Chapter 317: Secret meeting (1/2)
Watt is in an intense battle with the Grand realm cultivators of the Beast faction, right now he is battling a Middle-stage Grand realm cultivator, the opponent is also a Wind element user and he has a Vulture type beast, in the air, Falck and the Vulture are tearing at each other.
The birds are crashing each other into the nearby trees as they started digging into each other's bodies with the talons.
Watt is having a battle of endurance with the cultivator. He is causing a lot of external injuries and didn't even bother to make vital hits.
After more than an hour-long battle, Watt completely gained an upper-hand and started pummelling the opponent. He started kicking the opponent who fell down in his face as the tooth fell out.
He did so until the opponent has fainted and walked into the residence. He took out a card similar to what he uses but there are markings just like a modern pack of playing cards and this one is a two of diamonds.
He threw the card to the wall and it impaled itself into it.
He walked out and said.
”This place is mine for now, if you want to take this back, come and beat me.”
With those words, he left. This scenario has been happening for a few days. He battled an opponent to tooth and nail and made sure that the opponent cannot even get up and took away their residence in a bet.
He put a hundred million spirit stones as a wager and everyone is too greedy to not participate and Sanjay's intervention only made worse for the disciples rather than Watt. Because, Sanjay specifically instructed that they should entertain Watt as long as it is a fair-challenge and they have no right to reject that.
This is to keep Watt at the bay and make sure that he wouldn't try to escape or think of some suicidal ways to damage the beast faction and himself.
Every day, Watt is taking a residence and placing a card to leave a mark that it is his.
Sanjay didn't think much of it, Watt is just trying to vent his anger and since he couldn't beat Sanjay, he is taking it out on the remaining disciples and making them suffer by dragging the residences.
All he is doing is just to bring Sam to this Beast faction and learn the whole story behind it. But from the looks of it, Sam would be done for if he comes here, but he has confidence that his uncle who stays all day in the darkroom would come out and save Sam if that really happens.
After all, even his father has to think twice to talk to his uncle.
To put it bluntly, all this is to satisfy his curiosity, but the price is the grand realm cultivators who are numbered in hundreds are suffering. Watt is beating the crap out of all the Initial stage Grand realm cultivators and even some Level-4 Grand realm cultivators, which is annoying the elders, but Sanjay has enough backing that even his own father who is the faction head of the Beast faction couldn't do anything to him.
At the same time, Sam who returned to the Thunder god temple is in a meeting with Arthur.
”I need the info regarding the beast faction, as much info as you can get with your access level. I will pay the amount no matter how much it is.”
”I will see what I can do.” Arthur left the place with those words and came back after two hours.
Sam was surprised to see the info which only took two hours to bring back.
”How much?” Sam asked.
”There is actually no price, it is in the core disciple library. You might not know this but the thunder god temple doesn't have allies, two of the remaining five powers are enemies and the other three are on neutral terms, and from now on we think the Beast faction is also on our enemies list.
Because of that, there is compulsory knowledge that has to be learned by all the core disciples and elders, and this beast faction record just came into the library.
Since no one is particularly enthusiastic, I just brought over the copy.”
Sam is surprised, that the thunder god temple is meticulous. ”Okay then, ask me if you need some help,”Sam said and sent Arthur off, before looking at the info.
It has info on all the core members of the faction. People from above the Grand realm and the Nascent stage are mostly detailed. He even found out the lady who gave him the token and she turned out to be Monica, the daughter of the one current faction head.
The worst thing is, he couldn't find any information on Sanjay apart from that he is the son of the current faction head.
He even saw the details of the three people who are killed by Philip, Jack, and Watt, and their status was left unknown as they didn't know the life and death of the trio.
After studying this, Sam went to another info which was bought from a normal trading area in the thunder god temple and that is the beast catalog near the beast faction.
This is common knowledge as it has been explored hundreds of years earlier. So, it is available for even normal internal disciples to buy.
Sam spent two days studying it. He doesn't need any details on beasts as the bestiary he had in hand has more details than this info.
All he wants to know is the type of beasts that are available for the beast faction people to get their hands on so that he can learn the beasts used for their contracts to make some preparations.
