Chapter 162: Threats- II (2/2)

Everyone in the room were stunned and then revealed myriad of expressions. Duke was dumbfounded, General was furious and the disciples are looking at Sam in horror.

They all had one thing in their mind. ”Sam has balls of steel.”

”Sam, all this time, even if you are being blunt at least you said some truth. But this is damn right outrageous. You are not qualified enough to decide the nobility titles and positions of the military command.”

Duke said, this time his tone is cold.

”Oh, sure then you decide. What is the appropriate compensation then? The General wouldn't tell me what he planned for me to decide what sort of compensation I should get, you are saying that my current demand is outrageous, you decide.”

At this moment, general understood that he has to reveal his plans he made, otherwise Sam is going to stay mum. He has a fleeting thought of lying through this, but when he saw Duke who knew how general is like, he knows that it won't end well and Sam is not a fool either.

So, he decided and said to Sam.

”I was planning to make you withdraw from the competition and… Zeke asked me to deal with your subordinate.” By the end of the statement, his voice was low. Earlier Sam had given him a warning, not to mess with Watt but his plans precisely included him.

The whole room of people sensed a change in Sam.

Sam is emitting a lot of killing intent. It is so much that the battle-hardened General and Duke also felt suffocating.

They could almost smell blood from Sam.

Sam gave an icy cold stare filled with murderous gleam.

”You have guts, old man. Trust me. One day you are going to die in this very city and no one would dare say a word about it.

As for your grandson Zeke, you better make sure that you hide him as soon as possible.

You dare use your authority to deal with my people, I will destroy that authority. I will strip you off of your everything.

Your title, your family, your disciples, they will leave to the gutter. Anyone who helps you, I will them in cold blood.”

Then he turned towards Duke and said.

”There is no room for compromise.”

Sam turned to leave.

Duke came out of his trance and immediately stood up. He felt like Sam is a god of killing. He only felt that much killing intent and blood lust from a single person and that person in his life. So, he went into a stupor.

”Sam stop.” He yelled and immediately released his aura to suppress Sam unconsciously.

Sam stumbled and felt his legs buckle in pressure. He spat a mouthful of blood even if the pressure for only there for a moment.

He turned around and glared at the Duke.

”I apologise, that was a mistake.” Duke immediately said as he saw Sam's pale complexion.

Sam's cold glare didn't subside. ”I don't care if it is a mistake or not. But you better think before you make a move on me.

You either kill me in a single blow or leave me alone. Otherwise, with your status the whole southern star territory will be implicated.”

Sam still kept his arrogance. He might be weak, but physical strength is not the only thing that can decide. He has enough resources to get lost from his place. Save his teammates and escape from this empire. He can stay low for a while and he will destroy the southern star in a while.

His ideas for creation might take some time, but for destruction. The more creative a person is the more destructive that person can be.

Duke was surprised by Sam's words. That unwavering confidence made his hesitate.

”Sam, even though General thought ill of you, he didn't do anything yet. We can still remedy the situation.”

”There is nothing to remedy. Nobody can think doing anything to my people and live to see another day.”

”Sam, even you insulted the whole army. From the usual rules you can be executed.”

”Not if what I said was true.”

”Then prove it.”

”How?”

”Test. Since, you claim that General is incompetent and you completely believe so. I will give you a chance to prove it.

Prove that you are a more capable than him and you would have the ability to judge him.

If you really go against him now, the military and dukedom have to interfere. I will give you a solution for this too. You win this test and the General will only be a normal reserve of the army and after you think you are competent enough; you can come challenge him. if you win you can kill him.

Nobody will interfere.

And I will even give you a thousand points if can clear this test.

All I ask is you do not involve the soldiers and the innocent in this.”

Sam coldly smiled in his heart. His second agenda was met.
