Chapter 1322: Blue Cloaks
Grivon was really not convinced by what Sam said. But he made his subordinate perform the soul extraction and his face changed immediately because the soul was not there.
Someone already did a soul extraction on this one and that means, someone is here before or someone really killed this person and took the soul.
Every time a person was killed like this, the Gaja clan members thought it was a virus or some other microorganism as they experienced this a lot of times.
The Mari clan due to Sivan's great exploits in this field managed to make this almost a daily routine. They always send a new variant they obtain from the research to the Gaja clan almost like it was their testing grounds and the clan members are like their test subjects.
They release the viruses and Bacteria like they were releasing relief funds for some victims of natural disasters. Of course, the Gaja clan replies in kind with their fierce attacks. They just don't hide like cowards and use viruses, they go to the Mari clan territories, kill a few guys and come back out in the open while holding their opponents' heads.
When the Gaja clan saw some guys dying with blood in their orifices, they assumed it was Mari clan and already started taking down some heads back home.
They didn't think twice.
But now that Grivon saw it, he immediately went to the clan to explain the situation while Sam and the rest of the Grivon's subordinates, went back to his personal estate outside the Clan's estate.
They took the body with them and Sam used his observation ability on the body to see what changed and when he focused on the brain of the person, he immediately understood what is wrong. His guess was completely right.
When Grivon came back, Sam directly said.
"Someone is on the loose on your clan's young members. That guy is a covert killer and trusts me, you wouldn't be able to notice him while killing you while he is standing right in front of your face while talking to you nicely about your last dinner."
"what do you mean?"
"He is using the nerves of the victim to kill them. He is making their brain stress, putting pressure on it with the energy inside the victim's body itself."
"Energy in the victim's body? And the victims don't even know it. With all due respect, Sir Sam, I believe people would notice that their energy is being tampered with. It is impossible for someone to be that dumb."
One of the blue cloaks said with a cold face.
Sam looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"It is possible. If the person is skilled enough, they can do wonders with the energy control."
"Of course, what you are saying is theoretically possible and that is true when you think about the work you do in the lab, but trust me, the direct confrontation wouldn't work like this."
Another blue cloak spoke and Sam frowned this time. He didn't expect that someone would give him this much resistance. He couldn't even think of a proper reason for that.
But he still explained.
"If you have a good grasp of the brain of a person, you can do whatever you want with them. Each nerve there controls a different part of your body. If you have enough understanding, you can make a person cry, laugh, depressed, angry, and even make them completely comatose.
Making them bleed to death through the orifices is almost the easiest task of them all."
"I am also not buying it Sir Sam. No matter how powerful that person is, I think I would be able to put some resistance when they are attacking my brain sneakily. After all, it is impossible to control the energy present within my body.
I think your explanation is too farfetched."
Sam looked at the other blue cloak that just spoke up with a deeper frown.
Grivon also noticed that something is a bit off.
"What is wrong with you guys? Let him explain his piece and we will see what happens later."
"It is not like that young master. Nothing is wrong with us. I know you have a high opinion of Sir Sam and we agree that he has some decent skill in terms of invention, but when it comes to killing, I think we are more well versed and with the number of battles and assassinations we are involved in, I think we would know of skill like this if it existed."
Sam looked at them and Grivon and said.
"That's good then. I also don't want to bother myself too much. Let me go back to the lab, I have a ton of research, and the sooner it is completed the faster I could back home.
And, you can get the details of the next target locations from me at the lab later. Goodbye."
With that, he got out of the estate and went back to the stray dimension.
He doesn't need to convince anyone about his expertise in anything. Sam knew what he is good at and how good he is at those things. It is because of that attitude that he managed to keep himself in the upper hand in most of the situations he had to deal with in his whole life.
After reaching the stray dimension, he wrote the details of the next location on a scroll and gave it to one of the attendants while he went back into the research.
This attendant is like his secretary that helps with everything and when he took those scrolls, he suddenly spoke up, which he doesn't normally do at all.
"Sir Sam, would you mind if I say something?"
Sam was surprised and nodded.
"Please don't take the words of the Blue cloaks the wrong way. They are just a bit jealous of you."
"Jealous, for what? I am not here for their jobs."
"Yes, I know. But they are just jealous because they were Young master Grivon's main priority before you came along. They are his solution for everything. The blue cloaks, protected his businesses, saved him from assassinations, killed people for him, and made him what he is. In fact, they even helped with conquering this stray dimension.
So, the young master used to give them a lot of special treatment, in fact, they are extremely privileged when they were within the stray dimension or young master's personal estate.
But you took that spotlight away from them. You already gave the benefits worth half of what they gained young master in a few years. You didn't that in just a little over a month which made the young master be fond of you too much.
They are a bit threatened."
"So what? I don't see how that is my problem. I don't have time to pamper some spoiled brats. Let them be jealous all they want, if they are stubborn, they are the ones that are going to end up dead."
After that little conversation, Sam went back to the research. Grivon took the list and went to the next location to destroy some people and take some heads back.
This time, this is the head of one of the twelve foundational organizations of Sivan. Since Sam already took one down himself, this is the second one. This is extremely special.
But it took some time for Sivan. A little over a week. But he gained significantly. He gained some new territory to open up his businesses, he gained a lot of money and resources, he gained some artifacts and heirlooms and finally, he managed to gain credit for this from the clan and got their rewards too.
He stayed in the city and celebrated with his blue cloaks team. Of course, they are wearing the blue cloaks openly, they are just acting as his business owners. They are a secret force after all.
As they are sitting in the private room of the bar and drank while cheering and yelling, one of the blue cloaks suddenly held his head in pain.
"Argh. My head."
"Yong, what happened?" The person next to him asked in surprise, but before he got an answer, the blue cloak fell down and started bleeding from the orifices.
Grivon and the rest of the blue cloaks were stunned.
They immediately caught hold of him and realized that he is on his last breath. Grivon didn't think much and quickly took out the injector before directly injecting a shot of basic healing medicine and energy stability medicine.
Meanwhile, one of the blue cloaks injected some more healing medicine and one of them even injected the corrosion resistance medicine out of desperation.
They don't know what to do and to their surprise, they managed to keep the guy alive.
"Go out and check the person. See anyone suspicious."
Grivon yelled out and the leader of the blue cloaks immediately made a move. He went out to look around, but to his dismay, everything looked completely normal.
