Chapter 951: Epiphany
Agar, The Five elemental King and the Saber Monarch were stunned in the spot. Particularly, the Saber Monarch. He looked at Sam's face.
It is filled with irritation and frustration. He is extremely familiar with that expression, because he enjoyed the annoyance on people's faces. He enjoyed annoying them and watching them feel helpless at the same time, as they couldn't do anything about it.
All this while, within the surrounding realms and on the same cultivation level, nobody could match him. The only person who could be stronger than him is the Five elemental King but his cultivation level was weaker than him in the past.
So, he got away with everything he had done. The annoying chatter, the irritating condescension. This almost became a habit to him that he didn't save it even in front of a person who is desperately trying his best to save him from this prison.
But now he realized he seemed to have pushed the buttons too far and too long.
Sam stood there, even though there is frustration on his face, there is not a hint of lie. It is brutally honest. And his tone also suggested that he is not lying.
So, either he is the greatest bluffer there is or he is telling the truth.
And this is not something he could take a chance on.
So, he decided to take Sam's advise and asked Agar.
"What happened to your tribe Agar?"
Agar took a deep breath and explained the situation about how the Solar Fragment tribe tried to deal with Sam, but instead they were dealt with by him. Particularly the large rocket that actually threw half of the tribe into a spatial chaos.
"Are you telling the truth, Agar? You are not bluffing for him are you?" The Saber Monarch asked once again as he looked at Sam's determined eyes.
"I don't have a need to." She replied calmly.
The Saber Monarch still wanted to probe a little and said.
"Even if you can do that, I don't believe you have ways to save yourself from such a large scale explosion that could kill me. You are bluffing. And it is too much, if you want some peace, you could have just said so. We are all friends here aren't we?"
He wanted to dilute the tension a bit as he smiled and said.
Sam didn't flinch and his frown didn't recede.
"Listen, Saber Monarch. It seems like you have had a decent life until now and it must have been smooth sailing. It must have been good knowing that you don't have any competitors within the same level and you can roam around a bunch of realms banging every woman you want.
I know that feeling actually. In fact, I experienced an even stronger feeling. Imagine being a Nascent but can walk around Transcendent stage cultivators and Consummate stage cultivators like it was a backyard. Everyone wants to kill you, but they are afraid to even show those intentions.
I have experienced that, I know how addicting that could be. But don't you dare satiate your addictions on me. Because, I might not be your match in strength, but I have a hundred ways to kill you and fifty of them are on top of my head that I could execute right this moment. If my planning is right, I could make you a fugitive that runs through the same realms you once roamed free.
So, don't piss me off too much and stay put if you want to get out of here."
The Saber Monarch looked at Sam in the eyes for a few seconds before saying.
"You think you can scare me like that?"
"I already did. Why do you think you didn't take your saber out and slash me already. You know deep inside that if I am right, you would die here as soon as you take that saber out. So, now that we established that, let us discuss something.
I am not taking you out of here for free. You need to work for me for a decade. Just like how the Five-Elemental King is working for me.
I will pay you the same as the Five elemental King and you have to work for me just like he does. So, after you come to terms with that, you can come and talk to me. Until then we are strangers. But don't you dare think you can lie your way through this, because the Five_elemental King might not have heart to kill you, but he would sure as hell break your bones and hold you back. Now that you guys are of same cultivation level, I don't think I need to say whether you are his match or not.
And the finally, your way of speaking is not really as amusing as you think. In fact, it is downright annoying, so shut the fuck up and let me do my work."
With that, Sam turned back and went to a relatively calmer place in the maze and started his experiments again.
He already has an epiphany on how this thing works, but the location of core is what stumped him. Once he got the location of the core, they can escape easily.
But he couldn't find it anywhere within the formation.
At least for the next few days, the disturbance from the Saber Monarch has reduced, in fact he couldn't even see that guy at all.
But after the third day, Sam decided that it is time for some relaxation and calm his mind, so he took out a deer from the divine dimension and started preparing it for some grilled meet.
At this moment, the Saber Monarch came to him as he cooked the meat and said.
"It has been a while since I ate something. Do you mind sharing?" Sam gestured him to sit down and as they ate, the Saber monarch said in a soft voice.
"I am sorry for how I behaved earlier. It is just a force of habit. I like making people feel helpless and annoyed, it is just a personal problem. I am really sorry and thank you for your efforts."
Sam looked at him with squinted eyes with a hint of suspicion.
"It is hard to believe that you changed that quickly."
"Well, I had a hard talk with Five-Eloemental King. I am okay with working for you for a decade, but I want your help with something."
"What is it?"
"My girlfriend. She is currently imprisoned in her own family, I have to go there and release her."
"I heard she has a fiancé. What if they are already married?"
"So, what? She is still my girl and she doesn't like the marriage. So, I will just take her away from him."
"I heard you are quite a player. How did you manage to make a woman fall in love with you?"
"That is the secret.Every woman I have been with has fallen in love with me. I don't do casual sex or sex in exchange for something. In fact the prostitutes don't even take my money and that is their profession and my girlfriend likes that.
She likes me making all the people fall in love with me and she likes the fact how I fall in love with them in the process and on top of all that, she likes it that I love her the most no matter how many woman I love."
"Is it even possible? Loving all those woman at the same time?"
"Yes, it is. It is just you need to convince the women that you can love them equally, that they are special to you in some way and most of all, you need to make sure that they feel you are worth it. The women that love me all think that it is worth it even if they have to share me.
If you can do that. You can be as many woman as you can."
"Well, good for you. Anyway, deal accepted. Now all we have to do is get out of here."
"Are you sure the core is within the formation?"
"Yes, it should be. Even though it is possible to keep the core out of the formation, it is extremely difficult to do that when the formation has this many nodes. It would be hard to connect all of them out of this formation, particularly when they are moving and just to be sure for the past few days I have been doing all the elimination I could get the location of the core and it is definitely not outside.
Do you know how peaceful it is for me for the past few days It is almost like you didn't even exist in the maze? Thanks for that. I am now closer than ever."
"Of course, it is easy. I just had to make sure that I am not in the place you are at the moment and the possible places you could go after, so I just stayed in the places that you have already been."
And that is the moment, that Sam had the epiphany he needed.
