Chapter 1302: Capture
Butler Si, returned to the clan and sent the news to his disciples. He didn't just say it is the blue planet though. He also added that there is a possibility that he might arrive at two of its adjacent planets so that they would prepare.
Along with that information, Butler Si also sent the information regarding the organization and its branches that are operating within the vicinities of the Blue Planet and other adjacent planets.
As soon as Disciple One got the information, he sat in the meeting with other remaining disciples.
Currently there are only six of them left to fight. They need to be careful with the current plan.
So, Disciple One gave the brief and explained every detail of the organization. They knew that it would be hard for them to tail Sam around since he would be having a lead over them and they might fall for another trap of his.
After discussing for a while and exchanging ideas, they finally agreed on one and immediately made a move to execute it.
They lost a day just for the meeting, but that means they still have at least four days lead. They are fully determined to make proper use of time to gain an upperhand over Sam.
They arrived at the Blue Planet directly and met with the branch of operations as they made preparations.
Meanwhile, Sam is not exactly idling either.
He is currently on a planet without any of Sivan's subordinate organizations. After he was done with the last branch of the second organization as well as the disciples that are coming at him, he figured that he should be a lot more careful than usual.
From Sivan's memories, he had a decent understanding of these disciples. They did a lot of Sivan's dirty work.
They carried assassinations, they destroyed organizations, they kidnapped people for ransom, they did every dirty deed in the book and they are well coordinated. The only reason, he managed to pull one over them like this, is because of their one big drawback.
They are unbelievably cocky.
They have too much success rate in their endeavors that they are way in over their heads and Sam is sure that they would behave in such a way.
They did exactly that.
From what he understood of Butler Si through Sivan's Memories, Sam is sure that he is a cautious man and he could guess what his orders would have been. He wouldn't believe that he didn't warn them about him, but they still sent just one person and did the same mistake twice.
But now Sam is sure that they wouldn't dare send just one person again. His advantage was over but he still needs to keep his upperhand in the exchange for a while.
So, he decided to make some extra preparations.
At this moment, he is making the liquid energy. Even though, he doesn't have elemental affinity for now, he is sure he can still do wonders with this liquid energy. Particularly, with the control of energy he now has, it would a lot easier to make it by himself.
But the problem is, he cannot wait and make it in large bulk quantities and without the supporting formations and inscription arrays he used when he was trying to mass produce the liquid energy, even with the advantages of the body, he would still fall short.
So, he would have limited supply of these liquid energy cells. But he has a separate plan arranged for them.
For the next five days, he focused on creating the energy cells and after he obtained the required amount, he decided to make his move.
But his first target wasn't the blue planet. It is the planet adjacent to that and when he arrived, there is no resistance whatsoever in the branch, he was able to smoothly sail through it.
After he was done there, Sam made sure that the word of it spread rapidly by bribing the merchants.
The branch only took a day to deal with and he took a day off. He really wants to make sure that the disciples would definitely be at his next possible location.
Only after that did he got to the Blue Planet to take care of the branch. Even though he didn't have any luck with the disciples in the first branch, he is still careful. He didn't directly go after the branch. He changed his attire a little and planned something special.
He hired a few small mercenaries to create a small diversion for himself.
On the day Sam arrived at the city of the branch he was targeting, the disciples are eagerly waiting for his entry too. In the past few days, they took over guard detail and the subordinates of this branch and kept a tight watch over this.
They gave out the details on how Sam looks and currently they are all acting as eyes for them.
The disciples are a bit tense, after all the time frame their teacher gave was that of five to eight days and it is already the sixth day, so they are a bit tense.
But their tension was gone, when the communication token in disciple one gave an alert. He immediately activated it and spoke.
"Did the target arrive?"
"Yes, sir. A person fitting the target description is coming from the west city gate, he is a hundred meters away and is slowly approaching the city."
The disciples felt extremely delighted by this, they got ready to move, but at this moment, Discple Two's communication token also got an alert.
They were confused.
He activated the token and asked.
"What happened?"
"A person fitting the target description is coming towards the eastern city gate. He is currently going through the toll."
While the disciples were baffled, another alert came for Disciple four.
"The target could be seen in the Inn Street. He is currently entering the bar. What action should we take?"
The disciples were dumbfounded.
But that is not the end of it.
"Target is currently entering the brothel on fifth street."
"Target is drinking in a bar near the southern gate."
"Target entered the city from the Northern Gate."
One after the other the alerts kept on coming and the disciples were dumbfounded.
They could immediately guess what is happening. They knew for sure that these people are arranged by Sam.
This is a really good distraction.
The disciples discussed and immediately came to an agreement.
"All guards and soldiers, you would be coming across more than one person that fits the target description. Detain everyone of them. Do not let a single one go, detain everyone of them. Call back if there is even the slightest resistance from any of them."
After the order was passed down, everyone the guards immediately made a move to capture the people that came dressed like Sam.
The city was in chaos as soon as they did though. Because not all the targets just played along properly and surrendered. There was slight resistance from every one of them and the resistance is not them directly going against the guards, rather they caused chaos in their surroundings. They destroyed some infrastructure, created some terror in the citizens, and started running around.
The guards immediately called back and informed the disciples about this, but the disciples didn't make a move yet.
Because along with the information about the resistance, they are also informed about how they are putting up the resistance.
The disciples immediately eliminated all the targets that have an elemental affinity. No matter what form it is, they are sure that Sam didn't have any elemental affinity.
That eliminated two-third of the targets.
The rest of the targets are being captured one after another and every target that was caught was also eliminated.
After ten more minutes, they finally managed to narrow down targets to two people who managed to get past them without any elemental attacks and killed a few guards before they ran out of the city.
Disciples decided to split up into two groups and ran out of the estate.
They are excited to capture Sam. Even though this didn't go as well as they planned it to be, they are really looking forward to capturing Sam and torturing him because of what he did to their fellow disciples.
The two groups of three didn't take long to catch up with the two most plausible targets.
Not only did they catch up, they even cornered him by surrounding him.
The disciples didn't take the chances though. They took out the formation discs they prepared beforehand and placed them around the target. Even though they are sure that one of the two is not their real target, they decided to be extra cautious.
Disciple One took out his communication token and contacted the other group.
"Disciple two, how is your situation?"
"Captured the target, we placed the formations too. What about you?"
"Same here. Check the target. Whoever got the wrong one will meet the other. Don't act till all six of us are together."
