Chapter 1092: Leader 3s strength (1/2)
Sam and the team are currently in leader 1's territory.
They are currently in the city where the branch that they used and set up the whole scenario is located.
They are looking at the chaos that is occurring in the shadows without the citizens even knowing. They were surprised by the sheer number of experts that are under the command of Leader 3.
From the memories they gathered from the subordinates, they didn't get any information from this. There are more than a hundred Late transcendent cultivators under Leader 3 which is something that neither Sam nor the rest of the leaders expected.
Sam tried to gather some information, but everything is so tight with both of the branches, they are both attacking and defending against each other.
The team started thinking of ways to get a dead body and find some information, but for over a week, they didn't manage to get any. Shadow mice got some information, but nothing is crucial, it is more or less the battle plans of both parties.
Sam didn't want to make his presence known at the battlefields first. Most of them are assassinations and both sides are going at it discreetly. There are very rarely any flashy battles and provided by the fact that the first week both parties started taking out the weaker parties on each side just to reduce the numbers are morale for their opponents, it is completely understood.
To get more information, Sam even tried to get some dead bodies that died in this assassination spree and extract them from their souls, but that didn't happen, because every time they wanted to proceed someone from either side is coming to the spot.
Unless there is one high-profile clash with multiple members in the battle, it would be hard for them to get a hold of a body of a person that has any notable information.
So, they are pretty much just spectators for the whole week.
After one week though, they managed to find a place where a large-scale battle would take place.
It is an ambush on the remaining son of Leader 3 being planned by the branch manager of Leader 1 who also happened to be his son.
Son of Leader 3 and son of Leader 1 are going to clash and the people that are assigned to both of them are of pretty high level and are bound to have the proper information.
So, Sam and the team waited near the ambush place.
The son of Leader 3, from what Sam heard, he is actually no brain and only brawn. He is the guy that would look for a way to brute force through anything and the only time his brain works is when is assassinating somebody.
He doesn't have any talent in management whatsoever. In the past week from what Sam could estimate, he killed around eighteen members on the other side. Combining both the people that came after him and the people that he went after, he reached eighteen.
Now that he bared his fangs like that, the other party understood that he should be eliminated as soon as possible.
But Leader 3 is not stupid, so he immediately made preparations and sent a bunch of elites to protect his son and also kill everyone that came at them.
From the sheer numbers, Leader 3 is a clear advantage, now all that depends on the quality. From the looks of the people, it seems like Leader 3 also had an advantage in that.
As Sam saw the performance of these people, he is tempted to modify his plan.
At this moment, he wants both the leaders to fight each other and destroy each other forcing them to reveal their true prowess in both numbers and strength, he would only reveal himself at the last minute and finish them off and escape with the heirloom fragments without making his presence known.
Then, he would proceed to deal with the rest of the Black curtain.
But now that he saw Leader 3's prowess, he has half a mind to let him cause more chaos in the Black curtain. If he successfully destroyed the rest of the branches and even if he didn't, as long as he could damage them enough, Sam could swoop in and take everything away.
This ambush might be the deciding point of the change of plans. As far as Sam knew the Leader 3's son wouldn't know about the ambush, so he could see their group's performance.
As they hid a fair distance away, they looked through the surveillance set up as they waited for the ambush to take place.
After half an hour or so, Leader 3's son walked into the area with his group. But as soon as they walked into the group and the Leader 3's son became alert and made the first move. Sam was pretty impressed by this.
The battle went on, everyone is making killer moves and trying to defend themselves from others.
