Chapter 986: Offer (1/2)

Sam took a deep breath and calmed himself down. It is unlike him to argue with someone else like this, just because he didn't like their worldview and he thought if that worldview is stupid. Maybe the continuous losses are affecting more than he thought they would.

He lost in Gran's hands in the race and he lost in the necromancer battle with Tamas. All the continuous victories over the years he spent in this very world seemed to have really gotten into his head. He is not completely new to losses. But these losses hit him hard and even though nobody judged him until now, he is judging himself.

Throughout his journey, he was invincible in every aspect among his peers. Battle, business, subordinates, status. He maintained his position ahead over the rest of his peers and he managed to defeat all of them in their own fields sometimes crushed their confidence.

Sanjay is a great example of that as he is still recovering from all the damage he took to his mental state because of Sam.

These two losses made him remember that there is a chance that he is not as exceptional and extraordinary as he thought himself or people labeled him to be.

There is a great chance that in fact, he is just like any other person and not that great. And he also realized that subconsciously he is the greatest of all his peers and the sudden losses when the opponents are on the same level even though he is playing the other party's game hit him a bit too hard.

He realized his character flaw and decided that he should work on it slowly and change his thinking.

But the sudden judgment that indicated that he is just like any other man even though with a different context still made him feel a bit sour and he decided to unleash himself on this woman.

He tried to calm himself down and decided to leave the place.

”I will stay in this city for another week. If you want to talk about this deal properly, you can do that. I apologize for being too rash with my words. But most of them are true. Your sect doesn't have a proper organizational structure or the resources to run like a proper self-sustainable organization.

Your lack of experience is not helping either. As much as you believe that your strength can solve everything, that is not enough. In this world of strength, the lack of wit and cunning made many people bite dirt and die in regret in hands of people less than them.

If my estimation and judgment of these demons are right, you wouldn't be able to survive for long. The sale I made in the past few days, is bound to gather their attention and they will use any means necessary to close your sect down and nip the growth when it is still in bud.

And If you want to prevent that, you can discuss the deal with me.”

With that, he left.

But before he left, he looked at the volcano one last time. That familiar smell that is imprinted in the genetic memory of the Golden Sun crow bloodline is coming from that volcano and there is a faint scent on Jwala's body.

He is curious to know what that is, but he couldn't do that for now and left the place to calm himself down.

For the next few days, the team laid low. Many people noticed their big presence. It is hard to miss someone who is on the level of family heads of the three families that are ruling the realm roaming casually and the little episode with the woman in the black didn't help.

Some people started paying attention, but Sam didn't care too much, he just stayed put and roamed around in the city and in the forest.

In the forest, he came across some demon bodies to see if any of his beasts are interested and get a quick growth as Yanwu and Raiju did.

But the Forest bear is not exactly interested in Emerald Blood demons and Yanwu completely ignored the crimson blood demons.

The shadow mice also didn't show any particular interest in Black Blood demons.

So, after two days of roaming, he just stayed in the city and ate at different restaurants while drinking with Sia as they exchanged their opinions on liquors.

Even though the team is peaceful. The rest of the city is not. The three families noticed the big sale that happened in the weapon shop and due to that big sale, some people showed interest in the shop.

Most people ignored the shop due to the publicized prejudice of the demon families, but once one person buys things and that too on a large amount even though the families tried to portray it as a shill, it was still impossible to do that.

Some people entered and the weapons are actually not bad. Within the same price range, they might even have the best weapons.

Now that one shop is doing business, they have to help with the other shops, so they offered some minor discounts and made the people go to their other shops.

Once these shops started getting noticed, it is hard for the three families to ignore that.

So, their attacks started immediately.

Their first target happened to be the medicine shop where most pills are sold.
