Chapter 1428 - Kidnappings

As they were talking Sam finally healed himself, but he didn't get up from that spot. The whole area is completely out of shape.

It didn't look like a beautiful refined city at all, it looked like a place that was hit with a bunch of meteors.

Soon Giyon joined them.

"How are you guys feeling?"

"I am okay."

"I am fine. I killed a few and escaped before anyone stronger than come after me." Grivon said with a grin.

*PAK*

Then landed a slap on the back of his head.

"Now that you are good, let us get to main point. How stupid of you to get caught like this? You were just imprisoned along with the rest of your subordinates in one single residence. I cannot believe how stupid you are."

Grivon held his head and let her scold him for a while.

After a few minutes of non-stop verbal bashing, Giyon finally stopped with a sigh.

"Is it really his father?"

Sam asked after a few minutes of completely silence.

"Yeah. That is indeed Sivan's father." Giyon said calmly.

"Then why is he acting as if he is tied up with some extra burden when he looked at his own son?"

Sam muttered to himself, but Grivon and Giyon clearly heard it. Grivon just shrugged as he didn't know the answer, nor could he relate to what Sivan is going through.

His parents wouldn't leave him alone, even if he wanted to. They love him that much.

"Well, it is mostly because of the kid's mother. He was forcefully married to her. He made an oath to the clan head that he would try his best to fulfil one of his wishes, when they are completely equal in terms of status, strength and authority.

Sivan's father turned out like my father, increase in strength so much that the clan leader's position appeared small to him and his name has been spread in higher circles and even in the Grey circle.

The clan leader obviously arrived his position and to consolidate it, he forced Sivan's father into a marriage with someone from a powerful clan.

He married her because of the oath. He also liked her. He took care of her responsibly. As you can see the grey circle people wouldn't stay in the same place for a long time, but he did. He stayed at home as much as possible.

But the problem rose when the woman got greedy and burned in jealousy.

When Sivan was a kid, he was mostly taught by his father and behaved accordingly, but there was a time, when her mother got extremely jealous of the calligraphy and some other stuff another kid is doing and forced Sivan to do the same.

But he wasn't able to. Meanwhile, his mother felt like someone else is more beautiful than her, so he found a concoction that destroyed her skin and used it on her.

Sivan learned this quality and tried to use the same strategy on the other kids that are good calligraphy and physical activities to destroy them.

But he was caught and thus lost his arm and leg.

The story for the outside world is completely different though. His mother tried her best to convince the rest of the world, that her son only ended up like that, because of his talent as the others got jealous and used it against them.

In fact, she went as far as using some dangerous ritual to implant a curse on Sivan's soul to not to remember anything regarding this situation. So, he doesn't know and he doesn't believe this is the original story. In fact, he cannot even remember it when he hears it out loud."

Sam nodded in understanding. 

He can understand what happened next. Sivan's father, who was always responsible and caring, definitely couldn't have stood there and let them have their way. He might even be the person that let Sivan's limbs not heal back to make sure that he suffers consequences.

Sam stood up and said.

"I will be leaving this place immediately. Take over the organization without delay. Some other organizations might have heard the commotion and most of they would have also heard about the status of the players in the game here..

So, they wouldn't compete with you.

You guys come back as soon as you can. I want to speed things up even more."

Sam left after leaving those words.

Grivon and Giyon went into work and within the next three days, they finished the take over.

With Sivan involved a bunch of them within the crystal formation, the local organization lost a lot of people within the nodes and a lot more in the battle later.

There is no way they are in the league of this fight, so they died.

The organization is in shambles. In fact for Grivon and Giyon to take it over, they didn't even need much effort. All they needed was to go there and meet with the head of the organization and he caved.

He wanted to suck up and keep his position which didn't work.

Grivon and Giyon decisively stripped everyone of their titles and authority before forcing them to move back to the Gaja clan to serve as their foot soldiers, while they let their own subordinates to take this place over.

Since it is a forceful takeover, things happened smoothly. But they know that trouble would be coming from their clan side.

They might want to barge in to the business or something along the lines since the resources of this organization are a significant attraction.

But by the time they returned home, they were met with something else other than the problem that they expected.

As soon as the news came out that came back to the clan, even before they could enter their own residences, people bombarded them on the way.

"Your friend Sam is forcefully holding one of my subordinates. Tell him to let go."

"That asshole Sam is crossing his limits, make sure he lets go of my brother. Otherwise…"

Everybody is of a generation older than Giyon and Grivon and they are all threatening them like little kids. They don't even know what is happening and these old men are not letting them move away.

They had to use their subordinates help to forcefully get away and they reached Giyon's residence in an extreme hurry.

Gail is sipping some kind of tea in glee as he sat in the front yard.

"Oh, you guys are back. From the looks on your face, you seemed to have faced those pests already."

"Where is Sam?"

Giyon asked with frustration.

"In the basement."

She ran immediately and barged in.

"What the hell did you do this time? All the elders are riling up."

"Well, first of all, welcome back and second of all. I didn't do anything."

Giyon frowned. By now Grivon also arrived and even he was confused when Sam said he didn't do anything.

"If you didn't do anything, why is this happening?"

"It is a ploy from one of my hidden enemies. I don't know if this is related to Mingiv or not, but there is a possibility that this is linked to that person on whom we lost the trial on. The one that used Fig and his group."

"What exactly happened?"

"It is simple. By the time I returned from that realm, I obtained some evidence regarding some people trying to steal from your businesses. So, I used your subordinates to perform arrests and I only arrested like ten people.

But all of a sudden the very next day, all of these people came barging towards me demanding I release their kids and subordinates. When I looked into the situation, I realized that before these people disappeared, their activities are similar to the ones that I arrested before.

So, these people assumed that the subordinates and the kids that disappeared are also arrested by me and I am not just admitting to it.

That is the situation."

"Holy shit. You are gone for one day and they planned all of this?"

"Yes, they did. But I think this is also an opportunity."

Sam said as he put down the formation plate in his hands.

"What opportunity?"

"The opportunity to deal with our hidden enemy."

Sam spoke as he took out a large scroll and attached it to a board.

"This is the list of the people who disappeared and the blame fell on me and the list of all the activities they did before they disappeared.

Most of them are young masters and some important subordinates holding serious positions. You tell me, would they be stooping so low and steal the business secrets themselves?"

"Of course not. No matter how greedy they become, they will send someone suitable for the dirty work."

"That is what I thought. But they really did perform most of these activities before they went missing altogether. They really did follow a pattern that might lead them to steal some of the business secrets.

So, why did people of status do that all of a sudden, that too within such a short frame of time?"
