Chapter 307: Going to thunder god temple-II
The Beast faction.
Sanjay is still wearing his black robes covering his face completely.
He is inside a private room where the man who ordered to block Sam's report was staying.
"Who is Sam?" He asked the man with confusion and curiosity.
The man only smiled at the question, with no intention to reply.
"Uncle, is there something I have to know? Or am I not qualified to know about this? Who is Sam, why does he look so much like that person?"
"You will know when the time comes. I just hope that you wouldn't do the same pathetic mistakes your father had done. Now, leave."
Sanjay could only leave the place in dejection.
He wanted to learn who Sam is because that face is all too familiar to him. Even though they are slightly different, they look mostly the same, with some normal makeup one could even pose as another.
Since the time he saw some secret records in his childhood by accident, he has always admired that face.
But there is no luck for him to learn about what happened.
At this moment, Sam is inside his residence taking a call.
It was from Arc. Sam has received an invite from the Thunder god temple.
Sam informed Philip and Jack. The trio started their journey.
According to Sam's previous plans, he would be taking some time off from all this and focusing on the business and research.
He wanted to enjoy the feeling of the home he created himself.
But luck is certainly not on his side. Watt's disappearance completely changed his flow.
The trio started their journey. He arranged another beast pouch for Vulture and too it with him.
They didn't travel on the beasts or harbinger. They went on trains.
Sam wanted to at least enjoy some fruits of his creation. He watched as he visited all the stops and looked at the parks running there.
It took three days for him to go from his city to the Imperial Capital.
Arc has already prepared the space-gate formation and Sam arrived.
Sam doesn't know when he will come back, so he made a deal with Arc. Arc would come and handover the earning every month and Sam would pay five percent from his personal net profits.
Even though Arc might do this small favor without any payment, it is not good for a transcendent stage cultivator to run errands without any profits.
When Sam arrived at the thunder god temple's space gate island, Arthur is standing there waiting to receive him.
After exchanging some pleasantries, he was escorted to a meeting room, where a middle-aged man with a thick beard and curly brown hair sat down waiting for him.
The Middle-aged man had a scar on the left side of his face, from forehead to the temple. The scar crossed across his eye. As if showcasing his battle glory.
"Greetings, Temple Head."
Sam greeted the person as soon as he entered the room.
"Greetings… Mr. Sam."
Sam was confused at the hesitation of the person and then the middle-aged man said with a smile.
"You might be of junior generation, Mr. Sam. But you are a person of many trades and talents and master of many crafts. One has to respect any type of knowledge and skill. So a person as skilled as you deserves some respect. It is just, that I was confused about which title should I address you with."
Sam didn't reply and just looked at the person's eyes, one could see through a person's soul through their eyes.
It is easy to create a fake feeling or sentence with the voice, but it is almost impossible to fake it through the eyes.
Sam has very little information regarding this temple-head. So, he has to be careful.
"May I ask, why do you want to give me such a precious ore, just to exchange a place in the thunder god temple? You could have easily been selected as a disciple and I believe Moriya still hasn't closed the offer."
Temple-head asked as he looked at Sam.
"Of course, it is not just for a position, I also want a favor," Sam said in a calm tone.
"Please do tell."
"I will give you the thunder meteorite sand and I will even give you a lead on where to find more, in exchange for that, I want you to create a diversion for me.
I want the attention of all the major powers to disappear.
All you have to do is ask one of your elites, who is highly revered and famous to act as if he was injured after trying to tame the shadow sword and make the world believe that the sword was destroyed in the process."
The temple-head raised his eyebrow and asked.
"Why go through so much trouble? You don't want thunder god temple to help you in this matter?"
"Nope. I just want some superficial support from the thunder-god temple. Just tell the world that you gave me the privilege because I exchanged the shadow sword with you and an island would be destroyed that's it."
The temple-head thought for a moment and asked.
"What is your aim? What do you want to be? Your talent, your strength? What are all these for?"
Sam sighed at his words and said after some thought.
"I don't have any particular goals except for one. I have to find a person in this world. Maybe, I will think of my goal after I met that person."
Temple's head thought for a second and said with a smile.
"We have a deal. You would be a core disciple of the thunder-god temple. You would receive all the benefits that a core disciple gets. In three months there is a chance for you to test waters with the Beast faction.
I cannot grant you any other special treatment, of course except for the artisan duties. I don't want you to directly create things to clear all the problems. You can open service and let the disciples and the elders ask you the solutions for the problems they encounter and notice.
After all, a sudden solution would make them lazy.
Apart from that, you are the same as any other disciple in the temple."
Sam placed a spatial ring on the table and stood up.
"This is the thunder meteorite sand. It is enough to make three decent weapons and can be stretched to four if the weapons are smaller. As for the lead…" He then gave some details about the Northern continent's underworld organization and left.
Now, all he has to do is, join the organization and create a scenario that the shadow sword is destroyed.
If not for the fact that Watt kidnapped, he would have just let it be. But now he realized he might have gone too far in pushing their training. He could have interfered earlier and this wouldn't have happened.
He also has a vague feeling that Watt was taken away because of something related to the original Sam of this world, which he had to bear since he occupied his body.
Sam asked for a barren island and started making preparations for the next step in his plan which is to make the world believe that the shadow Sword is destroyed.
While he is working here, someone in the beast faction is looking at his portrait and is gritting his teeth in extreme anger.
Before him, there is a person who is kneeling on both legs and another person standing with his head bowed down.
The Faction head looked at the kneeling person and said. "Since, when did you become a dog of that guy?" The kneeling person is none other than the person who received orders from the man in the darkroom to seal Sam's picture.
Seeing that the person is not replying, he kicked him in the stomach and stormed off of the room.
Soon, he entered the darkroom and yelled loudly.
"How dare you cover up for that Bastard son? Who gave you the right to?"
"The man sat on his chair peacefully, with his eyes closed."
The Faction-head calmed down and said in a low voice.
"Brother, why did you do this and how is even alive?" This time, his voice is so low as he doesn't want anyone else to listen to it.
"Why? Just because you wanted to kill him, he cannot live?"
"Why are you siding with him? Just for that Bastard's son?"
"Faction-Head. Stop fooling yourselves by calling him bastard time and again. You and I both know what he is and how he got that label."
"Hmph! I would like to see, how he will stay alive? Since he has stayed put, he should have done so for the rest of his life, now I will give him a dog's death."
He stormed off from his room.
The man in the chair smirked at his behavior.
That day, Sam's picture was all over the Beast faction's territory and there is news along with it.
It was said that there was a traitor of the faction who was the reason for the civil war which occurred around two decades ago. He escaped and it was found out Sam was his son. There is a possibility to find the traitors whereabouts when they catch Sam.
When the Grand realm experts are getting ready to take the mission, the faction had got some news from the Seer tower. That is, Sam is currently in the thunder-god temple.
