Chapter 1344: Invite
Chapter 1344: Invite
Sam and Grivon are sitting in the small simulation room, he created.
The project is in the final stages, and of course, even though some of the critical functions are not ready, there are some functions that it could provide and one of them is creating holographic projections from Sam's mind.
Sam is currently wearing something that resembled a metallic headband which is glowing and a three-dimensional projection is happening within the room.
This is the incident from the memory of the league member they just killed. The memory is of the informant giving this league member the required information regarding Migron's situation.
But for some reason, the memory is a bit vague. It didn't give specific information on how Sam was directly responsible for Migron's situation and operated through Grivon. But rather the tip is so vague on how Grivon might have the information regarding the new anomaly that appeared and started changing the dynamic among the younger generation of the Gaja Clan.
After all, the whole mess that Sam created by making different people go into different businesses is to precisely divert the attention of Sivan and ȧssume that Sivan is giving the information to the league, they would also be confused by this.
But this guy who attempted to clear this confusion didn't do it completely which made the guy go after Migron, just to be sure.
He learned about Grivon's high status and didn't want to antagonize someone he couldn't afford to offend directly, so he left that to Migron's parents, and just like he predicted, he managed to get a way in, which essentially became a trap.
After the memory was completely played out, Sam then changed the image to the three-dimensional image of the man who gave the information.
"I don't know this guy. I don't think he is of any importance within the city. If he is, I would have known him."
Grivon answered, even before Sam asked him.
"Are you sure? Maybe he is a low-level guard from some of your peers? Vydon might be responsible for this or even other young masters you are partnering with within the academy project."
"There is a possibility, but I am sure that I know the regular guards of theirs too. The only people that I don't have knowledge of but still related to them would be some secret subordinates or some insignificant guards that act as errand boys."
"Maybe, this is an errand or a secret operation," Sam muttered as he looked at the image and paused before continuing.
"But I would lean towards the latter, after all, it is highly unlikely for them to treat this as a simple errand."
"I think so too."
As they discussed, Sam once again played the memory and looked at the insignificant details and suddenly said.
"By any chance do you recognize the bar?"
"Not really."
Sam then changed the image to that of the bar and recorded it into the recording crystal attached to a wall.
"Let your subordinates find out which bar it is. After that, you go to the bartender personally and see if they know our mysterious informant."
"Why? Do you think that he is a regular there?"
"I don't know. My guess is a bit farfetched, but he looked extremely comfortable in that place. This is a long shot. I am just shooting blindly. But even if there is no real connection between them, I think that bar is the only lead we have.
Send his picture to all of your subordinates spread across and that includes the spies. We can only spread our net as wide as we can and hope that we could catch something.
"I will see what we can do."
Grivon left with the image and Sam went back to research.
The next day, Grivon met with Giyon, who surprisingly didn't leave the clan after the title was given to her.
"Why are still staying? I thought you were busy?"
"I am. But I decided I would stay in the realm until you solve your current situation."
"I think it is basically solved. We dealt with that guy with a red cloak and black mask."
Giyon was impressed and said.
"You guys are really good. What did you do?"
"We bombarded him with twenty full-scale Middle stage Consummate attacks of Astral Plane at the same time in premade trap."
"That is clever. But twenty attacks? How did you manage to do that?"
"Sam has something for that. So, since it is solved, are you off now?"
"We will see. How did that guy get the information? I asked him, but he didn't say anything and left."
Grivon didn't answer immediately and thought for a moment, before showing the image of the bar.
"Someone tipped him with the info in this bar. That is all we know of. But we don't know the identity of the person that tipped him."
Giyon smiled when she looked at the bar's image.
"I know this bar."
Grivon was surprised and asked eagerly.
"Really? How do you know that? Where is it?"
"I know it because it is my bar. It is in the same realm but on a different planet. The third planet with a lot of metal mines. It is the capital of that planet."
Grivon immediately turned silent and looked at Giyon skeptically.
"Don't worry. I am not the one who tipped you guys off. If I really wanted to do something, do you really think I would leave such an obvious clue behind? I will inform the bartender and the rest, you can go there and find them yourself."
Grivon nodded, but he is still a bit suspicious.
*flick*
Giyon flicked his forehead and said.
"I already told you, don't think too much. If I wanted to do something to you, I would have swallowed you whole a long time. I just know way too much about you. Apart from keeping those secret subordinates and hiding the stray realm, you really didn't do much of a good job at hiding your activities.
It is good that you met Sam when you met him. If you didn't meet him, I would have had to take care of you myself and teach you how to do things."
Grivon rubbed his forehead in pain and said.
"Alright, alright. I believe you. But you should understand, why it is hard for me. You are just way too dangerous."
"Yeah, for others. You are my little Grivon after all. It would almost impossible for me to harm you. Anyway, do you want to have dinner tonight?"
"Dinner? Why?"
"Jyon is coming today."
Grivon's eyes brightened a bit.
"Really? Jyon is coming? Was she finally sick of her Maternal Grandfather?"
"It is hard for that. She really enjoys playing the flute after all and Grandpa is the only one who can truly appreciate that music. She might leave after a while."
"Is she not afraid, that she would be left with nothing if she is absent for so long?"
"She is not interested in authority."
"I don't think this is about authority, it is about survival. If she doesn't have a proper footing in the clan, she would be simply used as a pawn in some political marriage. She should at least prepare for it."
"Why do both of us exist if she has to do it herself? We are already neck-deep in this shit, at least let her be free. With her innocent mind, she is not really suited for these things anyway."
Grivon just shrugged.
"I will come."
"Bring Sam too."
Grivon frowned and asked.
"Why?"
"Just for fun. He might become a friend for a lifetime and he would make a great company in dinner."
"I will ask. But I can't promise that he would come. Anyway, I will send my people this afternoon. Send someone from your guard team to the bar. I need to find the information as quickly as possible. I need to weed out this rat otherwise, things would be troublesome if someone more powerful comes from the league."
"Don't worry. The league of Blood Iron is powerful, but it is not that powerful. Even though there are some troublesome characters that might really cause some trouble even in our clan, they wouldn't interfere just now. They would come at the end of the two-year time span.
As long as you are careful enough, you would be safe."
"Okay. See you tonight."
With that Grivon used his token right there to disappear and go back to the stray realm. He gave the information about the bar to one of his secret subordinates and made them go investigate at the bar.
He then went to Sam.
"You have a dinner invitation."
Sam was confused.
"What dinner?"
"Giyon invited you and me to dinner tonight."
"For what? She wants to make another deal?"
"I think this is more of a friendly dinner. Sister Jyon is returning today, so it was just a friendly dinner and since we are not really friendly with the rest of the cousins, she decided to invite you."
"So, I am a fill-in?"
"I don't know man. She said you would be a good company. I don't know. Just come with me.. Alright."
