Chapter 73：Second Contract (1/2)

Jack finally heaved a sigh and asked Sam. ”What should we do now?”

”Don't ask me. The revenge is yours. I am only here to assist you and for a share in the riches. If you want continue on the revenge, I will help you. If you want to back down, that's it.” Sam replied in a calm tone.

Jack pondered for a few minutes and said. ”Do you have a plan?” Sam smiled at the question and replied.

”After two days, we will meet here and I will tell you the plan. Meanwhile, you go and buy some black clothes, mask and other stuff to disguise ourselves.” Both of them stood up and walked out. When they opened the bedroom door, they saw Kelly standing there holding two cards in her hands. When she saw Jack is also there, her expression became awkward.

Jack was also puzzled over her reaction and looked at her in a confused gaze, not understanding the situation at all. Then Philip who was hiding in a corner came out and said with a scowl on his face.

”Jack, I have something to talk about.” Jack excused himself and walked towards Philip.

”What do you want to talk about?” Jack asked. Philip rolled his eyes and said.

”I never thought you are so dense.” Then he dragged him away. Kelly heaved a sigh of relief and took a look at Sam before handing over one of the invitation cards. Sam took it and opened it while hearing Kelly speak.

”Hawk gave this invitation. There is a banquet in a week at the Count mansion.” Her voice was sweet as always.

”Thank you.” Sam thanked her and looked at her faint smile. He still felt guilty about what happened, so he wasn't able to meet her eye directly. Then Kelly herself spoke first.

”Sam, you said you will do anything to make it up to me right?” Sam was surprised for a second before nodding his head. Then she continued.

”I have something to ask you.” Kelly said as she lowered her head. Then she continued. ”Will you take me as your partner to the banquet?” When Sam heard this, he was stupefied for a second.

Never did he expect that the request Kelly would make will be one like this. She could have asked for anything. After all, Kelly is not dumb enough to not understand Sam's future prospects. She could use this promise to get a lot in the future, but she is asking for him to bring her as a date. He doesn't even know what to say.

”Are you sure Kelly?” Sam asked again.

”Yes.” Kelly replied resolutely.

Sam sighed and said. ”You don't have to use my promise like this. I will still take you as my date for that night. You should use this promise for something better. Who knows, may be in the future, I can even gift the whole empire to you if you ask.” Sam said a little jokingly. Both of them walked downstairs. While Kelly went back to her room and Sam walked out of the mansion.

After a while, he entered Vickers' shop. He saw the middle-aged man with his mischievous expression sitting on a chair at the counter as if he was awaiting his visit.

”Oh, if it isn't my favourite customer.” Vickers said as soon as he saw Sam.

Sam didn't reply and just walked towards the counter. Before Vickers could speak, he said.

”I want the Crystal Bamboo plants.” Sam directly made his request, without making any other statements. He still felt wary of this weird man and he didn't really want to spend time with this guy.

”May, I know why you want them?” Vickers' asked with a grin. He was curious as to what Sam is going to do with them. He is keeping a close eye on Sam since he came to his shop for the first time and he has a vague idea on what Sam's goal is. But he didn't know what Sam is going to do with the Crystal bamboos. But Sam didn't give him the answer and only stayed silent.

”Okay, then. How many do you want?” Vickers resigned to himself that there will be no answer.

”As many as you can get. There is no upper limit. When are they going to be ready?”

”Come back in tomorrow.” Sam immediately left after he got his answer.

He went to the cave and saw that Sky is still undergoing the evolution. Yanwu is watching over Sky, while Watt and Falck are cultivating.

When Sam saw Watt, he was a bit surprised. ”You broke through?” Sam asked but he knew for sure that is the fact.

Watt opened his eyes and looked at Sam with excitement. He immediately stood up and said. ”Yes, boss. I broke-through. I am a Level 1 Acolyte now.” Sam could hear the sense of achievement from Watt's voice. He nodded in satisfaction and said.

”Take a break for today. After Sky's evolution is done, you will stay with me. We are going to leave this cave. As for the martial techniques, you don't have to worry about that. I have some minor tasks to do. After that, I will train you personally. Now, go and buy yourselves some exquisite cloths and have some fun.” Sam said as he passed over a load of spirit stones. Watt took them and left along with Falck.

Sam then brought out the Panther from the Dimension. The panthers are large, that they are at least four times of normal panthers on earth. When they saw Yanwu, they immediately forgot their size and immediately leapt towards him. After playing around for a bit, all of them calmed down.

Sam then started taking measurements of the panthers. Along their legs, necks etc. After he was done with the measurements, he took out a piece of paper and started drawing something.

Time passed, and at night, Watt returned with some food. He was surprised to see two big panthers in the cave, but the surprise vanished after he saw them acting like cute kittens with Sam. Purring and scratching to get Sam's attention.

Two towering beast which are far taller than Sam, acting like that made a really funny scene. That night, Sam spent in the cave. He missed Yanwu a lot as he was busy with all the tournament.
