Out of the two people, Sam captured only one of them has musician skills and the other one is a pill master. Generally, in normal circumstances, the pill master would most likely be kept alive.

But here with Sam, the situation is different, he only needs the musician alive. As for the pill master, he gave him up for Jwala to deal with.

Currently, the whole team surrounded the two young masters and Jwala as they looked at them carefully.

Miradav is the one who took all the slaps to his face and when Jwala called him brother, he was stunned. He remembered one person that called him and along with the voice, he immediately understood who she is.

"Jyothi?" His eyes widened in disbelief. Before Jwala could speak once again, he muttered.

"How.. How is this possible? You shouldn't be alive."

"Of course, I am sure you are glad that I am alive. Aren't you, my brother?" She spoke as she threw another slap at his face.

Manzi looked at her with an equal amount of shock, but he is a lot calmer compared to Miradav and asked.

"What do you want from us? If this is for revenge, we might have fooled around a bit and troubled you, but we are not responsible for your parents' death. Nothing will come out even if you come after us. Even the new elders that are responsible for your plight have nothing to do with us.

Just let me go and I will help you get your revenge for old time's sake. I can bring one of the children of the new elders and you will be able to get the real payback."

Sam was really impressed by this guy and he is also a musician which would be beneficial for him. He is smart, but not smart enough to understand the depth of his plight.

*PAK*

Jwala slapped straight on his face and Manzi widened his eyes in disbelief. He knew Jwala really well and he knew how vengeful she is. But she was easily manipulated and her rage could have been shifted easily to those new young masters.

But too bad Jwala experienced too much. She could easily see through their plans.

She started torturing them to vent their anger. After some time, Sam and the team got bored and gave them privacy while discussing the plans.

"Okay guys, here is the deal. There are two options on how to deal with the family.

The first one is to do what we did to the Night Demon family. We will infiltrate with the help of Kiran, plant some of these liquid energy cells, make them explode, and kill them without much of an effort.

Of course, I would need to make some effort as I need to create more cells and waste my time.

The second option is to directly fight them. We would announce our arrival and purpose. I will select the organization in my list and they will know why I am here and I am the one who is doing this too.

Our moves will be more open and more people will be witnessing this. The liquid energy cells and any of my other weapons will be a completely last resort.

We will only use them when dealing with the head of the family, who is at a late stage of Astral Plane transcendence or if things get out of hand.

In this option, you will get more hands-on with the Merene family and this would also be great training for you guys. You take your time and decide on something unanimously before tomorrow morning."

With that, he left them to make a decision.

The next day.

Jwala was done with Miridav who died painfully. Manzi is petrified and is still looking at what is left of his fellow captive.

Sam threw him into the chessboard and immediately put him through the chess games against some undead creatures.

Night Ghost already got some information from the dead guy about the tensions of the family. Even though some old elders supported the merger with the new elders, it didn't mean that they are all getting along well and all of them are now a big happy family.

There are many tensions, many conflicts of interests, and many problematic clashes within them, which they could advantage of.

After going through the information, Sam asked.

"So, what do you guys want to do? First option or the second one?"

"Of course, second one boss. Some of us or on the verge of a breakthrough, a good proper battle might get us there.

When we finish two to three targets, none of us would be at Pre-transcendence anymore, except you of course."

Kiran said from the side. His enthusiasm is a little over the top, because, he knew if they chose the first option, he would be the one doing all the rat-work. He wanted to use his disguise ability for his safety and for some mysterious legend he wanted to create for himself.

But now, he is doing spy work, as good as it might be and as easy as it is, he couldn't bring himself to enjoy doing it. He tried hard to convince everyone to take the second option and even owed a few favors.

Sam nodded and said.

"Okay, then pick some targets for yourselves and make your move. Go to their usual working place, don't even bother talking to them, and beat the living crap before capturing them and coming into the woods.

Don't kill them directly or leave them there alone if possible. We might need the information. You can take all the resources, but spirit stones are mine.

I want you guys to have perfect timing. Exactly by noon, all of you will attack your targets and all of you will disappear from the city at the same time, stay in contact with each other all the time. I will send a bird puppet that holds a portable communication hub into the city.

Don't mess it up."

Everyone nodded and went through all the information. Night Ghost didn't have a competition for the targets, he has all the middle stage transcendent cultivators for himself. But the initial transcendent stage cultivators have some competition, everyone wanted the toughest target for themselves.

Particularly, Saber Monarch and Vidyut are fighting like little kids. Paras looked through the targets and found a guy who is a demi giant. He is one of the outer section members of the merene family but he is very powerful and an Initial stage Transcendent cultivator. He is the subordinate of a middle stage Transcendent stage cultivator who is also a new elder in the family, he went to Night Ghost and said something, both of them agreed on it and Night Ghost picked that new elder.

Both of them left to do some scouting.

After much discussion and quarrel, Vidyut and Saber Monarch managed to agree on something. Both of them let go of their initial target and decided to go after the twins who can use spatial elements. These two guys are formation masters and they didn't pick any other art other than formations.

They might not be the strongest in their bunch, but they are dangerous.

They also left.

The rest of the group didn't have much problem when picking their targets. Even Agar and Argan picked their targets even though they are the weakest, they improved a lot with peer pressure they have.

The whole team dispersed into the city, with only Sam waiting in the mountain cave.

He sent a bunch of bird-type puppets that could help the team have a communication network but could also provide him live feed.

He took a seat and looked at the screens as he anticipated a great show.

Soon it was noon. At this moment, Sam activated the wrist screen and selected the Merene family in the list.

He looked at the current situation with a smile.

At this moment, Indra who is thinking about the Jaman Planet situation in his abode got the alert that someone selected his followers.

He opened it and was stunned to see Sam's name again.

"This cocky bastard, just how many of my powers will be destroyed by him. Out of all the players that could do it, why this guy?"

There is a reason for his frustration though because the last one that Sam destroyed also belongs to Indra and this made him feel a bit frustrated.

He took a seat and sent his consciousness into the statue of the Merene family.

When the Merene family head got the news from the temple attendants he immediately ran to the temples and performed the ritual.

"For the past few days, did you see anomalies in your territory?"

Indra asked.

"No, Lord."

The family head replied. Indra didn't say much and said.

s

"A guy named Sam is currently in your territory and he is here for your family heirloom. I want you to try all your means to kill him. At any cost, he must die.

I know you want to ascend more. If you managed to kill him at any cost, I will rescind the curse placed on you and I will send a purer Gandharva to consummate some marriages so that you can have much pure-blooded offspring,"

The family head looked at Indra in shock.

"Even if my whole family dies, I will definitely finish this task."

He knelt down and spoke those words. Indra has a smirk on his face. Every time, Sam's opponents gave up by the end and gave up the heirloom when the god didn't help them to counter Sam, but this time things would be different.
