The fruits in Sam’s hands made him feel surprised and excited at the same time, he looked at Noah and was about to ask something.
"Nope, I am not telling you anything regarding this. Even if you have a single clue, I am afraid you would remake it."
Sam was confused and said.
"Then why bother giving me these fruits? These are also a clue you know."
"Of course, I know. I just want to see you struggle a bit trying to make these but to no avail. That would be a great sight to see."
"What have I ever done to you?" Sam sighed and put the fruits away.
"Nothing." She just said and went back into the inn, Kumar shrugged at Sam and left after her. Sam could almost see smugness dripping out of his face.
He really doesn’t understand what is wrong with the rest of the players. Every single one of them could only think of ways to trouble him.
But when he looked at the fruits in his hand, he couldn’t help but feel a bit excited about taking on this challenge. He threw them into the storage and went back into the room after removing the formations.
The backyard looked like nothing happened here at all.
They are now waiting for the results.
Meanwhile, the Inner Disciple, who is the person in charge is looking at the withered fields hysterically.
He doesn’t know what to do. He just kept on yelling at the farmers and other people in charge to do something and find out what happened.
It took over an hour for him to calm down and he also realized that his life is at the stake and what the consequences should be and what his first action should be.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe immediately called the town administrators including the guards responsible for the safety and said.
"I want the whole town to be on lockdown. No one should be able to get out of the town, irrespective of their status, relations, and the money they had. The town should be on lockdown. And activate the communication jamming formation. No one should be able to contact anyone outside the city from within.
No one should be able to get even a single message out through other means of communication.
We and the rest of the world should have any contact whatsoever for the time being until I ordered otherwise."
Everyone was stunned. They didn’t expect that the young man who recently came here would have such absurd orders. They wanted to ask what is wrong, but when they looked at his cold gaze, they didn’t want to and just followed orders.
Anyway, if anything happens, the responsibility also falls on this young man. All they have to do is follow orders as they were supposed to do.
After that was done, the Inner disciple went back to the farm area and he used formations to block anyone to get a view of the farm or the pasture.
He doesn’t want anyone to know what is happening. Since this is past the sunset, he doesn’t have to worry too much about other people finding out as they expect the view for the morning. But as for what he would do in the morning, he doesn’t exactly know.
He went to a pasture where a lot of small lambs are placed together and inside the small wooden cottage at that pasture his personal guards are holding down all the farmers in place.
He came in hurriedly and asked a guard who is holding a knife. Blood is dripping from the end of that knife and all the farmers are currently groaning in pain trying not to yell out loud as they bled from various knife wounds on their bodies.
"What is the situation? Did anyone of them say anything? Who did this?"
The guard looked at the Inner disciple and said.
"None of them said anything. It seems like they are not really related to this incident."
The Inner disciple couldn’t take it in and suddenly grabbed the collar of the guard.
"How can they not be related to this incident? How? If they, who are always at the farm are not responsible for the incident? Then are you responsible for this? Huh?"
He became more and more aggressive as he kept on grabbing the collar near to him.
The guard looked cold and he slowly grabbed the arm of the Inner disciple and twisted it a bit making him lose his grab on the collar.
"It seems like you have forgotten your status. We are only your personal guards in the name. We are not your servants. We are only here because the young lady was insistent on marrying you. Even the young lady wouldn’t treat me with such disrespect. But you, who is just living off on hugging a woman’s thigh is trying to treat me like this? You better mind your place."
With that, he and the rest of the personal guards left. Only one person who is his personal attendant stayed there.
He carefully walked to the young master and said.
"Young Master, I think this has something to do with the news we received a few days ago. This might be the plot of the Fiend tribe against the Myriad Beast sect."
The Inner disciple suddenly looked a bit stunned and he felt that was possible, but all of a sudden, his eyes dimmed again and he said.
"Even if it was true, what is the point. The sect elders clearly stated, even if a war occurs, I am the only one responsible for the safety of this place. I cannot just escape this responsibility. They also particularly mentioned that I would need to personally compensate the losses to the sect. I cannot let this happen."
"Yes, of course. What you said is hundred percent true. But there is another option. Even if you failed to defend this field, if you managed to find the person that did this and offer them up to the higher-ups of the sect, they would focus on them instead of you and even if you don’t escape scot-free, you can escape with little damage.
And there is also a way to the escape that little damage."
The inner disciple finally looked hopeful and asked in a hurried tone.
"What is it tell me? Please tell me. If you help me go through the crisis, I will make you a proper disciple of the sect, in fact, I would even give you a high-level beast for the contract which would be suitable for the attribute. Please tell me."
The personal attendant bowed slightly with a smile and said.
"It is a simple young master. All you have to do is salvage a bit of loss and claim that you apprehended the culprit in the middle of sabotaging your crops."
"Salvage a bit of loss? I don’t have anything left but withered herb stalks. What can I do with that?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Of course, you can do something. What if instead of coming for the main farm, the attacker came at the whole town? The herbs of the other people will also be destroyed and while you are investigating the issue, you found the traces of the attack on the main farm. You managed to stop it by slightly losing some herbs and also the herbs going down in their quality a bit.
But you would still be the person who managed to stop such a large-scale evil scheme of the Fiend tribe from succeeding and even caught the culprit.
Since the guards don’t bother with outing you on this, all you have to do is erase the evidence after the deed is done with their help and making this story sound completely legitimate."
The Inner disciple started thinking rapidly and the more thought, the more this idea made sense.
All he has to do is steal all the produce from other private farms in the town and claim that it is his produce and replace the product with withered stalks overnight while the farm owners are busy with something important without anyone guarding anything.
Then, he would ’catch’ the culprit and secure his position.
He immediately ran after the guards and met with the guard captain who is the person that threatened him earlier.
"I have a task for you. Go and capture Red."
"Red, the guy that operates the stealing and banditry in the surroundings?"
"Yes, capture him and bring him back. He is the culprit of this incident."
The Inner disciple said with a meaningful smile.
The guard captain looked at him disdainfully as he understood what he is planning, but he didn’t care too much about how he did and what he did as long as he lived up to his expectations. Only results matter.
But he still asked.
"Isn’t he someone who pays you the commission on time? If you turn on him, the situation with others will not be good."
He advised kindly for the young lady’s sake.
"What do you mean turning on him? He is the one who took bribes from the fiend tribe and tried to destroy the fields here. We are only catching him in action. Do not forget that."
With that, the inner disciple left without caring what the guard thought.
