Butler Si went to the Star eye sect once again. This is already the fourth time. The first two times, he went there because of Sam, but the third time, he went there to get the location of his disciple and he barely made it there.

Now he is back here for another location on Sam and this time, he hoped would be the last time.

When he went to the elder's residence, the elder was taking a nap. He is resting normally, despite his immense cultivation.

The attendant went there and woke him up as soon as Butler Si arrived inside. The elder woke up and bowed to Butler Si.

"I am really sorry Sir Si. Currently, the toll on my body is too heavy. The first time it was okay, but after I searched for that person named Sam, the second time, I felt a bit fatigued as if some extra resistance is added and I only learned that resistance stayed when I tried to look for your disciple.

That is why it already took so much time to find your disciple.

Currently, the resistance is wearing off a bit, but I will need some more time to get rid of it completely, and then I will do whatever you want."

Butler Si was a bit disappointed. He already learned about this situation when he came here looking for Disciple One, but he hoped it would have been gone sooner, but it seems like he was in too much of a hurry.

"Don't worry, elder. Please rest as you need and don't rush your recovery because of me. But please do inform me whenever you are ready."

"If it is really important, I can recommend you to someone from the sect. I assure you that they will hold every secret for you."

"No, elder. I will just wait for you to recover. No matter how secretive they could be, they could never compare to you and I would only take your services. There is no need for someone else to be involved in our partnership. I will take my leave now. Please do inform me, after you recover."

"Yes, Sir."

With that, Butler Si had to return to the clan in disappointment. He doesn't know why this so-called 'resistance' came upon the Elder, but he does know that anything related to prying into the universe's secrets is dangerous and detrimental. It shouldn't be taken lightly.

If there is such a strong resistance placed on the Elder, then that could only mean that he shouldn't be seen or tracked like this, it is a signal from nature to the elder who is prying.

But everything these Seers do is against nature, so they often ignore these omens and things and will just brace to suffer consequences that might be triggered by their actions. But this is the first time, the backlash hit and stayed for so many days. At least this is the first time, Butler Si, witnessed something like this.

He stayed put for fifteen days and only after that, did the elder contact him.

He went back to the Star eye sect and the elder is ready for doing the same ritual again.

He sat in the middle of the large inscribed formation as he looked for Sam's location once again.

He felt the same resistance as before, but he gritted his teeth and looked for it anyway. He could finally sense the location, but as soon as he was done.

The formation in the room started burning. The ink itself started burning as if it was some kind of fuel being lit up and the flames centered on the elder as they hit him on the chest.

The Elder spat out a mouthful of blood and felt extremely weak.

Butler Si ran in without a second thought and caught hold of him.

"Elder, are you alright? Elder?" He felt a bit anxious. He doesn't know how to react to such a situation. After all, the very reason the Elder was close to him is that he saved his life once, but from the looks of it, Butler Si put his life in danger this time.

He felt guilty and ashamed.

Elder cleared his throat and said.

"Don't worry, Sir Si. I am alright. This is a normal occurrence. Sometimes, one formation can only take some much pressure from the nature so when it reached its limit, something like this would happen once in a while."

Butler Si, was still doubtful about this, but he didn't know what to say for such an answer. So, he could only believe what he was told.

The Elder cleaned up the blood, while Butler Si waited outside. After he came out, he looked a bit pale, but he wasn't too exhausted.

"Butler Si, I am really sorry for the sight you had to witness."

"No, it is okay. I am really sorry that I put you through this."

"I have some information, but I don't think this would help you."

"Please tell me what it is."

"The person you are looking for is within the territories under the Gaja clan."

Butler Si was shocked. This is the last thing he wanted. Sam alone is enough of a problem, but it gets mixed with the Gaja clan, there would be endless trouble.

"Do you at least know, where the approximate location is?"

"That is what I am about to tell you. His location is being masked by the Anti-Seer lock. Which means, he is with one of the young masters of the Gaja tribe in their secret location."

Butler Si sighed deeply.

He looked at the Elder once again and bowed a bit.

"I am really sorry for the trouble Elder. Please ask me if there is anything you want me to do for you."

"Don't be like that Sir Si. I am really sorry, I couldn't help you. I will see if I can find his actual location."

Butler Si nodded and left the place.

He went back to the Clan, but he didn't go to meet Sivan immediately. He felt a bit powerless and wanted to spend his time alone for a bit.

But to his surprise, Sivan himself came looking for him.

"I thought you would be here. It seems like you are also being troubled by Sam."

Butler Si stood up hurriedly and bowed before saying.

"Yes, young master. I wasn't able to stop him. He destroyed the Red glove mercenaries and two of my disciples died. I don't even know if the injured ones will be able to overcome the mental trauma.

I just cannot find a way to corner him. He is just way too prepared."

"That is where you are wrong. Red Glove is only a part of one of our 12 sets of organizations. The set it was part of was not completely destroyed. It was only partially dealt with. You still have time."

"No, young master. From the information I got, Sam is not within our territory anymore. He is actually in Gaja territory."

Sivan raised his eyebrow in surprise.

"Well, then that means, you rectified the immediate problem we are facing. I thought we wouldn't be able to get rid of him in the short time, but he escaped to the Gaja territory after you got involved, which means he felt the pressure.

That is one problem solved, but now we have a bigger problem." They kept on discussing how to deal with this problem.

Meanwhile, Back in the stray dimension.

Sam's research is going smoothly. He wants to create a simulation device that simulates any person's thoughts if they willed to do so. Irrespective of their elemental affinity, but the simulation system itself works with light elemental energy, so it is a bit troublesome. But still, most of his theories were right and he knew he is going in the right direction.

While he was deep in research, Grivon came.

"You came faster than I thought, it has been barely two days," Sam said as he cleaned his hands after he was done inscribing something.

"Well, I have some trouble. While I came looking for you, some of my brothers and sisters from the clan are trying to reach out their filthy claws into the pie that I carefully cooked for myself.

So, I decided I would take your help in getting rid of the claws."

"What is the problem exactly?"

"My brothers and sisters are trying to take over some of my businesses. Granted they are the weakest businesses without much profit, I was just trying to penetrate into the market discreetly in some of the neutral areas."

"Neutral Areas?"

"Areas that are neither under our control nor Mari Clan's control."

Sam chuckled when he heard this.

"Your clans really are self-centered. You divided realms based on that?"

"What can I say? It was hereditary. Anyway, those fields are something that I was not good at, to begin with, and on top of that, I suffered some significant losses just so that I could enter the market, now that the hard part is over, they are taking it over.

I cannot even stop it now, because the clan meeting regarding that was over, while I was in redmatter. So, I need revenge and I am here for your help."
