Chapter 353: Armans actions
As soon as the manager finished speaking, a call came to Philip. It is from Watt.
"Come to the Train station, somebody seemed to have messed with the Rail tracks and the train is coming within an hour. I am going there."
He turned off the call without even giving Philip a chance to reply.
Arc also followed Philip. They handed over the manager to someone to keep watch over and left to check the situation in the train station.
By the time they reached there, Watt and Jack are already present.
A large portion of the tracks is destroyed. It covered the whole portion, upon which the train slows down.
Philip walked towards Watt and asked.
"What is the situation?"
"We informed the Loco-pilot who is responsible for driving the train and we also diverted the tracks. Although this problem is currently solved, we cannot do this in a long run. We have to clear the damaged tracks and lay down news ones as soon as we can so that we don’t have deal with the delays and keep on adjusting the tracks."
As they were speaking, the workers who are responsible for track maintenance already made their way to clear the damaged tracks and even started the process of constructing the new set.
While they are looking into the situation, they found someone unconscious in a corner of the station, he is the one who is supposed to monitoring the tracks.
He was knocked unconscious, there is a gaping wound on his neck.
He was sent to the healer and they are waiting for the answers while Watt moved to the tower to look into the surveillance.
Philip and Jack are still investigating the situation at the station when they got another call. This time it is from Mackey.
"Someone is breaking the formations outside the restaurants and a girl is confronting him. I think you talked to that girl previously. So, I thought you might want to come here and check the situation."
Philip and Jack left the place leaving the matter at hand to Arc.
Within a few minutes, they are near Mackey’s restaurant.
There Sirona has her Sabre puppet out as she battled Arman who is standing with that semi-transparent Blue colored blade in his hands.
Both seem to be in an intense confrontation.
Sirona is on a complete offensive and Arman is constantly dodging.
At this moment, Philip and Jack simultaneously got calls, one of them from Watt and another from Arc.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via noovelllbbin
Both of them got results. The one who messed with tracks is actually Arman.
Arman who noticed Philip and Jack’s arrival immediately turned his tail and ran towards Sam’s city.
He doesn’t want to confront them at this moment.
Philip didn’t follow, he simply took out another communication token and gave instructions.
"I want to meet Sam."
"It is not even a month since we met and I said it would take more than a month for him to meet anyone. He is not in a position to meet anyone at this moment."
"But you announced that Sam gave a statement on catching Arman."
"I just made that up, to calm the citizens down."
Sirona seemed extremely confused. But Philip didn’t give a chance for her to reply and continued saying.
"I know what you are going to say. Why would I need to make that up for the citizens to calm down right?"
Sirona nodded. Philip facepalmed himself and said.
"Because this is Sam’s city and any statement which was given by Sam has that much weight. It was just like how your Sect head’s words work in the Sect."
"But Sect head is the strongest of all, Sam is not the strongest here, right? Why would they heed his words?"
Philip took a deep breath to calm down and said.
"My dear cousin Sirona, sometimes strength doesn’t just equal battle prowess. Even though Sam’s cultivation is not the highest in the city, he has proved that he can still kill them all the same if he wants to.
Apart from that, half of the citizens who are the workers of the city respect him, because he made their lives better.
How can you not understand this? What has the Usaine sect been teaching you all these years? You can’t even grasp these basic things."
"Oh, they taught me a lot of other things like Artisanship, Puppet making, Formation...."
"Stop."
As she was about to go on, Philip interrupted her.
"I now understand how you became like this, you probably never had a proper conversation with anyone. Damn that shitty Sect head. He really is good at ruining people’s lives."
The conversation ended there and Sirona suddenly asked once again.
"Are you lying about Sam being unable to meet anyone? Is it not wrong for you to use his name without his permission?"
"Damn it." Philip almost wanted to hurl curses. If not for the fact, he vaguely understood her living conditions back in the sect, he would have done so.
He thought for a moment and made a call to Watt and Jack.
"You guys, come to Sam’s room in the tower. I am bringing someone there to show Sam."
He led Sirona to the tower and they went to Sam’s room.
As soon as they entered Sirona was shocked to see Sam’s situation. She thought he was just injured and didn’t want to meet any outsiders until he is healed, she never thought he was in a coma.
By now, the Black patches dimmed greatly and even the wounds of Sam’s chest are completely closed. The whole body is actually showing some normal signs.
