Chapter 1444 - Rebo
Chapter 1444 – Rebo
A week passed.
Sam received the letter regarding the situation of the teams and how their attacks are going on the organizations.
He is also keeping an eye on any new and suspicious people that are entering the city. He made sure that any inquiry regarding the kids, lightning, hill and Saran wouldn't go past him. But luckily, nothing happened within the week.
At this moment, he sat in the stray realm within his personal room.
He had his legs crossed and eyes closed as he meditated.
The energy fluctuations around him are chaotic, but when one looked closely even that chaos has a certain control and restrain to it.
As minutes passed, the energy concentration kept on increasing.
*BOOM*
With an energy wave that came out of his body and a loud explosive sound, Sam finally opened his eyes. He broke through. He is currently at the Peak stage of Astral Plane Transcendence.
He must say that it is really easy to break through from within this body. The energy absorption rate is high, the cultivation technique is much simpler, the energy requirements are very low compared to his old body.
He doesn't have to spare as many resources as he would have.
As for why he hurriedly broke through in this chaotic mess, one reason is that there is no wrong time to increase the strength and the second reason is that he got the news that Sivan has broken through to the peak stage.
It is necessary for Sam to keep p with Sivan's cultivation since he doesn't know when he would get a chance to take his body back. He needs to make sure that he grabs the chance and the exchange happens successfully only when two of them are on the same level of cultivation.
The only problem he currently has now is what method must have been used by Sivan to break through like this. If he is overdosing the body with medicines and all the other harmful shit that might impede the potential, then Sam would be needed to perform a cleansing of the whole body.
Which is not exactly a good task to think about.
He tested his body for his new strength for a few minutes before he walked out.
He looked at the daily reports of the informants within the city and noticed something weird.
The movements of Grand Elder Rebo and his subordinates are a bit odd. For the past three days straight, he has been visiting all kinds of places within the Gaja clan. At least every place that he has access to.
It is something that shouldn't be happening in normal conditions. The main reason he noticed is that some of the activity is focused on the areas of Grivon's and Jyon's residences.
Even though Sam doesn't have a particularly cordial relationship with Jyon, it doesn't mean, he could ignore anything that concerned her.
At least luckily, for now, she is not present.
Sam contacted Giyon who is still within her residence in the Clan estate.
"Finally. I almost thought that you forgot you are doing business with me too. What made you contact me now?"
"The Grand Elder Rebo that stayed here as a guest. I think he is up to something. Keep an eye on him."
"That old man? Even I can handle combat if I am a bit prepared. What is the point of keeping an eye on him?" Giyon asked with a frown.
"Here I thought you siblings might have learned something from your stay with me all this while. Do you really think cultivation level is all that matters? You might see a decently strong old man in him.
I see a decently strong man with a few decently strong subordinates having access to more than half of the estate within which there are many formation nodes that are hidden for outsiders to not get inside.
What do you think the possibilities if they really are smart enough with enough resources and they want to do something?"
"Alright, alright. I will check him out. Don't worry too much. My brother is out there enjoying and even my sister went away.
Just don't think too much and take a break as well. With all the work you have been putting, I believe that you deserve it more than most."
"Thanks for your consideration. I already had the informants keep an eye on the old man. But it would be better if you can work this out from the administrator's point of view. I am pretty sure that even they might have noticed this."
"You are probably overthinking. There is no way that old man Rebo has the balls to do anything against the Gaja Clan. Their clan is way too cowardly and we are the only ones that are backing them right now.
With our support, they ran rampant a few years. Now, they have no choice but to try and kiss the clan's leader's ass."
"I hope you are right."
Sam went back after warning her. But for the next few days, they saw that the old man Rebo has been behaving oddly.
He started paying visits to different parts of the estate and some even the places which don't have permission and access.
He is hovering over different locations and staying there for some time with some out of the place talk.
He talked about all kinds of things. Sometimes he pissed off some elders for no apparent reason. His demeanour also changed slowly as he became more cocky and bitchy about everyone in the clan.
After another week of this bullshit, one day.
Grand Elder Rebo's guest residence.
*CRACK* *PAK*
A glass broke and a slap was landed.
Rebo has slapped the attendant that served wine to him.
"What is with that look of disdain on your face? For a pathetic attendant like you, even serving wine to someone like me should have been an honour, but you are giving me that expression as if you are treating a dog to a meal?
Who gave you the guts?
Do you think you can behave as you like, just because you are a pathetic attendant of the Gaja Clan? Even your clan's leader wouldn't dare treat me like this."
The attendant frowned at his words. He is not really concerned about the slap on his face. Because he is not really the attendant.
He is the informant of Giyon who infiltrated into the attendant ranks just to get here and confirm what this guy is doing.
Indeed, he gave that look of disdain, because he absolutely disdains this guy. An old man acting all high and mighty, while using his guest status. He is the worst kind of person that he could ever interact with.
With being Giyon's direct subordinate, he has come into contact with many people. He has never seen anyone as fucking annoying as this guy.
And now his words are blatantly saying that he is so full of himself that he thinks the clan's leader of the Gaja clan would be considerate of him to not dare do anything.
He is clearly up to something.
As he was thinking another slap came at him. But this time he directly blocked it.
"Don't you dare lay your hand on me, old man? You better keep your mouth shut too. Things wouldn't go well for you otherwise."
He left the room as soon as he was done and he called Giyon directly.
"Madam, this guy is getting out of line… He went on to explain everything.
"Stay there and keep him under control. Don't let him go out of control anymore."
She then called Sam and said.
"Things are really as you suspected. I guess the clan must have also noticed this. I will give a heads-up to the clan's enforcement and investigation department."
"Please do."
Sam said as he looked at a report that just came into his hand.
There is a new group in the town last night.
The group looked extremely suspicious. Sam doesn't know if this is in any way related to this or not. But as soon as they came, they went to an inn and stayed there. In fact from the information he got, they directly slept.
They literally slept on the soft beds as if they don't have anything else to do in this world.
But soon he realized that something is indeed wrong with these guys.
When the information Giyon gave reached the Clan's leader, he sent the enforcement and investigative department heads directly to make the Old man Rebo and his subordinates. He decided to send them away.
However, to everyone's surprise, the whole fiasco didn't go well.
Instead, the old man threw a large tantrum.
"Who the fuck do you bastards think that I am? Do you think that your Gaja clan is all that because you are some kind of big and powerful clan? How dare you disrespect me? I will kill you bastards. I will destroy all of you and your clan.
I will kill all of you.
I will kill you for disrespecting me."
