Chapter 784: Premature End (2/2)

”I will do that, as soon as you leave from this seat. Is there anything else you would like to talk about?”

”How did you do that?”

”Do what exactly?”

”Communicating with your friends.”

Sam looked at him and spoke.

”If you really are as smart as I think you are, you know that I am not going to give an answer for that.”

”Of course, I know that. But it never hurts to ask. Anyway, you are a lot more interesting than I thought and you have a lot more hidden within you than what you show outside. I am really impressed.”

”It is flattering. Getting compliments from someone like you. It is a great feeling.”

”You are bullshitting. You don't care at all.”

Sam just chuckled. And the professor continued.

”I don't know what your goal is, but it is better to not interfere in other's business. I will give you free advice. That guy, Raunak. He might get you more troubles than you can handle. You have a lot of future left for you if you work with the right people.”

”That's really kind of you. And I really don't like crossing paths with others. But sometimes it is inevitable to do so. Just like how our paths crossed. At least we are business partners. But in Raunak's case, it is impossible for me to back down. I can't take back my words and I need a person like that to do my bidding.”

”I hope you can handle what you are messing with. I would like to see what kind of influence you can bring to this realm. If you disappear early that would be a real pity.”

”Don't worry, it wouldn't be long before you knew what I can bring to this realm. In fact, it would be sooner than you think. And please tell your students to not bug me about the new products. It is more of my personal project. I wouldn't be selling them until I test it personally.”

”Sure.”

With that, the professor left the place.

Sam once again closed his eyes and looked told something to his friends.

The trio stopped their actions and looked at the remaining soldiers.

Philip took a step forward and said.

”If you want to leave you can leave now. If you don't, the same thing continues. If you don't leave that is completely on you and we wouldn't be held accountable.”

The team leader was about to say something, but a small shadow merged with his own shadow and he went into a daze for a while before saying.

”We will give up.”

His face is full of unwillingness and frustration. The rest of the team could only agree without much resistance as the leader agreed.

After that, they took out their escape tokens and crushed them. The space gate activated and threw them out.

Now only the trio and some stray cultivators that came here are left. But they are not competing for the top three places.

They are just here for the extra treasures that are left within the forest. When the trio looked at them, they just lifted their hands and gave up without much thought clearly making sure that the trio knew that they are not here for them.

The trio relaxed a bit and sat down. Even though they performed well enough and they recovered with the wine, they are still a little exhausted mentally.

Playing such a long game.

They sat there and had some food and wine while recovering slowly. Until the end of this fifth day, the entries to the forest are not banned, and only after that can the competition be confirmed. After the display of the trio, the rest of the people didn't want to join in and stayed put.

They knew that once they go in they wouldn't even fare as better as the One-star military unit. They would be having a harder time than them. And they wouldn't even be able to resist as much as them.

The time slowly passed. Even though the whole event turned boring without much activity, nobody complained and all looked at the situation as they wanted to see if anyone would step up.

But to no avail. By sunset, the rest of the strays didn't even dare to stay in there and gave up and by night only the trio was left in the place making them the remaining three winners and ending this trial or tournament prematurely.
