Chapter 756: Annoying trial (1/2)

The next day.

Sam is currently in front of the city lord.

This is the hearing for the yesterday's forest fire he caused. The city lord looked at him and asked.

”Who are you fighting with in the forest last night? From what we heard there are many people in the forest and I am sure you knew that it is illegal to kill someone according to the law. On top of that the forest is sacred in the elven culture. I know you are a human, but that is not acceptable.”

”I didn't kill anyone.”

”What do you mean by that?”

”I mean exactly what I said. I didn't kill anyone.”

”Then what about the people that are spotted in red cloaks by the city guards.”

”Then may I ask why the city guards didn't pursue the people that looked suspicious?”

”I am the one asking questions here.” The City lord got flustered and spoke in a defending tone.

Sam shook his head and spoke.

”I don't know on what grounds you are holding a trail for me. First, I didn't kill anyone and if you have any proof that I did, you can provide it. As for the forest destruction, I don't know exactly what you are talking about. You might have either ignored some documents or you might have deliberately not seen in.

The forest you said I damaged is my private property and the paper work is processed last night. I am building an office for my own company which was recently registered so I bought the forest land. And it is even directly processed by the special officer Raunak, if you want you can take a look.”

As soon as he said that, the city lord asked someone beside him who brought the documents.

But Sam is not done yet.

”I am the highest tax payer in the last few months and if you don't mind me asking, if there are really suspicious people that came to my property, I would at least expect that minimum security that a normal civilian should get.

But here I am being put through a trial because someone suspects me of killing people that are supposedly sneaked into my private property.

I just don't understand how you maintain this government.”

The City lord was stumped. But Sam still has something else to say.

”Anyway, if you really want to find and grill someone, find that guy that is committing arson right in the middle of the city. He killed two officers and a noble offspring that came here from Planet 1. I don't think there is any progress in that case. I don't like being treated like this.”

With that, he didn't even bother to wait for any response and left. But the city lord is currently feeling a bit stressed.

He is from a faction and he knows for a fact that something is wrong with Sam and he is currently hunting the members of their faction.

The faction 2 is also silent for the same exact reason, they might have lost some money to Sam, but money is something they could earn easily and with the fact that everyone that messed with Sam was burned alive is something they couldn't get over easily.

That is why the faction 2 let them fight over and they are happy that Sam is selling his new products to the new members from Planet 1 than the faction 1 as they lost too many funds and that even cost them the election in Planet 2.

The city lord is only giving Sam a hard time because he was ordered to, but now that he was reminded of what happens, when Sam was targeted he is sweating bullets, he didn't even bother to stop him and let him go.

After Sam came out, he met with Raunak and spoke personally.

”These factions are really idiotic and so full of themselves. Do you have answer for my question?”
