When Sam was back at the Mansion, there was no one inside, he searched for them and he found out that all the people are in the yard. When he went there, all of them are looking at something silently.

"What are you guys doing here?" Sam asked as he walked towards them. Everyone looked at him and all of them felt cold sweat on their backs. Nobody, dared to open their mouth and tell them what happened. When he saw what they are looking, his world seemed to come to a standstill.

There is a pool of blood in the yard, making the green grass turn red and in the centre of the pool, the two panthers lay fainted with their four legs chopped off and the legs are just thrown along with them. Their expressions are filled with pain and despair.

Sam felt his blood run cold. He looked at the two panthers and clenched his fists. Rest of the group all sensed the killing intent emitting from Sam. They felt the air coming to stand still. They can almost smell the blood lust from Sam. It is as if he was craving for blood now.

If Sam knew of their thoughts, he would definitely agree, he is really craving to kill and craving for blood now. He never had this much desire to kill, since he came to this world.

The rest of the group, felt suffocating from Sam's aura. It is as if he will cause blood shed at any second. Their legs felt weak as they took a step back slowly.

They expected Sam to get mad, get angry, go berserk and curse at them. But never did they expect that he would be this calm. But this calmness is even more threatening to them, than all the other scenarios. Sam slowly walked to the Panthers bodies and checked their condition.

After confirming that both of them are still alive, Sam placed the legs in the position and started healing one by one. The attacker seemed to have done this recently, their legs are still warm and are in condition to join. The group looked at him nervously. They didn't even dare to ask, since when he can heal. After an hour, Sam completed the healing and carried the panthers one by one carefully to his room and then, he laid a formation and placed all the fire elemental spirit stones left on him to give the panthers time to recover.

He walked out of the room and asked the group. "Who did this?" This is the first sentence he spoke since he saw the scene.

Philip picked up the courage and said in a low voice. "We don't know. Some seemed to be sneaked in to the yard and then did that. We only knew it when we heard the growls." By the end of sentence, Philip's voice almost sounded like a mosquito buzz.

"You guys can go now." Sam said and walked into the room. There he sat down in the connected study and called for the shadow mice. Only four mice came.

"What happened?" Sam asked in gloomy voice.

*squeak* *squeak* [Boss a guy dressed in black came. His cultivation level is higher than yours. He came like a shadow and left like a shadow. Number 3 followed him to find out intel on him.]. One of the mice spoke. Sam named the mice with numbers from 1 to 10. He dismissed them and waited there patiently. After sometime someone knocked on the door.

*Knock* *knock*

Sam opened the door and saw Kelly standing there. "Eisen came. He said that he has a message from Principal." She said in a low voice.

Sam didn't reply and just walked out of the room and went downstairs, she hurriedly followed him. Sam saw Eisen sitting in a chair comfortably. He saw Sam's gloomy expression and became smug. His plan succeeded. That is what he thought. When Sam finally came and sat down, he said.

"Principal told me to warn you. With your arrogant attitude, don't piss of every person you meet. There are some people in this world you shouldn't provoke. There would be people who will teach you a lesson. They don't care what status you have." When everyone heard these words, they felt confused, but didn't say anything. But Sam narrowed his eyes and looked at Eisen with a cold gaze. He knew better than anyone else, that Principal wouldn't say anything like that. Because, they are like equals in business and they don't have student and teacher relationship.

There is only possibility and that is Eisen's words are implying something. Eisen didn't know Sam's thoughts. He just wanted to see Sam's gloomy expression and wanted to say those words. But he felt that it would be better to use Principal's name, because he thought that Sam would never confront Principal. But he didn't know at the moment that he was dead wrong. He stood up and gave Sam a smug look and left.

Sam also stood and without talking to the group, he walked towards his room. By this time, the shadow mice appeared again and there are five mice. Number 3 came forward and said as soon as Sam appeared.

*squeak* *squeak* [Boss, the attacker is from Piranha organisation. Someone hired him to teach you a lesson, and that is by crippling your panthers. I followed him and went found out the assignment hall, where they accept customers. I came after that to report to you]. Number three just said everything without Sam asking in a single breath.

Sam nodded and sent the remaining mice out of the dimension and said. "From today onwards, you guys have only one duty. Find out where the hide outs and head quarters of Piranha are. I want you guys to take note of every possible place they occupied. Their businesses, their meeting points, everything. You guys will report me everything about them at the cave I went in the morning. Number six to ten knows the address. You have time till the tournament is over. The day the tournament is over, you should be having all the info. First, I will give you guys an upgrade."

