Chapter 2503: Three Friends
Chapter 2503: Three Friends
Even Icarus the one who was known to be calm and detached felt a surge of adrenaline course through his body.
He saw that every friend and associate of Sam had the same level of the excitement on their faces.
He turned to look at Sam who was just watching the sky calmly, while sipping his wine. There was a faint smile. That was all.
Icarus walked towards Sam and asked.
"What are you planning next? What do you want us to do?"
"Well, before the next plan, the current plan has to be completed. And still my three friends are outside. We gotta wait until they are back."
"Your three friends? They are still out there? When are they coming back? You made such a fuss, what if someone finds out about your relationship?"
"That’s precisely what’s going to happen. Someone is going to find out about our relationship..."
Sam had a mischievous smile on his face as he took another swig.
Meanwhile, in another world, where the last remaining second graders are fending for themselves...
Dayus and White are sitting in a room. Dayus was chugging one jar of wine after the other, while White was rubbing his two palms like he was ready to peel their skin off.
"How did you he even do it?" White muttered to himself again and again.
Dayus couldn’t even stop to speak. He just wanted to feel numb. But no amount of liquor is enough to do that.
"How the fuck did he do this? How? And why does he get to do this? What did Gambler give him?"
White on the other hand muttered like a crazy psycho. Again and again, thinking how and why Sam did what he did and why he had all those abilities.
"What should we do now?"
He asked Dayus who finally stopped.
"The fuck do I know... that guy went beyond our expectations and this time to the point of no comparison.
He destroyed the academies and outsmarted even the Deans and Grand elders of every academy. Do you really think we can do anything to him now?
And I don’t even know if I want to do anything to him now.
I don’t want to get targeted by that sick bas..." Dayus paused and looked around. He didn’t even dare say the word bastard out.
"But... even with all that, he’s gotta have something that hurts him. Something that does him in real good. One weakness..."
"What other weakness can he even have? Did you see how he gave up so much technology? That guy doesn’t have any attachment to anything he has. While others cling to little things and achievements, he can burn that huge network and fortress he built just to get revenge on the academies.
What the fuck can be his weakness..."
White suddenly felt enlightened.
"But he does have attachment to something..."
"What do you mean?"
White didn’t reply. He just stood up and walked. He felt a bit hesitant. But after a moment, he steeled himself and took out a storage ring....
"You brought this on yourself..."
Two hours later.
Bloody Chariot was having a meeting with the last remaining elders, who were pitifully few, when an attendant came in with the storage ring...
The contents of the storage ring were revealed.
There are a bunch of recording crystals and everyone of them had similar visuals. Visuals of Sam in mortal plane, when he was back in desolate... the visuals of him dealing with Nagas, etc... but all of them had one thing in common.
He was interacting and celebrating with three people.
Philip, Watt and Jack.
Everyone took a deep breath. All three of them are pretty well known right now. All three of them are the prodigies being raised by the academies. But turned out they are Sam’s friends...
"Where the fuck are they?"
Bloody Chariot spoke through gritted teeth. He kinda knew the connection between Sam and his friends, but he couldn’t use that information directly. But now, someone delivered the info to his doorstep, there is no way in hell he would let this chance go.
And Bloody Chariot wasn’t the only guy that thought so.
The information spread to the other Olympian academies and even some academies in other regions.
The location of the three was quickly revealed.
All three of them were in the second grade worlds.
They were basically holding the helm for their academies in their respective worlds. Just like how Vidyuth did for Zeus academy.
The news was quickly sent.
The elders pulled whatever strings they could and hired as many second graders as they could.
"Catch them alive. You cannot kill them. They are the hostages we need to deal with Sam.
If you kill them, then there is a chance that Sam could just disappear forever. And when he comes back and I am sure he will... we won’t know how strong that bastard will be.
A second grade Sam is already a hard enough obstacle. We don’t need an upgraded version."
Bloody Chariot gave his orders coldly.
The elders immediately sent their forces. Within the next two hours, hundreds of second grade level mercenaries from across the realms gathered to capture the three second graders that are barely in Divine Plane Initiation, middle stage.
It felt laughable to say the least.
In one of the worlds...
Jack was sitting in the middle of their base, at the core of the base’s formation, while meditating.
He sensed the movements of his fellow base members and knew the time has come...
"Took you idiots long enough. I am getting tired of this."
He stood up with his hands in his pockets. His black meteorite sword vibrated restlessly as they detected several hostile gazes around them.
Their base members were trying to weak the formation to capture him.
But Jack with a thought sent an energy impulse that disturbed their formation layout.
"You guys are idiots indeed. I gave you the formation design, how the fuck do you guys think you could just capture me with it?
I can’t believe Sam had to plan so much just to deal with the likes of you."
