That night, the winery of the Starbow family exploded in an extremely eye-catching way.
Not a single warehouse was left. Everything exploded and when the news reached the Starbow family and heard that it was done by four Astral Plane cultivators, they are understandably p.i.s.sed.
And they sent their forces to that area. But what they don"t understand is that it is a complete distraction and the distraction as an advantage Shadow mice are acting up as they fixed some brick sized bombs in the residences of some of the Astral Plane cultivators who are going to the Winery.
The team that went to winery already disappeared by the time the forces arrived, but the family members are not done with them, they already got a tip that Sam"s forces are on their way to the forest, so they decided to start the pursue them in the forest, but what they don"t know is they are walking straight into the ambush.
Sam is holding his sniper after a long time as he used his energy vision to the maximum.
After reaching the Astral Plane, he was astonished by the energy vision"s limits.
He can scan the whole patch of forest with a single glance and he can he even take a look at the spiritual energy within the leaf and if he concentrated hard enough, he can even the energy flow network of a tree from its root to the leaves.
It is a great upgrade and with the sniper and spatial element, he felt like he can easily kill the opponent, the dodging wouldn"t be that effective and he proved just that.
The moment the first person entered the forest, he pulled the trigger and it has spatial element and void style combined.
Which caused the contact point to have a small spatial crack with some turbulent vacuum trying to suck the atmosphere out and a man following the fallen target who placed his hand in that area by mistake, realized that it is a mistake hard way and too after losing a couple of fingers to the mending s.p.a.ce crack.
And then began the hunt of the archers from the Starbow family who wanted to be the hunters but ended up being the prey.
Out of around thirty people only ten people were left and all of them retreated to save their own lives. Sam didn"t continue the pursuit, he just let them be.
When the forces from the family returned home and entered their own residences to take a rest after they gave their reports.
They saw this weird metallic brick attacked to a pillar or a wall.
They scanned it with their spiritual sense, but there is a concealing formation, which they couldn"t break with spiritual sense.
So, they walked towards it carefully and were contemplating whether to touch it or not, some of them called the servants and asked what it is and some of them just decided to examine it.
But no matter what decision they made, as soon as they stood straight in front of the brick, it was activated.
This is one of Sam"s new toys he made. Something similar to motion sensor activation. As long as a living object appears within three of its sensory range the spirit enchanted to it will activate the bomb.
The first thing that came out of it is the purple smoke. The astral plane level hydra paralytic and anesthetic poison.
When the people that inhaled it knelt down in numbness and felt their bodies going to numb, then came the Methane gas.
This methane gas is extremely rare but it is not exactly the most effective thing against the Astral Plane cultivators even though it was made from an Astral Plane level beast.
It can injure them, but to kill them in mere seconds is not exactly its advantages as they can easily resist and that is why the anesthetic and the paralytic poisons.
Now the methane filled the whole room and the brick finally exploded.
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
A series of explosions happened and the people that are inside including the servants that are with their masters answering the questions about the poison started burning. Luckily for the family the fire and the explosion range was within the room, otherwise other people in the house would have also been burned down.
But not all the bombs are activated and not all the people who are part of the explosions died.
One of them who is also a poison cultivator managed to escape as he tried his best to resist the effects of the hydra poison.
He managed to fight them back a little bit and tried his best to defend himself from the explosion.
But still, he is paralytic and his wbole body burned.
He is barely breathing and there is minimal chance that he would make it long.
But he still managed to give out some information regarding the bricks he saw, but too bad, he wasn"t able to say "not to go near them"
So, instead of helping them, it actually killed more people as they spotted more bricks.
The explosions in the strongest family of the city are not something people can ignore. Everyone started becoming nervous and at this moment, Sam who is in the forest and looking at all of it with his eye technique from far away took the dimensional drifter and pinned a location before going there.
Within the Dewber family. The family elders are currently having a meeting regarding the explosions of the winery they heard and at this moment, they got the news about the explosions in the family.
When everyone is still in shock, something even more shocking happened.
They felt intense spatial fluctuations in the surroundings and before they could make sense of it, Sam appeared out of nowhere.
"h.e.l.lo, nice to meet you. It seems like you already got the news. So, if you are open for the cooperation, then we can talk right now."
He said casually as if coming out of nowhere is completely normal and sat on an empty chair.
The only one who is calm is the family head who is looking at Sam with squinted eyes and the one most shocked is Dwon who felt terrified by Sam"s appearance.
The rest of the elders are going through so many thoughts.
They don"t know what Sam is trying to prove from this, but they do know that he proved that he can enter any place he wants.
This is a scary thing for them.
"So, what do you want?"
The family head asked without any expression.
"I already told you, I don"t need any political power in your planet. And as I told you before, if I want to sack the planet I would have done so as soon as I entered. It would be hard for your guys to resist me. The most that your planet interests me is in a business Sense and that too not too much.
I could make some money off of it.
So, I would take sixty percent of the family businesses of the Starbow family."
"We think you said fifty this morning and we are thinking even that is too high."
"Well, that offer is this morning. Now I showed my hand already and you are still undecided, so you can expect me to not to increase my share right?"
"What kind of cooperation do you need? Do you want me to kill the family head?"
"Not really, mostly keep his busy along a companion of mine and in fact you might even be able to kill him easily if you cooperated."
"I would like to meet your companion before that."
Sam chuckled and waved his hand.
The raiju at Astral plane Pre-transcendence came out of thin air and stood in front of them calmly.
But the family-head could feel the sense of threat. He could see that the beast is not easy for him to kill. He would at least lose an arm and a leg and there is no guarantee that even then they would be able to kill it.
"He is kind of like my uncle in seniority, so you better be careful of your thoughts and actions. By any chance there was any signs of betrayal, results would be dire."
Sam said calmly. Just went the elders wanted to rage, the family head stopped them and let Sam continue.
"Even when I attacked the Star bow family, I only attacked the people of my cultivation level and maybe as collateral damage some Consummate level servants must have died.
But if there is any betrayal, I will jump on your family, from infants to the old men, I wouldn"t care f they are guilty or innocent of your crime, I will come and kill and bounce.
That is it.
So, you better make a decision fast."
With that, he waved his hand once again and Raiju disappeared before he walked out of the meeting room casually.
"Wait. We have a deal."
The family head called for him from behind and offered his hand for a shake.
