"I'm sorry Stella; I should have done this sooner."
Sam muttered in his sleep as tears flowed in his closed eyes. When she felt something rub against her chest, she was dragged out of her dream.
Sam woke up groggy. When he looked around, he saw all the blood, gore and slaughter he had made.
He fainted for more than three hours.
As he moved, he could feel the gentle fur of the ape and the ape's arms resting on his chest as if trying to comfort him. It was as if he could feel Sam's sad emotions and comfort him.
Even Yanwu and Sky rubbed their heads at him.
Sam quickly took a tear-stained face wash. No matter how fragile he was, he would never let the world know about it, there were only a select few who could see him in that state and except for these three beasts, there were only a select few who could see him in that state, no one in this world is qualified yet.
Sam stand. His wounds had already been peeled off and his spiritual energy was quite recovered.
He healed himself as he simultaneously looked into the courtyard. His teammates stood some distance away waiting for him.
When they saw that he was fine and stood up, their mood was also bright. When Sam fell unconscious, they wanted to check on him, but the three beasts did not let them approach him.
In particular the apes became very protective, even hugging Sam and giving them an aggressive look.
In fact, the ape actually got closer to Sam after seeing him exert himself to that extent when activating the bloodline.
He was the only one who saw how much pressure Sam was under and even though he was recovering physically, his mental state was still somewhat sensitive.
That was why, if a teammate really came and examined him while he was injured, due to the long battle and killing, Sam would probably attack instinctively.
If not for the close feeling and familiar presence of his beasts, which he would have trusted unconditionally, he would have attacked them as well.
After a while, Sam saw two swords placed near his feet, he picked them up and after checking for a bit, storing them away, he had other plans for it.
The wound is completely gone, but the marks are still there. His entire naked upper body was covered in scars.
It's not that he can't heal her, but Sam doesn't like to heal her scars. Even in his previous life, when medical technology could remove scars, he still kept them. Because every scar is a reminder to him and it is a lesson from the past.
Even if one person does not like the past, they should still appreciate the lessons he or she teaches them.
So with that in mind, he never removed his scar and he would not remove it now.
He slowly walked towards the exit, at this moment he did not want to speak. He even left behind the rest of the corpses and his staff that was tied up by the Count just like that.
He deliberately left his golden scepter in this place and also left behind such a corpse.
This place would be a grave and his staff should be a symbol of the grave that he would leave behind as a reminder.
Although he knew that the person who knew this would probably erase that thought, Sam had to think of a way to avoid greater danger.
At the top of society, people who made the rules of society but were not bound by it under normal circumstances, will now have Sam under their radar.
Being at the top of the pyramid, they don't want their position to be shaken and they want to put pressure on people who are able to do it.
Now, they will begin to examine whether Sam has that much potential and ambition to do so.
But Sam has a plan. All he had to do was make his name known across the country and he was confident he could use that and play it. And how he can do it is a story for another day.
Right now, Sam wanted to have some time of peace, so after moving his stiffened body a little, he picked up the Mark and prepared to make a move.
"Bos.”
Just before he could do it, Watt ran up to him and helped him put on his fur coat. Sam only gave him a faint smile and immediately moved; the three beasts immediately followed.
After a while, Sam notices that no one is on the streets and even the beach is empty. He landed on the beach and put away his hoverboard before he lay in the sand.
He looked at the clear sky as he tried to clear his mind. He finally felt peace.
But the rest of the city is not peaceful and that includes teammate Sam.
Watt became a good subordinate, immediately going to all the corpses and collecting spatial rings and weapons.
When he took the ring from the Count's corpse and examined it, he was quite confused.
Since he saw something familiar within the spatial ring, then he immediately called out to Jack and showed it.
It's like loot from the Black Water organization.
They started looking for scrolls and when they found some monthly reports, they got some surprising information.
The Cougar family itself is a branch of the Black water organization in the city. It had started from the previous Count and it seemed that the current Count had just taken over recently.
The two immediately wanted to share the news with Sam, but when they thought of his condition, they ignored the idea for now.
The teammates immediately returned to the inn, as Sam was fine and they also had to look for a healer to check on Jasmine's condition which showed no signs of waking up. He seems to be under the influence of drugs and still sleeping.
At the same time, all the major happenings in the city became frenzied, news even spreading to the Blue fire city.
Although communication tokens had minimal reach, some big shots were like tower heads from various professions and even Counts and high ranking nobles, and even the Headmaster of the academy had a way to contact the Marquis city.
At this moment, they were doing this right now and all the noble families, Chaya, the marquis, the principal of the academy all received the news.
The Count of Cougar city kidnaps teammate Sam for a reason and in retaliation, he goes to the residence and is alone, slaughtering the entire Cougar family and their subordinates and forging two blades of their blood iron.
The marquis had a headache because he did not know what to think. The first thought that came to his mind was this was an absolute joke, but when he recalled the cold eyes, the emotionless face and the aura of superiority of the young man who even dared to threaten him the territory ruler in his own residence, he said, make him think otherwise.
Two days after the incident, Sam finally interacted with his teammate, Jasmine also woke up a long time ago, but she was still scared.
When Sam read the entire information from the Count's spatial ring, he was a little surprised but it was only a little.
Sam would be surprised, if the other party had nothing to do with these shady things.
After confirming that their mission had been completed, they immediately began the journey back to the Blue fire city.
Cougar is the closest city to Blue Fire. That's why, they made it as the last target, so that they can return quickly.
So they arrived at Blue Fire City after five days on the Golden Horse Trading company train.
Once they arrive in town, Sam takes Jasmine and goes to the Artisan tower to meet Chaya, the rest of the group returning to the Mansion that Mackey is guarding.
"Set up a meeting with Maya." asked Sam as soon as he saw Chaya.
Chaya was stunned as soon as she saw him. All the upper echelons in the Blue fire city knew of the news. He was shocked when he heard the news and did not even know what to think about it.
Then he remembered the sentence, Sam said viciously to him earlier.
Measuring his enemies was not with the threat they could create for him, but rather with the effort he needed to destroy them. He just thought he was a bit arrogant back then.
But after learning of the incident, he had no idea what he should do except believe it.
But he understood one thing, a person like Sam if he was an enemy, he would have to be killed in one quick move, if he was even given an extra chance, they would be destroyed.
After a while, Maya comes to the tower in a hurry.
Jasmine immediately hugged him and started crying.
Sam didn't see her crying after the incident, she really showed a strong attitude.
"Pull him out of the next competition. He's like a kid and let him live like that doing whatever he likes. Don't destroy him by forcing him into this hole." Sam said very seriously.
At first, the agreement between them was only to treat Jasmine in a terrible condition and give her some advice, but after getting to know her a little, she could not help but protect her.
He did not let her do anything, because, behind the beautiful woman was a little child hidden away.
Sam looked at the world with reckoning and cynicism, the only exceptions being children, little children who were completely innocent.
Now, although Jasmine was not a child by age, she was still a child. So, he did not want to let her enter the cruel side of society.
"It's not that easy." Chaya said slowly.
Although he did not give any explanation, he already had some speculation. When he heard from the Marquis earlier, he already had some thoughts.
After saying goodbye, Sam returned to his mansion only to receive a call from the Marquis.
Even if the other party hadn't called him, he already had plans to meet him. So, leaving the team alone he went to the Marquis' house, but there was a Katana hanging on his Waist.
