Chapter 1677: Questions
Everyone was shocked. Never did anyone expect that Sam belonged to a race that has wings on its backs.
They thought he is just a normal human. But to their surprise, he is not.
But technically, he doesn't belong to any particular race at this point. With the number of bloodlines in his body and including the vampire genetics, he should be considered a completely new race.
As for the beastly aura that is coming from him. The Roc's aura along with the killing intent.
Very few people in the surroundings picked it up and even among them, even fewer people recognized it. Kach is one of the few.
He was shocked. He looked at Sam as he flew into the sky and stopped the falcons in their tracks. As they were surrounded by his aura, they didn't dare make a move.
They just hovered there and looked at him as if they are waiting for his command.
After all, the bloodline of Sky sovereign Roc in undisputed among all bird-type beasts. Even among other beasts, there are very few that are on equal footing with it.
These two falcons are nowhere near that level and they recognized it.
They crowed at Sam as if asking what they ought to do.
Sam extended his hands and gestured for them to get down.
They did as he told them to and peacefully landed on the ground. They didn't have that menacing aura anymore. They are peaceful, calm, and even a bit afraid.
Sam landed on the ground along with them. His wings disappeared. He walked towards them and tapped their heads as they bowed to him.
"Its done. Now, let's talk about the questions that I want to ask."
Sam spoke as he glared at the young master.
It just happened in two minutes.
Within two minutes, the birds were tamed. Of course, it couldn't be considered taming, more like subduing them. But still, they became obedient to him and they will do whatever he says.
Everyone is shocked. Kach is the only one who made sense of this situation. What baffled him most is the presence of a beastly aura coming from Sam instead of the taming itself.
If the beastly aura is present, then this taming speed is natural. It is almost like a natural law.
While everyone was stunned including the young master in question, Brig came running as he locked his aura on Sam.
Sam looked at him calmly and spoke.
"Before you make a move, just give me a few moments. I have something to show you. I don't know what information you might have gotten in this short while, but the information that'll come out of this guy's mouth will be enough to prove my claim."
Sam pointed his hand at the young master.
Brig frowned and looked around.
"What's the situation here? What happened?"
Sam smiled and explained what happened.
"So, now this guy owes me some truths. I will ask five questions and you will know what I said is true."
Brig looked at his subordinates and spoke.
"Bring him in."
The Clan1 young master was carried inside by the subordinates. He wanted to resist, he wanted to use his clan's name, but it didn't work.
Brig didn't give a rat's ass about the background and threats.
Inside the room on the first floor.
Sam sat in front of the young master and spoke.
"First question. Why did your family invest in capturing these falcons all of a sudden, when they didn't do so before, just to court miss Yana? What changed?"
Clan1 young master didn't want to speak. He wanted to resist to the best of his abilities. But it was all for naught. The soul contracted acted up and he had to open his mouth.
"According to what my clan said, the situation has changed. It is essential for us to create a relationship with Brig. And it has been proven that Miss Yana is the only way to get close to Brig.
So, the clan decided that there is no point in sparing an expense."
Speaking up to this point, the young master tried to resist. But he was unable to do that. He could feel his soul trying to tear itself apart as he tried to resist the urge to speak and he gave in.
"The clan said that Brig is going to gain something extraordinary and he will become a power to reckon with. Whoever has whatever he is gaining will become the core of a very powerful group.
So, the clan is planning to either get close to Brig to establish the relationship and as part of it, they made me do this. They deployed everyone and captured the Falcons within an hour. It helped that we are already watching the falcons and wanted to use it as a trump card to win over Yana and we deployed it right away."
"How does your clan know that he is going to gain something extraordinary?" Sam asked.
"From what I learned, they got this information from the god we worship. So, there is no doubt in the credibility of this information."
"What is your contingency plan if this doesn't work?"
"We gained information that Clan2 and Clan3 are also going to make their move today to court Yana. If Yana doesn't accept me, my plan is to make sure that there is a conflict between Brig and those two clan young masters."
"What is your plan to do that?"
"Kidnap Yana and the two young masters and create a scene that looked like the two young masters got together and planned the kidnap. Then make it look like they kidnapped her for the technique.
That way, all of them will fall out. We are then planning to take advantage of the chaos."
"How are you planning to do that?"
"I don't know what the exact plan is after that. There is not a single hint about it in the information given to me."
"Final question. Do you really like Yana? Why are trying so hard to court her?"
"I don't really have any feelings for her. She is not really that talented. Apart from her looks and her father, she has nothing else to offer.
That most she could ever be is a political pawn in a marriage. Even the mistress I have is much more useful than her."
Sam looked at Yana who listened to this with a smile.
He doesn't know why he did that. He just wanted to mess around with her a bit, because of how cheeky her behavior is.
He felt like she could use some reality check like this once in a while.
Sam then looked at Brig, whose face is dark with anger and embarrassment.
"Now, do you believe my words? Trust me, if not for the fact that I have an obligation to save your ass and keep you from losing the technique, I wouldn't have cared less about your clan and your status.
There is nothing to gain for me and there is not much your clan can even offer or entice me with.
So, you can shove your fear to the side.
Now, let's discuss the details about these six clans so that I can create a proper plan for you."
"Just because your information is true, doesn't mean your prowess matches that information.
We will figure this out ourselves. But you can join our discussion. We still don't know what your true intentions are and what you are hiding from us.
But at least for now, I will keep you near me. But before we proceed to that.
He turned to the young master.
"I still have some questions to ask you. What are the plans for Clan 2 and Clan 3? I am sure you don't need a stupid bet and a soul contract from me to give me an answer for that, right?"
The young master gulped in nervousness. He knew that he screwed up big time as soon as Sam won the bet. Now, all he can do is think of a way to minimize the damage.
And one way to do that is to reduce Brig's anger towards his clan and divert it to others. Maybe he can try to find a way to even benefit from this.
So, he sang like a little bird. He completely revealed all the details he knew about the plans of Clan 2 and Clan 3 without hiding anything.
Hearing those plans, Sam couldn't help but chuckle.
"I have a suggestion. Keep the news of the young master's situation hidden. Keep all the witnesses under lockdown for now.
We need to reveal the information that this young master failed, but we don't need to let them know all the details. In that way, they will be much more confident with their approach."
Brig wanted to retort, but he also knew that is actually a good plan. Once all the details are known, particularly the small misunderstanding between Kach and Yana, Sam created, things will not go as smoothly as they are now.
