nWhile Sam is starting a war, the girl in his house is in for a turmoil.

nShe is Reena. The assistant and the friend of the most beloved princess Natalie of the Empire Orion. She and the Princess are also part of the competition. But nobody knows that except a select few.

nThey are the two people in the second team of the imperial capital who wore masks and dark robes concealing their identities.

nShe infiltrated Sam's home, just like how they planned, she felt that plan was pretty good and after Watt said that there are valuable things inside the room, she was convinced that Sam's card must be in there.

nAfter all no one is carrying their main card while they are on the streets, so she was sure of it.

nShe waited, when the four men in the house went outside, she slowly went inside that room, but as soon as she stepped in, she was shocked.

nThere was only a scroll placed at the centre of the room and the whole room was emptied out.

nShe felt that something was off, and nervously walked towards the scroll. She took the scroll and looked at the contents. She was more and more shocked at what was written on it.

n

"Hello, Miss Reena.

nI have to say that your act is mediocre at best, but I should still appreciate you for your persistence and determination to get into my house.

nNow, you are trapped in that house and since no one knows that you are contestant, I might not even have a penalty if I killed you, so before you die, please do contact the princess who sent you here to plot against me and gain my points and wealth to come and save you and of course, if she can.

nGood Bye.

"

nHer face turned pale and she didn't even know what to do.

nShe forced herself to calm down and walked towards the door, but when she tried to open it, she sensed that there was a huge suppressing force which started suppressing her out of nowhere.

nShe could feel that there are many numerous formations in this place and when she grits her teeth and came out of the room, she saw Ape and Mia sitting in the hall as if waiting for her.

nShe took out the communication token and contacted the princess and conveyed the details, the other party flew into panic immediately.

nBy this time, Sam already ended his communication and was already moving towards the Artisan tower.

nIn the imperial palace. Princess Natalie ran towards Nathan's room and barged in.

nNathan just put down the communication token Sam has left and looked at the Princess who is fuming red with anger.

n

"Reena is trapped.

"

nThe Princess with chestnut long hair and big eyes yelled on top of her lungs with her beautiful face filled with a frown.

nSeeing that the Prince is not saying anything she continued.

n

"I told you not to use her, but you just have to insist on doing so. I am telling you if something happens to her, you would be dead meat.

"

n

"Natalie, do remember that I am your brother. You are threatening me for a servant?

"

nNatalie didn't reply and Nathan continued.

n

"Sam, knew of our ploy since beginning, not only does he know that we are plotting, he even knows who is plotting and what kinds of measures we are taking. He started acting now. He is planning to hunt down every person who is after him for the past days.

nHe knew Reena is from our side since beginning, he was never oblivious. In fact, he is watching us from the dark as if we are clowns who are entertaining him.

"

nHis voice went colder and colder as he spoke. This is down right humiliation. With all the network and statuses, the six of them seven if they include the princess too, they couldn't deal with a young man who entered the capital few weeks ago.

nEven worse, that guy was watching them make fools out of themselves.

nAt this moment, Natalie spoke again.

n

"I don't care what you think of it now, come with me now and rescue Reena. From the competition rules, only we can deal with this matter, if we use any of our sub-ordinates, things would get messy.

"

n

"Why not, Reena is not known to many and no one knows she is participating except for us, if we can just make sure that we keep quiet, we can get back at him easily using our guards.

"

n

"Then, that also gives him the reason to kill her. He still kept her alive only for this reason, that she is competitor, if we want to use this loophole, then he could do so as well.

"

nNathan became silent and nodded in agreement. Both of them left the palace on the beasts and went towards Sam's house, but on their way, they saw the spots where Sam and his companions made the explosions.

nTheir Palace made sure that they won't be able to see anything that is going on outside.

nThey didn't know that Sam had made such a fuss.

nAs they landed near Sam's house, they saw the formations around his house.

nEven with just a glance they could see that there are many formations overlapping on each other. It would be hard to just get in.

nNathan was thinking the next step, when his communication token gave off a signal.

n

"Prince Nathan, Sam and his team are here, they are causing chaos at my son's residence, please remedy the situation, help me.

