Chapter 113: Plotting against the gangs (1/2)

”Idiot.”

Sam scolded himself as he stood at the beach. He looked at the vast sea and scolded himself again.

”I am really an idiot.”

Why is he calling himself an idiot again and again? Because, he felt that he limited his thoughts completely for the past two weeks.

These past two weeks, he was filled with confusion on what type of herb that gave the drug those effects, he limited his thoughts completely to the herbs and searched the woods frantically.

So, he is a little bit angry at himself.

Because, the herbs aren't the only ones which can be used in the pills and the woods aren't the only source for the ingredients in the red coral city.

The red coral city is a coastal city and there are number of resources in the sea. That might include some of the fish or any water bound creature which produce certain toxins.

Now, he has to find out what kind of creatures are there in the nearby waters and he can find out what he can do with it.

So, he went to the most prosperous sea creature's business in the city. There, he took a look at the catalogue of the creatures they can catch in the nearby waters, when he saw the list, he couldn't help but smile.

Just from a glance he could see which are these can be used to produce the effects of the drugs. There are no more than three possibilities and it is not even that difficult to find out which of it is.

Sam ordered some fish that will be good to eat and some other creatures to act as decoy along with the creatures he suspected to be a part of it.

That is because, he has suspicions that this business is related to the Black water and he might leave some clues like before.

Next day, the creatures came and Sam took the parcel to the inn and immediately entered the divine dimension.

In the second floor, he and the ape sat side by side and he started keeping the herbs inside the cauldron and took out the first beast he is suspicious of, the Emerald jelly fish. The tentacles of this jelly fish have some kind of toxin that will give some illusions to the victim.

He heated them all together, even though he didn't have the recipe for the drug and don't know the right amount he has to use, he doesn't need the pill anyway, all he need is the confirmation on which ingredients they are using and the ape can smell if the composition is nearer to the drug.

And soon, Sam performed some experiments and finally got the answer he wanted.

Two creatures are responsible for the affects. One of them is the emerald jelly fish and Purple ink squid. Of the two, the first one is responsible for the illusions and the second one is for knocking them out.

They are controlling the dosage and the proportions of the two toxins in order to function like that.

Sam now went into a deep thought. He wants to create a large-scale conflict between the two gangs so that they will be more active and the lower rank members will be at each other's throats, before the upper-echelons could intervene.

By the time they intervene, Sam can easily find out the two officials and after they are in the bag, he will use his authority and use the Count to take the gangs down without raising the suspicions of the Black water that he is involved.

He can seal off the info that he is here with his authority, But the info will be leaked if the two officials are still in duty.

So, Sam is now thinking on how to use these drugs, so he went into the tower's library to search on the info on the toxins.

After more than a day, he found out something interesting.

That night, Sam stealthily moved towards the sea and took out his hover board and surfed over the waters. With the thrust capacity, floating over water is not a problem at all.

Sam went along the coast line and when he reached a more secluded area filled with reefs, he took out some type of special herbal powder and dropped it over the still water, soon a fish similar to koi, floated as it gobbled on the small amounts of herbal powder that it even ignored Sam.

So, an easy catch.

After catching some, he went to another spot and caught another batch of fish.

Sam caught a bunch of fish and went back to the inn.
