Chapter 130: Two Goals (1/2)

Sam and Watt are sitting beside each other in Sam's restaurant's private room. The table was full of food.

Across them, there are three people who are stuffing their faces as if the food is going to run away.

”Nick, stop snatching my dishes. Eat yours.” Brad who made a move against Watt, yelled angrily.

He is completely different from his 'arrogant subordinate' he was earlier and the thing is he is not a subordinate. The three people are close friends.

After completely emptying the dishes, then only the three of them stopped.

”Hah, Sam the food is so delicious and they even have such spiritual energy. Even though it is little, it is still good. Damn it is even more delicious than the food made by the chef of the Duke palace.”

Nicholas said as he patted his bloated stomach.

Sam didn't say anything and just smiled.

He didn't have any aversion towards Nicholas and that is very rare, since they just met yesterday.

The main reason, the people like Nicholas are honest and straight forward. He could even find his happiness just by battling all day. One can trust them easily because, they don't expect much from others and they don't like to play schemes.

Even if they want to do something to you, they will do thinks in a straight forward and a proud manner, even if the opponent is many times stronger.

”Sam, the rumours aren't untrue, you really are a great fighter, but your cultivation is too low for now to fight an all-out battle, but from your speed, you won't take long to catch up and then we can battle to our heart's content.” Nicholas said with a grin.

”We will definitely have an all-out battle. But next time, don't try to play these tricks, you suck at them greatly.” Sam said as he looked at that grin.

”Hahaha, Nick I already told you, this will not work, you didn't listen at all. See, you are busted.” Brad said from the side only to get a slap on the back of his head.

”Anyway, don't you have anyone to fight with in the Dukedom capital? Why do you have to come all the way here, just to fight with a low-level cultivator?” Sam asked curiously.

Sam didn't think, that Dukedom capital lacks fighters. Nicholas can fight a person each day without repeating for more than one year.

Even if there are no youngsters, he could fight with people of different age-groups with same cultivation level.

”It's not that he doesn't want to fight, but nobody dares to. Some are afraid of his status and some are afraid of his strength. He even kicked the assess of the city guards and even the soldiers with same cultivation level as him in the army under the Duke.

Where do you think, he got the name battle maniac? After he defeated all his peers in the academy, nobody in the city dared to fight him because, his way of fighting like there is no tomorrow is crushing their confidence.

After that, he went to the army and then to other Dukedom capitals to challenge other Junior Dukes.

Since, he became an acolyte, he started challenging like crazy and all the nobility started calling him Battle maniac Nick.”

Brad spoke in a single breath; his proud grin was clearly saying that he is bragging about his friend.

”You sure wrecked some havoc.” Sam said as he looked at Nicholas' face.

”What do you know, once a Junior duke didn't accept his challenge, so he disguised himself as a bandit and attacked him when he is hunting. He is only a Novice then, his father locked him up in the room and spanked his ass so much that a Level 4 healer was needed to reduce the swelling.” Again, Brad went on with rambling.

This time, Nicholas' face turned black as he looked at his friend's face with a very 'kind' smile.

”Brad, aren't you tired of talking?”

But the poor guy didn't notice the 'kind smile' and continued his rambling.

”When he was about to go and challenge the Princes from the imperial capital, his father threw him in the dungeon.”

”Pfft” Sam couldn't control it this time. And he is not the only one, Nicholas also lost control and kicked Brad. He was launched through the walls and landed in the hall.

”You are paying for that.” Sam said as he looked at Nicholas.

After Nicholas went back to his city, Sam went back to his mansion to get ready to his operation against the small gang.

At night, three people sneakily left the mansion as they slowly entered the slums.

Sam didn't plan to deal with the small fries. He directly kept the leader as his target.

And the target is in his hidden base within the slums.

Three of them moved towards the most isolated and run-down house of the slums. There are no houses or any other settlements near that house and nobody knew why this house is still there, but no one bothered to learn about it.

Right now, under that house were three floors and within the deepest floors a man is lying on his bed with a naked woman.

Sam felt that the situation in this city is even more complicated than he predicted as even a small-time gang boss is also using an underground hide out.

There are not many people in the first two floors. The first floor, has some women, who are in a ragged state and the second floor have some guys who are drinking and chattering.

This small-time boss is in charge of prostitution is the Normal people zone of the City, from the report of shadow mice he learnt that these people kidnap the women from the villages under the marquis territory.

But Sam was surprised that they don't have much security, he didn't think too much though. The Boss of the gang seemed to be confident in the hiding of his base.

It is indeed so, who would guess that there is a prostitution ring leader staying below a rundown house in slums.

There aren't many people inside the hideout, at most there are only ten people but all of them are Novice Late stage.

But Sam didn't take it any lightly, he took out the grenades he specially made. At first site, they are just like any calming grenade he made, but these are some upgraded version of that and contain a hint of highly diluted Indigo water. [This is not the Hydra poison in the pool, but the water from the Indigo Patch.]
