In the city and the surroundings, the Marquis and his son are collecting little girls who are orphans, and sometimes they are even killing the parents and kidnapped the children to hide them in the slums.
The policy of the Dusk organization for adopting the orphans was established a long long time ago and from then on, it has become rare for orphans to exist in the slums. But every day many hunters with families go into the forest and the orphans are bound to exist no matter what.
The Marquis and his son happened to have a fetish regarding the girls between ages ten to fifteen and they kept these girls for their personal pleasures.
They would just kill them after they cross fifteen years old and wouldn"t bother with them anymore.
This time Arvi is also some who was supposed to be killed. But from what Sam could guess, Arvi who cannot take the abuse accidentally used her energy which resulted in the activation of the partial fusion of her light elemental body.
As the light element is soothing in its natural form, these sc.u.m bags must have just enjoyed her more and when they found out the dusk organization is looking for special kids and the reward is extremely high for whoever could give information on them, Marquis figured that the reward would be higher when he handed over the kid directly.
The representatives of the organization didn"t announce earlier that the kids are for Sam"s students as they didn"t want the desperate and greedy a.s.sholes who might fake the reports to just get a chance of getting in.
So, these guys a.s.sumed it is nothing important and just gave her away. They indeed got a great reward that is almost as much as their whole family fortune. Now they are enjoying it.
The woman, Sam killed at the start is actually one of the key players of this whole scheme and she is in charge of luring the kids and taking care of them.
She knew that there is a strict policy against anything that is harmful to the children, so she is very much afraid when Sam showed that picture and wanted to inform the rest of the group. But Sam noticed and everything blew to this.
The Marquis, the son, and the representative are all kneeling down in front of Sam and slowly the numbers started increasing as the three of them spilled one name after another.
There are not many people involved in the organization. The representative is actually the son of one of the executives of a park in the Duke city nearby and managed to tone this matter down with the help of his father and only a few of his close attendants are involved in the whole scheme.
But as for the government, almost a dozen, village heads, city lords, counts, and a bunch of other administrators are involved in the scenario.
Sam sent shadows to various places that were told by these three people and made each and every one of them appear here within a few hours.
Even the executive from the Duke city came here and he also knelt beside his son as he pleaded his innocence.
But Sam didn"t care. He just waited for Ark to arrive and an hour later, Sky returned in full size as he held Ark with his talons.
He dropped Ark and returned back to his original size. Sam let him back inside the divine dimension and looked at Ark with a frown.
Ark looked at Sam and said.
"Sam, I know you are stronger than me and you have more influence. But I am still the emperor of the western continent. You should at least show some respect."
Sam didn"t reply immediately and just raised his aura which put pressure on Ark who knelt on the ground.
"Where is Ark?"
Sam"s question stunned everyone. An d the biggest shock could be seen on "Ark"s" face.
"It seems like I have been too lax in my administration since I am not around much. Everyone became so complacent thinking that I would completely ignore this place."
As Sam spoke, the earthen spikes appeared under "Ark" who is currently laying flat on the ground and all his limbs were pierced.
"So, who are you? Where is Ark?"
Sam asked the question as he walked towards the guy calmly.
"Ark" has a horrified expression on his face as he could see Sam"s devilish smirk before he cut his head off.
Sam returned to the city after extracting the memories. He let the team he took there to deal with the Marquis and temporarily handle the government there.
After reaching the city, Sam didn"t wait there and directly went to the Thunder G.o.d temple through the s.p.a.ce gate.
The people in charge of monitoring the s.p.a.ce gate were stunned by Sam"s arrival.
But as soon as he appeared there, Sam took off on the harbinger as he went to the main island of the thunder G.o.d temple.
When he arrived outside the temple, he was quite high profile and attracted the elders and the head of the temple.
Sam looked at the head of the temple and smiled. It turned out to be Arthur.
Looking at Sam, Arthur was horrified. Sam is still as young as ever. He looked to be in his mid-twenties. But Arthur looked like he was in his late thirties.
Sam landed in front of him and spoke.
"I wondered who has the b.a.l.l.s to try and harm my organization, it seems like you are way in over your head after Arman left this place. You guys will never learn your lesson, do you? The only reason you managed to survive this long is because of Arman, but you are taking it for granted.
Go and called for that Astral Plane cultivator hiding inside the temple."
Sam spoke calmly. Arthur was shocked as soon as he heard Sam"s words.
Arthur didn"t even know what to say as they didn"t think that they would be exposed this fast.
Sam looked at him and smiled once again, but this time it looked a lot colder.
The whole scenario is a chain reaction from this place. Sam managed to deal with many of Indra"s organizations, but he forgot there is one right here. The thunder G.o.d temple is the organization that worship"s Indra and since Sam ignored it and he is not staying much in the desolate, he tried to take advantage of this and wanted to destroy the core of the Dusk organization.
Indra helped the grand elders to break through to the Astral Plane and one of them disguised as Ark to enter the western continent as the emperor. He deliberately promoted s.h.i.tty n.o.bles and made it so that they would disrupt the system Sam established. The kidnapping of girls is just one of them. After all, Indra figured that the main source of fighters for the organization are orphans and poor kids.
He wanted to stop them and also sent some people to the school in the disguise orphans to steal the knowledge as well as grow in ranks.
The son of the executive who is a representative in the Marquis city is one of the people who was bought out by them.
Sam didn"t expect that the pursuit regarding Arvi"s incident will lead to such a large plan hatching under his nose.
Arthur didn"t react and Sam just stepped forward and disappeared from the spot as he reappeared in the temple.
He stomped his feet with earth elemental energy making the whole temple quake and everyone started running out.
Soon an old man came out and looked at Sam. This is the grand elder who used b.u.t.terflies to keep track of the others.
"You are as impudent as ever. But this time, we don"t have to be afraid of you. We have the thunder G.o.d"s blessings."
But as soon as he finished his speed, Sam stepped forward and reappeared in front of the old man and threw a punch with void style.
The punch landed on the chest squarely and the old man exploded with b.l.o.o.d.y mist.
Sam then walked towards the core area of the temple where currently another old man is meditating in front of Indra"s statue.
Sensing Sam"s presence, he opened his eyes and said with a tired voice. "It seems like we indeed made a wrong choice. Will you at least leave our younger generation alone?"
Sam just killed the guy without even speaking.
The Old men are in Astral Plane initiation at best.
Sam performed the ritual and summoned Indra. When Indra saw Sam, he was shocked.
"How many times do you need to be taught a lesson to stay put. You are really p.i.s.sing me off."
Indra didn"t answer and just left with a snort.
Sam destroyed the statue and left.
He looked at Arthur and said.
"Ark should be back in his imperial palace in an hour. Forget about everyone that was sent. The thunder G.o.d temple will be in seclusion for three decades without any contact with the outside world. The only other choice is death. I need an answer sent to the city by tomorrow morning."
With that, Sam returned to the city and gave the orders for the major clean-up.
