Chapter 141
After breakfast, Samuel and Nina went to retrieve their mounts. They met the family again, and this time, Samuel offered them numerous tips before finally departing with their animals.Their journey back home was mostly smooth, interrupted only by a few skirmishes with demonic beasts, none of which amounted to any significant trouble.Finally, they reached Egean City. The guard stationed at the entrance was, surprisingly, the same one they had encountered on their first day."We meet again, sir," the guard chuckled, quickly recognizing Samuel.Samuel nodded in acknowledgment but did not pay him any more attention than was necessary. Unlike the last time they had met, Samuel now owned a house in Egean and even possessed a certain status, though it seemed the guard was unaware of that fact.They entered the city and, instead of finding a stable to board their mounts, rode straight to the new mansion Samuel had purchased shortly before leaving for the Bahamas.Meanwhile, Azarath was care

After they left, he relaxed for a while before visiting the Alchemist Association. The first person he encountered was Elder Feng."Grandmaster Alchemist Sam, your presence brings glory to this place," Elder Feng greeted cheerfully. Samuel's fame had already spread throughout the region after his great feat. Since that event, the Alchemist Association and the Divine Doctor Association had been arguing over which one Samuel truly belonged to.As for Samuel, he was unaware of this dispute, and even if he had known, he would not have cared in the least."Elder Feng," Samuel greeted warmly. "Where is the vice president?" He glanced around."The vice president is working on something in his laboratory," Elder Feng replied."In that case, let us not disturb him. I only came to purchase herbs from your archive," Samuel explained. The Egean City Alchemist Association possessed many rare herbs in great quantity, and he intended to buy a large supply."Grandmaster Sam, we do have the herbs, but

"You… You are not afraid of my father? You really are new here, aren't you?""What is happening here?" Three elderly men entered."Is that the President and the Vice President?""And Elder Feng. Look, Elder Feng is here too. For the three of them to be together… the new guy is in real trouble." The crowd whispered among themselves, feeling sorry for Samuel for having gotten into such a situation."Grandmaster Alchemist Sam, what happened here? I hope these children did not offend you?" President Philip asked as he stepped forward."Grandmaster Sam," Vice President Maximus and Elder Feng greeted respectfully."This guy here obstructed me from reading, and then he blocked my path when I got annoyed and tried to leave. He even threatened me, saying his father is a higher-up who would have me thrown out," Samuel explained, pointing at Clayton's son.The young man was utterly confused. A Grandmaster Alchemist? That was impossible, right? The people in the library were equally shocked. They

As for the two badges, they were his Grandmaster Alchemist badge and his Divine Doctor badge. The city guard now understood his identity; he had heard of Samuel before but had never seen him in person.He promptly returned Samuel’s belongings.“I am sorry for disturbing you, sir. My apologies,” he said, bowing as he began to retreat, but Samuel stopped him.“Wait… can you tell me who ordered my arrest?” Samuel asked.“This… sir, I cannot reveal that information. It is confidential,” the guard replied, his expression showing clear discomfort.“It is not a request—it is an order. I can report you directly to the City Lord or the General if you refuse to talk,” Samuel threatened.The guard swallowed, finding himself in a very difficult situation.“Alright, alright, I will tell you. It was Mr. Eduardo.”“Eduardo? Who is that?”The guard stared at him in shock.“You do not know Mr. Eduardo? He is the richest man in the city. He reported that you attacked his son, cut off his arms, and stol

"My son's arm was cut off by a lawless man, and he even stole a large sum of money from him that was meant for a development project in the small village at Egean. All of this happened in front of witnesses. Now, when I sent the city guards to arrest him, they returned and reported that he possessed the City Lord’s insignia. What is the meaning of that?"The City Lord allowed him to finish without interruption. When Eduardo stopped speaking, the City Lord looked up at him, his face expressionless."Do you think it was merely the insignia that prevented his arrest? The insignia was just a token I gave him on a whim to support his authority. You know quite well that with his current authority, he can resist arrest, right?" The City Lord stared at him intently."It is alright, I am not blaming you for anything. I came here for you to issue an order for his arrest," Eduardo demanded."I will not," the City Lord stated firmly.Eduardo frowned. "And why not?""Because we have not heard from

