Chapter 1417 - Weird Trial

Sam sat in the lobby of the enforcement department as he looked at all the officers trying to intimidate him with their gazes.

But he looked at them with a mocking smile as if they are all idiots.

The leader of the enforcement team had a cold look on his face as he asked Sam.

"Why did you let those weird creatures loose in the city? What are those creatures?"

Sam looked at him with the same smile and asked.

"Really? You are going to lead with that?"

"Just answer the question."

"I am not answering any of your stupid questions. You know better than anyone else where these creatures are coming from. You are there because you knew that I would be there to deal with these things with the subordinates since it is Grivon's property."

"You are accusing an enforcement team captain of the Gaja Clan. Do you know what kind of crime that is? Particularly, when you are mooching off of my clan?" The Vice-captain fired up once again.

"You are accusing a guy who broke the balls and stiffened up the spine of a grandson of the grand elder that would make you piss your pants with just his gaze. Tell me, who is in more trouble?"

The whole room was stumped by his words.

Sam stood up and stretched before speaking.

"I am telling you, I don't care who ordered you to do this. But I will pay you back for this."

At this moment, they got ready to go to the trial.

After ten minutes, they are in the main hall of the clan.

The clan head looked at the whole fiasco with a frown. He for one could guess that this thing has nothing to do with him and when he realized that the captain of the enforcement team that arrested Sam didn't even belong to the area that they actually went to, he knew that this is a setup.

But to his dismay, he cannot just strike this. He looked at the elders who are supporting this adamantly.

He thought he would have the power to change the clan and the way they operate, but half of the time he just had to waste it to save his own ass.

He looked at Sam and spoke.

"You are the guest invited by one of the youngsters of the clan. So, you are an important person to us and we do like to treat you with the respect you deserve. If your case is true and you were really accused of something that you didn't do, we will definitely see to that the person who accused you will be dealt with appropriate consequences."

Sam nodded without replying.

The clan head looked at the enforcement team captain and asked.

"Why did you arrest him?"

"We have reason to suspect that he is the one that set off the attack with those weird creatures."

"How did you come to the conclusion?"

"These creatures are something we haven't seen before and from what I learned, the city guard wasn't able to deal with them, as they seemed to have some resistance against elemental attacks. 

Even the physical attacks were minimally effective.

But for some reason, this person managed to come with a team and dealt with these creatures pretty quickly.

Not only does he have information on their weak spots, he also had the poisons that could help him deal with these things.

He was way too prepared.

Along with that, we learned that he is very well-versed in various fields and these creatures were not here before he came. We thought he might be the most possible suspect and even if he is not, someone from the outside might have let them loose to fish him out.

After all, he has a lot of enemies. Either way, I think it is the best course of action to interrogate him and make him spill the beans regarding the incident."

"What is your opinion on this one, Mr. Sam?"

"Stupid."

Sam spat out casually and everyone was stumped. They thought he would at least defeat himself. But he just mouthed off one derogatory term. That is it

"Is that all you have to say about this?"

"There is something more.

I feel genuinely offended since they related these creatures to me and my research which I absolutely cannot stand.

My work would never be this mediocre. These creatures are an absolute waste of time in my opinion. So, don't ever compare my inventions with it."

Everyone is stumped once again.

"So, your main concern is comparing you to these creatures? Is that what you are saying?"

"Yes, as for the other concerns. You should know better than listening to his bullcrap. If I want to attack this city, that wouldn't have been my style. Release creatures, that have no brain? That is not something that I would do."

"How do you know that they have no brain?"

"Because I studied them."

"Why and how?"

"When Giyon and Grivon were cleaning up the mess at the inn that was created when I busted the balls of a horny dog, they found some dead bodies of the creatures.

I conducted an analysis and managed to find the poison that affects their body and the most vulnerable points of this body.

The creature was created by someone in a lab. It is the work of someone who wanted to play god and create something incredible but ended up inventing shit.

That is also the reason why I don't want to be associated with that thing. It is insulting."

"Why didn't Grivon and Giyon report to the clan?"

"I don't know. You can ask them yourselves after they came back."

"So, you don't have any evidence to substantiate your claim?"

"Not really, no. But I think I have evidence to show you that it is a plan made by the enforcement team captain."

"How would you do that?"

"By proving that I don't need an army of incomplete abominations if I really want to attack the city. You will realize why I wouldn't stoop this level."

"Really? How would you do that?"

"Just give me a second and the permission to contact someone."

"Please go ahead."

As soon as he spoke. Sam took out his communication token and made a call. The person on the other side picked up and didn't speak

"Light out the red firework."

Sam didn't say anything else and just finished the call.

As soon as he did that. One of the attendants came out and the red firework was exploded in the sky on the top of Giyon's house.

The flash is so big and so eye-catching that the people in the main hall can see it through the windows.

The Clan leader had a bad feeling as he looked at Sam.

And his bad feeling was the right feeling to have at the time because at that exact moment, a series of explosions are occurring right outside the city and in the woods.

The news quickly traveled within a few minutes and came to the main hall.

As soon as it was heard, the whole room turned silent.

Sam looked at them and said.

"You know what I am capable of now. So, you should also know that if killing civilians is my agenda and creating chaos is my goal, I can do it more efficiently within a minute.

So, my argument for this situation is that the way this was executed is completely beneath me."

The whole hall was dumbfounded. They never knew that Sam's argument would be like this, but when they thought of what might have happened outside, they couldn't help but agree.

If he can cause such destruction in a few minutes and all it takes to trigger is a red firecracker, there is no need for him to let these creatures lose into the city to make them.

"That doesn't negate the second possibility, someone might have done this to lure you out."

"As much as I agree with your statement, I cannot take the blame for that. I have been roaming around openly without any efforts to hide. So, why would they want to lure me out, unless it is not to frame me in a situation like this?"

The clan's head looked at Sam and sighed. Sam already caused some damage to the city just because he was accused of damaging the city. He doesn't want to know what would happen if they pursue this any longer.

"This whole thing is a farce. You can leave. I apologize on behalf of the enforcement team."

Sam nodded and turned around to leave.

The clan head stopped any other person that wanted to talk against it and then turned to the enforcement team.

"I would like a word in private."

The team captain stiffened up but nodded.

They went to a room on the side and the clan's head spoke.

"Your duty is for the clan.. Not for the grand elder you want to suck up to."
