The fiasco was finally over.
The three of them were killed and this time, Sam even managed to hold his urge to torture one of them even though he called him b.a.s.t.a.r.d which even surprised him.
Anyway, the problem is resolved for now, so they went back to the stray realm without any delay. Grivon went to meet Migron"s father to give the details of the one who gave up Migron"s situation and let him handle it.
The investigation this time really surprised him. They managed to get the face of information pretty easily, but they weren"t able to capture him for a week or so and as soon as they caught him, they managed to figure out the whole thing within a day and the worst part is, the investigation ended right under Grivon"s nose, with his closest subordinates exploiting some loophole in their soul contract.
This is all a bit overwhelming for him and he didn"t want to interact with anyone for the next few days. In fact, he even forgot to deal with Sam"s issue of Jyon coming to him daily along with the kids.
Sam really wanted Grivon to go to Giyon and stop this whole fiasco, but now he couldn"t bring himself to pester Grivon about the issue, since he took a pretty big blow.
There are only two other options. One is to go to Jyon directly and tell her about her sister"s intentions, but there is a chance that this will backfire big time. There is a possibility that Jyon would have some new thoughts which were not there before and instead of getting away from Sam, she might even fulfil Giyon"s wishes.
The power of suggestion is sometimes too lethal.
The third option is going to Giyon and try with her again.
After two days of dodging him, Giyon finally agreed to meet him.
"Can you stop Jyon from coming to meet me? It is extremely uncomfortable and it is effecting my teaching performance."
"Really? The kids are saying that you are amazing, they are extremely impressed by you and they don"t want to do anything else but to listen to your cla.s.ses all the time."
"Of course, they would. They didn"t see my best yet, but my teaching skills are still better than every teaching experience they had, but still, I am not satisfied with not being my best."
"So, why don"t you tell her that yourself? I am pretty sure she would understand."
"No, she wouldn"t. She is thinking that I am about turn these kids into genocidal, cold blooded maniacs and she wants to make sure that I don"t do anything of that kind. If I suggest that she doesn"t come, she would definitely a.s.sume that I am doing something of that kind and she wouldn"t move.
She would stick closer, which is the last thing I want."
"Then it seems like both of us cannot do anything about this matter."
"You can. Please call her back."
"Why are you so reluctant? Do you know how many men out there would wage a war to be with her?"
"Do you know how many out there are stupider than me?"
Giyon was stumped and said.
"I am not telling her anything. If you really want to get rid of her, why don"t you tell the truth about you. Tell her all the ma.s.sacres and genocides you created and tell her the destruction you bring everywhere you go. She would never be interested in you in that way."
Sam chuckled and said.
"You really treat me like a fool. Do you really think I am going fall for that? Your sister is a body full of optimism. The more I tell her about her, the more she would be curious about what I am not telling her and once she knows about that, she would think that I am some profound combination of a saint and a devil.
If anything, my past will only attract her to me more. Please take her away. I am telling you this because I am sure you don"t want to let your sister suffer."
"You are her only way out of suffering as far as I could see."
"No, if she is with me, she would be jumping into the stove from the pan.
I will be direct with you. I would never be able to give the commitment and attention she deserves, she is pure, too pure for this world and she deserves a partner that would take care of her and treat her right.
I wouldn"t have time or energy left behind to treat her that way.
I have a long and dangerous journey ahead of me and Mari Clan is merely a small part in it. You think she will suffer in a political marriage, but she would have to face a million enemies that would try to attack her in a million ways.
I don"t want to be responsible for such suffering on any person."
"You have your friends. They are also in the same danger you mentioned. But I don"t see them suffering."
"That is different."
"How?"
"We grew together. There is no use or a way to separate ourselves. We grew as one and we are completely stuck together."
"Treat her the same way."
"I cannot. Please understand my situation and don"t push your sister into an inevitable suffering which you knew will come in fear of the possible suffering which she might or might not have to face."
With those words Sam left the place.
He believed that Giyon would consider his words and stop Jyon from coming, but the next day as he waited for the kids, he saw Jyon walking with them once again and sighed.
He couldn"t help but feel a bit frustrated, but he still finished the cla.s.s and directly went to her.
"Did your sister talk to you?"
"Yeah, she did."
"What did she say?"
"What does it matter to you about what happened between me and my sister? Why are you asking Mr. Sam?" She asked with a smile and just from that smile Sam knew that this would be a difficult scenario.
After the cla.s.s is over, he directly went to Giyon. He didn"t even bother to make the appointment like before and barged into her meeting room, where instead of a meeting which she was supposed be in, she is in the middle of enjoying a meal.
Sam looked at her with frustration and said.
"What would convince you to even consider my words? Why can"t you understand? There is no use in forcing your sister into a marriage with a person that doesn"t love her? Why are you so adamant about this?"
"I am pretty sure, it would be okay even if you don"t love her."
"What made you think that?"
"You are a guy who values responsibility. That is why you are so adamant on not to let this happen. You knew that if she becomes your wife, you would be responsible for her safety, you cannot stop yourself from dividing your time and resources to save her and prepare her from any possible dangers she might have to face because of your exploits.
You cannot let that happen and take your time away from all the things that you need to do.
That is why you don"t want to do this.
But that is exactly the reason that I believe you are the perfect person. You are responsible and accountable. You respect their traits too much to leave her without giving her enough attention. After all, it would become your responsibility as her husband, to make her feel loved."
Sam doesn"t know what to say. He became exasperated.
Giyon chuckled at him and said.
"I already told her not to go to you anymore. Of course I couldn"t say all the things you said to me. But I tried to stop her from going to the cla.s.s, but she is adamant on going.
I believe you are a bit late with your request yesterday. She might have gained interest in you."
Sam wanted to pull his hair out. But he controlled his urge and said.
"Can"t you really do anything about this?"
"I cannot. I am really sorry."
He sighed and left the place, when he was exiting the door, he couldn"t help but say out loud.
"At least, pretend you are not pleased by the situation. That grin on your face is giving it away."
Sam walked back to Grivon"s residence and then went to the stray realm. He decided that he better drown himself in work than care about this situation. Anyway, he is not staying here permanently, so all he has to do is wait it out and make sure that he doesn"t give any unnecessary signals.
Once Grivon comes back on to the track, things would be easier.
So, he went there and he saw Grivon already loading himself with work.
He came to Sam with a list of people.
"These are the next targets for decoys. I looked through the list of businesses you have and these people are involved in those businesses. But before that, it is better to make them suffer losses in their secret businesses.
So, if you give out your next product, we can start working on this.
The faster this is over, the faster we could get Giyon on board and you will get that umbrella."
