he has to wait for five more days. Even though, they are afraid of the emperor"s reaction, there is a faint sense of pride building up in their hearts.

Arc hook his head and said.

"Can we talk in private?" He didn"t care about the rejection, but he needs some information and he can get it from Philip.
