Sam went to the imperial palace and met with the emperor. He is actually pretty frustrated because he didn't want to stay in this place. He is very much looking forward to going to his new place. But there is a boatload of things that are being thrown at him.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Arc came straight to the point.

"Do you remember the tower of will?"

Sam was surprised a bit, but he nodded his head.

"The tower of will is a part of the entrance test for the inheritance of a person named Murali. He is a very powerful cultivator on the whole planet and it was said that when he was in his prime, there are less than five people who are able to contend with him.

Apart from that, he has high mastery in Inscriptions, Paintings, and formation. His swordsmanship is highly efficient and difficult to master."

Arc went on explaining these things. But seeing no reaction of Sam's face he said.

"As you might have known, due to his love for the continent he hailed from, Murali left the four towers as keys to his inheritance within the western continent, so that people here will have a high chance of attaining it.

And the tower of will, the last one of all the keys is recently cleared by you.

The remaining three are already cleared before you did and the successors are all currently at the same level.

All of you are in the Great realm.

One of them is my son, another one is a person from the Thunder god temple and the final person is a cultivator from a tribe that lives in the northern snow plain of Arian.

They don't react much with the outside world, but Murali had laid one tower in that area which gave them a chance to get their hands on one.

Generally, the inheritance only opens when all four people are in the Great realm. If anyone of them crosses the Great realm without entering the inheritance, the key they got from the inheritance tower will be gone and another person must clear the tower again."

Sam was surprised because the info he got was different from this.

"Well, you might have heard that there is a chance that one can kill that person and get their inheritance key, but that is the trick of my father. He manipulated the information so that only people of our family can get their hands on the inheritance.

In this way, every time a chosen person died, then there is a chance for a new batch to get their hands on the key."

Sam shook his head at his and asked.

"So, what should I do now?"

"Right now, all the candidates are ready to enter the inheritance place and for that, all of you have to activate the keys on the top floor of the tower.

When all the four towers are activated, you will be moved to the place of inheritance."

"So, when do we need to go?"

"In fifteen days. On the fifteenth day from today exactly at midnight, you visit the tower and activate the key."

Sam was a bit frustrated; he was never able to catch a break. And he doesn't know how long it will take if he went into the whole inheritance thing.

He doesn't know how to deal with the situation at all. Because he has to work on his upcoming big project.

After some thought, Sam heaved a sigh and agreed reluctantly, but after that, he has something else to say.

"I heard that I can bring five people along with me, is that correct?"

"Sure."

"Then, I need that guy named Hawk. I think you might have known him. He is the son of Falcon Cliff count. I promised that I would take him to the inheritance, so please find him and send him to the Falcon Cliff city.

Apart from that, I have a proposal in which I need your approval."

He then started explaining the new business project. The business project will have some certain large-scale constructions. So, he has to inform the government beforehand before he starts construction at a place, but if he can get the approval of the emperor himself, then he can save a lot of trouble for himself.

After explaining the whole situation, he said.

"Please give me back Sam's battalion. I heard they are conscripted into the military. I will pay for their release. They are some people I can trust a bit. So, I would be needing them."

There is no need of many persuasions.

After some business talks, he was about to leave, but Sam stopped and asked.

"Oh, by the way, where are your brother-in-law and nephew? I didn't see them. Generally, there should be a visit by now."

Sam asked in a meaningful tone.

"Don't worry, they wouldn't be meeting you anytime soon. You can forget about that." Arc replied with a smile.

After Sam left, Arc walked towards a room in the palace, and in there the shameless minister and his stupid and son are completely restrained.

"He really did plan something for you. He even expected you guys to visit. Seems like it was the right to call for me to restrain you guys."

He said to both of them.

"Brother-in-law. Is it how you treat me? I am your relative, that guy is an outsider."

"Do you really think that you would be still alive and kicking if not for your status? I am telling you right now. Don't even try to guilt-trip me with my sister's name.

She was dead indeed, but that is not because someone killed her, it is because of her inherent disease. You are the one who fooled her into marrying you so that you can use this as leverage against the imperial family.

Don't think I don't know anything. I know exactly what your plans are. I am cleaning your asses not because of the guilt but out of responsibility towards my sister.

But I am not tolerating anymore. You guys just had to piss off a person you shouldn't even talk to. My patience ran out. One more mistake and I will behead both of you, so you can meet my sister, about whom you guys love to reminisce about."

With those, words he left the place without even turning back.

Sam didn't know that Arc had made extremely high precautions just so there wouldn't be any conflicts with him and the empire.

Sam got ready to leave. Now all things are finished and he can now return to the Orion. But he has to give some instructions to the Artisan tower officials, as he would be leaving to get the inheritance.

So, he started his journey on Vulture immediately. This time though, there are two extra people.

Felicia and her brother Fred. The twins also traveled with them. Sam is still a bit curious about Felicia. Because of two reasons, one is the Crown prince tried to marry her and the second one is that guy from Arian wants to get her no matter what.

So, he is a bit curious, but just a bit. He couldn't possibly ask her to let him examine her right. He might be cold and unfeeling that doesn't mean he doesn't have any manners.

When Watt saw that Sam is looking at Felicia, he closed into him and whispered.

"Boss, the tests are not complete yet, just wai…" Sam almost kicked this guy off the vulture.

He really is pissed at this guy's behavior.

This time, the journey is unlike before. The vulture is moving full speed ahead. He doesn't have much time and after thirteen days of exhausting journey, they arrived at the falcon cliff city.

Sam's accommodation was quickly taken care of, because his mansion was left untouched. When the temporary count who is in charge of the place heard that Sam is coming, he even sent someone to clean up the whole mansion.

After landing there, Sam immediately went into his room for another retreat. He has to design somethings and hand them over to the artisan tower. These would be the designs of the auxiliary components that would be needed for the project.

Since he is going out anyway, he might as well assign the tasks so that by the time, he came back, he would have fewer things to worry about.

He worked in the divine dimension for the two days and completed a boatload of designs. All the calculations are completed while he was on the vulture.

These designs consist of some machine components and then some building constructions. He was confident that no matter how many people involved these would take around three months to be completed.

By then, he might return from this so-called inheritance.

On the day of the journey, he came out and saw that Hawk is already here. Apart from that, the people from Sam's battalion are also here.

They are conscripted into some local military, so all that needed was a message and here they are.

"Thank you," Hawk said as soon as he met Sam. His face looked haggard and he seemed to be going through a rough patch. Sam just nodded at him and he went to meet people from Sam's battalion.

Unlike Hawk, these people are quite cheerful. They had some small talk and Sam got ready to leave.

Fred and Felicia are left with the battalion and Sam along with the remaining four people went towards the tower of will.
