In just a moment everything changed.
Clan leader 1 felt extremely exasperated. He knew he is a pickle right now. On one side there are a bunch of clan leaders that are trying to get an edge on him and now even his allies are against him.
There is no way, he is getting out of this situation. He is going to face the heat from both sides and he should find a chance to escape.
Sam looked at the whole scene from the table and then packed it away.
“We are moving.”
“Where to?” Maya asked in confusion.
“As I said before. To get your children. And this time, you can stay out in the open. Standing in front of everyone as you take your child with your own arms.”
As Sam said, he took out the dimensional drifter and moved to their next location.
Of course, he cannot directly get to the city as he hadn’t marked the node before. But he got to the closest point and took out the hover car before taking Maya and her kids along with him.
He reached the city in no time.
The formations are active. Since the clan leader left the city, he made sure that is locked securely. But it didn’t matter. Sam and the hovercar disappeared outside and reappeared inside.
Then, Sam came out of the car and got on to the harbinger meanwhile, he helped Maya up and made her stand on the hover car along with her youngest child in her arms while the other two sat inside the car as they looked at the city through the windows, feeling the slight breeze.
It is very fascinating to them.
Sam hovered over Harbinger and smiled.
“You can be here, the car will bring you closer to the city and your child as we advance forward. Be careful not to slip though.”
Maya looked nervous. Not about slipping.
“Sam, is this really okay? I mean, this is very dangerous. What if they hold me hostage?”
Sam smiled and said.
“Trust me. There is a higher chance of falling asleep while standing up than them reaching to you and holding you hostage.”
As he said, he moved a bit forward and stood at the center of the city. By now the city guards who are already on high alert already noticed Sam and Hovercar’s presence.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?”
One of the city guards came over on a flying beast and asked.
“Who are you?”
“I am called Sam. Contact whoever is in charge right now and tell them. In exactly two minutes I am going to start breaking into the clan grounds. I will destroy every formation that is blocking me and kill every person that comes into my way until I find Maya’s child.
Of course, they could avoid it by handing the child over directly. But even I prefer the first method. Everything is pretty restrictive in the last few days and I need to stretch myself a bit.”
The city guard frowned and wanted to make a move. But to his surprise, he felt like he is trapped in a transparent cage that could barely fit him in.
Sam looked at him and said with a smile.
“Don’t waste time with your silly efforts. Just go and do what I told you to do. My hands are itching a bit.”
Sam said as he stretched his arms a bit and looked at the guard with a smirk.
The guard couldn’t help but shudder. Sam is not even trying, but he blocked him from moving entirely. Not even a finger could be moved.
Only when he tried to turn back and run away did he manage to move freely? He flew towards the clan grounds at the maximum speed all the while taking glances at Sam.
Meanwhile, Sam looked at his receding back and thought of an idea.
He extended his fingers like a gun, like how kids do to play around.
Except for him, a very concentrated ball of energy is hanging at his fingertips.
As the guard moved farther and farther, the ball started glowing brighter and brighter.
Just when the guard was about to take his token out to enter through the formation, a beam of energy shot right past him and hit the formation.
The formation broke in a flash.
The guard turned around to look at Sam who is concentrating the second ball of energy. He became scared shitless and hurried to see his superiors.
Meanwhile, after two minutes, when Sam didn’t see anyone coming, he started making his way to the clan grounds. When the guards wanted to stop him, they flew and crashed into the roads with just the tailwind of the harbinger.
They are not moving anymore.
As he went past the gate, the walls of the clan grounds broke and got crushed. The guards soon tried to block him, but all he had to do is make a hard turn for them to be blown away by the tailwind of the harbinger.
The guards are at a late stage of Astral Plane at best and Sam is at the peak for months suppressing and constraining his energy. He is way too powerful for them. In fact, they might as well be in Mortal Plane.
When he finally saw some of the young masters and the elders coming, he got a bit serious. He took out his staff and got ready to attack them.
But to his surprise, the person in charge already ran forward and stopped the others to move forward.
“I don’t want to fight. Let’s just talk.”
He yelled at Sam and stayed at what he felt like it was a safe distance.
“There is nothing to talk.”
“I know about you. Sam. The guy the clan leader is searching for. I don’t know why or how you came here. But I warn you, if you so much as do swing your staff accidentally, the clan leader will have your head.
And if you know what is better for you, you will leave Maya and her kids right here with us and run away.”
Sam held the staff tightly and spoke with a cold smile.
“For once I thought I would come across some sensible person in a position of authority and status. But I guess I am wrong.
Anyway, I am not interested in your proposal and I am not interested in talking to you either.
A bunch of vermin trying to use a woman as a breeding machine and forcing the child to grow up brainwashed and as a slave to your clan names?
I would rather cut my own head off than talk deals with you. The only reason I even gave you guys a chance is to give you a benefit of the doubt. Assuming that not all of you are pieces of shit. But I am wrong.”
Sam’s staff glowed with silver lightning as he started swinging.
*BOOM*
