Zeus immediately looked towards the sky and his eyes glowed with purple lightning. Immediately the other important gods from Olympus arrived in front of it and he looked at them with the same angry expression he had until now.
"I want all of you to do something for me."
He said and they all just stood there, saying nothing. They are waiting for him to finish his piece.
…
While Sam's current situation triggered conflicts in places he didn't imagine, he has busied himself with a lot of work.
He became extremely busy for the past few days that he didn't have any time for rest. He had to check his research and also check the details of Grivon's business since they are currently on the same boat.
But luckily, the latter didn't take much time and he managed to get the operational structure of the secret businesses fast enough for him to catch up.
The associate that previously helped with the secret businesses also helped him out and for some reason, he is really excited about leaving the secret side and going to the open side.
While Sam took a few days to go through it all, Giyon sent a message through someone to one of Grivon's aides outside the stray realm.
"Someone from Blood Iron league is here and he is looking for Sam, so be careful. This guy knows more than others."
Grivon immediately became vigilant and went to meet Giyon to get more details, but he was unable to because Giyon was not even the realm by the time he reached Clan grounds, she went to a different realm to solve some crisis.
He felt lost and didn't know what to do. All he can do is go back to the stray realm and be prepared while maintaining a close look at the surveillance to see if they can spot anyone suspicious.
Meanwhile, Sam just made Specter prepare another trap good enough to deal with the upcoming threat. There is not much Sam can do apart from making preparations for some possible scenarios. And he has to refrain from going out of the stray realm which he does very little anyway.
After getting a gist of the businesses and instructing Grivon on what to do and how to negotiate the deal for the restaurant chains, in other realms, he focused on creating blueprints and recipes of the previous businesses he had in various realms.
The alcohol business with vodka, rice wine, and beer. The Wine business he had in several places. The food business with Biriyani and Kheer he opened in the CharBhum realm. The resort business he had in the Naga realm.
Sam started making copies of everything he had in different realms and compiled them into various categories and it took around a week.
While he worked non-stop this whole week, Grivon was being constantly pestered by someone.
At the start of the week, Grivon came to meet Sam with an exhausted expression.
"Migron and his parents are grilling me. They are asking for information about how I got my tip. They are constantly pestering me. I don't understand, but they seem to be very interested in the source of my information."
"So, what did you tell them?"
"Nothing of course. You are the source of information and I am not planning on giving you up."
"Then, just keep it up if they ask you again."
That is what Sam said and that is exactly what Grivon did for the whole week. Migron acted extremely desperate and found out Grivon's location by hook or crook. At first, this all started as some casual exchange, but by the end of the week, Migron is only short of begging Grivon.
Of course, Grivon notified Sam of this unusual change. But Sam ignored it until he received some interesting news on the last day of the week.
"Migron has been kidnapped yesterday."
Sam was stunned and then couldn't help but smile.
"Seems like someone made a move to reach me."
"Do you think it is Sivan?"
"No, I don't think it is him. He wouldn't dare to do so. He is not that careless. Only a few people who overestimate their own strength and underestimate the power of your clan would do something so stupid as kidnapping a young master of a clan.
In my opinion, Sivan does neither of those things."
"Then who could it be? After all, it is not easy to kidnap someone right under the noses of our clan. Migron might not have the same level of forces as me, but trust me, he has some really good guards. I was even tempted to poach some of them myself and some of the other youngsters didn't even acted on the temptation but only failed. They are super strong and fiercely loyal and they always stay by his side. I don't believe he got kidnapped like that. Who do you think did this?"
"I think it is that someone Giyon mentioned."
"The person from the league?"
"Yes."
"Oh my god. Do you think that Sivan has given the extra information they obtained to the league?"
"That might be the case. After all, your sister mentioned that this person knows more than others. There might be other possibilities too. But that is not what is important here, What should we do now?"
Sam asked calmly.
"We are staying put of course. We don't need to do anything. The clan can handle this pretty well."
"I know they can handle it. The thing is, this person is from the league. He might have a divine dimension fragment and there is another issue. What if the information about you giving the tip leaks out? They might connect the dots and we might get caught."
As they were discussing suddenly Grivon received an alert and he frowned.
"This is a special alert for a clan meeting. I need to go."
Grivon immediately left the stray realm and reached the clan grounds. He entered a special building were in a large conference room that has one large table and a series of small tables arranged in the rest of the room along with different chairs, some of the most important people has gathered.
The Head of the clan, the elders, the enforcement division, the core external disciples, and the younger generation of the clans.
Even Giyon who never liked the meetings came and sat at the main table without any reservations.
Grivon sat at the small table behind her and leaned forward to talk.
"What is happening? Is it related to the kidnapping?"
"What else could it be? Migron's Parents are making a fuss. This meeting is actually about you."
Grivon was shocked.
"What do you mean by that? Why would this be something about me?"
"You just have to wait and see. You should have brought Sam here. He would have been able to help you a bit."
"Bring him where? You already said someone from League is here. Wouldn't it be more dangerous?"
"Oh, I forgot about that. That guy didn't make a move yet?"
"No, he didn't. He doesn't know about us, so he didn't make a move." Grivon explained and suddenly became more confused.
"Wait a minute, why are you asking as if you knew that person would make a move. Sister Giyon, did you sell me out?"
"Please stop your cynical suspicion. It doesn't suit your personality and if your mother heard that, she would spank my ass even at this age. I already told you, I am on your side. Trust me, even if the whole clan turns against you, you can count on me."
Grivon looked at her in deliberation and was about to say something when the clan leader came into the room followed by the elders.
Clan leader took the seat at the head of the table. Some of the elders are surprised to see Giyon taking a seat at the main table and particularly there is one young man who came after the elders.
He is none other than Mingiv the third remaining prospect among the top three contenders to be the next Clan Head.
He looked at Giyon sitting at the main table as if she killed his ancestors.
Giyon didn't even take a look at him though, he greeted the head of the clan and once again sat in the same seat.
One of the elders couldn't take it anymore and said.
"Giyon, the main table is for the Head of the Clan, Core Elders, and some other people who hold esteemed titles. You cannot sit here. Go back."
Giyon looked at him while the rest of the youngsters are looking forward to her going back. But she once again looked at the head of the clan and said calmly.
"I am here to claim my esteemed title."
Clan's head looked at her with amusement and asked.
"Oh? What would that be?"
"The greatest financial contributor the clan. I have earned you a lot of money. My contribution alone is equal to the sum of the contribution of all of my peers combined. And I made more money than any of the successor candidate that ever existed in the clan history, that includes you my dear Clan head.
I believe I deserve some recognition."
