Sam is radiating killing intent for the first time he came here.

He looked at Arav as if he is looking at the lowest grade of the pests but the most annoying of them all as if he wouldn't be able to rest until he kills it completely.

The reason for such a huge reaction is the cowardly method that was used.

If Arav came at him directly to kill him, he would have not cared much. He would have killed him, but that was just playing tit for tat.

But he used such a method that was completely uncalled for. And the worst part is, he doesn't even know who this guy is. He never met him, didn't have any contact or encounter.

He could guess some things but those are just guesses at the end of the day.

Sam looked at him as his body slowly regenerated. Even without the light element, the vampire body itself has a high regeneration. Even though it is not as fast as healing himself, it still works.

Arav gave a mocking smile, even though his plan has failed.

"I am really sorry. I was so ecstatic that your equipment worked that I forgot about the boundary."

He even had the gall to explain himself like that.

Sam controlled his killing intent and looked at Varien. Nobody could see the expression on his face clearly, but everyone can guess from his body language and the aura he is giving out that he is super pissed.

"I am leaving."

Varien replied nervously.

"Let me come with you. We can go together."

"I am not coming back to the city. I am leaving the sea."

"What? Sam this is too important to us. Please, we can talk this out."

"And why the fuck does that mean anything to me. I am leaving this place now. You can go tell your decision-makers what happened."

Sam turned around and started swimming to the surface.

At this moment, a whirlpool appeared around Sam and stopped him in his tracks.

The only consummate level cultivator looked at him and said.

"You are not going anywhere. Didn't he already apologize?" His voice was cold and absolute. With no room for discussion.

But Sam didn't care.

He just took out the blood-red scroll and showed it to him. The consummate level cultivator frowned and looked at Varien who nodded.

"I signed the scroll on behalf of the siren race."

"Are you mad? How can you sign that? That too to a puny human."

Varien couldn't take it anymore and yell.

"What do you know? Puny this and puny that? Have you ever stopped to think what your position is? What our position is? The only thing we have an edge over the elves is our population and their inability to not survive in the water.

Now the second problem is solved because of him and the first problem will soon be solved with time.

If that is not enough, every day the dangers in the sea are increasing. The sea urchins are already bad enough and they are spreading rapidly reproducing every fucking day.

You are in your mansion drinking the wine that came from the surface and eating all the delicacies every day, having servants do everything you want. An entitled piece of shit that is what you are. Not knowing what the future holds. Looking down on everyone and everything. What right do you have to call anyone puny? Your whole existence is puny and wasted. Look at yourself before you call out everything."

Everyone was surprised by Varien's outburst.

But he didn't care. He swam towards Sam who is stuck in the whirlpool and used his own body to break it before saying.

"Sam, I know this is not fair for you. But I would like you to give me a chance. The Sirens as a whole are too huge than the actions of these two pathetic bastards, I will let you meet the decision-makers and let you discuss with them directly after this. Anything and everything that wronged you will be compensated duly. Please."

"What can compensate an attempt on my life and that too twice? If only something serious could have happened to me, I would have loved to see what would have happened to the sirens. I would really love to hold even last breath to see how the scroll would have reacted."

Varien pursed his lips and said.

"Sam, this time, I swear on my life. Once they knew about the scroll they wouldn't do anything. The product is a success, even if these bastards don't know what is at stake, the people in the upper echelons surely do. I will talk to them. Then you will be able to talk to them. Please give me a chance."

Sam looked at Varien for a second and finally nodded his head.

They swam back to the city. But this time, the transcendent stage cultivators and the consummate stage cultivator stayed silent the whole time and didn't even dare to talk.

They are afraid of Varien, even the consummate level cultivator is also being a bit restrained. Sam first time understood the influence of Varien.

Since he came to the city, he was too busy working. He didn't really enjoy it much and take a look into the workings of the sirens.

It seems like Varien has a bit of influence here and the scroll might even be the reason for that.

After returning to the city, Sam went back to the residence, and Varien went to deal with the situation. The first thing he did is drag Arav and the rest of the enforcement officers and make sure that he gets punished.

The word spread around the city and the attendant that led Sam to the ambush yesterday who is still working on Sam's insistence is the carrier of the news.

He explained the whole situation of the city and its power dynamics and what might lead to what.

The basic layout of the power dynamics is that there are three groups of people. One that supports them being superior to the elves and attacking them any time they wanted.

The second one is against that and are cautious of the elves who could possibly find a way to enter the sea and deal with them, so they support the internal development in the sea and guarding their territory.

The third group is the fence-sitters that go with whatever flow is smooth at that time.

Varien is obviously from the second group and he turned out to be the strongest transcendent stage cultivator in the whole city and in fact it might even be true to be the strongest of all the sirens in the same cultivation realm and no one knows how strong he really is.

That is why the consummate stage cultivator who recently broke through, just a few days ago and also the only consummate cultivator that came to the demonstration is wary of him.

There are even stories of him blocking consummate level attacks with ease. That is why they didn't dare to piss him off too much.

If by any chance he managed to defeat a consummate stage cultivator, then all his glory would go down in the drain.

And Varien's father is also one of the important members of the sirens, but he had to go to someplace where urgent assistance was needed. Otherwise, Sam wouldn't even face any form of resistance.

This would have been easy.

Varien tried to be civil and accommodating with the rest of the group so there wouldn't be any conflict when his father is not here.

But this time, it is already way out of the line. He couldn't take it anymore.

He dragged Arav to the enforcement hall and put him through a special trial.

An enforcement hall is a place where all the trials will be conducted for every crime.

Sirens are generally born with the great mental strength, to begin with, they can even do some mind control and stuff. But there are specially gifted people even among the sirens in this area and they can actually put a man through a mental test where they would only tell the truth and any effort to lie would be detected easily.

The trial is simple.

Whether Arav has intentionally tried to cross the boundary and if that intention is to kill Sam using the help of the Sea urchins.

And there is no suspense there. It was intentional and the reason is also told. Because Sam has a scuffle with a siren on the surface and that Siren happened to be Arav's brother.

Now it was the punishment. For this enforcement, the hall is a bit hesitant.

Arav and Varien have similar status regarding their birth and such. But Varien is far more valuable to the Siren race as a whole.

But still, they don't want to offend the fathers of the duo and decided to throw Arav into prison before Varien's father and other people who went along with him to come back.

Sam is really willing to see what these people would do. He is extremely intrigued on how far Varien would go to prove his sincerity and then Varien came to his residence to say something.

"Currently, the decision-makers that are here are all old fools that are stuck up. They like your idea, but they don't want to have a fair discussion and all they have in mind is to oppress you. So, if you don't mind I would like to ask you to wait for three days until my father comes back. Then we can have that meeting."

Sam didn't really have much to say and agreed.
