Chapter 143: General Spark (2/2)

Okay we are way off topic, back to the room.

The General ignored everyone as he talked with his grandsons and then looked at the group. He seemed to be searching for someone and his gaze has lingered on Sam for a tad bit longer.

After that, he looked at Marquis and asked.

”Why is there an extra person?”

”He is not a candidate, but he is a subordinate of someone.”

The General frowned immediately and looked to be in displeasure.

”Whose subordinate, is he?”

Marquis pointed at Sam.

General looked at Sam and said.

”This is not your home and you cannot bring the subordinates here. This place is for the participants who doesn't have living arrangements made in the city. This is a gesture from Duke to make it convenient for you, not to let you free load by bringing extra baggage.”

Sam raised an eyebrow and looked at the General with a cold look. When he looked at Zeke's mixed emotional face and Blue fire's gloating face and finally Marquis' anxious face, he knew that this guy must be targeting him on purpose.

The message from the first wife surely arrived and this general is really taking it out on him. After all, if this is a rule, Marquis must not have missed such an obvious one.

”So, that means we can stay in the city if we have our own arrangements?” Sam asked without replying for the earlier statement.

”Do so if you can. But you cannot bring your subordinate here.” He said those words and ignored him before turning towards Marquis.

”The tests and other related matters will be announced tomorrow; you can roam around the city as you wish but you have to gather in the estate by dawn.”

He then looked at Sam and said.

”Send him out immediately or you can get out with him.”

Sam didn't say anything and took out his harbinger, Watt followed suit as he took out his board. There is a string of letters etched on the side. Silver Wind.

Since, Sam is not got at naming he asked Watt to do it himself.

Sam didn't even look at the Marquis as he spoke.

”Contact me with communication token if anything comes up.”

Then with the air whistling, Sam and Watt left the place in speed of wind.

”Damn it, he might be buying another house.” Philip said under his breath, but everyone clearly heard it even the General.

”Humph, not any tom, dick and Harry can afford a place here.” He snorted and gestured Marquis to talk in private.

But Marquis, Jack, Philip even Kelly and Hawk are shaking their heads.

Its true not any Tom, Dick and Harry can buy a place, but is Sam any Tom Dick and Harry.

He is SAM, when has he ever failed in getting what he wants.

But the general didn't think much of their thoughts.

Even though, he was stunned by the hovering boards, he only thought that Sam and Watt would be finding an Inn.

He took a communication token and said.

”Mark two guys who are moving on some floating objects, follow them and let all the inns and restaurants know that he cannot be taken as a customer, if he was to dine or stay in any of these establishments, I will hold you responsible.”

He didn't even wait for other party's answer and turned the token off. But Marquis was stunned.

General looked at him and said.

”Do you have something to say regarding my second grandson?” His voice was solemn.

”I have nothing to say. He is executed because he did something he shouldn't have.”

”Why should I believe you?”

Marquis thought for a bit and said.

”Do you know Black water?” General was stunned when he heard these words.

”How do you know that name?” His voice was frantic and a bit anxious. If the neighbouring empire is an external enemy then the Black water is an internal enemy of the empire. Even though, he is not in charge of the internal safety, he knew who they are.

”Luther is working for them, here, these are the scrolls I found in his ring.” He took out a bunch of scrolls which contained the duties of Luther in the organisation.

Marquis didn't ask for Luther's ring for no reason. He asked it for these scrolls, he can just take them away but he thought that there might be possibility that Sam might know about these scrolls based on his intelligence gathering scope. That is why he shot an arrow in the dark and it hit the target.

When the general looked through them, he was stunned. He didn't know that a Black water branch was eradicated and that happened in his son-in-law's city.

If he knew that, Sam was the one who did the work, one must wonder how he would think.
