Moriya led them to a large clearing in the middle of the forest.
There is a stage in the hexagonal stage in the middle and it is surrounded by six seating arrangements each facing a side of the hexagon.
For every seating arrangement, there is the main seat in which the leader of that particular major power sat down.
Only two of them are standing right now and they are Thunder God temple head and another man who is in his early thirties.
They are staring daggers at each other.
"Seems like your Beast faction is having it easy for a long time, how dare you threaten me and ask me to handover a disciple of thunder god temple? Even your father didn't dare to talk to me like that." Thunder god temple head yelled at the man.
"Hmph. This is the final chance; I wouldn't ask again. Handover Sam. Or else we wouldn't guarantee the lives of the candidates of thunder god temple in the match."
Sam was stunned when he heard these words and so did the rest of the candidates.
The seating positions of the Beast faction and the Thunder god temple are adjacent and Sam could hear the disciples of the Beast faction talking about him.
They are openly pointing at him and talking without restraint.
"Look, that is the bastard of our Beast faction. His father is sc.u.m and traitor and heard this guy is no better."
"Yeah, I heard that this Bastard even used the resources of our Faction his father stole and made a name for himself. Otherwise, where would he get all those skills and become an expert in so many professions?"
"*Scoff* A traitor's son can only be a bastard, what can you expect from him?"
.
.
.
Everyone is calling him bastard, traitor, sc.u.m, and so on. The Beast faction head is coldly observing him with a faint smirk.
He actually doesn't have any need for the thunder god temple to hand over Sam.
He just wanted to make Sam feel ostracized and deal with some mental blows to his confidence. Which, a young man can tolerate being called a Bastard and sc.u.m by the peers?
By now, all the other candidates from different powers are looking at Sam weirdly.
They are whispering between themselves.
This is what the beast faction head wanted. And he is rejoicing when he saw Sam's changed expression.
His petty trick is working. If thunder god temple, really thought about handing Sam over, it would have been even better because, then Sam will lose his will to fight, because according to him, Sam's position was bought over with a shadow sword.
At least., that is what the world knew about.
By this time, even the candidates irrespective of the age group are all looking at Sam and that includes, the thunder god temple's candidates too.
Only two people at the scene are having different expressions than the rest. Philip and Jack immediately came to either side of Sam and put their hands over his shoulders.
They knew how crazy Sam would get when he hears the word bastard. He would lose his mind and go crazy like a beast.
At the Starwood academy, the situation is not any different, in that crazy state, Sam can only think about one thing clearly and that is torture. He would become a genius psycho killer.
But today, the situation is different, Sam is surrounded by too many powerful people, he would die the minute he let loose.
Sam already lost all the reason, when the candidates from the Beast faction started calling him out.
He started emitting an immense amount of blood l.u.s.t. With all the mental strength he had acc.u.mulated, he only has one drawback and that is whenever he was called some names, he couldn't control himself.
The bloodl.u.s.t is so high and intense, that the normal candidates cannot even understand or recognize it.
At this moment, all the big wigs started looked at Sam with an examining expression and at this exact moment, Philip and Jack put their hands over his shoulders.
Sam's fists are clenched and veins are visible on his hands and his forehead. He is gritting his teeth really hard and two of them can even hear it.
His eyes are in so much frenzy that they have never seen eyes like that before. It is like a hungry beast that woke up from a long sleep because of some disturbance caused by other beings.
But that is their greatest mistake, because the beast which has forgotten about its hunger and is sleeping peacefully, now wants to Binge eat to satiate its hunger. It wants to hunt like crazy.
Philip is extremely afraid, that Sam would do something crazy.
In this state, he would only be clear about killing using all the methods in his arsenal.
They wanted to cover Sam from everyone else's vision. Moriya who is the closest one with the sharpest senses looked at Sam. He could feel the killing intent and a vague beastly aura which is continuously increasing as he stood there.
Philip noticed this and he slowly started whispering in Sam's ears.
"Sam. Get a hold of yourselves. Sam, it's okay. You are not one just because they call you. Get a hold of yourselves. Sam, a mountain shouldn't give a shit for the dogs' barks.
Get a hold of yourselves.
Sam, I am here, Jack is here, Watt is still waiting for us in the Beast faction. Sam Please."
He didn't know what to say, but he couldn't not say anything. He has to get Sam out of his frenzied state.
Only after the last sentence, Sam started controlling his aura, but the Beast Faction candidates are not stopping there. Sam is out of his frenzy.
But he couldn't control his killing intent.
After all, go near an orphan who lives in a shelter home and try calling him a Bastard. If he doesn't try to beat the crap out of that person, then at least curse the shit out.
That is if the person is living in an orphanage.
And what kind of childhood did Sam have? He was abused mentally, physically, and s.e.x.u.a.lly. And they always give the only reason for that, him being a Bastard child that his parents didn't want. He doesn't know what circ.u.mstances led them to abandon him.
But he never loathed any other person than he loathed his parents.
He loathed himself for being born.
He loathed the whole world for calling him a bastard. After all, he didn't ask to be born. He complained, cried, endured, and became the twisted person he was.
But there is one thing he couldn't get out of his system and that is someone calling him a Bastard.
He slaughtered every person that called him a Bastard in his previous life and the only person that survived is Philip's brother and that is because of the favor Philip did when he is in the lowest point of this life.
But now, there are people calling him a Bastard. At least the people from the Beast faction are doing that and he can hear them clearly.
Sam tried to calm down a little bit, Philip who noticed his effort couldn't think of a solution and asked Moriya.
"Can we just challenge the Beast faction first?" All the spectators were stunned, except for Jack, he is holding Sam's right arm tightly to not let him go crazy.
Moriya was at a loss for words. He couldn't understand the situation except for the fact that Sam desperately wants to kill someone.
Moriya looked at the temple head who looked at the Beast Faction head and said.
"Since, you want to take him away so bad, let us make a deal. The other four powers will do lotteries in selecting their first match, and we will start with the Grand realm candidates.
Beast Faction Vs Thunder god temple. An all-out battle. The winner will only be decided if one of the teams' candidates including the reserve members.
If you want to take him away win him over."
When the people, heard it, they are completely stunned. They didn't expect that temple-head would propose something so brutal.
Sam is the only one who is excited.
"Team Battle?" Beast Faction head asked.
"Whatever way you wish it to be."
"Team Battle, then."
Sam suddenly grinned from ear to ear in an extremely creepy way and said to the rest of the team.
"Just hold them on the stage, don't let them escape. You don't even have to attack them."
Sam didn't even wait for anyone's reply and just jumped on the stage.
The Hexagonal stage is more than a thousand square yards. So, it is large enough for all of them to battle. They could even play tennis on it.
The Beast Faction head looked at the candidates and smiled.
"Get their heads and let the thunder god temple get down from their high horse. You will be given Rank 6 beast meat for your beasts."
The candidates immediately grew excited and went on the stage.
