Chapter 40：Meeting (2/2)

”Harold, what is with the commotion? Why make a big fuss when you come?” Alfred asked with a clearly displeased tone. He didn't address Sam at all. In his view, no matter how much of a genius Sam is, him greeting him first is loss of status, since he is now in higher status. In his mind a Pill master is higher than Artisan. That is why he didn't even budge when saw the rank 3 Scholar Artisan Badge.

Sam just sized up the arrogant and haughty Alfred. He is just like his son. His face will blend in the crowd naturally. Nobody would bother to pick him out of a group. He made his way to the room and looked around. The room has three big green lizards. Sam recognised them in a glance. They are green scale lizards. Each lizard is kept on a table and completely bound by various inscriptions and Articrafts. All three of them are at Level 2 Peak and all of them have their leg severed. Blood dripped from the wound.

Sam looked at the scene and immediately understood what is happening. There are three people standing near each table. They are healers, who are practising healing lessons. Actually, they use these Green scale lizards to practise because, the severed limb will grow as long as they were fed with enough water spiritual energy. All the healers are rank-1 healers. They will make a wound and heal it. They might make some mistakes as the beast level is at the highest of the rank-1 healer could handle and the wound will heal irregularly. They will repeat the process and after the practise is completed, they will sever the spoiled leg and place the lizards inside the water spiritual energy environment and let it heal itself. Even though, they might take a considerable time, the healers didn't care.

When Sam walked towards the bound lizards, he observed as he looked at them. Even though, he is ruthless, he felt that torturing the beasts without any particular enmity is still beneath him. All the healers standing there immediately walked away and stood behind Alfred. They felt their hair stand as they saw Sam's cold gaze.

”Mr. Alfred. I am Sam. I am here today to speak about your son Albert.” Sam said without looking at him at all. He is still looking at the binding articraft chains on the lizards.

As soon as Alfred heard his son, his expression changed and he whispered something in a healer's ear and walked towards Sam.

”What do you have to say?” He asked with a frown.

”Well, your son Albert came to my mansion uninvited a few days ago and then ranted on that he wants me to do this and that for him as protection fee in the school. So, I am here to discuss that.” Sam replied and took a seat in one of the three chairs in the room. ”Please take a seat.” He gestured Alfred to sit which the latter followed.

”Mr. Sam. You seem to be mistaken. I know my son. With your status isn't it beneath you to slander others. Young men nowadays are being spoiled.” Alfred didn't admit. But he couldn't help feel disappointed in heart. He really said the truth and that is he really knew his son and his son would definitely do what Sam had said. But knowing is one thing and admitting is another.

”Dad, are you looking for me?” Suddenly Albert came in and when he looked at Sam, his face brightened and said.

”Are you done with my order?” He didn't even see his father's expression when he said that. He was really enthusiastic when he saw Sam. But he is bound to be disappointed.

Sam looked at Alfred with a hint of mockery and disdain.

”What are you waiting for? Take out the goods.” Albert didn't see the situation and just demanded again. Alfred suddenly wanted to bash his son so hard, that he would lay on the bed for a month. He is now in a spot because of him. His didn't see the bigshots and people and directly trying to extort from a genius.

Suddenly, Sam missed his gun, He really wanted to bury a whole magazine of shots in this Albert's chest at point blank range. He stood up and walked towards one of the Lizards which are tied up and then placed his hand on a binding chain. He looked towards Alfred and spoke.

”Mr. Alfred. I am here because I have something to say. Because, you might find this useful in future.” As he said that the chain he touched suddenly turned into powder and he moved to another chain on the lizard. The spectators are looking at it incredulously. He didn't seem to care and continued.

”You might not know. But I am a person, who advocates Pride and arrogance, because I am quite proud and arrogant myself.

Your son Albert wanted to use his status as a Novice to extort something from me.” As he said this all the bindings on the lizard are in powder state.

”Your son also threatened me using your position as a Pill master. Indeed, the people from the Pharmaceutical tower have higher status in the society. But I know that there are differences in the statuses between the people from the Pharmaceutical tower as well. For example, a healer is high ranked than a Pill master. Isn't right?” Sam said as he placed his hand on the wound of severed leg of lizard. He looked at Alfred and said.

”An advice Mr. Alfred. Your son's arrogance for your status will be just liking healing spell. He can save himself from some people. Just like how they he can heal some wounds just like this.”

As he spoke the golden light started emitting from the hand and in a rapid pace the new leg started growing and with in a few dumbfounding seconds, there is new leg. Sam then patted the lizard's head and then took the severed leg in to his hand.

”But if he is drunk from arrogance from your status excessively. This might happen.”

As he said that, suddenly the leg in his hands turned into a meat paste in his hands. Even the bones were not spared. All the spectators took a step back and felt fearful.

”I came here to tell this today not because, I am afraid of your status or something. I could have dealt with your son with many means. But the you will interfere with your revenge pursuit with unlimited hypocrisy, which I hate to my guts. That is why I am informing you directly. If your son comes to me again. Remember that my cultivation will not stay same all the time.” He said and walked towards the entrance along with the three bigshots and Kelly.

The three bigshots didn't say a thing today, because they just wanted to watch the show and try to help Harold a little to improve his relation with Sam as his main trade is Artisan. But when they looked at Alfred's current expression.....
