Chapter 122: Enlightened
Sam reached the estate in blink of an eye, but he didn't move inside. Not because, he was afraid of the large crowd, because, he was thinking on how to solve this once and for all. He doesn't want to face this situation again and again.
If he wants to do that though, he needs to find the answer to that question.
That answer will let him know what he is lacking, and if knows what he is lacking, he is confident enough that he can get that.
He looked at the large entrance of the estate. He is thinking on how to proceed.
Watt and Jack came to him and stood behind. They didn't know what he was thinking and soon even the beasts and the rest if the teammates caught up.
"Sam."
Jack called his name.
"What should I do to avoid this situation again and again? Do I really look like a pushover? This is not even the first time. What should I do to make them think thrice before making a move on people under me?"
When his teammates heard him, they didn't know what to say for a second. After a brief silence, Philip is the one who answered.
"You are not a pushover man, there are many reasons to not to mess with you. You are an expert in more than one profession, you can have an overbearing status in a society, you have great potential, your battle prowess is off the charts, you are so ruthless that you will kill a person just because he cursed you.
But there is one reason which is offsetting everything and making them move against you and that is their lack of knowledge.
A normal person and a person with minimum social knowledge will definitely know better than to mess with you, if they know what you are capable of.
But what if that person doesn't know? What is that person doesn't know what you are capable of? What if that person doesn't know, you are ruthless enough to slaughter him for a single curse word?
Hell, you might even be able to slaughter the whole clan, but what if they don't know about it?
The saying 'Ignorance are fearless' is not for nothing.
If you really want to prevent these types of situations, make it known that it is a bad idea.
Make them know, that you are not one to be messed with. Make it known to the whole world and no one would dare to have these ideas."
When Philip finished his speech. Sam felt as if he was enlightened.
He understood now.
Why did those second-generation young masters make a move on Stella, because even if they knew Sam's status, they didn't know the significance of it, because only a select few knew about this as these young masters aren't qualified to come across that information.
But that only made them more fearless, if they really knew what he was fully capable of, they might have peed their pants at just the thought of him.
Now, he understood what he has to do? But he is regretting it now, if he understood this before Stella might have lived.
He looked at the sky and sighed.
He is determined now, he will make sure that the past doesn't repeat itself. Even if a person doesn't understand why they shouldn't mess with him, he will still make them known that, it doesn't matter whether they understand or not. They still shouldn't mess with him.
How to do it? Sam didn't take long to think about it. He stepped forward and stored away his board. Actually, if he used his board and all its functions he installed, he is more than confident on taking on all these guys without much effort at all.
But that would ruin the whole point. They will think that Sam relied on his gadgets and if they can make him separate from the gadgets, they can think of a way to deal with him. They will keep on finding these kinds of excuses.
They will still bother him like house flies.
He took away his feather coat and gave it to Watt, then he took out the claws he made. These are actually incomplete ones according to Sam's design, but they are pretty much full as all ten nails are present and he can fight with them all the same.
The only things that are lacking are the additional features which he wasn't able to make due to his lack of materials.
When they came face to face with all the people gathered, Sam stopped and said to his teammates.
"Don't get involved in this, if anyone of these guys tries to escape, just kill them immediately."
When he said those words, everyone including his teammates were dumbfounded.
"Jack, I need a favour."
"What do you want?"
"Take out your sword and be ready to attack." Jack nodded as soon as heard those words, but Sam's next words he was dumbfounded.
"If I try to escape or runaway. Kill me immediately." His words are cold and emotionless as if he was talking about something insignificant. Looking at Jack's expression, he said. "If you don't do so and I get to live, I will kill you."
His words only mean one thing. He is planning to take on all the members himself and if he can't do so, he would rather die. Even the him who is one verge on losing tries to escape, he doesn't want to accept that person to be himself. He can't accept himself to be that person who flees. Sam is determined.
At this moment, the people from the group also heard Sam's words.
Some of them are laughing and jeering at him, some of them are looking at him as if he was retarded.
Someone came forward from the back of the crowd, he is none other that the young master cougar, the son of the Count. He had an arrogant smile as he looked at Sam.
"If it isn't the arrogant and powerful Artisan Sam. Aren't you all powerful, right now your teammate is going to be a tool for my father's cultivation, try and stop him if you can."
Sam didn't reply and was waiting for Jack's answer. When he finally got a nod of acknowledgement from Jack, he turned towards the young master.
"Why aren't you speaking? Aren't you so cool when you are attacking me in that god forsaken place? Try and make a move now and I promise you I will gouge your heart out."
Young master Cougar stepped forward from the crowd and another guy who seemed to be in his late stages of Novice also followed him. Otherwise, the young master might not even dare to come forward anyway.
Sam didn't look at the young master. But he looked at the other guy who is walking with a sabre his hands. He immediately hacked his sabre in his hands. But before he could cut through Sam, latter moved and threw a Brazilian kick.
But the difference is this one didn't hit the temple, rather his foot was directed the kick towards the opponent's throat.
The sabre cut the vest Sam is wearing and his upper body became bare.
The opponent was nailed to the ground, motionless, when everyone saw him, they were dumbfounded. Sam's toes were pierced deep inside the throat and his who foot was covered in blood, the opponent was dead just like that.
Sam turned his head towards his teammates and said, "Don't get involved this fight is mine." Then he turned towards Yanwu, Sky and ape. "Kill anyone who tries to get near my teammates." The three beasts roared in acknowledgment.
The clan members were still in daze, but Sam didn't care and moved forward. He appeared before the young master and before the latter knew it.
He caught his neck with his left hand and punched with his right hand on the latter's heart.
*Crack* *Crack*
One could hear the cracks from the bones shattering.
But he isn't done, the next moment after he punched, he opened his hands and formed a claw. All the sharp edges pierced into the chest of the young master and before he could even cry in pain, the whole palm came outside from the back of him.
The whole place became eerily silent.
*Lub* *Dub* *Lub* *Dub*
The bloody hand of Sam which went through the opponent's chest was now holding a beating heart.
The young master of the Cougar family was dead just like that and the crowd only came to senses now as they thought about the consequences.
They are in daze since Sam made the first move by killing a late stage novice in a single kick. But in a blink of an eye, before they could come out of that shock, the young master of the Cougar family is dead right before their eyes and the death was just like what young master described.
"Gouged the heart out."
