The next day of the Ball. Early in the morning, it is the time for Shadow mice to report.

Sam is in his study listening to the report of the Shadow mice. After the report was done, he went into a deep thought.

"You guys, first target ten low-level novices. Each of you mark one. And it is better if they are a bit far away from each other. Tonight, I will be proceeding in next step.

But before that, I need you guys to practice your shadow transverse. You enter the second floor in the tower and practice for ten hours, that means an hour later you will be going back to your duty. Tomorrow, I will give you guys a new gadget to practice, I need you guys to do something for me."

*squeak* *squeak* [Yes, Boss]

After saying his piece, Sam waved his hand and all of them disappeared into the tower.

Sam called Jack over to the study and said. "Tonight, we are going to make a move, but we aren't going after the acolytes in the Northern region, it is too dangerous and there are a lot of high-level cultivators. We are going to move against the low- level Novices."

"Okay. Are we moving on birds again?"

"No. we are going to move normally. We will begin this after sun sets."

"Sure."

"I think it is better for you to speed up your cultivation." Sam said in a low voice. Even though he didn't want to say something like that, but he can't help it. They are going against an underworld organisation who has several Novices on later stages and even a Great Mage. But it is still okay, for now because Sam made some not-so- direct means to face them, but they can't just continue this.

"Not everyone is a monstrous as you okay. I am already at late stage novice and it is already considered quite high, you are the monster for being a Novice at 15." Jack didn't take offence at all. He clearly knew that he is depending on Sam too much for this. He doesn't have Sam's resources and skills and even his battle prowess isn't much compared to other party.

"Okay, then. Try to advance to Novice as soon as possible. We would be dealing with Novices from now on.

By the way, I have to make something for today's mission. I am going to the Artisan tower. You also prepare yourselves."

After that both of them went on to do their own things, Sam arrived at the Artisan tower after a while and took a private weapon forge.

He took out a scroll and opened it on the table. This is a new design he made to collect an important resource to help little panthers upgrade their bodies potential. He was quite aversive against this resource as it went against his conscience, but after thinking about what Black pond has done to people and particularly to both the panthers, he made up his mind.

He took out the purple gold and the last bit of remaining Golden blood tiger bones. He wants to make an alloy for the thing he is going to make. The golden blood tiger bones are very hard and their ductility is very less.

Purple gold is too soft and isn't suitable to take much force, so he decided to make an alloy out of it.

But to have a better alloy, one needs to make a lot of experiments, but he only made a rough estimate and directly doing it because this tool, he is only going to use it for one time. Since, he knew that he can find some Meteorite sands through the Black water organisation, he decided that all his tools and machines should be made by the meteorite sands or other similar level materials only.

They can nurture a spirit along with the passage of time and he will have some great tools which can even work without his direct involvement. Until then, he just needs to find some alternatives to make do with it.

Even though this may feel ambitious, but he wasn't least bit depressed about it. He is ambitious and that is the only thing that made stand on the peak of the previous world and this time, he will ascend the peak with the same attitude.

Just because, he is in a different world, just because he is in a world filled with people with far more power, just because he is surrounded by so many powerful cultivators than him, he doesn't want to change his character or his attitude. If he changes his character just because he is in a different world and different situations, he won't be Sam anymore.

He went to the Cauldron and started his alloy making by pouring all the golden blood bone powder and the purple gold in powder form. He released his golden fire and started melting it....

After the alloy was formed, Sam started his process of casting and forging. After a few hours of work, he was finally done with the tool and he walked back to the mansion.

He went to take some rest and woke up before the sunset.

Jack and Sam changed into some black clothes and moved out of the mansion. After making sure that nobody is following them with the help of a shadow mouse, both of them went to the area of their first target.

It is a small house with nothing special. A young man in his twenties is meditating inside the house while he sat cross-legged. He has some spirit stone in his hands.

Sam whispered to Jack. "We aren't going to kill him; I need him alive." After that both of them entered the house.

The man in the house was immediately alerted when he sensed someone else's presence inside his house.

"Who is that?" He shouted in a not so loud voice. But he didn't really get any reply.

Jack took out his Black meteorite sword, while Sam took out his make shift claws.

After both of them were marked, they exchanged a look and got ready to make their move. Sam sneaked to a corner as he restrained his aura to as low as possible. When the man came out of the room he was cultivating in and spotted Jack, he immediately took out a sabre and asked.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my house?" His voice was cautious as he eyed his opponent, but got no reply. Jack immediately swung his sword in a swift move, but the other party is a first level Novice. He easily blocked the sabre and smiled wickedly.

"A brat at Acolyte stage is trying to take me on, you must be dreaming." But just as he finished saying this, he felt a huge force struct on his back. Some sharp objects pierced just below his shoulder blades and gripped a huge piece of his flesh.

