Chapter 1392: Fig
The briefing was done.
"You guys prepare the people and resources for the first step of the plan. You guys need to start in the next two days and also Ms. Giyon, I would help if you can give any information on the movements of the people that are supporting Mingiv's father and Grand Elder Pon.
They would be the first idiots that are going to make the move against me. It would help if I could get some information from you. That would make things easier for me."
"What would make it easier? You need to get to the stray realm and stay there until we come back alright. Don't walk around and become a target."
"Becoming a target? I am already one."
Giyon thought for a moment and said.
"Sam, tell me the truth. What exactly is your plan with the pissing off the Clan's leader. Don't give the same excuse you said the last time. I am pretty sure that you are not doing this just to draw the line and draw out some people to kill Malgav in the end.
There is going to be something more than that and you are hiding it from us for some reason. What is it?"
Sam stood there and looked at her with a thoughtful expression and sighed.
"Fuck it, there is not much point in telling you guys anyway. I have some plan in mind, for that I need to throw the clan into a bit of chaos. I don't want to tell the details, because there is no point in you guys knowing if this doesn't succeed.
At first, I wanted to do it a bit discreetly, but the situation with the Clan's head at the dinner is way too good to pass up and I didn't have to lie much. Everything I said to him is true and I wouldn't get any other chance to piss him off better than that.
If you guys want, I can explain it to you, but if you can trust me, I will continue on with it on my own."
Grivon and Giyon looked at Sam with a bit of skepticism. But they didn't ask any more questions.
"Just don't go overboard. I believe with how complacent the clan has been, a bit of chaos could turn their chins a bit downward. But make sure that not all of it is lost." Giyon said those words and left.
Grivon wanted to say something too but hesitated.
Sam smiled and said.
"Don't worry, you wouldn't lose anything. I will leave your clan in your hands before I leave. Didn't I already give you my word? It is a matter of my pride, since I gave you my word, I am going to fulfill it. In fact, even this plan will help me do that."
Grivon just sighed and nodded.
"I will trust you. But like Sister Giyon said. Don't go overboard. But don't get yourself killed. It is still better if you stay in the stray realm and save yourself while you are away, but if you are moving outside, keep in contact with my parents and uncle.
Many clan members might not know what they are outside the clan and what their names and faces could mean in the outside world far away, but they know they are strong and even the clan leader has to stay away from them if things go south.
So, ask for their help if that is what it is needed for you to be safe."
"Don't worry. I have way too much to do and way too many people to kill to die like this. Even if your whole clan goes to hell, I will still be alive."
Sam sent him off and went back to the stray realm.
He needs to make some other preparations for this plan.
For now, he has felt that he doesn't need to worry too much about the league of Blood Iron. Even though there is more than one and a half years for his assignment to go cold, with Snake Bitch getting such a warning, the word is bound to spread.
Even if she didn't spread it, the next league member that is bound to come will be stronger than her or at least of the same strength as her and it is possible for that person to know the royal nicknames of these people and there is a chance they would be scared off too.
All he has to think of is a way to avoid getting killed by Sivan's goons and then make sure that the people from the Gaya clan don't kill him for the businesses and the profits he could give them.
For the next two days, he didn't come out of the stray realm and made preparations.
After two days, Giyon and Grivon left the clan in a high-profile way and Giyon gave Sam access to her information network to get some intelligence regarding the movements of the people that might make a move against him.
But even after Giyon and Grivon are left for two days, nobody showed any obvious signs.
Apart from the fact that the meetings of the Clan's leader have increased a lot as the rumors of Sam's defiance and disgust towards him were spread.
Sam kept on observing the people that are meeting him and noticed that most of them are the ones that support the Grand elder Pon and some are the people that are in charge of the financials of the clan.
Sam didn't worry about most meetings, but there is one meeting that gained his attention.
An elder whom even Giyon was wary of a bit and also the one who he is hoping to make a move.
He is not even that much of an authoritative figure. But he is a peculiar guy that is notorious for his weird decisions.
For example, he is the same guy who was actually a successor candidate alongside Mingiv and Giyon, but instead, he gave up right before even the race started and became an elder.
He is actually the youngest elder in the clan's history.
But he never attends clan meetings. He never comes to meet with the clan leader and he never cooperates with the elders and other youngsters of the clan.
He conducts various businesses and according to Giyon he is almost indirectly controlling a realm's worth of resources and almost a force equivalent to that of one of Sivan's twelve organizations.
He is doing it secretly, but he is doing it with the partnership of the clan. He is not hoarding them up for himself. He is contributing everything to the clan and if Giyon's information is a hundred percent accurate, he is a direct subordinate of the Clan leader at the moment.
For him to have a meeting with the clan leader, this must be something important.
So, Sam immediately called the intelligence officer that is in charge of the info regarding the clan leader and his subordinates.
"I need to get the details of the meeting of Elder Fig and the clan leader. Even if we cannot get the internal info of what exactly happened in the meeting, I need to find out whether he is deploying any of his own subordinates here or if he is leaving completely without any traces.
If he is staying within the city or the clan, I need to know how many people he is commanding here.
Everything you could think of. When can you get it for me?"
"By tomorrow. We have a cold agent within the Clan leader's residence, I will see if we can contact him and get the information needed from the meeting. But no promises though.
The information would be with by tomorrow night."
"Thank you so much. That would be all for now."
That night Sam went through everything to see if he would be able to find any anomaly and in process, he divided all notable clan members into different categories.
The first one is actually, the ones on the side of Grivon and Giyon. Every elder that is following the Grandfather of Grivon is directly on that side. They are in complete opposition to anything that is related to harming Sam.
It seems like the old man is very concerned about Grivon's interests which might lose out when Sam is touched.
These are called the Supporting Side.
The second one is obviously the opposing side.
This includes everyone that is directly under the subordination of Grand Elder Pon and some who are working to improve the financial side of the clan with the clan businesses.
They all want a piece of Sam and his inventions.
There is one group that he couldn't place a proper name on and that is the Neutral Side. The neutral side doesn't mean they are not a harm to him. They are just the direct subordinates of the Clan's leader.
They keep the lowest profile and they show the least eagerness in craving for power and authority.
The only reason even Sam took notice of them is because of Giyon's information on their secret activities and right now, even though the possibility is that the opposing side is the one that makes the move, he is most looking forward to seeing if the neutral side makes any move.
He wants to see the reaction of the Clan leader for the humiliation Sam caused him.
