Sam looked at the two brothers as he remembered something from his past life. He is in the same position as the one who is injured and the one who carried him isn’t his brother but someone who was close to his heart but he didn’t realise it until the other person was dead.
That fateful day was one of the things that he would never forget.
Now looking at these two siblings, he could relate to the situations but he was still hesitating. To help them or not.
After some thoughts Sam decided to wait, he wanted to wait and see if they are worthy of his help.
His teammates looked at his expression and didn’t disturb him. And among them there are two curious people who are waiting to see what Sam would decide, they are Jack and Philip.
These two are the ones who spent most time with Sam and one could even say that these two people understood Sam the best in this life. But their understanding is still limited as they didn’t see the depth of his character completely.
But Sam didn’t know their thoughts and just looked at the two siblings.
By this time, the fights already intensified and some are even completed. There are some candidates lying dead and there are some inmates’ corpses.
Many people already noticed the fleeing sibling pair and some inmates started chasing them. After all, who would reject an easy target.
The person who is carrying his brother also noticed that the inmates are chasing him and grit his teeth as he started moving faster. The lack of the energy didn’t help and the agony his brother is going through dues to the wound is making him even more anxious.
There are three inmates chasing after him. The siblings are less than twenty meters away from the door but the inmates caught up.
If he leaves his brother and runs by himself, that guy will be able to make it safe. But he didn’t do, even when tripped due to anxiousness, he still grits his teeth and dragged his brother slowly. He clearly knew that it was hopeless situation but he didn’t want to give up.
Just when an inmate raised his arm and about to make a move,
*Swoosh* a white shadow flew over and pierced through the neck of the inmates who was about to attack. Blood splashed over as he fell down.
The siblings and the inmates looked at the direction where the bone knife came from and when they saw Sam standing there with an expressionless face, they didn’t know what to think of it.
The siblings are grateful for his help but the inmates are clearly displeased. Previously, all the inmates clearly gave up on the thought of messing with Sam and his team members as they were clearly afraid of the corrosive liquid.
The painful screams of the victims of that liquid are clearly not so easily forgotten.
But they didn’t expect that Sam will come here looking for them even though they tried to avoid him.
The remaining two inmates looked at him and didn’t know his intentions.
They wanted to test the waters by attacking him but the problem is that they are warriors and didn’t have any long-range weapons and most important thing is that they are clearly afraid to get close to him, more precisely it will good to say that they are afraid of the corrosive liquid.
Sam didn’t say anything and slowly stepped forward as he took two bone knives which were hidden under the back of his shirt.
The inmates didn’t dare to do anything. They exchanged a glance and nodded at each other. Judging from their actions, they seemed to be quite familiar with each other.
Both of them went to the corpse of the inmate who died by Sam’s first knife and it looked it they were trying to lift him up to leave.
But Just as they saw Sam nearing them, one of then took the knife from the dead body’s neck and leapt towards Sam.
Just as he was about to feel smug about it, Sam also moved but he didn’t try to defend. His moves seemed to prepared as if he already knew that the inmate is going to do something.
Sam jumped to the side as the bone knife just scarred his arm a little but at the same time, his other hand moved as he threw the knife at the other inmate and this time, it went through his eye.
Before the last remaining inmate could react, Sam moved and cut the opponent’s throat and moved towards the sibling pair.
Before the siblings could react, Sam placed his palm on the injured one and started healing. Soon, the guy felt his pain reducing and except for the fatigue and exhaustion due to his blood loss, he felt fine.
"Thank you." Both the siblings stood up and bowed to him.
"Just stay here, until the battle ends." Sam said as he also sat there along with them.
The siblings just sat there.
Only a few people saw this scene and they didn’t keep on watching them and went back to the battle.
After some time, the battles finally ended. The surprising thing is that not a single inmate escaped. Everyone was dead.
The inmates who came to get a new life all lost their lives. All they did was reduce the number of candidates.
A total of 18 candidates died and more than ten people were injured.
If they don’t get healed properly even with the help of the spiritual energy, they won’t be able to get past two days with the injuries.
This time, the candidates were called one by one to get their portions of food and Sam got three of them and if he includes the one portion his team got for him by his team, he would be having four portions.
And having multiple portions became a problem.
