Chapter 891: Presence (1/2)

Sam had a long discussion with Wembley, the woman Watt fell in love with.

Their love story is not that grand and she is not the most beautiful woman he saw. They met accidentally and fought, Watt won and didn't kill her for some reason and stayed within the forest. And their accidental meetings increased and soon they fell in love.

The issue was brought back to her tribe and they took it harshly, a conflict between the tribe and Watt started which was later solved by some kind of barbarian duel.

Sam was really not that interested in the whole love story thing. They fell in love and if it is true, he will give them his blessing.

But he couldn't stop her from saying everything, so he just listened.

”Everything was alright, between us. After the duel, my family got along well with him, but all of a sudden the Kala tribe barged in and demanded that we hand him over and with the slightest of resistance they started attacking.

Almost all of my tribe was destroyed and in the middle of it, Watt directly surrendered, but they didn't stop, then only we realized that they don't have just taking him away in their plans, they are planning to kill all of us from the start.

And Watt got angry and killed a bunch of Consummates in an instant and they didn't manage to capture him as he moved on his board.

WE were about to escape when the Astral Plane cultivator attacked and captured me. Watt tried to get me back, but he couldn't at first, he is on verge of death. The soldiers who came at that time seems to have been told to bring him back, but it turned out they overdid it.

So, they took me back, making up a story that Watt escaped after they left him to die like that. But a few days later, he came back in full health and started going on a rampage.

Which bought me a chance to escape properly, but he got caught by the Astral Plane cultivators.

As for why we are still alive, the remaining members of our tribe escaped and my grandfather who was the head of the tribe has left me something.

It is the blood pact between my tribe and the Kala tribe, which he failed to use when they attacked directly.

The blood pact is a very important thing for the barbarians and if the Kala tribe doesn't fulfill it, the rest of the barbarian tribes in the realm, will not tolerate it and wage a war at them.

But it is not invincible, so I made some demands and bought three months time as Watt said and also managed to send you that message.”

”What I want to know is, how far I can push before they lose and kill Watt?”

”What do you mean? Are you not sneaking in and freeing him?”

”Why should I sneak in? I am going to war.”

”Are you out of your mind, I thought you guys are just bluffing, but are you really doing it? I thought Watt was only saying those things out of spite and you are also talking as crazily as him.”

”Miss Wembley. You don't have to overreact. I know exactly what I am doing. I just want an answer to my question.”

”What do you mean you know what you are doing? You definitely don't know. Do you know what Kala barbarians are? Savage warriors. They are such savages that they would kill a guy if they just look at their woman's feet.”

”That doesn't matter. My war is a different kind. I just want to know when they would get rid of the pact and kill Watt without any consideration to it if I proceed with my plans.”

”They wouldn't do it until they became scarce in numbers and they feel like their whole tribe is being threatened.

In that case, nobody cares about the pact anymore and they would use him to threaten you. But if you can really reach that point, you can bargain with them and get him in exchange of their lives.

But both of them are impossible scenarios. I don't even know why we are talking about that.”

”Okay then, I have one more question. Why are you hiding if the pact is still active and in such plain sight.”

”I am not exactly hiding. The Kala tribe knows where I am. The only reason I am moving around is to avoid these pesky small fries who want to use me to get close to the Kala tribe.

They are always the biggest annoyance and hindrances, when the time comes for the pact is over and I try to escape so that the Kala tribe couldn't do anything to me, they will use the large numbers of these dumb guys who want their favor to wear us down.

So, I am luring them here and finish them off while we have a chance. My place of hiding was never a secret from the past two weeks.”

”It seems like my subordinates did a sloppy job. Anyway, I want you to sneak out of the city secretly and meet me in the forest outside. Things would get messy and I don't want you to get caught up in it. It is better if you do it tonight.”
