Chapter 215: Aftermath (2/2)

The next few days, many events happened.

Sam and his team didn't come out, the only other group without any harm is the southern star group led by Nicholas.

Sam took the cards of all the seeded candidates who have a possibility of winning the top ten.

They are all empty now.

The small fries who are hired from them started to see a chance of them since Sam didn't bother to take their cards, that is only until the big shots showed their fangs.

Since they cannot do anything to Sam and they desperately need points, they healed as quickly as possible and went all out on the small fries.

So, the elimination began even before the evaluation.

Even the Prince was on a spree to collect the points as fast as he can and then only the small fries understood the despair of being back stabbed and treated as pawns.

They were used to target Sam and his companions and now they are being hunted by the big shot young masters for their points.

Some of them even wanted to shamelessly ask Sam for help saying things like, 'we were being manipulated at that time.' 'A man of your stature shouldn't be this petty and you should help us.'

The only answer for them is their arm was cut off again.

They painfully paid more than ten million for their arms to get healed but now it was cut again.

So, nobody dared to bother Sam again.

Meanwhile, Sam and his group and busy distributing their huge haul. What six swords said is right.

The hidden cards are true treasure and it took them a whole day to transfer all the points to their three cards. They couldn't help but feel shocked.

They truly hoped that these points have more significance than just ranking. They have too many of them.

They spent their days cultivating and resting and soon the day came where they have to come out.

The day before the ceremony. The day for the top ten people to come out.

Since, Sam's trio took up the top three spots there are only seven for which the rest had to struggle for.

Nicholas was actually quite good and secured sixth spot.

Fourth being Nathan, fifth Patrick.

The remaining four spots are obtained by people named Fermi who is the pharmaceutical tower head's son in seventh place.

Tiger in eighth place.

Morgan in ninth place and finally Jerry in tenth. The last three are the sons of Dukes.

The princess and her assistant seemed to withdraw from the competition.

Today only, their positions were announced and not the points.

Sam, Jack and Philip took the top three respectively.

There was another announcement that day.

”Your positions in the ranking are not final, but I would advise you to keep the point cards with yourselves, those points are completely yours and you will have many uses for them in the future.

But the true rankings will be determined tomorrow after the banquet of the Princess Natalie. All of you will have to visit the imperial palace by sunset.

After the banquet is over the ten of you will be going through the hand to hand combat, similar to the way you obtained the ranking in your dukedoms.

So, be prepared. And everyone must where formal clothes to the ceremony and you can change to your battle clothes afterward.”

After the announcement was over everyone went on their own ways.

Sam is quite busy for the past few days, his actions are a bit weird because he collected all the arms they collected from the candidates.

The remaining three were weirded out by his actions.

But that night, the day before ceremony, they saw what Sam made from the past few days and were stunned.

This is a piece of art.

”I plan to settle down in the imperial capital in the future for sometime and this will be placed in my meeting room. How does it look?” Sam asked them with a smile, his three companions are too stunned to even talk.
