Chapter 94: Threat (2/2)
I am here to today, not to make peace with you. But I am here to tell you that I will be paying back everything your son gave me. I am going to destroy everything that gave him confidence, that he can do anything to me and walk away.
Regarding this, there is no way for me to compromise. I will achieve my goal even if you the marquis himself gets involved with this.” Sam paused to see the reaction of Marquis.
The dark expression on the latter's face satisfied him and continued.
”For now, only your son and his lackeys are my targets and I will be playing with them. But if anyone else gets involves in this for example, the city guards then the entire troop of the city guards will be included, if one noble child like your son steps in, his whole family will be included and..” He paused a bit and looked at Marquis straight in the eyes and said.
”…If you get involved in this, the entire city will also be included. You won't want to harm the lives of all the citizens, will you?” Sam asked as if he was speaking about something insignificant.
The three remaining people were stunned. Sam is threatening the marquis directly that he will take it out on the citizens if marquis gets involved. A Novice level young man is threatening a Grand realm marquis in the marquis mansion itself.
But for some reason, they felt that the other party might really do what he said. Without waiting for the reply, Sam stood up and said.
”I will be waiting for your letter. If I don't get the letter by tomorrow, I will take that you want to get involved.” He signalled to Chaya and both of them turned around and left the room.
Marquis just sat there in deep thought. Beside him, Zeke didn't even dare to look at his father.
”Sam, don't you think you went overboard? You just threatened the marquis in his own territory.”
Sam just chuckled and replied. ”This being his territory is his biggest disadvantage. I am a lone wolf now. I can do whatever I want as long as I don't get caught. If push comes to shove, I can just escape this place and come back later to take revenge. But he doesn't have that option. He has to answer the emperor himself if he let his territory.”
Chaya thought for a moment and felt that what Sam said is right, but she still felt that Sam should tone down his attitude and said.
”I think with your attitude, you will the whole world your enemies. You should give some leeway and solve problems peacefully whenever possible.” She advised him out of good will. But Sam's reply stunned her.
”I don't want any compromises in my life. No matter how big the enemy is, even if it is a single individual or the whole city, the whole empire or the whole world, the only difference to me is the amount of effort I need to spend to destroy them.
She halted her foot steps and looked at Sam's back who is walking ahead. She suddenly felt that Sam's form is towering over the world.
How bold and arrogant a person should be to make a statement like that.
After separating, Sam took out his hoverboard and went to the business zone. He stopped at Zeke's shop and looked at the closed doors. It is already night and most weapon shops will call it day by this time, only some restaurants will be opened.
Sam took out a normal spirit stone. He closed his eyes and destabilised the spirit stone before throwing it into the shop through a window. He immediately increased the thrust of the hoverboard to maximum and reached a height of 20 feet in the air and went towards his mansion in full speed.
Next day, the news of the explosion spread all over the city. The explosion is in marquis' son's shop after all.
This time, Marquis himself came to see, what happened. The place of explosion is very peculiar.
When he entered the shop all he could see was a circular area in which everything turned into powder. The armours, swords, every other material was completely disintegrated into powder, the spiritual energy in the area is also still a bit unstable.
He didn't even know what has caused the explosion, but he knew who did this. Sam is making a statement.
If Sam was to use this method of explosion in between a group of people, the results will be disastrous. He immediately came to decision and that is he will not interfere between his son and Sam. Unless, Sam wants to kill his son, he would completely turn a blind eye.
Zeke is also looking at the explosion area. He received a different message from the explosion and that is, he shouldn't make any dirty moves to get one over Sam, if he did that, the other party can also do so, and the result is even more efficient for him. He can only play along the game Sam is playing and follow the rules set by the other party.
He is now already regretting going after Sam. His lackeys are second guessing about following him. His father also might not interfere and now the business he built is also under attack. He suddenly felt so suffocated.
