Chapter 57 - The Fugitive
But before he could ask anything, the rest of the Enforcers team arrived. The Enforcers team was a little wary of Sam, but after the explanation from the doctor they became amicable and thanked Sam from their heart.
But one of the members of the Enforcers had a weird look on his face, he soon pressed his sky watch to browse through it and after a minute, his face was ashen. He took out his plasma gun and pointed it at Sam. The rest of the members were taken aback by their teammates' sudden action .
The chief of Enforcers yelled " What do you think you are doing, pointing a gun at our benefactor Green, put it away immediately..."
The Chief was a hotheaded person he didn't think much about before he acted and he took someone's grace very seriously. But the Lady doctor was much calmer.
She spoke " What is the matter Green..."
Green looked at the Chief and the doctor, but with reluctance he lowered his gun and spoke.
" He is a fugitive wanted by the Alliance government..."
There was a silence in the surrounding, but Sam could see that all the Enforcers had taken certain stances and their hands moved closer to their weapon. The only people that didn't make any move were the Chief and the doctor.
The Old lady thought " Is that why he looked familiar.."
Sam was hoping that this wouldn't happen, It has already been 3 months since his poster had come out, he was hoping that people had forgotten his face. But things never go as one expects all the time.
Evil sword's voice was heard in his mind " You have already exhausted much of your energy and your injuries are not fully healed. If a battle is going to take place, we should make the first move. I will attack the two on the left first to create a distraction, while you use the sand storm technique and hopefully we can retreat without much trouble."
Sam " don't make a move unless I give the signal... You know that, they are reasonable people. Let me try to reason first..."
Sam " If I say , I was framed by someone will you people believe me ....."
Old doctor " It will depend on what you are willing to reveal or we can consider this interaction as ended. We will go our separate ways and will not have any relation with each other.."
The chief also spoke " Hannah is right, we don't know what kind of person you are but you are our benefactor , so this is the least we can do and no one will ever mention about this encounter ever again..... "
Sam too wanted to leave it at that, but he had always been confused about many things relating to this world and this place . This was a good opportunity for him to gain some extra answers from the doctor while she felt like she owed him.
Sam had always felt that there was a hidden fog that enveloped this place which was stopping him from realizing the real truth of this place. And the dangers that he encountered were becoming more and more difficult to face.
So Sam came up with a new story for his real identity, he was an orphan from a nearby planet called Treag. A master took him in and taught him cultivation, but his master disappeared leaving him only a simple note that said, don't look for him if he didn't come back within 5 years. Master didn't return, he waited for another 6 months but there was no news of his master.
He couldn't just leave it be. As his master was like his father and the only family that he got. So he started searching and ended up in Ayangdad, trying to trace his masters footstep. On this journey he encountered certain fortune, which enabled him to advance into the true martial realm.
He had got the news from the detective that he hired, A person matching his masters description was spotted in this great forest of Ayangdad. He started searching for traces here and that is when he met the haughty young master, the incident took place due to the greed of the young master. After adding some spices here and there he cooked up a plausible story.
The chief was the first to speak after hearing Sam's story " If I am not mistaken the young master that you had a fight with was Mike Lomba. A bastard son of the Lomba family... Everyone knows what kind of a piece of shit he is..."
The doctor interrupted the chief " that is enough Hammond .... you shouldn't be speaking like this, you know the consequence if what you speak leaks out..."
The Chief gave a cold harumph and shut up.
The doctor spoke to Sam " Why don't you take a walk with me .... let's talk while we walk...'
Sam followed the old lady to the outside, while the enforcers took care of transporting the children.
