Chapter 807: Variens sincerity (2/2)

Varien pursed his lips and said.

”Sam, this time, I swear on my life. Once they knew about the scroll they wouldn't do anything. The product is a success, even if these bastards don't know what is at stake, the people in the upper echelons surely do. I will talk to them. Then you will be able to talk to them. Please give me a chance.”

Sam looked at Varien for a second and finally nodded his head.

They swam back to the city. But this time, the transcendent stage cultivators and the consummate stage cultivator stayed silent the whole time and didn't even dare to talk.

They are afraid of Varien, even the consummate level cultivator is also being a bit restrained. Sam first time understood the influence of Varien.

Since he came to the city, he was too busy working. He didn't really enjoy it much and take a look into the workings of the sirens.

It seems like Varien has a bit of influence here and the scroll might even be the reason for that.

After returning to the city, Sam went back to the residence, and Varien went to deal with the situation. The first thing he did is drag Arav and the rest of the enforcement officers and make sure that he gets punished.

The word spread around the city and the attendant that led Sam to the ambush yesterday who is still working on Sam's insistence is the carrier of the news.

He explained the whole situation of the city and its power dynamics and what might lead to what.

The basic layout of the power dynamics is that there are three groups of people. One that supports them being superior to the elves and attacking them any time they wanted.

The second one is against that and are cautious of the elves who could possibly find a way to enter the sea and deal with them, so they support the internal development in the sea and guarding their territory.

The third group is the fence-sitters that go with whatever flow is smooth at that time.

Varien is obviously from the second group and he turned out to be the strongest transcendent stage cultivator in the whole city and in fact it might even be true to be the strongest of all the sirens in the same cultivation realm and no one knows how strong he really is.

That is why the consummate stage cultivator who recently broke through, just a few days ago and also the only consummate cultivator that came to the demonstration is wary of him.

There are even stories of him blocking consummate level attacks with ease. That is why they didn't dare to piss him off too much.

If by any chance he managed to defeat a consummate stage cultivator, then all his glory would go down in the drain.

And Varien's father is also one of the important members of the sirens, but he had to go to someplace where urgent assistance was needed. Otherwise, Sam wouldn't even face any form of resistance.

This would have been easy.

Varien tried to be civil and accommodating with the rest of the group so there wouldn't be any conflict when his father is not here.

But this time, it is already way out of the line. He couldn't take it anymore.

He dragged Arav to the enforcement hall and put him through a special trial.

An enforcement hall is a place where all the trials will be conducted for every crime.

Sirens are generally born with the great mental strength, to begin with, they can even do some mind control and stuff. But there are specially gifted people even among the sirens in this area and they can actually put a man through a mental test where they would only tell the truth and any effort to lie would be detected easily.

The trial is simple.

Whether Arav has intentionally tried to cross the boundary and if that intention is to kill Sam using the help of the Sea urchins.

And there is no suspense there. It was intentional and the reason is also told. Because Sam has a scuffle with a siren on the surface and that Siren happened to be Arav's brother.

Now it was the punishment. For this enforcement, the hall is a bit hesitant.

Arav and Varien have similar status regarding their birth and such. But Varien is far more valuable to the Siren race as a whole.

But still, they don't want to offend the fathers of the duo and decided to throw Arav into prison before Varien's father and other people who went along with him to come back.

Sam is really willing to see what these people would do. He is extremely intrigued on how far Varien would go to prove his sincerity and then Varien came to his residence to say something.

”Currently, the decision-makers that are here are all old fools that are stuck up. They like your idea, but they don't want to have a fair discussion and all they have in mind is to oppress you. So, if you don't mind I would like to ask you to wait for three days until my father comes back. Then we can have that meeting.”

Sam didn't really have much to say and agreed.
