Chapter 120: Suspicion (2/2)

They even learnt that the previous count, the current Count's father is also same and they lived same.

Some people after getting stronger will leave the place, but the commoners don't have that chance and the cultivators who are strong enough will not be messed with.

The only people who have better lives are some cultivators who act as mercenaries and hunters who sell their hunt. The external traders will also go through some terrible plight if they want to do business here.

Only big dogs like Golden horse trading and some other trading companies can survive peacefully, even they didn't have much profit in this god-forsaken city.

After two days, they still kept on roaming around the city while investigation.

Sam is still inside the inn, after he recovered his physical state, he became better, but his mental state was still in a mess.

Yanwu and Sky formed an energy link as well as consciousness link in order to make a breakthrough as well as sooth his mental frustration.

He didn't know what is happening with his teammates and didn't know the situation of the city.

Because, when the city was in this state, the reason will not be simply the laziness of the officials, but also their involvement in the crimes.

But the teammates failed to think about it. They felt that the shadow mice will bring them the news if and they can confirm it.

At this moment inside the count mansion, Meeting hall.

”Father, I am pretty sure that they are candidates from the Special branch.”

A young man said who sat on the seat beside the head seat.

”Then why do you think they are here?”

”I heard that they are given a mission, but we don't know what that mission is.” The young man replied.

If Sam and his teammates saw this young man, they might recognise him. Because, he is also a candidate who participated in the first phase of the competition and he is also part of the group who surrounded Sam.

He gave up in the middle and didn't manage to stay till the first phase is completed.

”I stayed back in the marquis city only to learn of their mission, but the details are tightly sealed and no one from my friends made it to the next phase. But I think there is one more person who is missing and he is the leader of this group.

He is also a rank 5 scholar artisan, he has quite a big business in Blue flame city. The most famous weapon shop and the most famous restaurant shop are his. He would have a lot of possessions on him.” The young man said with a greedy light.

”Oh, do you have some problem with him?”The middle-aged man who is also count of the city asked. He knew his son too well.

”You could say that. But I am not lying to you about him, he is really rich” Obviously, he is not willing to swallow the warning Sam gave him. Count cougar thought for a second and looked at another middle-aged man who is standing beside him.

”Keep an eye on them and find out if that guy is here with them.”

The middle-aged nodded his head and left the place.

After the man left, the young man asked.

”Father, did you find the candidate for your ritual. Time is running out. If you don't do this early, your cultivation will drop.”

”I didn't. I am also getting anxious over it. Too bad, even after killing half of the clan for that girl, that girl turned out to be not suitable. Damn it, I even risked my life by killing your grandfather just to take over the authority and killed half of the family just to finish the last step. Just thinking about it is making me angry.”

If someone heard this, they might even feel the viciousness of father-son duo as madness and the sharp crazy light inside their eyes didn't help to give a good impression.

The middle-aged man who left them already knew what they might be talking about and he didn't mind that at all.

He just left the place like nothing happened.

At this moment, Watt and the remaining people didn't know that they were targeted by the Count even before they found a problem with him.

They are still actively investigating, completely focussed on their jobs.

Sam, is still completely oblivious to what is happening and is still cultivating. He is trying to break through the late stage of Novice and he is on verge of success.
