Chapter Rest

One hour later.

    Sam is sitting inside a clan"s meeting room within the estate.

    Brig is sitting right beside him. Kach and Yana were also there. Apart from them, there is the clan"s leader, the elders and some other core members, including the commander of the City guard.

    "So, the information is confirmed. What do you want to do next Brig?"

    The Clan leader asked.

    "From the information that kid gave me, the other two clans are going to make an attempt today itself. We need to make use of it and get some information from them as well.

    I alerted the spies in other clans, but there is not much information from them for now.

    I am waiting on it.

    We need to see how the six clans are approaching this matter, before we decide on how to proceed."

    "As I said, I would like some information on people of the other clans. All the core members and any members that are not core members, but can still get in touch with the core group of the clan would be great."

    Sam suddenly spoke up in the middle.

    "I already told you. You wouldn"t be able to get any details. I still do not trust you."

    "Okay. But the problem is if all you know is the details about the clans and the clan members, then you won"t be able to win this thing. Because there are six people that came from the same place as I am.

    They are smart, resourceful and done things that you wouldn"t even able to imagine. The achievements they have will put any of their peers that are in your clan to shame.

    I bet even you, the person who is renowned in this realm, wouldn"t have done half the stuff they had done when you were their age and their power level."

    "Hmph, it is easy to speak. Anybody can spout nonsense. It is very easy.

    Show us some proof and then we will talk."

    One of the Elders spoke.

    Sam shook his head and said.

    "Honestly, I don"t really care enough to talk for hours and try to prove my point. 

    I am sure whatever you are planning is going to be a waste. You will just contact me after that.

    The only free advice I have is that, the three clans that are not approaching through Yana will approach through a completely unexpected means and their approach might even be delayed a bit.

    Try to tap into the spies of those clans. Try to find out if they came into contact with these kinds of people."

    Sam spoke out and took out a doc.u.ment.

    The doc.u.ment has a detailed description of other players. They are not detailed enough to give out the complete overview of the players, but there is some descriptive information.

    Their basic physical features, their elemental affinities, their weapons etc.

    Apart from that, there is not other information that could be taken advantage of.

    "This is the only advice I am going to give today. After this, even if you come with all the history and present information of all six clans, you wouldn"t be able to get any advice from me.

    All you will get is this.

    If you can show me the place you arranged for me to stay, I will be glad. I think I will take rest for now."

    "You are not going anywhere. You are staying with me. You are going to stick around no matter where I go."

    "I will rather not take the effort. You can trust me that I am not going to leave anywhere. And anyway, I am pretty sure that you are not going to go anywhere any time soon. You are going to stay here and discuss plans.

    Thwarting two proposals from those hopless young masters will keep you busy.

    If I have to guess, the other three clans might have also gotten information from somewhere about these proposals and they will see how these things are going before they sit back and plan.

    You can actually take a breather for now."

    As if contemplating something, Brig stayed silent for a few minutes before agreeing to Sam.

    He just sent him to an empty room within his estate along with an attendant.

    There is a formation around the estate and it will inform as soon as Sam leaves his room. Even the spatial transference was blocked by that formation, so Sam has to leave the estate before he could escape.

    Sam didn"t care much about it.

    He really did want to take some rest.

    The corruption is wrecking havoc in his body and he needs some rest.

    He laid down on the bed to take care of himself. Since he is not in h.e.l.l, it is extremely hard for him to suppress the corruption. For some reason, the corruption was easier to tame, when it was in the environment surrounded by h.e.l.l.

    Here, in this relatively pure environment, the corruption is running rampant.

    That is illogical and he cannot comprehend why it is happening like that.

    Now, he has to figure out a way to suppress the energy here. The pain is going to be a problem in long term.

    But there are no results even after a few hours. And Sam felt a bit exhausted because these fruitless trials. He finally heaved a sigh and decided to take a nap.

    He woke up after a few hours.

    "That was some good nap. It could have been better if I wasn"t hurting though. f.u.c.king h.e.l.l. Those a.s.sholes picked the perfect time to screw with me.

    Let me find out who did this and I will kick their a.s.s barefeet."

    As he muttered to himself while stretching lazily, Sam sensed someone coming to him. He watched as Brig, Yana and Kach all three of them coming running towards him.

    "Kach? What the h.e.l.l are you still doing here? I thought you would have left. Isn"t you issue still unresolved? Don"t tell me this old man just blindly supported his student and is not giving your sword back."

    "No, my issue is resolved. I can leave with Brig"s student. But I am staying back for a while."

    "Why? Did you fall in love with this spoiled girl?"

    "I am staying here for you. I need to talk to you about something and also I still need to repay you for helping out with those city guards.

    I always repay my debts."

    "That"s better than falling in love. Anyway, why are you guys here?"

    "The attempts from clan2 and clan 3 have arrived and they are just as flashy as the falcons."

    "Glad they are here. What else?"

    "Yeah, but that is not all. Your guess is off a bit. From the information we gathered, one of the clans is making a larger move today.

    They are coming for a head-on confrontation and they are openly trying to steal the item. We don"t know how they are going approach this with such a peculiar condition.

    "That"s surprising. But did you investigate about some youngsters coming there"

    "Yes and the person is matching one of the appearance you described. For some reason, he didn"t have to create any fuss like you did. He gained easy access into the clan and he interacted with the core members.

    He managed to convince them to move for an attack today itself. We still don"t know what he said to make them do this, but the attack might happen in a few hours."

    Sam looked at the description they are point out and then smiled.

    It is actually Dayus.

    "Of all people, he is the first one trying. I can imagine why though."

    "He is also coming along with them. This might be a chance for you to prove yourself. Prove to me that you and this guy know each other and you are also not working together.

    Then I will believe you."

    "Really? You will never change do you. I already told you, I am not going to prove myself anymore.

    The things will unveil themselves.

    In fact, if you are really curious about knowing who I am, capture one of the people that came to attack you today and ask them why they are attacking right away.

    Of course, capture a guy who will have some inside information and ask them.

    They will tell you, that after gaining the trust and the clan agreeing to take the suggestions of the new guy, the first advice they got from is that someone is coming to help you to make sure that your technique preserved properly.

    And the longer time that someone, a.k.a me has, the harder it will be to get the technique away, so they have to take advantage and attack as fast as possible.

    That way, not only this new person will not be a hindrance, he will also be able to help us, since he will create some doubts and divisions within the clan."

    If they didn"t give the reason along those lines, I will give all the answers about me as you want."
