Sam looked at the woman running away silently and took a step forward, he disappeared from the spot and reappeared in front of her a few hundred meters away.
Looking at Sam's sudden appearance, she was stunned and fell on her back.
She tried to stand up and run away once again.
Sam looked at her coldly and the pressure in surrounding areas increased. It is just his spiritual energy, but that felt like she is carrying hundreds of tons on her back as she was stuck to the ground.
Sam once again took out the picture and asked.
"I want to know everything you know about her."
The woman looked at Sam fearfully and hatefully as she spoke through gritted teeth.
"Let me go."
Sam increased the pressure on her and looked into her eyes.
"You don't seem to understand what kind of situation you are in. I have a hundred ways to make you open your mouth. So, you better start speaking before I decide to use any of them."
By now, many people from within a few streets surrounding them came running to see what is happening. When they saw a familiar woman being pressed against the ground, they all wondered what happened and they are also a bit hostile towards Sam.
He didn't care and increased the pressure. The people didn't want to come forward and just started yelling.
"Who are you?"
"Let go of her."
"Do you think that guard wouldn't care if something happens in the slums?"
Sam didn't even bother with them at the start. He just let them yell at him. But as time went on it became annoying and Sam snapped his finger.
The houses and the street in the surroundings turned into rubble in an instant and the yelling stopped immediately.
He crouched down and looked at the woman before asking.
"This is the last time, I am going to ask you. If you don't answer me, I will kill you and extract your soul to read the memories from it. The only reason I am giving you a chance until now is that I felt that you might be an innocent person involved in this, but from the looks of it and your friends that are trying to observe the situation from the surrounding streets are giving me a different idea."
As soon as he spoke, he waved his hand and the wind became turbulent.
"ARGH."
"SHIT."
"DAMNIT."
All kinds of painful groans are coming from the two sides of the street and many people fell out from hidden spots.
Even though Sam broke through to Astral Plane a long time ago and can do large-scale attacks that could span for hundreds of meters, they are not useful in the fights he was in.
Even if he could large-scale attacks, when facing an equal opponent, those are not useful. To hurt the opponents, he needs to focus and concentrate that large-scale energy into a small space.
But when dealing with people like this who are so weak that even if he let them kill him they would be incapable of it, these attacks that could cover a large scale works pretty well.
And with this action, the woman who is trying her best to resist speaking, broke down. She understood that Sam is too powerful for her and decided to cave in. But there is one last straw that she is clutching on. If that straw doesn't come to use at this moment, she would definitely give up.
As she was thinking, a young man wearing luxurious robes came running towards the slums with a bunch of city guards and yelled.
"Who are you? How dare you be impudent in this city like this?"
When Sam saw him, he frowned. From the city guards and the robes, he is definitely of higher level and as he heard the whispers of the citizens, he immediately understood who he was.
He is the son of the Marquis.
Sam ignored him completely and looked at the woman.
"Are you tell me or not?"
She widened her eyes in disbelief. When she didn't speak, Sam just waved his hand and her head was separated from her neck. With another wave of his hand, her soul was extracted and he closed his eyes to absorb the memories.
As soon as he saw this, Sam's eyes became colder and he turned to look at the son of Marquis who is standing a few feet away.
When the young man looked at Sam, he felt like he was being stared at by death itself.
He became nervous and commanded.
"How dare you kill someone in front of me? Guards, arrest him."
But as soon as he finished his words, the guards who were about to make a move were plastered to the ground with a lot of pressure bearing on their backs and Sam disappeared from the spot before reappearing in front of the young man and caught him by his neck.
Sam really wanted to rip his head off, right that moment, but he controlled his urge and let the shadow undead out. They ran to different sides of the slum to do something.
Meanwhile, Sam disappeared from the spot along with the Marquis's son and reappeared in the city square. He threw the guy on the floor and sat at the edge of the city fountain.
He waved his hand and Sky came out.
"Go and fetch Ark here, go as fast as you can."
Sky left instantly. The city guards who saw the young master of the city being thrown like a ragdoll wanted to deal with the criminal, but anyone who came a few feet near Sam is all being pinned down unable to move.
Soon one of the city guards ran towards the Marquis mansion.
Meanwhile, inside the Marquis mansion, the team that came with Sam is all sitting at a table with tea and snacks served for them.
The team leader had a frown on his face and said.
"Marquis, it seems like you are not getting what I say or you are deliberately ignoring it. I said I want to know the full details about the origin of the girl."
Marquis has a flattering smile on his face as he looked at the team and said.
"Sir, we can discuss that later. I will ask the city guards to search around and see if they can find it. But as far as I know, she is just an orphan with no family whatsoever."
This is the only thing the Marquis kept on repeating and stalled as the team asked questions.
As the team leader was about lose his cool, the attendant ran inside and reported the situation of Marquis' son.
The team leader overheard it and was shocked.
"What did the man look like?"
"He is a handsome young man who looked to be in his twenties. He is wearing black all over."
The attendant explained.
The team leader clearly understood who it was and immediately ran towards the city square, followed by the Marquis.
When Marquis saw his son's situation, he became extremely angry and yelled.
"WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU? YOU…"
*PAK*
But before he could finish the sentence a slap landed straight on his face. It is the team leader who did this.
Sam looked at the team leader and said.
"Call the representative over."
The team leader ran by himself and brought back the representative of the dusk organization in two minutes.
When the representative saw Sam, his knees felt weak and he immediately bowed with respect.
"I am sorry, Lord. I didn't know you are arriving. Otherwise, I would have received you myself."
Even though the small-time nobles and some people of this time, didn't remember or know of Sam's appearance, even if they knew his name, the organization members are sure to know about it. Because they don't dare to forget the big boss above him.
Sam didn't care for his greetings and said.
"Come forward and stand in front of me."
The representative looked at the young master and nervously walked to the front.
"What did I say about the situation regarding orphans."
Sam asked in a cold voice.
The representative immediately started sweating profusely.
Sam didn't repeat his question and just waited. In ten minutes, the shadow appeared, and along with them are a bunch of young kids. All girls. Within the age of ten to fifteen.
When the marquis, his son, and the representative saw this, they were stunned.
They knew what is happening clearly and they also understood who the person currently they are dealing with.
Sam looked at the representative and said.
"When I started the organization, I repeatedly gave you instructions regarding the orphans and women. But you just have to go on and ignore what I said."
"I… I…" The representative wanted to say something, but he couldn't and stuttered. Sam looked at the team leader and said.
"I want to know whoever that is involved in this. Whether they are members of our organization, nobles, commoners, government officials, I want to know every single name right now."
