Fig’s tone is calm, but everyone in the room knew that he is getting anxious. At this moment, one of the attendants came running into the room to inform.
“Sir, I went to pick up the auxiliary team members at the meeting point, but their leader has already been captured by Gail, and some of the members in their team were also caught by Sam and Grivon’s other subordinates.
Vice-captain seemed to have already disappeared from the clan grounds.”
Fig’s expression changed drastically. At least, until now he managed to hide his expressions and emotions a bit as he was worried that it would affect their morale, but now he cannot even do that.
“Is he captured?” He asked the attendant.
“I don’t think he is captured, Sir. Since yesterday, we weren’t able to contact him or see him.”
“Try to establish contact again. Also, try and reach out to the mission assigner. I will be going to the clan head’s residence. Good thing that the Auxiliary team members directly connect to this place. But we need to be careful.”
As he spoke, he moved out and directly went to the clan leader’s residence to talk to him. On his way, he was constantly drenched with sweat as he thought of what might happen to him.
But he really underestimated the quickness of Sam and Gail.
Not long after he left, both of them arrived at that place. This time, Gail didn’t waste time like last time, he killed the auxiliary captain and realized that the captain of the real team is actually Fig.
So, he immediately came here. The same thing happened with Sam. Among the members he happened to catch by the rest of the group, he caught the vice-captain of the auxiliary team and got the information.
He didn’t kill and just captured the rest of them and held them within Giyon’s residence before coming here and meeting Gail.
Sam walked to Gail and whispered something again.
Gail looked at him with a bit of a surprised tone but still nodded. He helped Sam capture every one of them and made them wear the special shackles Sam made.
Now there are only a few people that are related to this squad and are still roaming outside.
The first one is actually Fig, the second is the Vice-captain, the third and fourth one are the ones that went to look for the Vice Captain and the person that went to look for the mission assigner.
After capturing them, they just waited there and before long, Fig contacted one of them.
“Lead everyone to the Clan’s leader’s residence. Don’t dawdle and come fast.”
“I am sorry, Fig. They cannot come there now. I mean, they were currently captured, so it would really hard to come by themselves. Do you want me to help them out?”
Sam asked with a hint of sarcasm.
“Sam?”
Fig asked in disbelief.
“Yes, that’s who I am.”
“What the hell are you doing to my subordinates?”
“I still haven’t decided yet. But killing them all is right up there on the top of my mind, so I might just go for it. Do give me some suggestions though.”
“No, don’t. This is just a big misunderstanding. They don’t have anything to do with this. Most of them are even young masters of the clan, you wouldn’t get away with killing them.”
“Are you stupid? Do you really think that I am the only one here? I don’t have to kill your guys, I have someone who would do that. You must know who I am talking about right?”
“Let me talk to Mr. Gail.”
Fig asked directly and Sam just replied with…
“Why not?” And threw the token to Gail.
“What do you want? I am actually angrier than that kid. So, if you are looking for a way to get out of this situation, you are barking at the wrong tree.”
“No, Sir. I still believe that you are the wiser one among you two and I trust your judgment. Please don’t make any rash decisions and come to the Clan’s leader’s residence. We talk this over here.”
“And, one what authority are you asking me to come there? Do you really think that you have what it takes to summon me there?”
The other side turned silent for a moment.
“Brother Gail, it is me. Can you please come to my residence?” Clan’s leader’s voice came from that side.
Gail frowned. He really didn’t want to go, but he knew that he should. He still believed that with all the things that Clan’s leader knew about him, he wouldn’t have been foolish enough to involve his daughter in this plot.
“Alright, we will be there.”
Gail grabbed Sam without even a heads-up and leaped into the air. Before long they are in the Clan’s leader’s residence.
“First of all, let me explain how Sorry I am for Jyon to be involved in this whole farce.”
Both Sam and Gail are silent and didn’t bother to reply to this sentence out of the Clan leader’s mouth.
Then Fig stepped forward and bowed to Gail.
“Sir Gail, I am the captain of this secret squad and the only goal of this is to keep the clan people in order. As the factions are growing and the Grand Elders are dividing the clan into several pieces with different ideologies and goals, we believed that there is a need to have something that would defend the clan and the administrators of it when something drastic happens.
That is what our squad is for.
But ever since I returned recently, I was busy with something else and I didn’t care much about my clan. It is true that my actions might have appeared suspicious, but I was doing something that holds the interests of the clan as a whole.
In my absence, my Vice-captain took a hold of the team and he seemed to have different ideologies than the rest as he thought that Sam is a person that has insulted the clan with his actions and wanted to deal with him.
But our squad doesn’t have any authority within the clan grounds in the current situation, but he still went and did something anyway because of some trusted source who gave the idea of this mission.
Except for the vice-captain, no one knows who that person is and we are currently looking for both of them.
My team in my absence took the orders from the Vice-captain which is what they had to do and used the auxiliary team that acts as a reserve for us to execute the plan.
I know that some kids that are completely unrelated to this and your daughter Jyon were involved in this mess, but what they wanted to do is to create an immediate flame between Grand Elder Pon and Sam.
They explicitly made sure that your daughter wouldn’t be harmed by this. So, please go easy on our team. If you really want to punish us for this, please take the Vice captain’s head and my own head. But please leave our team out of this.”
Gail scoffed and replied.
“Oh really? So, how did you guys make sure that my daughter wouldn’t be involved in this? Do you think that just because Malgav is present at the scene you would be able to make Sam and Grand Elder Pon archenemies?
If it is was that simple, don’t you think they would have already been on that path?”
“From what I heard, when the poison that comes out of the person’s body enters Sam, he would be unable to move for a while which would give Malgav a chance to attack him.
He is a coward through and through, so that is the only time he would attack and if Sam is weak, he would die and if he is strong he would kill Malgav as a counter-attack.
If the poisoning didn’t even happen, there is a chance that Malgav would be the one that Sam suspects the most. The way reacted when his students were harmed is a giant factor in this plan. My team believed that he would kill Malgav out of suspicion.”
“So, the person who led this operation, that guy in your mansion currently captured, used the auxiliary team to create the suggestive patterns within two days and made every person involved in the plan appear at the right place and the right time.
Is that it?”
Sam asked from the side.
Fig nodded and Sam continued.
“It is really impressive. Trust me, I haven’t seen something this impressive in quite a while. Do you know what is even more impressive? You think that if Gail forgives you, everything will be over.
Because that is impossible my friend. Even if Gail forgives you, I will not stop this until I kill everyone that is involved in the team.
Just because you believe that it was for your clan, I don’t have any reason to forgive you. All the lives of your team members who have any relation to this whole farce are mine. That includes your Vice-captain too.”