This was simply his way of fighting back against them. They had to, at the very least, be completely removed from the Supernatural organization. If they remained, how could they fail to learn of your every move?A few high-graded ones might still find a way around it, though.Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside. Sensing trouble immediately, he rushed out."What is happening?" he demanded as he stepped outside. His expression darkened upon seeing the group, especially the man leading them. His eyes flashed red for a brief moment."Is he the bastard?" a tall, middle-aged man demanded, pointing at him."Yes, my Lord," his servant replied. "We have already obtained his sketch.""Ha! So you are the one who cut off my son's hand and even stole his money?" the man roared."And you are?" Samuel feigned ignorance, though he was already certain this man was Ezra's father."You do not know me? Fine, then, will you explain why you cut off my son Ezra's hand? I am sure you cannot deny knowing hi

"Threatening me with death will change nothing. Go ahead and prove it if you can, or apologize to me in front of everyone right now, and I will let the matter go." Eduardo stood his ground.Unexpectedly, Samuel suddenly grabbed his hand."You... what are you doing? Release my hand immediately!" he protested. "You declared in front of everyone that you would prove I am from the Urgaba. What are you trying to do now?""Proving it," Samuel smirked. He placed the ring on Eduardo’s finger and then released him.At first, Eduardo felt nothing and was about to scold him again, but then a cold sensation seeped from the ring into his body, reaching his heart. The moment it made contact, the black heart reacted violently."What is this? What have you done to me?" Eduardo was alarmed, but the black heart responded even faster.It spread its energy throughout his body, and soon Eduardo’s body began twitching violently. The next moment, he transformed into a terrifying, vile black monster.The Cit

They looked at Azarath, then looked away, uninterested in the matter again. In their minds, they thought Samuel was basing everything solely on what his subordinates had said."Fine, let us forget about these things. It is not what we are here for," the general finally said. "Where are the pills?"Samuel took a round pill from his storage bag and tossed it to him."Fifty thousand energy stones. Pay immediately," he said in a flat tone."Fifty thousand energy stones? That is a lot," the general complained."Give me back the pill if you cannot afford it. I did not say you must buy it." Samuel took the pill from his hand."Alright, alright, I will pay." The general took it back, brought out a storage bag, and handed it over.Samuel checked the contents and nodded. "Good. This is how I like to do business, simple and straight.""Yeah, just make sure this pill works. If not..." the general’s voice grew colder.Samuel frowned. He did not like being threatened, but he still managed to keep c

"If it is so dangerous, why do you not leave with us?" she insisted stubbornly.Samuel felt a deep sense of urgency. He could no longer entertain this argument, so he did something he had not wanted to do."Leave now, Nina. Go to Nork City and wait for me." This time, he used his authority in their connection as master and servant.Nina looked at him in disbelief. A tear escaped her eye, but she wiped it away immediately and put on a brave front."Yes, master." She saluted and left.Samuel felt regret, but even if time were reversed, he would still make the same choice. If he were alone, no matter the threat coming, he might still have a chance to escape. But if they remained, he might face the painful choice of staying and perishing with them or abandoning them.Even he was not sure whether he would choose to perish with them.He watched her leave with Azarath. She did not look back, but her trembling shoulders betrayed her struggle.Samuel sighed and continued on his way. He rushed

The fight had now turned completely in favor of the Egean City soldiers. Samuel killed a few more of the black robed figures who were stronger before leaving the rest to the soldiers. He marched inside the hall.The general rushed with a group of soldiers toward the entrance as well."Hey, Samuel, let's all go together. It will be safer," he suggested.Samuel nodded and slowed his pace. The hall was very dark, but at the far end they could see a faint light. As they got closer, every one of Samuel’s instincts screamed run! run! All the hair on his body stood up. His eyes turned red as he activated the Divine Eye technique.What he saw made him weary.As they neared the end of the hall, the others could finally see clearly. There was a crystal coffin at the center of a blood pool, and an abominable looking corpse lay inside it.It was the source of the diabolical energy. Samuel could feel the souls of the dead converging here from the opening at the top of the building, directly above
