Sam looked at the Blue cloaks standing in front of him with a look of amusement. They all had embarrassed expressions on their face and Grivon in particular wants to bury his head and never show it again.
But he has to wear some thick skin and ask Sam for help.
Only when this happened right in front of them did they manage to believe what Sam said about the killer.
Sam placed his hand on the brain of the blue cloak and used his observation ability. He then checked the rest of his body.
"He is doing fine. But he would need a lot of rest. He wouldn't be able to walk properly for a few weeks and it would take even more for him to fight like before and if he can reach the full performance as before, we have to wait and see how severe the nerve damage is."
"You mean to say that there is a chance that he wouldn't be able to recover fully?" One of the blue cloaks asked hurriedly.
"Yes, that is exactly what I mean. Good job on injecting all those shots, one common point on those shots is that energy will become slow and stable inside the body for a moment and that disrupted the killer's actions.
From the looks of it, he controlled the energy within the body and made it go through the nervous system inside the body to the brain. But the energy stability, made it stagnant in one spot and the rest of the process also halted.
He might have thought, he was caught and he escaped immediately without finishing the deed.
I must say that you also got lucky this time. So, just hope that you are as lucky the other times."
"It can't be. I was right there. I was sitting right in front of him. How could I not sense the energy fluctuations when someone that close to me is getting attacked."
The leader of the blue cloaks said agitatedly and looked at Sam for an explanation, but all he got was a shrug.
Sam didn't bother much and was about to go back to research.
"Young master Grivon, let's take him to the clan healer. I want to get their opinion. I still believe it is the virus."
One of the blue cloaks said and Sam gave him a look of surprise.
"If it is the virus, then he shouldn't have been saved just like that. He would have died no matter what medicines we injected in. The clan elders already said so. They cannot find any reaction to the normal medicine in the blood cells of the infected people. They couldn't even identify the virus."
"Maybe, they managed to react to this medicine because of the different methods of ingestion. Or the cure for that virus infection must have been in that injection itself. Who knows."
The blue cloak replied and looked at Sam coldly.
Sam frowned and this time, it is not out of confusion, he is clearly annoyed this time. He turned around and looked at him straight into the eyes with a hint of killing intent flashing now and then.
"What does that supposed to mean?" Sam asked before Grivon could even speak.
"After all, a virus and the antidote are great ways to increase the income. Mari clan does this all the time. They will let a mild plague fall on a nation or a planet and sell the antidote later. It is not like it is a new practice. It wouldn't take a genius to figure out to put the dots together." The rest of the blue cloaks also looked at Sam coldly by now and they spread out like a fan, almost as if they are circling him.
"That's right. All it takes is an idiot with half a brain." Sam said with an equally cold tone. He didn't react for the blue cloaks circling him. He just focused on that one guy.
The blue cloaks are all strong, but the strongest of them is an Initial stage Consuammte level cultivator.
Sam's team is stronger than them by many times. He is not the least bit intimidated by them. After all, he managed to make the disciples of Butler Si go on a wild goose chase and kill a couple of them. He doesn't believe that some team that used to brute-forcing through everything would be able to do much to him.
"Enough. Guys, where do you think you are. Back off. Now."
The blue cloaks backed off and Grivon looked at Sam and said.
"I am sorry Sam, we are out of line. Let's just leave it at this."
Sam controlled his killing intent and was about to step back, but the first blue cloak kept on yapping.
"How convenient. Good job saving his ass young master."
"I said enough." Grivon got angry and looked at him coldly. Even he had had enough of this nonsense.
"Why should I young master? You are too trusting of this guy. He comes here and he gained your basic trust and now he might have released the virus and made some of us die. He managed to make you believe him and gave you this unrealistic theory. Tried to kill one of us, and 'coincidentally' only his medicine works on this virus, now he has a lot of money to make."
"Use your brain dipshit. I already gave you the designs and recipes of the medication, what money do I get to make in here?" Sam asked calmly.
"Maybe, this is not the complete antidote, you might sell the complete antidote later. I am sure you are the one that is behind this."
"And what is my motive?"
"Your motive is to make money of course. After all, you are a coward who couldn't even fight his own battles and hide behinds his pretty inventions. You just want to make money while making the Gaja clan and young master Grivon do all the dirty work."
"Back off, Bigon. You are crossing your limits. You wouldn't be able to take back the words you said." Grivon also seemed to have become angry and he stood in front of that blue cloak directly saying it to his face.
By now, Sam lost the frown and his expression turned to the one of derision and disregard, this guy is really imaginative. By hook or crook, all he wants is to paint Sam as the culprit.
"Young master, what I am saying is true. Let me beat the truth out of him."
As he spoke, he sidestepped Grivon and made a move. Of course, Grivon is just a middle-stage Transcendent stage cultivator of the Astral Plane. He cannot react in time.
But Sam already sensed the energy fluctuations and he reacted faster.
He extended his hand and an energy barrier appeared in front of him.
*BOOM*
An explosive sound appeared as the fist landed on the barrier, but instead of the recoil, the Bigon felt a suction as the barrier used the force to ripple apart and suck the fist into it.
Sam pulled his hand backward and the barrier changed its shape into a bunch of energy snakes as they coiled around the arm and then around the rest of Bigon's body and before the rest of the blue cloaks could react, Bigon is lying with his face down under Sam's foot while his limbs are tied backward like he was some wild game.
A rope of energy also held tight against his mouth and was pulled back exposing his clean throat.
Sam looked at the rest of Blue Cloaks and Grivon as he spoke slowly and calmly.
"I might look easygoing Grivon, but don't take that for granted. Even if it is not you who did it, I wouldn't tolerate it because it is your job to keep your subordinates in check.
I am not here to placate their insecurities."
*crack*
The left hand of Grivon was twisted like a rope as many bone protrusions came out of the flesh in several places from shoulder to the knuckles.
"Now, the legendary blue cloaks of Grivon, the young master of the Gaja Clan.
What makes you think that you are better than me? What makes you think that you have a right to talk down to me?
My team would mop the floor with you in three seconds and even they don't dare to talk back to me like that and trust me, every one of them is a maniac with a controlled mind. You might think you are all that because you killed a bunch of people.
Remember this when you come against me the next time. The deaths I have caused in this life are more than the deaths that all of you have witnessed in this and the rest of your previous lifetimes combined.
I have killed people in many ways than you could even dream of."
*CRACK*
The right hand is also gone.
"So, next time you yap your mouth, just be ready to get killed, and trust me I have methods that will make you want to commit suicide with all you got and I wouldn't hold back to use them."
*CRACK* *CRACK* *CRACK*
