Chapter 160: Call from Duke (2/2)
Sam waited in the tent not even bothering to attend the daily routine, even the instructors didn't ask him to come.
They are happy as long as they don't have any interaction with Sam. After all, they picked on him for no reason and Sam could so too. If he found fault for everything they do and visited their camps time and again, they will lose the rest of the army too.
There already signs of soldiers wanting to quit.
Sam is waiting for the duke to call him. He was so sure because, from what he understood about the general he knew that he deeply cared for his students.
And if his hypothesis was right, he would try his best to save Jim from his current state. But since, the tower head of the Pharmaceutical tower didn't want to help, there is only one person who can convince him and that is the Duke.
But it was almost evening and he still didn't receive any call from the Duke.
This is because, the general went to have a talk with his son-in-law and was lost in thought. He just kept recalling the things his son-in-law said.
Particularly the last part of the conversation.
”General Spark, I already advised you to not to provoke him, but you still did. I withheld some info before, in case I would piss off that guy if I told it to someone, but since you are not a person who is not willing to listen, then I cannot do anything but tell you about this.
The Blackwater, Sam is the one who destroyed it in my territory. He destroyed the Blackwater branch in Blue flame city and the most important part of it is, the leader of the branch is a Nascent.
But still, there are nothing but the bones left of that person.
Sam killed him right before my eyes.
That is one of the cruellest murders I have seen.
That guy has to experience the blood leaving his body, his life force being sucked away, his internal organs being eaten and his flesh consumed by some really powerful insect type beasts.
Other than a bunch of bones, there is nothing left of him.
If you are thinking that any of the news you heard about Sam is exaggerated, then you better think again.
If I were you though, I would resolve the conflict as soon as I can. Otherwise, you better kill him in a single blow and get rid of the trouble once and for all.
If you don't though, you are going to suffer.
From, what I understood, the most fearful thing about Sam is not his battle prowess or potential, rather it is his brain, his intelligence and his wit. Even a if a breath of life is left in him, he will definitely take his enemy's life away before he dies.
Good Bye.”
General Spark fell silent and thought for a while. He understood that Sam is not a typical genius who is just arrogant because of their backing, battle prowess or some minor achievements which they think are big deal.
He is different and at the same time dangerous. He is like a wild beast with a strong sense of territorial awareness. But instead of territory, he is so possessive of his things, friends, employees everything that is related to him.
Fifteen days of oppression. A typical genius will either endure or leave the place in pride seeing that the opposite party is too strong to handle.
But Sam went on his way to destroy the things that put the General in his position. He is an Insane guy.
Only after a long time did the general come to himself and walked out of the room. He met his students and carried Jim as he ran towards the Duke Palace. He has to clear the conflict as fast as possible. Otherwise, he would be in for a treat which he couldn't enjoy.
When the Duke saw that the General is running towards him like this, he thought that thee is some kind of crisis in the army.
Well, technically there is a crisis in the army but it is not one that he thought of.
General met the Duke in the Duke palace court along with his students and informed him of the situation briefly. He is too embarrassed to spell everything has happened because of his ego. So, he vaguely gave the hints
But Duke felt that something is a miss Still he agreed to talk to Sam and sent an attendant to summon him.
By this time, Sam is already sitting in the tent in his usual Black coat instead of the army uniform. He knew that he has to go meet the duke, so he would meet him in his own style, after all he is not just any soldier, he has a lot more identities than that.
When the attendant came to Sam, he complied and followed the attendant. They rode a eagle type level 4 beast as they went to the Duke palace.