Because, even though all the inmates are dead, not all of them were killed by the people who are still alive. In fact, out of eighteen people who died, ten of them are dead after they killed an inmate. After they exhausted their energy they were sneaked up on by the inmates as they became easy targets.
So, there are twelve candidates who didn’t get any food because they didn’t kill anyone. And Sam is the only one who got extra portions as he killed multiple inmates.
So, now he is a juicy prey for more than twelve people.
When he came to the camp there are more than twenty people who are stood in front of him. Twelve of them are obviously for the food and the remaining are the ones who are injured or someone related to an injured person.
They wanted to get him to heal.
But Sam completely ignored them. He already ate one portion at the wall itself and there are still three portions left.
The food portions wouldn’t help him cultivate as the energy isn’t dense enough to expand the spiritual core.
Sam is looking at the people and said.
"I am not going to heal anyone and the food I earned belongs to myself. So, leave the place while I am being nice."
"How can you be so selfish?" The one who said isn’t from the group, but a person who is standing a distance away and that person is the third son of the marquis.
Sam didn’t expect that he would interfere in this as they didn’t have any prior interaction, but when he saw Zeke standing beside him, he understood and again confirmed something.
No matter how many disputes these three sons had in between them, they are still quite united in front of outsiders or at least for now they seemed like that.
Seeing that Sam didn’t reply, the third son went on with his noise.
"Look at them being injured and weak. You can clearly help them, but you choose not to. I never met someone as selfish as you. Can you be anymore inhumane?"
The more he spoke, the more the candidates who surrounded him felt that he was right.
Sam looked at that guy and asked. "What’s your name?"
"You can call me Blue fire." The third son said quite proudly. Sam raised an eyebrow at this.
He understood one thing and that is this third son is quite conceited. There is no chance that his parents named him like that, so he must have renamed himself after he awakened the blue flame attribute in his spiritual core.
Since his father isn���t dead it would be not appropriate if he changed his name to Blue flame, but still changing to blue fire doesn’t make it any better, it is as if saying that I am the future marquis and all the people should remember this.
After getting his reply, Sam didn’t bother with him, he knew clearly what other party is trying to achieve.
He wants to use the crowd to take revenge on behalf of his elder brother. Even they might not dare to kill him, he wanted to make him a target of all the candidates.
But he underestimated one thing, that is Sam isn’t just an ordinary person who is intimidated by a crowd.
"You should really share the food."
"Yeah, after all you can’t fully eat them all and it wouldn’t be useful to you anyway."
Some people from the crowd are already forming some opinions on him.
Blue fire was feeling smug about it.
Even if Sam shared his food, there is no way it would be sufficient to all of them.
Even if he did share it, he would be offending the rest of the people and the grudge will be higher, it would be better if he didn’t share at all.
As for healing them, it is completely impossible. He would be emptied out of his spiritual energy and will put himself in a vulnerable position.
So, he took a step back and placed the food portions on the ground. He took a bone knife and said.
"Any one who is confident in getting a portion can get it. As long as you touch it that is yours. But think about the price you must pay before you make a move."
Everyone was stunned. Even the blue fire was surprised.
Never did they expect that he would make a decision to take on a crowd in these conditions.
They looked at each other and just as they were about to make a move, Sam confirmed that they decided on making a move against him and he didn’t even let them attack him, he held his bone knife and immediately moved.
He didn’t hold back at all. He stabbed the person who is in the front on his right chest. The crowd stopped in their tracks, but before they could make out what happened, he took out the knife and threw it at a mage who stood in the back trying to attack.
The knife pierced him in the lower abdomen.
But Sam didn’t stop there. He reached out to a closest guy and broke his arm and when the people around him finally came out of their stupor and made a move at him, he concentrated his wind energy and swung his arm.
"Breeze style: Silent slash"
Sam muttered inside his heart. A gentle breeze flew past the candidates, but they immediately stopped in their tracks, because as soon as the breeze flew past them, they could feel as sharp sensation on their throats.
Subconsciously, they touched their throats and saw some blood. They immediately felt a chill run down their spines.
If Sam got serious, they would have been dead.
Sam looked at Blue fire and Zeke and said mockingly. "As you father said earlier, anything can happen in here, so you better watch your mouths."
After he said that, he took his food portions and walked to his camp as the candidates gave him way automatically.