" Artisan tower head called over and made a ruckus, he was yelling left and right without even bothering to listen to what Prince had to say.

nThe communication was cut off, as tower head seemed to have left on emergency.

nAt this moment, Sam is hovering three thousand meters away from the artisan tower. It is not that he doesn't want to deal with them up close, but rather he wants to cover a large area.

nHe took out a sniper rifle out of the storage.

nThis is one of the things he made in the past few days. He really doesn't want to make these guns and stuff, because they can tilt the balance in the society.

nBut he felt that this society is already a mess and even more, he was stupid to think that a mere weapon would change the social balance. These guys are already rotten. He doesn't care anymore.

nNow, he will cover from this long range.

nThe three-kilometre radius from this place are all under his control. He remembered the last time he used the sniper.

nHaving a person's life in his hands, taking that life without even the target knowing. He has to say; this is a great feeling.

nNow, Philip, Watt, Jack and the shadow mice all entered the area.

nTheir first target is Patrick.

nSince, this guy is stupid enough to provoke Sam first, he is the first target.

nFirst thing, Sam did is taking down the guards, hired thugs that are placed at Patrick's house.

nHe is taking them with head shots. The disadvantage of a sniper which is changing the ammo.

nNow he doesn't even have to do so.

nHe is enjoying the process.

nMeanwhile, the trio on the ground are bombing the place up. They remembered every face of the people who followed them and hunted them down, now the roles changed.

nThey don't have to worry about being ganged up, because their surprise attack caught these guys off guard.

nNow, they are reaping the lives like it was nothing.

nSoon, more than hundred people are down. Only a few candidates are left and that was Sam's doing, he already informed them about this. They might not remember the faces of all the candidates but Sam does.

nSo, whoever he shot in the arm are candidates and they don't have to worry about those guys, because Sam shot them with an anaesthetic bullet which would make them unconscious.

nAll they have to do is collect the cards, meanwhile the shadow mice are responsible for searching the cards hidden by the candidates.

nNow only Patrick was left in the spot. Standing there shivering.

nThe tower head came out and as soon as he saw this scene, he was consumed with fury.

nHe looked towards Sam's direction and bellowed.

n

"SAM, HOW DARE YOU?

"

nHe was ready to make a move but then a voice stopped him.

n

"Old man, if I were you, I wouldn't do that.

"

nTower head turned around and saw a man in his mid-thirties sitting on a tree. He is a Nascent stage cultivator.

n

"First Sword of the Sword Marshall, what are you doing here?

"

nHe is one of the six subordinates of the Sword Marshall who are responsible for hiding cards, the shadow mice who are at the scene conveyed the message to Sam.

nSam is also waiting for what would this guy do, so he moved further and arrived at the spot. The man leisurely got down from the tree and said.

n

"I am here to make sure that an old man like you wouldn't cause any harm to the candidates.

"

nThe tower head's face turned red in embarrassment and he said grudgingly.

n

"How is this me, using my power to harm him? He is the one attacking the people from the artisan tower. He is abusing the safety provided by the rules.

"

n

"But from what I know, I saw these guys hunted them down in the past few days, so you don't expect them to take it lying down right? This is just a retaliation.

"

nThe artisan tower head was dumbstruck and he started gritting his teeth in anger but he didn't dare to make a move.

nThe person who is in front of has a cultivation level lower than him, but he didn't dare to start a fight, because even if he does win, the fight won't end there.

nThe six swords of Sword Marshall is not a name that could be taken as a joke. They are not one to be messed with, even the emperor has to show some respect to their team on the account of their achievements and their prowess.

nHe doesn't dare to make a move.

nThe First sword looked at Sam with a smile and said.

n

"You can go on.

"

nSam nodded his head and raised his rifle and shot Patrick on his arm. This is not an anaesthetic bullet though, it is a normal ammo which tore open a large wound on the arm.

nHe came down from the harbinger and took out the reaper.

nHe walked towards the wailing and whining Patrick and cut down the arm and picked it up without even talking. He looked at Patrick as if he was looking at the lowest form of vermin.

nHe turned towards Philip and others and said.

n

"Take the cards of the big fish, don't bother with the small fries. But remember to take an arm from every candidate who are against us. They should have a memory of this day and have a reminder in their hearts.

nWhen they see us, their bodies should react on instincts that we are not touchable.

"
