Sam and Watt were sitting next to each other in the private room of Sam's restaurant. The table was full of food.
Across them, there were three people cramming their faces as if food was about to escape.
"Nick, stop taking my plate. Eat yours." Brad who was moving against Watt shouted furiously.
He was completely different from the previous 'conceited submissive' and the problem was that he was not a subordinate. The three people were close friends.
After completely emptying the dishes, then only the three of them stopped.
"Hah, Sam's food is very good and they even have such spiritual energy. Even a little, still good. Damn, it was even tastier than the food made by the Duke's palace chef."
nicholas said as he patted his distended stomach.
Sam said nothing and smiled.
He had no hatred towards Nicholas and it was very rare, as they had only met yesterday.
The main reason, people like Nicholas are honest and straight forward people. He could even find his happiness just by fighting all day. One can trust them easily because they do not expect much from others and they do not like to play schemes.
Even if they wanted to do something to you, they would think straight ahead and with pride, even if the opponent was many times stronger.
"Sam, those rumors are not true, you are truly a great fighter, but your cultivation is too low for the time being to fight it out, but from your speed, it is, you won't take long to catch up and then we can fight to our hearts' content." Nicholas said with a smile.
"We will definitely fight it out. But next time, don't try to play this trick, you suck." Sam said while looking at that smile.
"Hahaha, Nick, I told you, it's not going to work, you're not listening at all. Look, you got caught." Brad said from the side just to get a slap on the back of his head.
"By the way, do you not have anyone to fight in the capital of the Dukedom? Why did you have to come all the way here just to fight with a low-level cultivator?" asked Sam curiously.
Sam did not expect that the capital of the Dukedom was short of fighters. Nicholas can fight someone every day without repeating it for more than a year.
Even if there was no youngster, he could fight with people of different age groups with the same cultivation level.
“Not that he wouldn't fight, but no one would dare. There were those who were afraid of his status and there were also those who were afraid of his strength. He even kicked the appraisal of the city guards and even the soldiers with the same level of cultivation as him in the army under the Duke.
Where do you think he got the name battle maniac? After he had defeated all his comrades in the academy, no one in the city dared to fight him because of the way he fought like there was no tomorrow, destroying their confidence.
After that, he went to the army and then to the other Dukedom capitals to challenge the other Junior Duke.
Ever since he became an acolyte, he started challenging like crazy and all the nobles started calling him Battle maniac Nick."
Brad spoke in one breath; his proud grin clearly said that he was bragging about his friend.
"You really made a mess" Sam said as he looked at Nicholas' face.
“Do you, once upon a time a Junior Duke did not accept his challenge, so he disguised himself as a bandit and attacked him while he was hunting. He was just a Novice back then, his father locked him in the room and beat him up. Donkey so a Level 4 healer was needed to reduce the swelling." Once again, Brad went on with a prattle.
This time, Nicholas' face turned black as he looked at his friend's face with a very 'good' smile'.
"Brad, aren't you tired of talking?"
But the poor man did not notice that 'friendly smile' and continued to babble.
"When he was about to go and challenge the Princes of the imperial capital, his father threw him into the basement."
"Pfft" Sam can't control it this time. And he's not the only one, Nicholas also lost control and kicked Brad. He launched through the wall and landed in the hall.
"You paid for it" Sam said as he looked at Nicholas.
After Nicholas returns to his town, Sam returns to his mansion to get ready for an operation against the small gang.
At night, three people quietly left the mansion as they slowly entered the slums.
Sam had no plans to deal with the small fries. He immediately made the leader his target.
And the target is at his base hidden in the slums.
Three of them moved towards the most remote and seedy rundown house. There were no houses or other settlements near the house and no one knew why this house still existed, but no one cared to learn about it.
Currently, under the house were three basement floors and on the deepest floor a man was lying on his bed with a naked woman.
Sam felt that the situation in this city was even more complicated than he had predicted since even the small gang bosses were also using underground hideouts.
There were not many people on the first two floors. The first floor, had several women, who were in tatters and the second floor had several men who were drinking and chatting.
The little boss in charge of this prostitution is the Normal people zone of the City, from the shadowy rat report he learns that these men kidnapped women from the villages under the marquis territory.
But Sam is surprised that they don't have much security, he doesn't think too much. The gang boss seems confident in his base hideout.
Indeed, who would have thought there was a prostitution network leader who stayed under a slum in a slum.
There were not many people inside the hiding place, at most there were only ten people but all of them were Late stage Beginners.
But Sam did not take it lightly, he took out a grenade that he made specially. On the first site, they were just like the tranquilizing grenades he had made, but these were some upgraded versions and contained a small amount of highly diluted Indigo water. [It's not Hydra's poison in the pond, but the water from the Indigo Patch.]
The women were not in a condition to speak, so they did not even make a sound when the guards were knocked out
Sam took out a shadow mouse that went to the second floor and activated the grenade that Sam had taken earlier.
After more than ten minutes, the ten people in the room had difficulty breathing and their lungs rusted.
The corrosion is light.
Before they could make a big enough fuss, the three of them came in and started dropping them.
After a few minutes, the three of them quietly descended into the underground third floor where the team leader was busy having fun.
But just as they were about to unlock the door.
"Who is this?"
The man shouted towards the door. He seemed to be more alert than Sam thought.
Sam and the three of them did not answer and just stayed there.
Sam looked at the door as he concentrated his much stronger spiritual senses than the opponent and tried to look for energy fluctuations within the door.
The other party seemed to be a warrior as he quickly dressed up and picked up the sword as he walked towards the door.
Just when he was a few feet away from the door.
Sam took out a metal card and immediately threw it.
The card makes a small gap in the door and directly pokes into the opponent. The gang leader was shocked when he saw the card that was thrust onto his shoulder.
"Now."
As soon as Sam shouted, the three of them entered the room.
Jack and Watt attack the woman, while Sam immediately swings his sword making use of the distraction.
The leader hurriedly blocked the attack but due to his poor preparation, the sword cut through the sword and left a deep slash on his chest.
Sam did not stop and took advantage of this situation and took a small glass capsule.
He broke the tip and immediately threw the liquid into the leader's wound.
"AHHH."
Everything happened in an instant and the leader immediately felt something damaging to his wounded flesh.
Sam put a sword on his neck and said.
"All I need is some answers and I'll let you go. Otherwise I'll throw you out and find another target."
Jack and Watt also came and stood beside him.
"I will answer. I'll answer."
And immediately Sam began to ask his question and the leader answered him hastily, because he could feel something was wrong with his wound and the bleeding did not stop either.
After an hour, Sam leaves with Jack and Watt. But all the gangsters got killed.
After all, if they left it alone they would only invite trouble.
Sam had a confused expression on his face.
Because from what the leader said, there were no big gangs in the city. All regions were divided and the most important thing was, he was not even the boss of this business.
The boss was someone else and what was even more surprising was that he did not even know who that person was and what he looked like. All he said was that the person was wearing a mask that could not be seen at all.
They only met in one place every month at the base and even his subordinates did not know about this.
In conclusion, the leader has no contact with the other gangs because, there is a strict rule that no two gangs are allowed to meet and have conflicts and this rule is set by the hidden experts of the Normal zone.
This Hidden Expert is called a Master and there are Four Lords in the city.
Normal people zone Lord.
The rich man zone
The Noble Zone of God and
The ruler of the business zone
So, Sam has two goals, one is to meet the Hidden boss of this gang and the Ruler of the zone.
