Chapter 1468 - Sonic Cat

Sam went back to the basement lab and started using his assistants to set up the simulator in the yard of Giyon's house.

It took an hour to set up the whole thing and in the process, Sam made some huge calculations on a big scroll and started making small drawings in the middle.

After the simulator was set up, he started modelling the blueprint and the first step is of course the empty land area of the whole city and then the position of the walls, buildings and then the estate.

He started making quick simulations on what could be the most ideal formation for the attacks that would come for them.

He worked till afternoon before people from the clan's head came.

He met with them and took the list of resources the Gaja Clan could afford. The list is very exhaustive, just like he wanted. Even the smallest of the resources that might just be some of the secret groups of subordinates that operate tiny businesses for the clan were also mentioned in there.

After looking through it, Sam got a few ideas. 

He turned to the team sent by the clan's leader and gave them instructions.

"I want to see your best work. The best work you can do within twenty-four hours. Use whatever resources you have at your disposal and also the resources that are available with Giyon.

Don't hold back a single thing and don't think of its purpose. No matter how useless or useful you might think it is, I want you to do the best work you can possibly create in your whole life.

And do remember that the results of your work are going to decide how much involvement you will have in the growth of your clan.

So, if you do hold back for some reason, it better be worthy enough to not contribute to the growth of your clan."

He left with those words and walked went to meet Giyon and Grivon.

"I need to meet your parents. When are they coming back?"

"Tonight. Why?"

"I need some things that only they can get and I need them as fast as possible. Inform me as soon as they come back."

"Alright. How is the team?"

"I don't know yet."

"There are not many, you can just get to know them easily."

"It is not about the quantity. I need the quality. I asked them to make something, I will know how they are after they are done with it.

Anyway, keep them aside for now. I need to ask you guys something."

"Go ahead."

"Gail said that Sivan completely ignored his organizations. So, I want you guys to go to one of the organizations, or send your teams to cause some massive destruction. Gather everything you can there. Including the deadbodies, irrespective of their cultivation levels.

I will send the spectre along with you and he will catch the souls. You can bring the dead bodies with you and store them in a special liquid, I am going to concoct now."

Grivon frowned and asked.

"Why do you need dead bodies?"

"They are a resource Grivon. You guys don't have numbers. We need to find a way to level that up."

Sam answered and then continued before Grivon could ask another question.

"I also need poisons. Any poison that you can get. I don't care about the lethality, intensity or even the effects of the poison. As long as it is considered a poison in any possible way, I need it."

Giyon frowned, but she just nodded and agreed.

Grivon hesitated a bit. Dead bodies and Poison. The two things didn't really sit well with him. But he didn't think too much. After all, almost all of their clan was slaughtered. They don't really have much of a choice.

Sam went back to work. The team members that were sent by the clan, which Sam decided to call the Gaja team are really dissatisfied with Sam's behaviour towards them.

But they also remembered what their clan's leader instructed them.

"He has full power and authority over you. Even the kills you, after finding out you were doing something bad, I gave my word that I wouldn't interfere as long as he can show reasonable suspicion.

So, be careful around him. He is literally holding your lives in his hands."

These are the exact words of the Clan's leader.

This made them shut up and work.

They kept on working while Sam also kept himself busy.

That night, Sam went to meet Gail, Gamin and Yuvana.

"I need you guys to do something for me."

"What is it?"

"I need the deadbodies of your assassination targets. Along with their souls."

"Dead bodies of the Astral Plane Consummate cultivators? Sam, they are the deadbodies that are hardest to us in necromancy. Even the people of the same cultivation level might fail at using them. Why do you need them?"

"I can do something with them. They will help extremely in the defence we are about to set up.

Also, I need the poisons. Any poison that you can find. Weak, strong, lethal, nothing matters. I just need poisons."

"Dead bodies and Poisons are really not our things."

Yuvana said from the side.

Sam nodded and said.

"Yes, they are not. Your clan's thing was to fight head-on. It is noble. But where did that bring you? Every organization knows that no matter how many of them gang up the Gaja clan would stand up and fight. 

That would have destroyed their faith, even if they won.

So, they opted for something more practical.

You also need to do something similar. You need to be more practical. Will you get them are not?"

"Of course, we are going to get them. But it better be good. Because the dead bodies of that cultivation level will trigger some of the organizations if they went missing.

I just want it to be worth it."

Gamin said from the side.

Sam nodded and continued.

"I also need to ask you guys something else. Do you know any strong beasts?"

"How strong?"

"Your level and a little less."

"It is hard to capture beasts of our level. In fact, the big clans slowly stopped relying on the beasts. They are too much of a hassle and at our state, they are smarter than most of the humans and cultivators."

"But they are still beasts. I want you guys to make a list. You are going to tame those beasts and I would like to make some designs in the city based on the beasts you can acquire."

"We are not really experienced with taming of the beasts."

"I know, but I have enough knowledge to help you guys out to tame them."

Gail only had to think for a second before saying it out loud.

"I know where a Sonic cat lives. Can you tame it?"

Sam was stumped when he heard the word.

"Did you just say a Sonic cat?"

He is really surprised.

"Yes. A real Sonic Cat."

Sam's shock didn't dissipate. In fact, it intensified.

Sonic Cat is a rare beast. Its bloodline level is right up there with the Shadow Mice.

They are extremely powerful and they assassinate targets bigger, stronger and lethal than them in a matter of seconds.

On the same level, very few adversaries can go against them.

"I can help you actually. But it would be a long process. It will take around a month.

But before I go into exact details, I need to know something. How long since the Sonic cat is living in that place."

"Decades."

"Then there must be something in that place."

"It grew up there. It is its home. What else could there be?"

"No. That is now how that works. A sonic cat just doesn't choose a normal place for its home. Do you remember any details about the place? One unique thing that sticks out."

"I can't think of anything.

It is a beautiful place for sure. There is a waterfall, vegetation is fresh throughout the year. That is all I could think of."

"Alright, you can go and find out next time. Notice its surroundings. There would always be one thing that uniquely sticks out. The cat's behaviour might indicate what it is. I want you to tell me what it is."

"Why are you so eager and curious about it?"

"Sonic cats are very good at making their habitats around some valuable treasure that is very useful for them."

"Useful? As in their growth? Food?"

"It can be anything. Food that helps their growth, strengthens their muscles, minerals that help with their training."

"Training? Beasts train on their own?"

"More than you guys know. These cats, in particular, train since they turn a year old. Every single cat develops its own unique fighting style even though the basic aspect is common in all of them.

They are dangerous for a reason.

In fact, the training time of this cat might even be more than the training time of all three of you people."
