Sam moved to the nearby forests with his friends and this time, he arranged his stay deep inside a lake.

He is waiting for the aftermath of the things he had done. He is waiting for the imperial authority to realize that he is not messing around and their threats and smearing his name is a form of Childs play.

From his calculations and predictions, the day his deadline would be over is the day the results of his actions would be famous around the empire.

The first thing is when Sam is messing around in the miner's town, the investigators found the message he left near the Indigo Sea City. The message he left with the stone arrangement.

Then they knew that trouble is brewing and the newly found large traffic of people who are mining the aqua crystal is not helping.

They don't know what Sam even did. But one day, they learned what he did in a hard way and that came after the first attack of the Grey Fin porpoises.

A shoal of Porpoises directly entered the region and went straight ahead towards the Under Water mine.

They attacked without even caring about the defensive formation and the worst part is that the leader of that Shoal is a Level 5 Beast and the underlings are Level 4 Beasts. They didn't expect a single shoal would be this powerful and the attack is only a starting point.

They finally managed to defeat the shoal with great difficulty, but the main problem came after that.

The whole Porpoise family seemed to have gotten angry because of their attack and all of them attacked as a whole and then only the guarding team felt a huge pressure.

The huge pressure of tens of Level 6 Beasts and an aura that is even beyond that. A level seven beast is actually a very high level and it is on par with the Marshall. But if the fight is in the water then even the emperor would have some trouble dealing with them and they can feel more than one presence of such caliber.

"There seemed to be several Pre-transcendent beasts and that only means, there would be a transcendent beast leading them. What is happening? How did we ignore this level of threat all these years?"

The level of cultivation of the Beasts and humans is almost same. Level 6 equals a Nascent cultivator. The next one would be Level 7 beasts which would equal a Pre-transcendent cultivator, which is the next stage of cultivation after Nascent.

And the next one Level 8 beasts, include the Transcendent Mortal Cultivators.

Because after the Nascent stage, a cultivator will not be a normal human but he is still mortal. These names are given based on their unnatural lifespan which would increase drastically after their breakthrough to these stages.

Sam is still far from this anyway, but he did have his info and when the news got to him, he was stunned. The Transcendent Porpoise wouldn't even be attracted to the Spiritual stone mines, but their community is so close-knit and this would make things completely different.

The first shoal which strayed into the area of the mines, only charged at the mine as they are attracted to the spiritual energy, but the humans attacked them. Although they fled in the defeat, the rest of the porpoises wouldn't be so lenient.

The next attack was accompanied by hundreds of Level 4 and Level 5 followed by tens of Level 6.

They didn't even have to attack, because as soon as they entered the area, the humans in charge of mining in the two areas left the place.

Just like that the underwater mines are gone and the mines at the shore are the only things left but within ten days, they are also gone.

Now, the seashore became a restricted zone.

Even Sam didn't expect that things would be like this. He didn't expect the scale of the threat these porpoises would cause. He obviously didn't expect that the Porpoise community have a Level 8 as their leader.

He also wondered no matter how big the beast is and how strong it is, they are still irritated by the small aqua crystal which causes irritation to them and they are averse to it.

He was stunned about this because, from what he understood, the Level 8 can just ignore all of these, heck, it can ignore the attack from a lightning strike while it was still in the water at that level. But now it is still showing an aversion to aqua crystal, and it is still sticking to its basic instincts.

Anyway, simply put, the whole coastline was a lost cause for the Empire.

They lost all the resources, including the mines, the seafood, coral materials for auxiliary purposes, everything.

Now, if they want to have some seawater they have to think twice.

The Porpoises took a hold of all the coastline.

At this moment, General Fischer was shocked by the sudden development and he has a feeling that this situation is somehow related to Sam.

But he doesn't know, how and at this moment, a letter was dropped at the doorstep of his temporary house.

"How are the Porpoises? By the way, if you want to blame someone, blame the people who plundered the Aqua crystal. The crystal is the one keeping the Porpoises at bay, and now that they took them out you all have new neighbors to share the sea.

_Sam."

General Fischer, collapsed into his chair and he didn't know how to react. Sam really did up his game. Since the Duke kidnapped his friends, he made the people themselves ruin the whole coastline. A sea which is a treasure trove is now a danger zone where they can only go but never to return.

If the people knew that their greed was the one which made this, how would they feel? If they knew that their emperor pissed off someone and their Duke pissed off that person even more by holding his friends hostage and that person just went on took their anger out on them. How would they feel?

Now, the people of the empire are also getting involved. He has a feeling that if things haven't escalated Sam would have just taken care of the mines and left the place.

At this moment, another shocking news came to his notice and that is Sam's signature was left in one of the abandoned mines near Miner's town.

This made his heart turn cold. He can guess what Sam would have done to the mine.

So, he asked.

"What is the situation?"

When he understood the situation, he doesn't even know what to do anymore. Everyone is Nauseated in the mines? When they tried to burn out any form of gases, they are having diarrhea?

He didn't even know to react or report the situation so he left the job to the person in charge. After calming down a bit, he went over all the situations and he found out one thing in common. And that is Sam didn't harm the people directly and he didn't do any drastic.

He made his moves, discreetly and he didn't even damage the core of any resource with an irreversible attack.

Of course, the fields and mines cannot be remedied and not anytime soon and they didn't have any methods, but that doesn't mean, Sam doesn't know about them. As far he was concerned if Sam wanted to damage them permanently he can just blast them off as he did with the Van family.

But there is no such thing.

He immediately called Duke from the nearby Marquis mansion and reported his observation.

Then only they came to the conclusion that Sam is going easy on them and when the Duke recalled the Emperor's new orders, he suddenly became fearful.

All this while, they only smeared Sam as a thief and he acted mildly, if the order of the Emperor reaches and that makes all the people hate Sam. This might make him act like a terrorist.

After all, no matter how much a person avoids the opinion of all the other people's opinions, it is still too much for a prideful youngster to bear millions of people calling him a terrorist, cursing him.

Emperor wants to use public opinion to make it hard for Sam. He wants Sam to lose his cool and go crazy in which situation a person is very highly prone to make mistakes.

Better, if Sam's breaks down completely mentally, that would be great for them.

But is Sam really a normal person?

All this time, they just saw Sam doing damage, but they didn't gauge the scale of the damage he did and certainly didn't analyze his actions. Now, if they consider their new observation, things might not be good for them.

It would be better if those things don't happen, he took a deep breath and gave an order to manipulate the rumors and made his subordinates not publicize Sam as a terrorist. But the worst part is that he is very late.

Right now, Sam is looking at a letter passed to him by the Blackwater agent about the news of him and his friends being terrorists. He has an extremely evil smile on his face.
