Chapter 207: First target (2/2)

What Sam said is feasible.

”Sure, let's do that way. The first three weeks, we will be solely focussing on the missions and the last week, we will target the candidates. Meanwhile, all we have to do is watch out for our safety.”

Philip said in agreement while Jack also complied. Watt is seriously focussing on his meal.

After that, they had a sumptuous meal and are on the way back to their new home.

But as soon as they exited the restaurant…

*Swoosh*

An arrow came towards Sam with the electric blue lightning crackling around it, but before the arrow could hit him, his arm glowed with golden light as he caught the arrow and looked towards the direction it came from.

Sam noticed that the terrace of the opposite building from with the arrow should have been shot was empty, the attacker, ran away after the attack failed. But Sam didn't let that go.

He boarded harbinger and hovered like wind and reached the terrace, there was no sign of a person who ran away, at all. No matter how fast the person is, it is almost impossible to disappear without leaving a trace, unless that person has a treasure just like Sam's divine dimension.

He went towards the alley behind the building and searched around. Meanwhile, he discreetly let the shadow mice out and made them scout the area.

Even though, they didn't see that person, if he is hiding in any discreet areas, shadow mice have a better shot at finding him.

Sam looked around vigilantly.

He observed the people's expressions. There is no disturbance whatsoever. The surrounding people are behaving normally. They are looking at Harbinger curiously, but that's it, there is no other expression.

This area is near the intersection of the Business zone and the inner zone, so it is pretty high-end. So, the crowd is very small.

Sam felt that the attacker should be extremely close as it is difficult to run away that fast without even alerting the surrounding people.

After a few seconds, Sam closed his eyes and calmed down, he took a good look at the surrounding people and his eyes landed on a old man, who came out of the bar and walking away, without so much as a glance towards Sam.

This caught his attention, and after observing for a second, he took out the golden Crescent and nocked an arrow as he aimed at the old man without so much as an argument or confrontation.

He stretched the thread and started condensing the spiritual energy, the 'old man' freaked out and was about to run away, Sam released the aura which hit the old man squarely on the back.

The tail wind of the arrow was as sharp as the tip, as it tore the several opening on the back.

Sam moved and stepped on the old man's hand and tore the mask off of his face, before dragging him by his neck.

This is a young man who is from another dukedom. Sam has seen this guy before in the assembly.

He dragged the man back to the restaurant entrance, only to see Philip Jack and Watt holding two other people.

”Five people ambushed us as soon as you left, but they left these two here and escaped. They don't have much points in their cards, just around three to four thousand.”

”Let us take them back to our place.”

Later, after half-an-hour.

The three people who attacked are kneeling in front of Sam and the rest, in the basement. This is one of the reasons Sam paid for this house, the basement will come in handy and especially in these kinds of situations.

After some serious 'convincing' the three spilled their beans.

These guys are from a team and their team consists of six members; the interesting thing is that not all of them are from same Dukedom.

The whole team was made up by the bottom two rankers or three Dukedoms.

Sam was surprised that they not only made a team without much knowledge about each other, but they somehow tried to ambush them.

He was even more surprised when he learnt that he is not their target. Their actual targets are Philip and Jack.

They somehow learnt that Sam doesn't like it when someone pisses him off and he is very persistent in taking revenge, but they also heard that he is pretty strong, so they made a plan. One of them would sneak attack Sam, to lure him away, the remaining five will attack Philip and Jack taking their points.

The plan is actually quite good, except that whoever they got the news from didn't say anything about Philip and Jack's battle prowess making them misjudge the situation.

In fact, they said that this actually worked on some smaller teams and now they wanted to try their luck on a big fish.

Sam is even more surprised that these guys took down some smaller teams. That means, since dawn these guys didn't take any break or waste any time. They are fully active. Now, because of their wrong target selection the three are now captives.

”So, what are we going to do with them? Killing is forbidden right?”

Jack asked.

”Empty the points and give them their cards back, but don't let them leave the place. I will lay some formations to imprison them, let the remaining teammates take the bait and come here. As these three are separated the team card is worthless. Let us see if they will come here to take them so that they could access the points in the team card or they would just let go of the points.”
