Chapter 90: Gifts (2/2)
”Sir, we want to withdraw from the special branch. Our students aren't willing and refused to accept the admission.”
”What do you mean?”
”The candidates we selected thought that they are unworthy of this special branch and withdrew themselves. The remaining candidates are also unwilling to take the positions.”
When the city lords said this, Marquis Blue flame was completely dumbfounded. He didn't even know what to think of this situation.
”Did someone threaten you to say this?” He asked as he felt the whole situation is confusing.
”No, sir. The candidates are the ones who really thought this way. Nobody threatened us. We are here to apologise personally. Sir marquis is magnanimous and gave us this offer. But the candidates are too mediocre and they themselves felt unworthy of this opportunity. This is the reason, we are here.” As they said this, both city lords stood up.
They left the room with their heads held low. When they exited the Marquis mansion, they saw Zeke who gave them a nod which they replied the same.
The Marquis is still thinking what is happening and he ordered an attendant come over and asked him to bring the ranking list of the assessment.
The Marquis city selected twenty candidates in total. This is a special privilege for them. But he didn't check the top 20 spots, instead he looked over the names after the twenty spots. When he saw Zeke's name at the twenty-first spot, and his remaining lackeys' names below his, he felt that something is fishy and sent someone to investigate this.
After confirming that the City lords did what they were told, Zeke went to the Rich zone. He wants to meet the new Scholar Artisan, but when he went near the mansion, there are already a lot of people waiting there and all of them are the noble children. There are five noble families with Count rank in the Blue flame city.
All these families who got the news about the commotion and got the news that the artisan is extremely young sent their children to interact with them.
But Watt is standing at the entrance and didn't allow entry to anyone. Sam said clearly that he is busy and didn't want to be disturbed.
When they heard this, all of them are unhappy but they didn't dare to make a scene here.
Just then Zeke came to entrance and spoke to Watt. ”I want to speak to your master. Tell him that the eldest son of the Marquis is here.” He said as if his status should immediately get him the authorization to meet him.
But Watt didn't move to report but gave him an weird look and said. ”My Boss already said, that you would come and visit him, he left a message for you.”
When the crowd heard this they felt that Zeke has some relation with the Artisan, but next words of Watt made them laugh.
”It is not your turn to meet my boss yet. Your number hasn't come yet and when it came, even if you don't want to meet him, you wouldn't be able to avoid it.” When Zeke heard this, he was quite puzzled.
”What do you mean?”
”Oh, didn't you see the gift my boss left you today? There is a number printed on the back of the gift. You can check it yourselves.”
This time Zeke clearly understood and immediately grit his teeth in anger. The crowd also remembered the incident that is spreading over the city and understood immediately. The Artisan seemed to target the guy because of Zeke.
Zeke immediately got furious and grabbed Watt by his collar. But his lackeys immediately held him back.
Watt's face became cold.
”You just made your situation worse. There is another message which my boss asked me to pass to you, if you did anything funny and you indeed didn't disappoint him.” He adjusted his collar to normal and said.
”You will get an extra gift today, you just have to wait.” After that walked into the mansion to report to Sam.
Right now, Sam is inside the divine dimension and made a pit in the fire region.
Inside the pit, he dumped a lot of dung of the Blazing earth bull as well as the faeces of Yanwu.
He wanted to experiment and see, if he will get a gas similar to the methane. And if he could really get the gas, he wants to see how good would that be.
He closed the pit with a big wooden plank and went out.
Watt is waiting for him, when he heard what happened, he only smiled and didn't say anything. He just walked to the backyard of the mansion and went out through the back door. But this time, he didn't use his hover board. Because, he wants to make the people in front of his mansion think that he never left the mansion.
After Sam left the place, he went to the business zone, and inquired about Zeke's shop.
The shop is actually quite big and is divided into various zones. Each zone is quite big and is divided by the types of weapons that are exhibited.
It is more like a supermarket. Each zone has a supervisor looking after. And Sam recognised two of them.
They are the two lackeys who followed him to the Falcon Cliff city.
Sam didn't make his move directly and just waited there in place. After some time, when one of the lackeys went to take a break, he followed him discreetly and the lackey didn't go back to the shop.
Seeing this another supervisor went to find him, and he too disappeared. They are in the initial stages of Novice and Sam isn't least bit afraid to face them one on one. His speciality is fighting someone of higher level. He can face them head on if he wants to, much less sneaking up on them right now, is too easy.
The next time, two supervisors came to check, and the Sam's second target is one of them. All the time, he made his moves discreetly. After abducting the two targets and putting them in the divine dimension, he went back to the mansion in the same way.
The people who tried to get an appointment with him didn't know this, including Zeke and it is already too late, when he finally realized.