Before he could react, he felt a claw against his neck just a bit away from piercing into him. He didn't even dare to move. Taking the advantage, Jack immediately knocked down the man and both of them heaved a sigh.

Jack then looked at Sam. He is thinking how they should move this man away. Sam also looked at him and said.

"You better keep whatever you are going to see a secret." Jack nodded his head and Sam waved his hand. The man on the floor immediately disappeared and reappeared in the second floor of the tower. This is the best place to keep the person as the world in the second floor is solely controlled by Sam.

Jack was struck with shock. He didn't know that Sam has a storage item to keep living beings, if this thing was to go out, maybe even the Count who is friendly and amiable to the common folk would make a move on Sam to take away the item.

He came out of stupor only after Sam gestured him to move. Both of them went on to capture their next target. The scene repeated again and again until they successfully captured the ten targets they set today.

After their mission is completed, they went to the mansion.

Sam immediately went to the second floor and saw the ten people, who regained their conscious, when they saw Sam, they immediately shouted at him.

"Who the f.u.c.k are you? Do you even know who we are?"

"You better leave us now. Or you won't be able to bear the consequences."

"Since, you captured all of us, you must know we work together. The retaliation of our organisation is not something, you cannot deal with it."

They went on and on until Sam almost regretted capturing them. Sam immediately made a gesture and they immediately felt a force shutting their mouths.

"You guys might not know who I am, but those two definitely know about it. Isn't it so?" He said as he pointed at two people who just stood there without talking at all.

The rest of the group turned towards them and could see their faces with anxiousness.

"Artisan Sam, Are you the one responsible for previous incidents?" One of the two asked after mustering enough courage.

"Oh, your guess is correct." Sam replied.

"Just for injuring two panthers, do you need to go this far?"

"Actually, if you have directly killed them, I would have just found you both and killed you off, but the thing is you cut off their limbs when they are completely conscious. How much pain do you think, that they went through? they aren't even a year old." Sam's voice grew colder and colder.

"So, I decided to use you guys as tonic food for them, but then I found out that an assignment I took coincides with wiping you guys off, so I am now going to use you guys to make my panthers stronger. So, you can only blame yourselves for attacking my panthers. If it was just an assignment, I could have just supplied the other party some support. You guys just brought this up on yourselves."

After saying that, Sam took out a weird looking thing.

This is the tool that Sam made today. The took has a needle which as long as an elbow of average man. The needle is hollow, like a needle of a syringe.

The lower end of the needle is connected to a funnel shaped hollow shell. The bigger end of the funnel is connected to red colour cylindrical object, which has an uneven surface area.

This is the trunk of the Giant Blood mosquito he bought over from the Vickers' store. This acts like a natural suction pipe which the beast uses to suck all the blood from a living being. Then at the other end of the trunk there is another funnel shaped shell which is larger than the first one.

The trunk is connected to smaller end and the larger end is connected with a huge glass bottle. The shell of the big funnel has a handle for him to hold.

Sam looked at the confused expressions of the ten people and without caring much, he walked towards the first person. The other person was anxious and was fearful when he saw Sam's cold and emotionless expression.

Sam immediately pierced the person near his heart. When the other person tried to dodge, he wasn't able to do this and only stood there and helplessly took the attack.

Sam closed his eyes and started injecting his spiritual energy into the trunk through the tool, the trunk immediately started expanding and contracting extracting the blood into the glass bottle. The bottle is huge and it can hold up to two litres. Soon after it was filled, Sam immediately took another bottle and replaced the already filled one.

The process stopped only after he filled two bottles completely and half- filled the third one. The person who got his blood extracted was now a blood less corpse. His body collapsed as Sam pulled out the needle. Then he turned towards the rest of the people to pick his next target.

They immediately broke out in cold sweat, they wanted to talk but they don't even have an ability to move their lips, all they could do was plead with their eyes, they are tearing up, some of them urinated, but Sam didn't bat an eyelid as he proceeded.

The last person is the one who attacked the panthers, he looked at Sam with immense regrets. He regretted that he accepted the job against this guy. He is too ruthless and merciless. He isn't even human now.

Sam looked at more than twenty bottles of blood and sighed. He actually, didn't like what he did. Even though he didn't like these guys and they are absolute sc.u.m of society, he didn't want to do something as cruel as extracting blood from a fellow human.

The only reason he did this is that, the fire poison in panthers' body is being more active than he thought. He overestimated their bodies and fed them that as a supplement, now he needs to upgrade and enhance their blood quality to save them.

So, he decided to make this move. No matter how much capable he is, he is still a human and just like every other human, who will do anything when they have to save their loved ones, Sam also did this.

Just that, these guys are part of destroying many more previously and are absolute sc.u.m in the society is only thing that gave him some relief against his guilt.

"I hope that the blood will be enough." Sam said as he burned the corpses to ashes, even the bones disappeared.
