Chapter 1416 - Arrest
*GRRR…* *RUBBLE*
The arrow that was shot into the hole is actually an injecting arrow with poison in it. As soon as it hit the target, the earth around the hole rumbled a bit as a creature came out. Sam looked at it with a frown.
Because it is not the same creature as before.
He managed to notice that something is wrong when the creature that doesn't exactly have any intelligence is trying so hard to keep that soldier near that hole. He figured something must be in there and he also knew that someone is nearby controlling the creatures.
So, he made sure that he didn't miss the creature and alerted the controller in the process.
But what was in the hole made him completely unbelievable.
The creature that came out of the hole is completely different from the ones that are moving out.
The creature is a bit larger and its arms are much longer and bigger. It is hunched forward like it was an old man that couldn't stand straight.
But from the looks of it, it is definitely not weak. It is just not as strong as the creatures outside.
The arrow was stuck straight at his chest and the flesh there turned purple and green.
Sam kicked the ground and jumped high with his staff as he made his way towards this creature.
He smashed the staff at its neck with void style making it crack and held the creature to use the observation ability on it.
"Be careful at the holes. Archers aim at every hole you can see. Don't hold back. Three arrows for each one."
As soon as he spoke, the arrows whistled past and the holes were targeted. Some creatures burst out of the ground after the arrows hit them and they struggled as the poison made their flesh corrode rapidly and they are unable to put up any fight.
Within the next fifteen minutes, Sam guided the fight to finish it off.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll the creatures are dead. And except for some serious injuries to a few people, he managed to keep them alive.
Sam heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that he cannot afford to lose these people. They don't work for him, they are Grivon's subordinates and he felt that it is his responsibility to keep them alive when he was gone.
He sighed as he asked the subordinates to collect all the corpses. He even stored the new creature on his own. He saw the basic structure and some differences of the creature and could see that its purpose is entirely different than the ones that are fighting.
But as they were cleaning the mess up, the enforcement team arrived.
Sam looked at the person leading the team and frowned. He had a bad feeling about this. Because this person is on the list of people on Grand elder pon's side.
He shouldn't be in charge of this area at all. But currently, he is the one who came here.
Sam knew that something was off.
The enforcement team didn't come for Sam and the subordinates, rather they went for the city guard and got the details. After that, the team captain directly came to Sam and said.
"We need you to follow us to the enforcement office of the clan."
"May I ask why?"
"We need you to question you regarding this scenario."
"You can question me here. I am not comfortable about coming to your office."
"Why would that be?"
"Because I don't have a good impression of your clan."
"Says the freeloader who is mooching off of our strength." At this moment the vice-captain of the team came spoke in the middle.
Sam looked at him with a frown.
The captain gave the vice-captain a stern look before he turned to Sam.
"I apologize. But I believe the safety of the citizens and the clan takes precedence over your comfort. We need you to come to our office."
"I am sorry. I am not coming. If you have any questions, you can either ask here. Or you can come and meet me at Giyon's residence."
"What? You became accustomed to hiding under her skirt and now that she is not here, you are finding comfort in her home?" The vice-captain shot out once again and this time Sam's aura changed. Killing intent burst out as it enveloped the vice-captain.
"It is not a good thing to test my limits, Vice-captain. It is easy to talk, but it will be hard to bear the consequences. So, captain, if you want your team to be in one piece, you better know how to reign them."
The captain looked at Sam coldly as he blocked him from looking at his vice-captain who froze on the spot because of the overwhelming killing intent.
"I hate to do this, but you leave me no choice."
"Mr. Sam under the suspicion of being the cause of releasing these creatures into the city, you are under arrest."
As soon as he said it out loud, the enforcement team surrounded Sam and Grivon's subordinates.
Sam looked at the captain coldly. The captain had that slight smile on his face and the vice-captain showed the blatant mockery in his eyes.
Sam looked at the enforcement team. Everyone is at the Peak stage of Transcendence and the vice-captain and the captain are at the initial stage of Astral Plane Consummation.
It would be hard for him to secure the victory.
He would lose too many people. As for escaping this place, it is still an option. He doesn't know what will happen if Sam really lets himself be captured by this team. He is sure that as long as the news reached Gail, Gamin, and Yuvana, they will try to get him out.
But he doesn't think that they would be forceful about the approach. They will not just disregard the clan leader and forcefully take him away. He is not their son or relative. At most he is a business partner of their children.
As he was thinking, he closed his eyes and let himself calm down, before extending his hands.
"You can arrest me, but I demand an immediate trial with the Clan leader."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Immediate trial? Mr. Sam, we need to investigate your involvement of you in the crime. The most you are is a suspect that is not cooperating, you wouldn't get a trial unless you were proven to be guilty."
"Yes, I won't. But I am sure you will get a trial. I am filing a complaint against you for arresting me without any reasonable grounds for suspicion."
As soon as he spoke, the five archers who are standing on the compound wall took out the transference tokens and escaped followed by the subordinates who are standing around doing the same thing.
They all left the scene and only Sam stood there.
The captain looked at Sam calmly.
"Are they going to file the complaint to you? Do you think some subordinates who are a bit better than guards can score an audience with the clan leader?"
"No, but Grivon's parents can."
As soon as Sam said that, the smile on Captain's face stiffened up a bit. He is stumped.
He completely ruled out this possibility from the start and didn't think much. he didn't think much because he believed that Sam wouldn't just surrender like this.
After all, who in the right mind would let themselves be arrested. Particularly, when they knew that the person arresting them is a pawn of the enemy.
He was actually counting on that fact and thought that Sam would run away. That is their plan from the start.
If by any chance Sam didn't refuse the arrest and complied. They knew what to do after bringing him in. But now things are tricky. Every citizen in the surroundings heard all the commotion.
The city guard captain who was monitoring the situation from the start also frowned. He didn't like the enforcement team's approach. In his opinion, Sam's timely arrival saved many people. The city guards are too scattered to gather at one spot easily and even if they did, most of them are not up to par with a situation like this.
They need to call the special squad which is not enough to deal with hundred opponents that they have no idea or means to defeat.
Sam and the subordinates saved their asses, but the enforcement team is suspecting him of the crime.
He immediately understood that the enforcement team has an ax to grind. So, when Sam spoke out loud, he immediately made his move.
"The city guard shall guard the crime scene until the trial is over."
The enforcement team captain's face turned blacker immediately. He knew he fell into the hole he dug himself and he awkwardly arrested Sam before taking him back to the clan grounds.
By the time they reached the enforcement department, the clan leader's attendant is waiting for them with the trial notice.. The notice for the witnesses was also sent as the city guard captain himself sent a request to testify.
