Chapter 1684: Wait

Chapter 1684: Wait

"I didn't lie to you. That was the easiest time. But it just happened that Brig is tougher than I anticipated. I underestimated him, which by the way is the result of your wrongful information."

"Do you really think, you can weasel yourself out of this situation? You are going to take responsibility for this. Or, you will die."

"Yeah, like that is going to happen. Why don't you ask your god, if they are going to agree with this?"

Before he could even reply, as soon as Dayus spoke those words, the god's statue within the clan hall glowed. The god is not really a popular one, but Dayus knew who he is. Because when he had a meeting with Zeus before he went to hell, he met this god.

He knew he is going to be in this clan for this task. It is rigged since the start. But to think that he will lose even then. He really felt embarrassed.

The god looked at the clan leader and said.

"You need to let him go. I don't care what happens with the technique, but the young man should be unscathed by the end of these seven days. That is your task. I will reward you accordingly for that.

Try to get that technique and you will get extra rewards. But if there comes a time when this young man is in danger that threatens his life. Do you understand that?"

"Why are you making us do this? We worshipped you with all our hearts. We never did anything wrong. We abided by all your rules. Then you introduced this guy to us and threw us off like this.

We lost so much because of this and now you are saying that we should be protecting the person who brought us to this situation. Is this how you treat your worshippers?"

"There is no room for discussion. This is the final decision. Do as you are told."

Dayus smiled. The clan leader of course didn't. He is angry and frustrated.

He felt a bit sad when he noticed that Zeus is not the one controlling this organization. The remaining six clans are actually being looked after by some powerful gods, that are either in the game or by the gods that are of similar level.

But this one organization is managed by some underling of Zeus. He was obviously disappointed, but he is now relieved for that. Because he can do whatever he wanted. The underling of Zeus is not going to take any action against Dayus, and the underlings of those underlings don't have balls to deal with him.

This is the perfect place where he could swing his authority around.

The only downside is that the force of this clan is really not enough to get the technique. Not while competiting with the rest of the clans.

So, all he can do is make the best out of this bad situation.

And the best solution he can think of is, even if he cannot get his hands on the technique, he could get his hands on Sam. Even if he cannot kill him, he has to deal him a critical blow. A blow hard enough to make him go crippled. Physically or emotionally.

So, he started hatching a plan. All he has to do is wait for the right time. The final day.

The final day when everyone gets desperate and make a move on Sam and Brig. That is the perfect time for him.

Meanwhile, back at the Sura clan.

Sun rise, fourth day.

Sam is once again looking at the results of his work. He was really impressed by how perfectly the Sura clan is operating. They are perfectly dealing with the whole situation as they followed his instructions.

Once he got Brig's approval, the rest of the clan didn't dare show their disapproval in anyway or form. They obeyed everything without any questions no matter how ridiculous the request is.

He really felt satisified. These people are definitely not as good as his own subordinates, but they are much better any other organizations he interacted with before.

And the results are perfect indication of this.

The dispute between those two ladies is escalated. The ladies are completely out of the picture and it became a clan-level fight.

They didn't even care much about the technique anymore. They almost withdrew from the race. If not for the fact they spared some troops to try and plan for the technique along with the players, Sam would have completely relaxed by now.

But still the players are feeling a bit conflicted. They even felt that at this rate, they might as well have tried it by themselves. In that way, at least they would have had the satisfaction of giving it their all before losing.

And if luck works out, they might even get it.

Of course, they knew thinking about that is of no use at this point. So, all they can do is try to figure something out in the remaining few days.

Then there is Clan1 and Clan2. They don't even have much conflict going on. But they lost a lot of people behind the scenes.

They don't even know how to react for this. They wanted to retaliate against the Sura clan. But they cannot. Everytime they tried, their people are being assassinated.

Finally, Clan5 was the only one left and now is the time for Sam to implement the next step of the plan.

The fourth day went on without much change in the situation and that night people moved away from the Sura clan. They spread all over the region.

The next morning, Clan 5 started sensing some trouble. Overnight there are tracks left behind that showed Clan5's involvement in the conflict that started the war between Clan3 and Clan4.

Then there is evidence connecting them to the assassinations of the Clan1 and Clan2.

Of course, many people thought that they are being framed. But they couldn't help but have some suspicions.

Even though players knew that this might be Sam's idea and it is right up his alley, they didn't bother to listen to them. They knew that the technique is important, but the defense of Sura clan is not easy to deal with.

And the pride is not there just for the show. The pride of these people just because they are born into some clan. It wouldn't really let them just let this go.

They thought that Clan5 did this to try and get to Clan 1. With the added hopes they had because of the war with Clan6, they might even be eager to try their luck.

That is what they thought and players know that this is a bunch of bullshit.

But there is no way they could convince them. The most they could do is only to wait for the last day.

So, the time slowly breezed by.

While the situation is like this with the players and their tasks, there is one more significant thing that piqued Sam's interest.

Kach and Yana.

While Sam is dealing with the clans with the oldest tricks in the book, these two had created quite a repo.

Yana seemed to have taken quite a liking to him. They went out to roam across the city and the surroundings, they went for dinners and yana spent most of her time with him.

"So, what exactly is happening with them? Did your daughter, finally came back to her senses and found a proper guy?"

"Maybe, maybe not. What do you this about the guy?

"He is younger than me, but he is stronger than me."

"I am not talking about it like that. What do you really think about him?"

"He is an adamant guy, he controls himself pretty well. He has that much strength, but he knew his limits. He is a really great guy. If you really want to marry your daughter and him, you can do it hundred percent. "
