Chapter Attacks
For the next two days, all three brothers took rest. After a.s.signing the tasks to some of the people that owed them favours, they cut off contact with the outside world as well as within themselves and stayed isolated for a while.
But as they did that, Sam got busy. He and his friends used the dimensional drifter to take some small trips not just these two days, they did that in the seven days that Muscle was busy trying to screw Saint over.
And in these two days, the final results of those trips finally showed.
The results are of course not good for the Divine Formation Mountain. Because the rest of the remaining top 6 subordinates" bases exploded.
The remaining three people were targeted by Sam and his friends. They set up some liquid energy cells everywhere and just blasted their bases.
They didn"t bother to see if they can really kill some people. They just wanted to create enough commotion and there is one particular thing that everyone took note of.
"DUSK IS HERE"
The three words appeared on all the three bases that were attacked.
They revealed their ident.i.ties and didn"t hold them back and these things all happened at the same time.
As soon as the young masters came out of their short break, the news reached their ears. They couldn"t believe this.
"What the f.u.c.k is happening now? Why did he make such a move and to time all the attacks to happen simultaneously, just how much of the dusk organization was deployed?"
Brother Black asked as he almost pulled his hair out.
"I know you are thinking out loud, but can you shut the f.u.c.k up? We don"t have any answers to the questions and we have no way of knowing them. So it is f.u.c.king frustrating to hear your whining."
"Alright, what are we going to do now?"
"Of course a.n.a.lyze this f.u.c.king situation. Why did he attack all three of these people together and he even revealed that it is them who did it.
But when he attacked the first two, he was pretty much discreet. In fact, too discreet to the point that we didn"t know until two of them are almost dead. I heard that Smith"s condition is not good and I can"t contact Vardar for some reason.
I called in a dozen favours. All from the most proficient intelligence organizations inside and outside of the grey circle. But there is not a single news about him.
This is all way too chaotic." Brother Gold said as he noted down everything on a large board.
"The one thing that is bugging me is, why was Muscle left alone.
To be fair he should also be one of the primary targets. He is strong. He is the second strongest in terms of pure and raw fighting ability amongst the six, but he was left alone, while the others were all attacked?
Even Saint who is the weakest when it comes to fighting ability was targeted.
This is definitely not a coincidence. I think something is weird here."
Brother Silver said as he took the pen from Brother gold and added the notes on the board.
Brother Black thought of all the big talk that Muscle gave and then suddenly spoke up.
"At first I thought, he was really aggrieved when he made all of that big talk. But now that I think about it, he has been suppressed and taken for granted for a long time. Then why the h.e.l.l is he talking so big and bringing up grievances all of a sudden?
I got fooled by his words and didn"t even bother to do a thorough investigation. Maybe he is trying too hard all of a sudden to hide something?"
He felt like he really caught on to something.
"Whatever the reason might be, we need to get full answers. What do we do? Go and search it ourselves?"
"Why do we need to do that? Let"s just use the three subordinates that are attacked. We need to focus on Sivan. We don"t have much time with Sam present. So, let"s just use the three who were just attacked and make them do the investigations and interrogations if necessary."
"Alright, I will send the orders."
With that the orders were sent to the three subordinate that were attacked.
Meanwhile, at Muscle"s place, he ran to Sam"s room.
After all, he also got the information and he was s.h.i.t scared as soon as he heard about the three words left behind.
"How the f.u.c.k did you do that? Why did you do that? Are you trying to create a s.h.i.t storm for me?"
He yelled at Sam as soon as he came in. His face turned red in anger and he almost puked blood when he noticed that Sam is sitting on the chair with his legs on the table lazily as he flipped through a notebook while yawning."
"Why are you yelling like that? You could have just asked normally. How did you pull that off?"
"Pull what off? The attacks? I do have my means to get out of here make these small things happen."
"But you were under constant surveillance and from the reports, you never left the room most of the time. How is it possible that you managed to do this now?"
"I already told you, I have my means. And on top of that, your surveillance is just a namesake at best. My students back at my organization could figure ways to beat it.
You better change them or you will be screwed sooner of later.
Anyway, it could only be considered later as I already attracted some hard times for you."
"Why did you do this?"
"I want to see a show. Since your young masters are so c.o.c.ky enough to steal my prey from right under my nose, I need to show them that what they are so c.o.c.ky about is actually not worth much at all.
They are so arrogant because of the borrowed power they got from their authority as the young masters, the s.h.i.theads of this ma.s.sive organization in grey circle.
Their master"s name and the strength of you, the subordinates made them act in whatever way they wanted. There is no way I could let that go.
So I am destroying whatever that gave them that c.o.c.ky nature."
"So, you are planning to kill all of the subordinates? Including me?"
"No, Muscle. I am pretty sure I am not going to kill you. In fact, I didn"t kill Saint also. I only made him useless, and he was dead because your organization cannot accept uselessness even though he was probably one of the most useful people that worked for the organization until now with utmost loyalty.
You might be killed by the organization you are so proud of. You might be killed by Gandharva oath if you handle me poorly. But I won"t kill you at all."
"You…"
"I won"t deliberately reveal my presence here. I won"t deliberately hide it either. If my guess is not wrong, then your young masters will be after you for some time. So, if you want to save yourself, you will have to hide me.
As long you stick with the oath and want to move around, I will do as you say. I will hide in a place you suggest, I will do everything you specifically instruct me to do to not get caught.
But if I still get caught, then there is nothing much we can do. You will have to face the consequences."
"You planned this from the beginning."
"Of course I did. Why would I want to stay at your place if it weren"t for that? You are a subordinate to my enemies. Do you think I want to become your friend or something?"
"I will definitely get back at you for this. Even though I am bound by the oath now as soon as the oath ends, I will kill you and your friends by myself."
"Please, do so by all means. I don"t mind. But the problem is you might change your mind before that happens. In fact, I am sure you will change your mind before the oath was pa.s.sed."
"We will wait and see then."
That night no one related to the Divine Formation Mountain was able to get some rest.
They all had one thing in their minds. To find out the people that attacked the three subordinates and the three subordinates themselves are very intent of finding Sam as they are extremely p.i.s.sed at the moment.
They lived their lives to the fullest as they stayed at the top of the food chain in the surrounding realms. But Sam"s one attack made them lose their dignity.
They are lost with anger as they couldn"t even find a proper direction to vent. So, as soon as they got instructions from the young masters. They immediately made their move. They didn"t want to delay and for this, they were even willing to work together.
A s.h.i.t storm awaited Muscle.
