Chapter 45：Day of the journey (1/2)

After the meeting is ended, Sam walked out of the academy and started walking towards his mansion. But he some people stopped him on his way and the person in the lead happened to be Eisen.

Sam didn't speak and just looked at Eisen with a cold gaze as he raised an eyebrow as if questioning him of the purpose. For some reason Eisen got irritated looking at Sam's nonchalance and said in an arrogant tone.

”You better withdraw from the team.” He just made a statement as if he was ordering his subordinate as he looked down with his height two inches taller than Sam. There are two people behind Eisen and one of them is part of the team and another one who seemed to resemble Eisen a bit, looked at Sam with a gloating smile.

Sam didn't reply anything and just walked around the group staying completely silent.

”Wait.”

”Sam.”

Two shouts came at same time and one of them is Eisen and another one is surprisingly Jack who is running towards them. When Sam looked at Jack and didn't even bother with Eisen, he became angry. Because, he felt that his pride got hurt. He is the champion for the assessment and senior in the Academy and most of all his cultivation level is higher. So, a junior and one without any test is really a thorn in his eyes.

”Let's speak in the mansion.” Sam said to Jack as the latter nodded and both of them started walking.

Seeing the blatant disregard from both of them made Eisen grit his teeth in rage. ”Sam, do you think you are a bigshot. I am also an inscription master and a Formation master and my father is the head of the Formation tower. Even if you have more titles than me, then what of it? I heard that you don't even have a teacher and you are self-taught. How far do you think you can go? You better stop being arrogant and ne humble. In front of me you are nothing.” He said as he released his aura of a Novice stage.

Sam didn't even bother with his words and just kept on walking, but Jack stopped in his tracks and looked at Eisen with a cold glare full of hostility. So, he also had to stop and turned around and patted Jack on shoulder.

”I don't have time to sniff every piece of shit that is on my way. We can just walk around and ignore it.” He said and pulled Jack along as he started walking.

Eisen and the two people behind him immediately had ugly expressions and Eisen had it worst as he saw people looking at him in weird way. He was about blow up, but then he remembered that, he is near the Academy and the heart of the city. So, he forced himself to calm down and gave Sam's retreating back a hateful glare before leaving the place.

After some time. At Sam's Mansion.

Both Sam and Jack were sitting across each other in the living room. Sam has same nonchalant expression on his face, but the coldness toned down a little. Jack seemed to be hesitating about something.

”Are you going to speak or not?” Sam asked as he looked at Jack.

”I need a favour.” Jack said slowly. An expression of unwillingness on his face.

Sam didn't speak and just gave a questioning look and maintained his silence. Looking at him, Jack just took a deep breath and continued.

”I know you don't like doing favours, but I don't have any other choice. Do you have any way to take Shawn along with us to Falcon cliff city?”

”He didn't pass the test. Why did you want him to come?” Sam asked.

”it has something to do with Eisen. Before the final round of the examination, he and his two underlings jumped on me and Shawn to get the spots. But their plan partially failed and I was able to make it safe, but Shawn wasn't that lucky as he got took the first attack in full force. He wasn't even able to participate in the final round.” Jack explained.

”So, Eisen is telling me to back off because he wants another spot and he thinks I am an easy target, since I don't have any background?” Sam muttered to himself. Then he spoke to Jack.

”Even if I can get Sam to join us in journey, how is it going to help? He can't join the team, right?” Sam asked in reply.

”Accidents happen.” Jack replied with a cold tone.

”Sure, just bring him along with you.” Sam smiled and agreed. Jack immediately became relieved and left after he thanked him.
