1806 Preparing for Next Reveal
Sam stood at the bank of a stream as he watched the water flow gently.
He could see the fish swimming along the stream. It is peaceful and calm. He took in the breeze with a very peaceful expression.
Maya is under a tree nearby as her kids played around. She looked at Sam and wanted to ask something. But looking at his peaceful expression, she didn’t want to disturb him. She kind of felt guilty as Sam is in a constant fighting mode since she met him and she is the reason that he is fighting.
Even though she knew that there is some twisted deal between Sam and Lucifer which is the reason for him to agree to this, she has a feeling that even if Lucifer is not in the equation, Sam would have still helped her if they crossed paths.
At this moment, Sam suddenly turned his head and looked at her.
She smiled casually and turned to her kids.
“Do you have something to ask? No questions about how it was a close call for us. After all, I did put you in front of one of our captors.”
“It is true that I was afraid, but more than that fear, I got an impression of a different thing.”
“What would that be?”
.....
“Even when you put me in such a dangerous position, nothing happened to me. They could not do anything to me even when I was just two feet away.
That gave me strength and belief more than fear.
Thank you for that.”
Sam just shrugged at that response. It is better that she is more daring. So, he can make plans without worrying too much.
At the moment, he already triggered a large-scale war within the clans. All this while, these people are careful and the big guys, to be precise the clan leaders didn’t really start fighting. But with Sam’s interference, he is sure that the first clan leader will die soon and will soon be followed by more clan leaders as well.
Once it starts, it won’t stop anymore.
This is just the beginning of a very vast chaos that Sam has planned for them.
After another ten minutes, Sam took Maya and the kids to a nearby city and left them there. There is still an hour or so before the next reveal happens and he has to figure out something.
The whole concept of making his location known every three hours is to make Sam unable to plan properly.
After all, when dealing with the first two clans, he took his time, did his scouting and properly made his preparations to deal with all the possible scenarios and three hours time is not enough for him to do all of this.
That is why, he decided to use this to his advantage.
Until now, fifteen clans got his location and ten more clans are left out of which the five are going to have the next reveal.
From the basic information, he has at hand, all ten of these clans are a bit far away and out of them three clans are currently in an alliance. So, if Lucifer played a trick and only revealed his location to one of these three clans and assumed that their relationship and alliance is solid, then he would have three clans after him.
So, if played right in a single reveal, Sam will attract seven clans and it is possible that he could attract six more clans in the reveal after that.
Putting that aside, right now Sam wanted to use this chaos to get the next child as soon as possible. Right now, he has three children in his hands and the toughest to obtain at the moment is in the Olympian organization.
Sam had already decided to leave that for the last.
That means, he has three more children to catch and he needs to use his next reveal to the maximum efficiency.
He needs to stir up trouble in the right place and the right time.
As first step, he decided to learn some information about what happened in Magman city after he left.
He went to the nearby city and talked to some merchants casually and finally got some information.
Magman clan leader is abducted by three clans that formed an impromptu alliance and in the process, they injured the rest of the clan leaders a little bit.
One who is injured the most is Shijin’s father. He is a reckless person, to begin with. So, when things didn’t go his way, he just went crazy and acted stupid. Things went sideways and he had to escape.
Sam got the info on these three clan leaders and he also got an idea of who initiated and led the alliance from a merchant who actually escaped the Magman city as soon as the clan fell.
With this new information, Sam decided to plan his next steps. He went back to Maya and said.
“We are going to follow a strategy similar to the first one. We are going to enter another city, but this time, the city doesn’t belong to a clan that captured you.
Instead, they are one of the clans that are trying to get your child from other clans.
So, things would be a little different. But we have to be just as careful.
Maya nodded and got ready to move. Sam took out his dimensional drifter and went to the nearest location to his next destination.
There he went out into the woods and tamed a flying beast before reaching the closest possible distance to the next city.
He went into the city alone in a disguise, took a room in the most luxurious inn, and finally used a dimensional drifter to bring Maya and her children into the room.
He couldn’t help but shake his head as he thought of how much he is using the dimensional drifter.
It’s a great device that could allow people to transverse dimensions and he is using it to bypass formations and surveillance.
There is not much time left. So, he didn’t bother to move out himself, instead, he let his usual soul and shadow search get some information.
Meanwhile within the same city, inside the clan grounds of Sam’s next target.
Three clan leaders that managed to abduct the Magman clan leader are currently staring at their captive.
Magman clan leader didn’t bother hiding anything and spilled all the information.
Clan leader 1 looked at him strangely and said.
“So, you are saying that a youngster came to you and said that he is there to help you protect that kid and you are sure that he did his best, but someone still stole your child?”
“Yes and as I said it is a guy named Sam. Kumar already showed us what Sam looks like and right before he escaped, I actually saw him. He is the one who has the lady and the kids.”
Clan leaders exchanged a glance and Clan leader 2 spoke up.
“Come on, do you really think that we will believe whatever stories you make up? A person at the peak of Astral plane might be powerful and just like you said, let’s assume that he is the strongest Astral Plane cultivator to ever exist.
Even then, do you really believe that he can fight with Divine plane cultivators? You are even saying that he would be able to deal such blows to us the clan leaders? You tell me, is any of this believable?”
Magman clan leader gritted his teeth and didn’t know what to say.
He doesn’t know if what he is saying is a complete truth. After all, it is indeed a bit of exaggeration to say that Sam dealt such blows to different clan leaders when they entered the city.
There is a possibility that the other party might have had some background and some people might be acting behind the scenes.
But he wanted to keep those speculations to himself. He decided to insist on this and after some time, the clan leaders went as far as getting a soul contract signed with a clause that the Magman clan leader will only speak the truth.
Only then did they believe what he said and now they are all in a dilemma.
Clan leader 3 looked at the two of them and asked.
“What should we do next?”
“First of all, the immediate task is very simple.” Clan leader 1 said and turned to the Magman clan leader.
“Your task is done, my friend. Time to say goodbye.”
He didn’t hesitate and stabbed his spear straight into the heart of the old man.
The Magman clan leader just died. But right when he was about to breathe his last, he used the last bit of his strength to destroy his own soul.
That is the reason they got the information first. They knew that if they didn’t capture the soul fast enough, he would detonate it.
“Now that that’s out of the way, let’s move to the serious business. We need to assume that Sam is a dangerous opponent and find a way to capture him. If what the Magman clan leader said is the truth apart from the kids, the device he is using to move around is a very valuable treasure. We need to get our hands on it.”
