Chapter 1437 - Interest
As Sam is checking out the hill and the surroundings, he noticed that a bunch of people are making their way there.
They are all coming from different directions and within the people that came, Gail, Gamin and Yuvana are also present.
Even the grand elders that don"t come out of their residences usually are there.
Gail took the lead and the rest of them backed down when he asked Sam.
"What happened here?"
Sam looked at the rest of the people and said.
"It is an experiment. I was curious about the material of the hill and did an experiment to see how it can fare against lightning and other elements. It is indeed great. I am thinking about trying to use it in some of the projects."
"Bulls.h.i.t, there is no way a guy of your strength can create such a large explosion. What the f.u.c.k happened here?"
One of the core elders screamed as soon as Sam said that.
Sam looked at him and his clothes which seemed like they were hurriedly put on and guessed what he must have been doing.
He couldn"t help but smile and said.
"You don"t know me sir and I am pretty sure you don"t know what I can do. So, please get out of my hair. It was an experiment and I got permission from the person who is in charge of this area. Right Elder Saran?"
Everyone looked at Saran who just walked out of the home. He looked at Sam who met his eyes and gestured something.
Saran nodded and said.
"It was just an experiment. You guys don"t need to mind it."
"What kind of stupid experiment is this?" Another elder asked in frustration.
But Sam smiled and said.
"I am pretty sure I don"t have to reveal that to you. With all the things that are going on, particularly with how your clan is trying to frame me time and again, I wouldn"t want to divulge any more information about me than you already have."
Everyone grudgingly left after a few more failed attempts to get the information.
After the whole scene was cleared, he went to meet with Saran and said.
"Don"t ever, reveal your kids to the outside world. Tell the world whatever it takes to hide them. I will try to make some things that would help them hide their speciality in the future.
Your kids are gifted and they will be legendary when they grow up, but this comes at a cost of them being unable to interact with the people of their age and they should be careful of showing off their prowess.
So, before you could figure out the perfect time, save them.
And do not tell anyone about the lightning and the storm that just stayed for a few minutes. Because of its oddity, they will be convinced that it was just one of my experiments. n.o.body will suspect you for that.
No matter who asks, just put the blame on me."
Saran looked at Sam with a conflicting expression. He doesn"t know why Sam is helping him this much. After all, in the circle he mingles with, people don"t really do so much without expecting something in return.
Sam knew very well what he is thinking, but he doesn"t have any explanation to say. Even if he did, it wouldn"t be believable, so he decided to just stay put.
After giving out the instructions.
Sam went back to Giyon"s residence with her and Grivon.
They saw that Sam is in very deep thinking, so they let him be.
But they are curious about the lightning strikes.
The problem is that they are not the only ones that are curious about the strikes. The normal people of the city didn"t care much since the storm was fleeting. But the spies who are within the city from various areas are very curious.
Curious enough to investigate and let the news of the whole situation pa.s.s to their higherups.
They didn"t take the fact that Sam was experimenting at a face value. Even though Sam"s name has been going on and on for a bit within the circle, they just thought he is a variable in the Gaja clan"s power struggle for youngsters.
Of course, except for the Mari clan members who knew a bit more.
The news of the different coloured lightning strikes within the Gaja clan estate spread like wildfire within the circle of organizations on the same level.
It even attracted some people within the grey circle.
And within that grey circle, one particular person with a notable authority took the news a bit more seriously.
Far away from the Gaja Clan.
In the realm called the Divine Graveyard. Within a planet, there is a small mountain that stood alone within a large dead forest.
An old man with a thin figure sat in meditation. He has a long beard that reached the middle of his torso and his hair spread wildly behind him, clearly overgrown.
A young man is standing in front of him with his hands crossed.
He is tall, muscular and robust.
He also has long hair that reached the floor.
"I heard something. A four coloured lightning strike happened in the Gaja clan estate. It struck a hill and it was said to be an experiment of a young talented man.
But the thing is at the same time a lady of the Gaja clan was pregnant due to give birth."
The old man opened his eyes and frowned.
"Go on."
"The news I got states that she was pregnant with quadruplets. Within this short brain I have, I remember something you said in a drunken stupor. So, I came here to give the news."
The Old man"s frown got deepened and he immediately stood up. He slowly walked to the adjacent room with his hair dragging on the ground.
The room is full of scrolls and books. He searched through the rack and finally fished out a very old scroll.
He opened it up and looked through the information.
"The four offspring of genetic abominations shall summon the four lightning strikes and the offspring shall be the reason for a start of a new era."
He read the words out loud as he looked at the scroll.
He walked out with it and gave it to the young man.
The young man read the words and said.
"This is it. This is what you said. What do you want to do? You are still trying to solve the old man"s puzzles?"
"Yes, I am."
"Are you sure? This is the Gaja clan we are talking about and you know the prince that belongs to that clan. If he gets to be involved, we wouldn"t be having an easy time and we still need to take that crazy old couple into the account."
"Don"t get ahead of ourselves. We need to find out if the quadruplets are born without any trouble. That is a completely unavoidable condition for the prophecy.
Also, confirm if they have any oddities related to them.
We need to confirm so many things before we make a move.
But if they are confirmed to be fulfilling all kinds of conditions, we need to be prepared. I don"t care what it would cost. I will be needing those children.
I want to have the cause of the new era to be within my control."
The young man sighed and said.
"Alright, father. I will try to do what you want me to do. But from what I heard. The prince and the crazy couple went home. Things would be difficult. Anyway, I am interested in this kid named Sam, is it okay if I dealt with him?"
"Do you what you want. But remember, my name shouldn"t come out. The name Ghora shouldn"t be anywhere near the whole incident."
"Alright."
With that, the young man left.
While two absurdly hairy father and son duo are thinking of the four children which the Gaja clan doesn"t even know about even though they were within their estate, someone else somewhere is also interested in this situation.
Within the estate of the Star-eye sect.
The sect that Butler Si used to find Sam"s location at the start of this farce.
The leader of the sect received the information regarding the weird phenomenon and just like how the old man in the graveyard reacted, he also looked through the scrolls and took out a similar one.
After confirming the information in it once again, he immediately ran out and met with one of the elders.
"I need every spy we have to move to the Gaja clan"s city. I need to find out if there is anyone pregnant at that time and if they had quadruplets born.
I want to know everyone who was involved in this whole thing. Healers that were treating the pregnant woman, the midwives that facilitated the delivery. Everything."
"Why are you so anxious brother? What is the importance of this?"
"The importance is because this thing can change the fate of our whole sect. A fate that was not completely predetermined. A fate that is blank canvas and can be painted beautifully with one variable.
I will be the one to bring our sect to glory."
