Sam walked to the estate and when he entered the mansion, he saw a gloomy atmosphere in the hall.
Mackey, Jack, Philip, and Kelly sat there in silence.
All four were beaten and wounded. Watt stood behind Sam while crossing his arms.
Sam walked up to Mackey and asked.
"Have your men been hurt?"
"Some of them, they were in the room to rest."
Mackey pointed to a room as he said this, Sam walked towards the room and examined his injuries.
After making sure that they were fine, he took out some pills and potions that were part of the Black water loot and gave them so that they could recover faster.
Then he entered the hall, as Philip was about to speak, Sam stopped him and said to Mackey.
"Can you go for a minute? I'll talk to you later."
Mackey nodded and left the room. As soon as he entered the room upstairs, he heard a loud bang.
In the hall, Sam kicked Philip the moment Mackey walked into his room.
"Sam, what's wrong?"
Jack shouted and ran towards Sam who was walking towards Philip to block him. But at this point, Watt intervenes and stops Jack.
Sam looked at Philip who hit the wall with a cold look.
As Philip stood up, he moved again and sent him flying again.
Sam did not hold back at all, he attacked as if he were looking at his nemesis. After a few blows…
*BRUAAAAKKK*
Philip made a hole in the wall and was thrown into the formed backyard by clearing a large area of impact crystals.
He slowly stood up as he coughed up blood. His whole body started to hurt.
"Sam, what's wrong with you, why attack Philip?" Jack yells again, he knows that facing Watt is a difficult task and even if he leaves, he's pretty sure he can't stop Sam, but he still couldn't help but ask Sam why he did this.
Kelly was also quite frightened and she did not even dare to breathe harder. For some reason, he could sense that Sam was really angry and if he was bothered by their words again, he might even move on them, she said, which they absolutely cannot refuse.
"Sam, let's talk about this." Philip said weakly as he was finally able to stand up, at this moment a golden fireball flew towards him, blowing it away.
Sam didn't stop, he kept hitting Philip who then kept bouncing around the backyard.
Slowly, Philip began to lose the will to rise. But this only made Sam even more upset. He pulled out a 'Reaper'.
His aura started to explode as he moved towards Philip furiously. He was very disappointed in Philip. This guy is a total coward. What makes him so scared? He was so scared that he didn't even want to show his double element.
Sam felt Philip would show his true colors in the end, but now he was losing his temper.
After all, the competition was getting more troublesome and more effort was also required. Even if it feels easy, they take a lot of time and effort to complete.
He can't be there for the rest of the team and carry on with them.
Hawk, Kelly, Drew. They had limited abilities and they were unable to survive through the next phase of the Dukedom competition and there was a high chance they would be eliminated.
Jack is barely passable. His only skill was combat and he gave away a hundred percent of it.
But Philip, this man is witty, calm, intelligent but he does not want to show his true talent and continues to act like a coward.
And how did Sam conclude without knowing the situation?
Because from what he saw, if the enemy or the person Philip was hiding was really determined to find him and never stop the search, there was a high chance he was already captured by now.
Even if Philip could think of hiding his element in order to hide himself, it would, they would be able to think so as well and if they were really determined enough given the attention this competition gave Philip no matter how inferior he was, he would be caught.
And Sam came to the conclusion that the enemy was strong against a strong background based on the fact that Philip recognized the sand of the silver meteorite rank 2. No ordinary person could obtain it and he could tell that even the emperor had a very limited number if he had one.
But Philip identified it with a quick glance, which suggests that he was much more knowledgeable and that knowledge could not be obtained easily unless those people had access to enough meteorite sand to tell a young boy about it and trained him to identify it.
From what Sam understood, Philip became paranoid and dragged himself down.
Many people might think that Philip was waiting for the right time to unleash his power, but that was just nonsense. A person who keeps avoiding problems, will get used to avoiding them even after facing them.
He did not want Philip to be a coward.
Sam grabbed Philip slowly and looked at him with a cold look full of anger.
He swung the harvester that made a shallow wound in Philip's hand that made him cry out in pain.
He crouched down and whispered.
"You might think, I'll leave you after getting beaten up, but this is the last chance, Philip. If you are still trying to hide then there is no need to hide in the future. Better to stop there than live like this.
I consider you as a friend, the first of my friends in the world. I'm waiting patiently until you open up, but my patience has its limits and you're way beyond that. Today, you will lose that fear or I will lose a friend forever.
You decide. What does it take to open up and stop being a coward? Your team getting blocked is not enough, your teammates getting beaten up is not enough. Is the risk of losing a friend not enough?"
Sam stood up and took a step back.
He looked at Philip who was completely wounded with torn clothes. His eyes were closed as his face showed a conflicted expression.
Sam lost the intention to hit him. He kept his sword and coldly spat with disdain.
"Coward."
Then he turned around and started walking away.
Just as he was about to enter the mansion, he quickly turned around and dodged the fireball. This fireball was a deep red color almost close to the color of blood.
He turned around with the others when they saw the messy Philip standing with two hands shining with blood-colored flames at the end.
Sam grinned and moved, before long there was a blood red flash and a golden flash clashing in the air with a loud bang.
After two minutes Sam stopped as he looked at the fur coat, there was some liquid metal residue on it. He looked at Philip and moved again. Just as the two of them were about to clash, Philip fainted on the spot.
After all, the beating he had done earlier in Sam's hands was not without reason. He is serious about teaching lessons.
Sam carried her and carefully carried her into the mansion. He began to heal her and after making sure her wound healed, he left her to sleep and came out.
He looked at Jack and said.
"It must be difficult for you to face an attack alone, but from tomorrow you won't have to carry the burden alone, he will help you and trust me from what I have seen now, the people who attacked you should have been alarming" Sam said as he looked at the small piece of metal attached to his coat.
Philip's attack was very different and unique in its own way. He used metal elements and fire elements together to create molten metal at the point of impact when he punched and kicked. If not for the meteorite's hard sand and Sam's spiritual energy being extremely pure and concentrated, Philip could have dealt some decent damage.
However, Sam was satisfied that his goal had been achieved. From what he knew about Philip, the man would ignore the topic if Sam made him sit up and talk and Sam did not have much patience and a fluent tongue to handle a man as sharp as Philip.
So, he only dealt a punch to make his words pierce through his thick skull. This way things get resolved much easier. The exchange of the last attack was a form of pact.
Philip will slowly open up and will not run away and Sam who is responsible for this will help him if there is a problem.
Sam's fine with that. He agreed to challenge an organization as big as Black Water for the sake of some metal, for a friend he was fine to help him challenge the world if necessary.
