Chapter 2104 Meetings
Crow left even without letting the city guard speak.
He arrived in a different room, where Dove was waiting along with some other people. "So, what did he tell you?"
Dove asked.
"Just as you predicted, he asked us to hand over Sam. He told me to make Sam surrender and appear in the trial."
"I knew the guard captain will pull some shit like this. If I am not wrong, then there should be a meeting happening in the Zeus Academy as well."
One of the seniors beside Dove spoke and they exchanged a glance with a smile.
That guy is not wrong.
At the same time, there was indeed a meeting happening in the Zeus Academy. However, it wasn't just the student union that was there. The student union requested help from the Noble league. At least on the paper to deal with this matter.
The captain looked at Christos and spoke.
"The situation is a bit complicated at the moment. From my estimation, the Gambler's academy is not going to let Sam surrender. So, we need to draw him in somehow and make him suffer."
"What do you suggest?"
Christos asked.
"I need the information on all the victims of Sam. I want the information of their closest relatives."
"What do you want them to do?"
"There is a special law in the Academy realm that applies only to the outsiders. The academy is not supposed to be a place where everyone could do whatever they want. One of the main reasons, the city guard and judiciary services are present is for the sake of these outsiders.
When they suffer any grievances, no matter what kind, they can appeal to the Judiciary system and the suspect will undergo a stringent investigation."
"But the outsiders are not the ones that suffered." Christos spoke.
"Well, the word suffering is a bit subjective. So, we are going to use that. Let the Zeus Academy file complaint against Sam. But it should be a joint complaint for all the victims.
It should be like the Zeus Academy filing complaint on Sam for attacking the students of the Academy. No single student should get a special treatment.
That complaint is strong, but Sam can still use trial by combat to escape.
But at the same time, I want the families of all the victims to file individual complaints against him. From the count, he has more than fifty victims and from the looks of it, he might go again. We are going to file the complaints at the same time after it reached a bit higher number.
Once it reaches a certain number, Sam will be devoid of using regular Trial by combat. Particularly, the matter involves the outsiders."
"So, you are saying that you will make the 'suffering' a subjective thing. Since the victims are killed, their families could indeed be considered 'suffered'. Still, how is this going to help us.
From what I know, when an outsider who is powerless wants to deal with a situation like trial by combat, the best they can do is choose a champion from the students or even teachers of the Academy."
"Yeah, true.
But when the number of complaints hits a certain threshold, a few things will be triggered…"
The captain went on to explain his detailed plan and Christos' eyes widened in disbelief. Not just him, everyone within the room were shocked and that included some of the city guards as well.
"How come no one knows that such a law even exists?" Christos asked. If he had known something like this exists, then he would have used this law to deal with Sam, instead of using other means.
Even now, he still doesn't know exactly what Pearl did in the Pseduo hill. The only thing he knows is that she collected a lot of death soldiers from a bunch of the families that are part of Noble league.
He also knew that she used the entrance of the Pocket dimension.
But that is it, the exact details of what transpired in the Pocket dimension are unknown to everyone. All he knew is that Sam and the other rankers came back and none of them were dead. Pearl disappeared and Dove came with Sam and declared a war as well as launched a judicial process against the Academy.
He wanted to deal with that, but then a lot of other things happened in the realm. One that gave him a headache is the case against the instructors and elders.
The crimes of them came to light.
There are a bunch of charges being filed against them. Obiviously the Noble league has a vested interest in the instructors, so strict orders came from their families to handle this along with the instructors.
He never felt such a huge headache in his life. He couldn't comprehend why the stable Olympian region is going through so much chaos at the same time.
He was already thinking of how to handle Sam. Because once he knows about their involvement, there is bound to be some heat and he wanted to be prepared. Now, the city guard captain came with the perfect solution that will handle a lot of his troubles.
They discussed a few more details and left.
While everyone has their own plans.
In the secret room of hub, Sam and his friends are watching these different meetings happening. They were all smiling at the deliberate schemes that everyone is hatching against Sam.
"Since we already know what is coming, then it is easy to handle them all. Let's just focus on our tasks at hand."
Sam spoke and swiped his hand on the table, the holographic screen changed and a few images appeared on it.
There are images of vast buildings and estates.
"Our first target. Planet Thalassa.
A vast planet with almost eighty percent of it full of sea. It is full of archipelagoes. It is occupied by one of the families that is under the Olympian rule.
Obviously they worship Poseidon.
This planet acts as their ancestral land. They have several realms and planets under their control and they are very rich as well. Thalassa has been a great blessing to them since ancient times and it still does.
Their whole family has water elemental affinities and constitutions. It is almost like a default setting to them. And they also have very high affinity with the sea beasts and they have legions of them. And maybe because of Poseidon's blessing, who is known as the creator of horses, they have affinity with a special breed of Pegasi.
It is not exactly rare and it is definitely not of the mythical bloodlines, but from what I can see they are great beasts. They have affinity to manipulate water and wind both. They are like Dia in the sense that their size not enormous. They are actually like normal horses in terms of size.
Their existence made me withdraw the plan of destroying the whole planet as it is."
Sam paused and continued.
"Now to the actual family. The Thalassa clan. The planet's namesake.
The head of the family is a Divine Plane consummation Cultivator. At the Initial Stage. Luckily for us and he is the only according to the info, in that cultivation range. But still, he can kill all of us a hundred times with his strength."
Everyone took a deep breath.
They have guts to pick a fight with anyone they want, but the problem is the guts are not enough to win the battles."
Sam noticed their solemn expressions and smirked.
"That is why, we are not going headon with them, my friends.
We are going to destroy them, but in an indirect way.
That brings us to their enemies."
Sam waved his hand and images of another family came.
"Sjor family. The clan that is absolutely against the Thalassa family. Their rivalry started several thousand centuries ago and Thalassa family managed to win, which actually made them obtain the Thalassa planet.
From then on, both of them are at odds with each other.
Their territories overlap and they fight constantly over anything and everything. They are going to be our borrowed hand."
Sam explained more intricate details of the plan as he displayed several images of the Sjor family's territory along with Thalassa family territory. There is some info about the key figures that will be involved in their plan and how they are going to be useful.
After all of that was done, Philip asked.
"So, we have the plan, we know who to use and who to discard, the only problem is making contact.
Sjor family has some significant presence in the Norse region according to our information. So, they must know all of us. We might even be under their list.
So, how are we going to make contact without revealing our intentions?
After all, there is a chance that they might just sell us out to the Thalassa family. As much as they hate each other, we are nothing insignificant in front of their powers, they can use us as bargaining chip."
