2252 Sphere
Two hours later.
The Gambler Academy is once again surrounded by people. People from different families and other academies are all swarming around it.
Wharton hovered in front of the academy and looked at them.
He addressed the Dean of the Poseidon academy who stood there in the front of the group.
"Are you sure you want to do this? Because by now, I am fucking tired from holding back. I will not be responsible for anymore deaths from this point on. They are all on you." Wharton directly issued a threat of death.
"You can avoid this Wharton.
All you need to do is handover Sam and we will turn back around without causing a fuss."
"Are you fucking listening to yourself speak? You brought all these people just to take care of one first grader? Do you have any pride left as a Dean?"
"That first grader is related to the biggest terrorists that the academy realm has ever faced."
"You already interrogated him. That guy just made deals with the said terrorists. Just like you and I did. What is the point of harping on one first grader when you failed miserably at dealing with them by yourself?
It is one thing that the Olympian academies are not feeling ashad of not being able to catch the managers and joker, but to try and shift the responsibility on to a first grader? Can you stoop any lower?" Wharton fired back.
"Can you stop this nonsense? We are here to take Sam by hook or crook. Are you handing him over or not?"
…
The argunt went on. The tensions are high, but nobody is making the first move.
Ling Tian is still talking to Sam.
"The deaths of information mules have been reduced."
"They are halted temporarily. But they will not stop for long." Sam said.
"No, right now everyone is surrounding the academy. They are after you. I guess, you are enticing enough to keep everything on a tight leash for now. They have gathered the families of everyone that was killed in the ss caused by hub."
"True, indeed. However, do you really think that I didn't calculate for this? In fact, I hoped all of these external forces will be here.
After all, the information is tightly locked in the Academy realm because of the ss I caused. These families only know the partial truths about the deaths of their children. However, now that they are here, things will be a lot more interesting.
You don't have to worry, that not even half of these people will be focusing on the Gambler academy in the next five minutes.
All you need to do is activate this device and it will done."
Sam took out a spherical device and handed it over to Ling Tian.
"Really, you are using to make your plan work? Do you really need to do this?"
"Of course, its your wish if you want to use it or not. However, I do believe that just because the Gambler academy is strong, doesn't an it can endure two back to back attacks in just the span of twenty-four hours.
You can use it to make them back out."
"What is this exactly?"
"It is what I would like to call a mory Injector. It injects a lot of video information into a person's brain in a flash of a second. Use this, almost no one from that large group will attack you. Except for the people directly from the other academies.
The other families will all scatter."
Ling Tian hesitated for a mont before he gritted his teeth and walked out with that mory Injector.
Sam smiled at this and let him walk out.
This is actually one of the many possible developnts that Sam has foreseen. When he executed the mory mule strategy, he knew the first triggers would be so desperate people killing their mules. From there, he laid down few possible paths.
One of them is the desperation of the academies that gather together to deal with Sam and they will obviously use so borrowed knives.
And the best way to do that is that they will not reveal the whole information regarding the deaths of the students and use the Hub as the target while convincing the families. He hoped they did that and if that is true, he had the perfect way to trigger these borrowed knives and turn them away.
Ling Tian reached the entrance.
There Wharton's aura is raging as he was surrounded by a bunch of elders from different families.
Unlike before, instead of using the layered defenses, Wharton directly stepped into the field.
*BAM*
With a single punch, he tore the face of one of the elders and made him crash into the ground like a ragdoll.
"You fucking bastards. I am done reasoning with you all. Co at all of you. I will kill everyone of your bastards today."
Wharton started screaming. At this mont, Ling Tian pressed a button on the sphere and threw it into the air.
*BANG*
With a loud noise, it exploded with a series of flashes. Several images, hundreds of them were all flashed in front of them. Along with several voices.
They could feel the information getting injected into their heads. They are unable to stop it. It would be more accurate to say that they don't know how to stop it. Their minds are out of their control for a mont and are frantically absorbing the knowledge displayed in front of them.
Sam created this sphere as an experint.
Back on Earth there was a TV show nad Chuck. The main character has a special brain that could store a super computer's worth data in his head, through a very special device called the Intersect. While working on the information projects of the Hub, he tried this.
The cultivators' minds are upgraded along with their cultivation level. Their mory capacities and the ability to absorb a lot of information is way too high.
So, Sam thought he would try this and it worked perfectly.
Ling Tian was also subjected to the flash and even he was surprised by how fast his mind absorbed the information.
He hurriedly ca back to his senses and said.
"As much as you would like to take that first grader with you and get information on the hub, understand that the hub alone is not the reason for the deaths of your kids.
The major reason is actually the academies that you entrusted your kids to and their greed to get more and more from the hub.
The actual culprits the ones who actually took the life or your kids and the way they died.. I am sure the new information shows all of it."
Ling Tian's words triggered the whole crowd.
One of the family leaders looked through the info and scread.
"Bastards from the Brign family. Your son killed my daughter. I will not let him live. He shall pay the price with his life."
He scread and imdiately led his family mbers towards the Athena Academy.
"You… how dare an instructor from the ares academy collude with an outsider to kill my son. And the academy dared to cover it up. I will kill you all."
Another person turned towards the Ares academy instructor who thought he was the only one lucky enough to cover up his tracks in killing one of the mules.
Those are not the only triggers though.
Another major trigger is actually directed towards the Dean.
"Why did you deny us attacking the Hub? If the person behind this used the hub to play with all of you and got our kids killed, why didn't attack that place instead?
So of the other families also ntioned that Bloody Chariot of the Zeus academy was defending the hub. Why is this happening?
Instead, you brought us to fight with Gambler academy and even claim that a first grader has answers for all of this?
To think we are almost fooled by you.
It seems like you guys are only using and our grief to deal with your competition."
That was the conclusion one of the family heads ca to.
And that ignited so really hot rage.
Just like what Sam said, except for the Deans who are glaring at Ling Tian and Wharton, the rest of them are occupied. More than half the forces left to deal with the Hub, so went to the Zeus academy and the rest of the spread among fighting with other academies or the elders and deans that were in the spot.
Ling Tian has followed Sam's journey until now, he has seen him pull off many miraculous things.
Every ti Sam always focused on getting as much information as possible and dealt with his opponents. He used weak links, the arrogant youngsters, the stuck up elders, the people with dirty secrets. He exploited them until he destroyed them.
But this is the first ti, Sam put so much information to use.
Academy realm was always known as the place with all the elites gathered and these elites all had one major thing in common. Everyone had too many secrets and with such a wide range of people and ambitions, there has always been hidden conflicts.
All Sam did it, increase the conflicts and bring them out to the open.
Without actually showing his direct involvent, he is making the academy realm collapse, bit by bit.
