Sam entered Starbow city, where the Starbow family has their main family estate directly.
From the data given to them, the leader or the head of the family is actually a Middle stage Astral Pre-transcendent expert.
The Astral plane is divided into four main cultivation stages and they are Astral Initiation, Astral Pre-transcendent, Astral Transcendent, Astral Consummation stage.
Each divided into four sub-stages. With Initial, middle, late, and peak stages.
And as the divide between even the substages is huge, they could have a family full of Astral Initiation stage juniors and head could only be Astral Pre-transcendent stage expert and this is the same case.
Sam has one Astral Pre-transcendent stage Raiju with him at the moment and he is in the Initial stage.
Only he is someone that could put up a fight against the Family head in a one on one situation and that too because of his superior bloodline. Otherwise it would be extremely one-sided.
But Sam has his own bag of tricks to play with.
So, the first thing he did after entering the city is to let his shadow mice go on a trip over.
By now he has more than three dozen of them with the first ten being at Astral Plane.
They are responsible for gathering info on the whole family. He also sent one of his subordinates to gather some direct info at some of the business held by the family.
The family obviously worships Hou Yi.
And they are all humans which Sam didn’t expect as it is rare for humans to hold such a high position in an upper realm like this.
But he really underestimated the family’s network. He is in a bar drinking with one of his subordinates and an arrow came at him through the entrance which he barely dodged, still he didn’t move from the spot.
He just sat there and kept on drinking. The rest of the customers left as soon as a young man came in with a bow and looked at Sam coldly.

Sam didn’t say anything and just continued sipping the beer and he tore a big piece of meat as he chewed on it, enjoying the after taste.
The young man who came in, aimed the arrow at him once again, but this time it stopped right before it reached Sam and stopped mid-air.
The arrows came one after another and they are all floating in front of Sam. The spatial barrier not only stopped them it is also holding them in the place.
Sam finished his meal and stood up. He let his subordinate settle the bill and walked towards the young man. The arrows fell on the floor by now.
The young man was a bit nervous at Sam’s nonchalance and he aimed the arrow once again. Sam tood close to him with only two inches between the arrowhead and his face.
"This close, It would be funny if you can miss at this distance."
The young man gulped hard and looked at Sam nervously, his hand is trembling and Sam smirked.
"What? Never seen a man not tremble in your presence? Your father must have done a shitty job."
The young man couldn’t take it and released the arrow.
Sam opened his mouth and caught it with his teeth. The impact created a small air wave around, but he didn’t budge. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ ɴovelFɪre.net
He dropped the arrow and spit on the ground. There is some blood as his tongue and cheeks got a bit roughed up, but within a minute it was all healed.
"Now, how about my turn." He took out his hand gun and aimed at his face. The young man is still feeling a bit shocked by the sudden change in situation.
Sam moved the muzzle a bit and shot his ear off.
"Ahhhh..." The young man knelt on the floor and started groaning in pain.
"Go back to your elders and tell them, I am not going anywhere. I am taking over this bar. We will be staying here.
I want that Tri-metal arrow of yours. I am open for the discussion over price. But if you want to use force. I am all up for it."
The bartender and the chefs all left the place immediately as they helped the young man leave the place.
Sam and his subordinates stormed the place and sat down on the tables.
"Good start I guess. But will they react extremely?"
"Like I care. If they sell it, we will open in this realm the normal way. If they don’t, they will be gone anyway, so there is no need to worry and by the way, did you get any details on their rival family?"
"Yes, there is one. But they don’t have enough normal forces. They are a bit smaller family and the only reason they are rivals is because their head is of a similar strength to this head and they wouldn’t easily recruit outsiders."
"Okay then, send them something. This Starbow family has too many business. Tell them we not only would give them half of the businesses after we take them down and also give them a food recipe from the cooking section.
The Fire-Pheasant is good we can make a proper roast with proper spice unlike these guys who are wasting their taste like this.
Tell them, they have until evening before we go undercover."
The subordinates nodded and started the work immediately.
By evening there was another young man in the bar sitting in front of Sam.
"The young master of Dewber family. Nice to meet you. I am Sam."
"Nice to meet you too. Call me Dwon, by the way. We are really interested in your proposal. But there is some resistance in the home drive by skepticism of the elders. After all, from what we saw you have around thirty Astral Plane cultivators and all of them at Initiation. That is an impressive force actually, but that is definitely not enough to deal with the whole Starbow family."
"You don’t have to worry about that. I have ways to make this happen. As long as you accept the deal, I can even give you a little demonstration and we can talk about the percentage then."
"But what if you turn your back on us. You are the outsider after all."
"You don’t have to worry too much. It is not the power I am after. The most I would stretch my fingers is to the business level. Not more than that. I am not interested in political power and I am certainly not interested in ruling. That is a tiring and thankless job in my opinion."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"But can we take your word for that?"
"As you might have already known, I am not from your realm and if it helps you understand one thing, I would like to say this. If what I want is this planet, then trust me that I wouldn’t be talking with you. I would have sacked it the moment I entered.
The only reason I am here with these forces is I have no interest in this little planet and I am pretty sure the area my organization covers over the realms is larger than this planet by a dozen times.
So, I hope you can put your paranoia aside and think."
"We would like to decide after that demonstration you are talking about."
"Oh, it would be done by tonight and I will come and meet you in your estate after that."
"Sure thing."
Dwon left the bar and went back to inform his family members.
A shadow mouse came out of nowhere and sat on the table, Sam gave it a spatial ring and said.
"You know what to do with the new toy, so don’t screw it up."
The shadow mouse disappeared.
"Boss, are you sure you want to do this, this fast. It has only been two days since we came here."
"Of course, but the shadow mice gave me info that the Starbow family is calling the troops. It seems like Hou Yi just have the order to kill.
You guys go in a group and have some fun at their winery. You don’t have to hold back, in fact do it as loud as you can, while our shadow mice will have some fun while they are distracted.
And the rest, enter the woods immediately and find a hiding spot. Split up at the mouth of the forest, but unite secretly in groups of four. Don’t forget the training. There would be some tails coming at us.
The winery group will come and join us at the forests. And use these in case of emergency."
Sam gave two transcendent scrolls and all of them made their move as they all wore black clothes which have concealing inscriptions and split up as they went different ways.
That night was bound to be an eventful night for the Starbow family.
