Chapter 233: End Goal of the Journey (2/2)

Because he made a contract with Jack to tear down the Blackwater nest and find his father's killer and his pride is not letting him accept this.

One could say that a wise man bows down for the circumstances but Sam believes that a capable man can change the circumstances for his own favor.

So, that night the group stayed there and the next day Sam made his decision.

They are not going to leave the border yet.

First, they will travel to the southern star Dukedom and check up on Sam's Park. If Sam's guess is correct, unless the emperor is willing to answer to the public and prove that his acts are not of any personal vendetta, he wouldn't openly take charge of the park and also fire the employees suddenly.

At least, this is what Sam would do if he is the emperor's shoes, so to get a better understanding of the emperor's thought process Sam has to look at that place and come to a conclusion and apart from that there is another big reason and more important reason for him to visit that place and that is leaving a message and honoring the words he left behind in the past.

After that, he would think of what to do next.

So, their journey began.

First thing in the morning they left the place with the help of shadow mice and on the way, they stole a map leading to the south.

The map has details up to the imperial capital and Sam can get to the southern start from there.

From the map and the estimated distance, it will take around one month in the shortest route which will lead to the imperial capital, and this time Watt is responsible for bringing there.

But before that, Sam has to give some makeover to Watt. He made his hair silvery white like an old man and added some wrinkles on the face and hands and other exposed his skin. He taught him how to walk like an old man and how to hunch like one.

Why Watt though?

It is because Watt is the only person who is out of the limelight for more than the past month. He was shoved inside the dimension even before their journey to the thunder god temple. So, his presence was completely neglected and it would be sometime before the emperor concentrates on him.

Sam is just being cautious, because there is a high chance that the searches are being done in the southern star continent now, because, the emperor didn't know that Sam himself has no control over the direction the scroll took him.

So, he would assume that Sam went to the southern star where he has the most influence and an extremely profiting business.

And his guess is almost right but the only thing is that Sam is only going there a little later than he thinks.

Watt is now traveling on Falck at a moderate speed and he dressed as an old man. His pace is as if he has all the time in this world.

Meanwhile, inside the dimension, Sam is sitting along with the other two as they are discussing their future steps.

Jack has a small question for Sam and that is.

��What is your final goal from this journey, we could just escape to the neighboring empire and we can take the revenge slowly? We are not on par with the strength of the emperor and apart from that, there are generals, Marshalls, countless Nascent cultivators including Dukes, and also the vast army under their control. And even worse, they have the manpower and the resources to make their work easier. We are completely on different levels. We are against the whole empire.”

Sam smiled and said.

”What you said is right, let us forget about the emperor's level for now, since the power level is completely out of our league, it doesn't matter whether it is a Nascent or higher they all can kill us in an instant.

As for what you said about the rest, yes, we are indeed against the whole empire and it is true that they have many resources in their control.

And our end goal of this is also related to that.

Why do you think, the emperor has so much pride that he just attacked me without a second thought, even though all I did was just retaliate against his son?”

Jack and Philip looked at each other and the latter answered.

”Because he was the emperor?” He doesn't sound so sure, because, even he thought that it was kind of stupid. Just because he is an emperor doesn't mean he can do whatever he wants, right?

But Sam's answer proved he was right.

”Exactly, he behaves like this just because he is an emperor. And our goal is to pluck that title off of his head and reduce is head weight so that he can look at the ground for once and let us see how we would react.”

His voice was so casual that Jack and Philip even felt that they didn't hear anything clearly.
