Chapter 544: Not a Mention (2/2)

Sam's expression grew colder and colder as time passed.

At this moment, an attendant came over and passed a small slip of paper to him and in it, there is a message.

”Dream all you want. But I will steal everything that mattered to you.”

Sam frowned and looked around, there is no one around and he couldn't feel anyone's gaze on him. No one seemed to be observing him, but they are still doing so.

He called back the attendant and wanted to ask, but all he got in reply was a sneer and silence. Sam became angrier by the second and closed his eyes to calm down.

He started thinking about the situation and what the other party might have wanted of him. There is definitely a hidden agenda, he just has to figure out what it is. What would they want from Sam that they even sent the message to him in the middle of the ceremony?

He came to some conclusions and the most feasible of them is that the other person might have wanted him to suffer. His hard-earned achievements are taken away, he would be suffering already and they just wanted to increase his suffering and make him torment himself in silence.

And why would that happen? Because no one would dare question a ceremony that the emperor himself participated in. Everything should be perfect and even if a person suffers he would just take it lying down as it would be dangerous in the face of the emperor.

Any normal person would the same. But he is no normal person. It is Sam.

Sam abruptly stood up and started walking away. There is a special way in the side for attendants to move and that would be the way that should be taken if someone has to leave in emergencies so that it wouldn't look bad on the ceremony.

But Sam walked to the main aisle in the center and started walking out with his head held high.

Everyone's attention was on him.

The guards moved and blocked him while the minister stopped his speech, even the emperor is looking at him with a frown.

”Where do you think you are going?”

The imperial guard who is a middle-aged man asked Sam coldly.

”I think I am in the wrong place. I think was not supposed to be here. So, here I am leaving to not to overstay my welcome.”

”What are you talking about? If you are not supposed to be here, you wouldn't have been able to come here.”

”You better give a proper explanation. Not respecting the emperor can be charged with treason and the treason could only lead to one thing. Execution.”

The minister who is in charge of the speech said loudly.

Sam didn't look at the minister and said to the imperial guard.

”This might be the reason I was here. To be executed.”

”What do you mean by that?”

Sam took out a spatial ring and gave it to the imperial guard.

The imperial guard took out a golden scroll and a bunch of battle reports along with Sam's military identity and looked through them with the rest of his guards.

All of them were stunned as they saw this. They didn't expect that someone with this many accomplishments would leave in the middle of the ceremony, wouldn't this make his glorious moment, but his frown grew deeper as he looked at Sam.

His black attire is too eye-catching, there is no way he would miss if someone dressed like that with those achievements came on to the stage. There can only be one reason, something is wrong here. This guy might have felt his pride took a hit, particularly when he was invited with a specialized golden scroll.

He looked at the minister on the stage coldly and looked at the emperor.

The emperor was silent all this while and gestured calmly. There is not a single expression on his face that could betray his thoughts.
