Chapter 747: Great Team (1/2)

Sam looked at the twenty-nine people who are all wearing cloaked clothes. In fact, Sam could nicely blend in.

But he is not supposed to ask that because of the killing intent that the twenty-nine members emitting. It is not an appropriate thing to ask or even think about.

He looked at the person whose hand was mangled and blood is seeping out.

That man is an elf and Sam could only guess that from the scent of the blood. These guys are that covered up. Except for the Centaurs though. Only their faces and the torso are covered. Their body is too big and huge to hide.

A person who is similarly cloaked walked forward and looked at Sam before asking.

”Who are you?”

”Someone you might be looking for.”

The person who seemed to be the leader of the group narrowed his eyes and looked at Sam carefully. It is as if he is trying to pick on anything that could give Sam's identity away.

”Why would we look for you?”

”Then why would you be placing this guy there? To look at bathing ladies in the city?” Sam asked as he pointed at the first observer.

The group was offended and was about to make a move. For some reason, the rest of the group is not talking. Sam couldn't only think of two reasons. One is the team being a great team with proper hierarchy in place and everyone accepting it and being in their place.

Or the second reason which could be probable brainwashing of the team that they wouldn't talk when their leader is talking.

Both cases make the team multiple times dangerous than it would normally is when they are separated and have their own thoughts.

But Sam is not worried. He observed the body language of everyone. They are all in a battle stance ready to attack him anytime waiting for their leader's order.

”We are observing Sam. If you are here on his behalf, we would like to know what your relationship with him is. In fact, we can talk this out and settle without a need for battle and bloodshed.”

”Really, how do you think that would work?”

”It is really simple. Our main problem is not with the way you are operating or the businesses that you are starting. It is the fact that you are helping the business official Raunak.

We don't like that. So we are here asking you to stop it. If you do that, not only will you be able to avoid the problems that are coming to Sam at the moment, we can even help you buy whatever businesses you have and give you a reasonable price for that.

Apart from that, you can also join the faction. With your battle ability and the battle ability of Sam which we observed in the past few days, you will be highly valued.

This is a great deal if you ask me. If I was in your position I would take it.”

”You were never my position. So don't give me that advice. Anyway, I am not taking it. So what is the other option you might suggest?”

”Then we have to use forceful measures to make you stop.”

”Like those meteors, you guys have been throwing down from the sky?”

Everyone was stumped for a second.

”Do you really think that you are so hidden and so stealthy? You are all over the place if you ask me.”

This time the leader didn't reply. He took a deep breath and said.

”Battle formation 8. Engage.”

As soon as he spoke, the twenty-nine members moved. All of them spread all over the cave with their energies riling up.

The cave is not too big. Even these thirty members don't have any privacy here.

They are all staying in a small space. It would actually be disadvantageous to the group itself. If an attack misses, Sam would be able to escape and even use another team member as a meat shield. Every time, he dodges, the attack would hurt some other person.

Sam activated energy vision to give a quick scan over the area to see if there are any traps of inscriptions and formations.

That is what he would do to have a better defense. But these guys seemed to have too much faith in their stealth that they didn't make any of such preparations.
