Chapter 1031: Explosions
Sam went into deep thought on how to deal with the current situation.
From the looks of it, he needs to find a way to make sure these five people don't die at all, or even if they die, he shouldn't let anyone know that this is connected to him.
"Leave them be for now. Just try and find out any information on what they are doing and who they are suspecting the most. We will proceed with the plan accordingly."
Kiran went back and he tried his best to get some information. For the next two days, there is not much activity from Sam's side.
On the third day, Davon called for a meeting and all the young and old members of the family had to attend including the family head.
"We made some initial investigation. We couldn't find the cause of the explosion at the city guard post. But it looked like it was made by a concentration explosion of fire elemental energy. Not the flames, the energy exploded in the raw form.
As for our primary suspect, we don't believe it is some high-level power and the two people that killed the investigators and the missing investigators might also be related to this case. We think they are using this as a distraction so that we wouldn't focus on them.
The primary suspect itself is a guy named Sam.
We don't know his exact cultivation level, but it should be around the Astral Plane Initiation at the moment. He is also the one that came after our realm of the undead."
"An Astral Plane Initiation cultivator managed to do all of this?" The Family head couldn't believe it.
"I know it is unbelievable, but you have to believe it. He is good at using the environment to his advantage. He would at most be a Pre-transcendent stage of Mortal Plane cultivator when he dealt with the realm of the undead.
But he managed to kill an astral plane vampire.
He might be in Astral Plane now, what do you think he can accomplish now uncle?
If possible, I would have recruited that guy into the sect under our wing, but it seems like there is some enmity with our family. I would like to meet with him while we can still reconcile.
Anyway, the realm of the undead is actually inaccessible to anyone else other than us, but he managed to make his way there. We don't know the exact reason, but from the information my father gathered at that time, he helped the dwarves get through the war between the realm of the undead and the banished realm.
So, send an envoy to the Dwarven realm that has connections with the Banished realm and talk with some dwarves that came from the banished realm after that. They would surely know something about him.
He is the only one who has the ability to enter a no-access area without anyone noticing. He might have been in our realm, our own city for all we know.
He is our primary target.
After we get the initial information from the Banished realm, we will discuss the rest of the plan.
Meanwhile, my friends will supervise different departments to ensure our defenses will not be breached again. The family must cooperate with them."
With that the meeting ended.
Kiran was stunned, he immediately went to a brothel after the meeting and drugged the woman he hired before contacting Sam with a communication token and said.
"Boss, Davon has his eyes on you. He said something about the banished realm and dwarves. They are sending an envoy. I couldn't understand what it is."
Sam was a bit surprised, he didn't know that someone investigated the undead realm. He had a hunch that might be the case, but he didn't expect them to connect the dots this fast. Going to a dwarven family is really the best thing to do at the moment.
Sam thought of something and said.
"Try to find out who the envoy is if you can. If you can't mark an elder who is quite high profile but doesn't have any actual substance.
He needs to be someone who would be extremely known to all the subordinate realms, but he wouldn't have any core foundation and sway within the family."
"I understand. But is this really okay? This Davon guy and his friends are quite something. They seem to be good at what they do.
They even managed to find some clues in the explosion we caused at the city guard post."
"Don't worry too much. Tell me if you find the envoy. We will proceed with our plan. Oh by the way, try to find some scum of the family. The worst of the worst. I am sure there are other young masters who are rotten to the core."
That evening Kiran came with some more information.
The envoy's identity was not actually hidden. Along with that, he marked a few young masters.
Sam then explained the next step of the plan.
The envoy was scheduled to start his journey two days later as the family is preparing for some gift to the Dwarven tribe.
Sam looked through the information of the young masters and kept on sending instructions to Kiran.
The night before the departure of the envoy, the plan was set in the motion.
Kiran went to a bar that night alone and sat at the table drinking in a private room.
He went out for a second to talk with someone on the street and came back. But this time there is a change in his movements which no one seemed to have noticed as everyone tried to ignore him.
But the reason for the change is that the one that came back in is the undead created from the body of the true owner of the current identity.
Generally, the body would have been useless for necromancy after this many days. But this is the result of one of the by-products of Sam's research this time.
While researching the liquefying process, he managed to create some new things. He doesn't know if they existed, but he is sure they do now.
One of them is an undead energy liquid.
If used in a moderate amount, it can make the dead body in a preservative state. The body would possess all the properties of an undead except for that undead consciousness.
This helps him preserve the body and he can make it undead after some time.
He preserved the body of this guy and the spies they killed in that liquid to use them later and now is one of those times.
After the undead entered the private room once again, it took out one of those battery-sized transparent liquid containers, twisted it slightly, and then slammed it hard on the table.
*BOOM*
The fire elemental explosion caused the wall to which the undead leaned on to crash and the explosion spread to the next room and 'coincidentally' the envoy who should be going to the trip is also there.
Even though the explosion didn't hit him directly, half of his body directly burned through and he died.
The whole area turned into chaos.
Everyone is running away and the city guards were alerted.
But soon the chaos expanded to the other areas of the city.
The explosions happened in different places and different young masters died directly.
Some of them died because Sia and Gran used these liquid containers.
Some of them died by previously planted containers.
But all of them died with fire elemental explosions.
The news traveled to Davon fast and he deployed his friends to check the explosions, while he went to the site of the envoy's death.
He felt like the envoy's death is a bit suspicious and if it was aimed at the envoy directly, then Sam would be their target and it would confirm their suspicions.
But if it is a mere coincidence they would end up in a goose chase.
It is almost as if the other party wanted to throw him into this difficult situation.
He couldn't help but overthink all the other possibilities.
It is making him feel a bit frustrated.
But what caused him the epitome of frustration is the aftermath that came after the explosions.
As soon as he and his friends returned to the family estate, the elders who lost their sons started making a fuss.
Davon had the urge to break open their skulls instantly, but he controlled his anger with a lot of effort and tried to mitigate them as much as possible.
In normal circumstances, they would have bowed down if Davon asked to due to his disciple status, but even these people have times that they wouldn't care about the etiquette and fear.
Meanwhile, Kiran finally didn't have to play the character of some pain-in-the-ass young master and went back.
But as soon as he entered the inn, Sam is ready with another dead body.
"There is no time to waste, time for the next step of the plan."