Sam said and took them all into the tower inside the divine dimension. He took out a large brush used to make the inscriptions and then started drawing a huge circle and various runic figures. Then after half-an -hour of drawing when the circle is completed, he took out some formation flags and started placing them in various places within the diagram, after a long while, he took out more than a thousand dark element spirit stones and placed them in various places inside the diagram. He stood at a place which is similar to the node he used to stand in an inscription and injected the spiritual energy in neutral form.

"Number 1" Stand in the circle. He ordered and the mouse came and stood in the centre of the diagram. The diagram activated and the dark elemental energy started seeping out of the elemental spirit stones and entered the mouse. The mouse trembled at the tremendous amount of spirit energy entering it body and then the blood flow. It started purifying the blood as numerous amounts of black particles seeped out of its pores.

Sam just continued injecting the spiritual energy and this process continued on for hours until all the spirit stones turned into dust.

Sam fainted and the mouse came out of the dark light. Its fur became darker and more luscious. The aura emitted from it is more superior then the rest of its peers. The rest of mice became excited and then they looked at unconscious Sam and became worried. They waited for him to get up.

Sam woke up after sometime, he took out some spirit stones and started absorbing its energy frantically. The technique he used, is a part of Bloodline refinement and Evolution manual. It is used for purifying the blood line. After recharging himself with energy, he placed another batch of Dark elemental spirit stone and proceeded with another mouse. The process repeated for hours in the tower and the outside dawn appeared.

After he was done with the refinement of all the mice, he came out of the dimension and sent them off to the duty. He washed up and went outside to see Philip and others.

"I am going into seclusion; I will come to the academy directly on the day of competition." He didn't wait for his reply and walked out of the mansion. There are five days for the competition. He wants to completely cure Sky as well as form a contract with him as soon as possible. But before that.

"Call Eisen over here." Sam went to meet with the Principal.

Principal felt a little weird by Sam's cold mood, but he didn't ask anything and sent someone over to call Eisen over.

When Eisen came inside the room and saw Sam sitting like he owns the place in front of Principal, he felt a bad premonition.

"Sir, you called me over."

Principal didn't see anything and looked at Sam. Sam looked at Eisen but talked to principal.

"Sir, did you send Eisen to pass me a message yesterday?" Eisen immediately became tensed.

"What message are you speaking about?" Principal frowned and asked.

"Nothing much." Sam replied and recounted what Eisen said yesterday. Without waiting for Principal's reaction, he stood up and walked towards Eisen and slowly whispered.

"You better not be related to what happened yesterday. Or you better pray that you will stay alive if you are related." When Sam said these words, Principal also heard faintly and immediately asked.

"Sam, what happened? We can talk it over."

"Well sir. Yesterday before Eisen came to my mansion, someone sneaked and chopped of the limbs of my panthers." Sam said and left without waiting for his reply.

Principal understood something and immediately looked at Eisen and asked. "Are you related to this?" His voice became cold with anger.

"N-no sir. He is just maligning me." Eisen immediately refused to admit.

"Why would he do that?" Principal asked in an even colder tone.

"He- He might have been jealous of me because you made me the leader of team." Eisen blurted out after thinking a bit.

"Bahahaha" Principal laughed sarcastically. "You better tell me truth or you won't be able to handle the consequences. You might not have seen his admission test, but he killed seven seniors from noble families, just because they called him 'bastard'. Now that his pets are crippled, you can count your lucky stars if he doesn't torture to death."

Hearing this Eisen's face lost colour. He didn't think that Sam was this ruthless, even though he heard some rumours in the academy, he simply thought they are exaggerating and brushed them off. He started to feel scared. Even though he is stronger than Sam now, he is five years older than latter and his improvement is far slower compared to latter. He might not be in danger, but what about in the future?

Looking at his pale face, principal immediately understood and walked out of the room. He saw Sam on the road walking slowly and hurriedly caught up with him.

"Sam, the thing with Eisen. Can we talk about this?" Principal asked, but he only got Sam's arrogant smirk as response and then walked away. He immediately held his head. He really can't use force against Sam because of latter's status and Eisen is also not someone with lower status. He got struck in between rock and hard place.

Sam walked towards Vickers's store. He entered the shop and was greeted by the mischievous smile of the middle-aged man.

"What do you need Sam? It is rare for someone to meet me this frequently." Vickers's said with smile.

"I need that thing." Sam pointed towards a long pipe like thing which is red in colour with an irregular surface, displayed on the shelf.

"Oh, trunk of the Giant Blood mosquito. A weird choice. May I know what are you planning to make?"

Sam only gave him a cold look.

"Okay, okay. 1000 spirit stones."

Sam placed the stones on the table and took the trunk and left the shop. He walked towards the slums, to go to the cave.
