Sam felt like he was forced to carry a mountain.

His shoulder crouched a little and there is a ton of pressure on his soul. He felt suffocated, but he didn't bow down at all. He still forced his back to stay straight.

By this time, some blood started seeping out of a corner of his mouth.

Even under that pressure Sam started talking.

"Petty tricks. How do you feel, Old man? With an age around two centuries and cultivation many levels higher than me, how good do you feel to pressure a youngster with such lower cultivation?"

The face of the old man turned red, in both embarrassment and in anger.

"Since you know your cultivation and worth, be obedient." The Old man snorted to hide his embarrassment.

Sam smirked at this and all of a sudden, he extended his hand under such immense pressure. His hand was covered with dark elemental energy as he gripped something in the air.

"AHhhhh." A ghostly wail could be heard in the room as the dark elemental energy in Sam's hands made something visible.

The old man who is pressuring Sam had a look of surprise on his face and the pressure was lifted in his shock.

Sam looked at the spirit which was struggling in his hands and looked at the people in the room.

"You probably have balls of steel to enchant my coat right in front of me. That too, you stooped to the point where you have to divert me using the pressure."

With that, Sam crushed the spirit and a middle-aged man who is hiding in the dark corner spat a mouthful of blood.

Sam looked at the old men and his face turned colder.

He made eye-contact with the thunder god temple head and said.

"Thunder god temple, doesn't seem to care about their disciples."

The temple head and the grand elder were puzzled at this. They knew that Sam is not talking about himself, he never viewed himself as the disciple of the thunder god temple.

Their thoughts ran towards Arman, but they quickly abandoned it, because Arman is only one disciple no matter what and he is not even the candidate for being the next head. All they would lose is a genius. They didn't think that Sam is stupid enough to use him as a bargaining chip with his intelligence.

After a deep thought, the temple head had a solemn expression at the conclusion he came to.

Sam's smirk felt a lot colder at this moment as even his voice became colder and colder by the moment.

"I placed a trap that could kill more than half of the beast faction nine months before I could visit it. And you seemed to have forgotten where I stayed those nine months."

The thunder god temple clenched his fist so hard that the arm rest had cracks on it. All the other old men also felt shocked. Only Sai is shaking his head. He felt that the whole fiasco is unnecessary. They could just talk it out. But his peers are making so that Sam would extreme methods and if this conversation continued down the same way, he would actually do so.

The thunder god temple head, kept his composure, but the grand elder didn't.

"Sam, how dare you plot against the thunder god temple, which groomed you?"

"Pfft." Sam laughed sarcastically. He looked at the grand elder and said.

"Do you even believe what you are saying? Groomed me? Your thunder god temple would have visited hell and back to have a person like me in their ranks. Don't try to put yourselves on a high pedestal to make move and justify it.

If you want to make a move, just stop being pretentious and make a move.

But I shall warn you. If you couldn't kill me in your first blow, you wouldn't have a chance to land a second blow."

He then looked at the remaining old men and said.

"You seemed to have been on the high horse for far too long and got used to having everything your way. But remember my face and name and etch it in your hearts that I am the bane of your natural order.

You ten people don't intimidate me, because with my power it is no difference if you are one or ten, the difference is too huge either way.

I can still escape and I can still start over from the scratch and even before I reach your level, I can still kill you with my own hands."

At this moment, another old man is trying to increase pressure on Sam, but Sam's next words halted his actions.

"One more attempt to show your pathetic display of superiority, I will take half the lives in thunder god temple as I leave this place. If you think I am bluffing, try me."

The Old man stopped immediately.

Even though, the thunder god temple and the lives of its disciples have nothing to do with him, he doesn't dare to be the cause of their deaths.

All the Old men toned down their auras and became more docile.

Sam straightened his back and said.

"That's more like it. I am here to talk about business and we will be talking business.

I need the first batch of my materials within a week. I will be paying the first instalment of products and money at the same time.

I am a fair business man, so here is the list of the products, samples and the number of them I
