Chapter 1418 – Letter
"Sir, My suspicions are legitimate."
The Enforcement team captain still persisted.
Clan's head shook his head and sighed.
"Okay then, your suspicions might be legitimate, but let us assume if they are not, there are some possibilities that I cannot just simply shake off."
"What would that be sir?"
"If your suspicions are not legitimate and Sam is indeed not framed, then I have to think of the creatures that arrived out of nowhere.
They came under from Grivon's building, but Grivon was not even here for the past few days, then I would look for other suspicions and the only suspicious activity I could find is you going there, because it is completely out of your bounds.
Should I order your arrest, because of my speculation?"
The captain was stunned. He didn't know how to answer.
"Do you see how ridiculous that sounds? Just because you have speculation you arrested that guy and put him through all of this.
I will investigate the creature's incident, but when it comes to the whole farce that was attached to it, I am not going to be involved. Tell that to the people that made you do this. They managed to use the elders to pressure me into entertaining this farce.
If that maniac takes his anger out on you and your team because he cannot directly go and knock on the doors of people who ordered it, then also I would just act like I acted today. Just like how I am letting you go now even though I knew you did this with your own personal interests in mind, I will let Sam go as long as I cannot prove it with solid evidence.
That too if he gets arrested first. And from the reports we have heard about the explosions in the city, I believe you will get the gist of what will await you if you go there and take a look."
The clan leader left without turning back.
He is pissed at Sam from the start because that guy called him names and accused him of being a man who clings to his power and does anything to do it.
The very reason he is pissed at Sam is that he knew it is right.
That is the only reason he stayed put without doing anything against Sam and just let him be.
He knew that the other factions wouldn't stay put though, but even then, he didn't expect something like this.
He went back to his own office and ordered one of his trusted aides to investigate the whole truth.
Meanwhile, after the enforcement team captain, went outside, he was summoned by some of the people who ordered this whole thing.
In that room, Mingiv and his father are present. He didn't expect that these two would be the only ones there.
"Why did the plan fail?"
Mingiv's father asked.
"I don't know sir. But Sam didn't think of escaping the place or resisting the arrest. So, I was caught off-guard and arrested him on his own accord.
We failed to take the presence of the subordinates into account as they disappeared and they are the ones that informed Sir Gamin and his wife who then filed the petition to the clan leader for the trial.
You know what went down later."
"That is what I am asking. Why did Sam not run away and just got arrested willingly? And that damn clan leader. How can he take the argument of being able to cause more destruction as a valid one when the trial is about him being wrongfully arrested?
He should see why Sam would be wrongfully arrested and since there is ground for suspicion and the arrest is legitimate, he should have just put him in the cell.
What the fuck is wrong with him?"
Mingiv's father sidetracked and started cursing out loud.
"I don't know why Sam let himself get arrested. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he knew very well what might happen if he resists or if he escapes. We even tried to provoke him. My vice-captain did all he can to make Sam angry, but he was calm and didn't lose his cool."
Mingiv looked thoughtful and gestured for the captain to leave.
"Why did you let him go? We need to know exactly why the plan didn't work." His father is unwilling to give up.
"I know exactly why the plan didn't work. It is because Sam is smarter than we know. He might have guessed the possibilities based on the situation.
Our original plan is to either for Sam to escape so that we can pin the whole thing on him and smear his name, or it is for him to resist and we take him into complete control with the enforcement team and beat the crap out of him before smearing his name and killing him.
He might have seen through them."
We just underestimated him. That is the only thing that has happened. But the clan leader's bias is a bit shocking for me. Why did he let Sam go that easily?"
At this moment, the elders who supported Mingiv and his father are trying to find exactly the same, and Clan's leader looked at them coldly before throwing a stack of documents at their faces.
"The testimonies of the city guards and the civilians. Not only were they in support of Sam, they are also against the enforcement team and all the atrocious activities they are conducting with their authority.
What do you think would have happened, if I dragged the trial longer? I would have had to show this evidence in court. Do you think that is an outcome we can afford?"
The captain of the enforcement team went out into the city after the meeting with Mingiv and his father.
When he walked through the streets, all he could hear are people's discussions about explosions, he remembered what Sam did and went to the city walls and saw one of the explosion sites that made him stunned.
A part of the city wall is damaged and there is a large crater at one spot.
The crater is still burning up with heat and smoke coming out.
Even from the top of the city wall, he can feel it. He gulped down when he saw the sheer size of the crater and imagined the explosion.
He is sure that he wouldn't survive this. He thought of the creatures and then thought of the explosions, he knew that he got involved in something he shouldn't have.
That day, everyone is talking about the Clan's leader's judgment on leaving Sam because he created explosions, the possibility of Sam being framed, and the appearance of weird creatures.
But that was only until they saw something that was left in place of the incident.
The Vice-captains body that was completely mangled was tied to a tree stump in the place of the incident.
The city guards saw this and even they were stunned.
The team captain of the enforcement team went there to take a look.
He remembered how Vice-captain had provoked Sam relentlessly, but now he is dead as a rock. Sam's payback came back the very next day.
Three days passed and the enforcement team was being hunted down one by one.
Every morning they saw a different corpse appear at the same spot over and over again.
The captain tried his best to ask Mingiv and his father for help, but they were unable to do anything because they are busy with the next plan to deal with Sam, and this time they decided to plan something big.
They don't want to get involved with the enforcement team that is under everyone's gaze and mess up their plans.
The captain went to different authorities and elders, but no one helped him until he tried to meet the clan's leader.
"I already told you, captain. If your loyalties were to the clan, I would have helped you. But you wanted to hurt a person who doesn't know his limits to preserve someone else's interests and in turn your own.
This is something that is completely out of my hands now."
The captain doesn't know what to do. He wanted to beg, but from the looks of it, the clan's leader is completely unwilling to help him.
After all, this is to his benefit. This will warn the rest of the departments that have people supporting various factions to be wary.
They will come to know that when the consequences of their actions come back, the clan wouldn't support them which means the clan's leader wouldn't be on their side since they were not on the clan's side.
On the fourth day, Sam received a letter from Grivon and Giyon and his mood completely took a turn.
He hurriedly stood up and ran out to give orders to the subordinates.
Gail frowned and asked.
"What happened? You didn't make a fuss like this even when you are killing the enforcement team members."
"I need to go meet Giyon and Grivon.. Something is happening there."
