After the meeting is ended, Sam walked out of the academy and started walking towards his mansion. But he some people stopped him on his way and the person in the lead happened to be Eisen.

Sam didn’t speak and just looked at Eisen with a cold gaze as he raised an eyebrow as if questioning him of the purpose. For some reason Eisen got irritated looking at Sam’s nonchalance and said in an arrogant tone.

"You better withdraw from the team." He just made a statement as if he was ordering his subordinate as he looked down with his height two inches taller than Sam. There are two people behind Eisen and one of them is part of the team and another one who seemed to resemble Eisen a bit, looked at Sam with a gloating smile.

Sam didn’t reply anything and just walked around the group staying completely silent.

"Wait."

"Sam."

Two shouts came at same time and one of them is Eisen and another one is surprisingly Jack who is running towards them. When Sam looked at Jack and didn’t even bother with Eisen, he became angry. Because, he felt that his pride got hurt. He is the champion for the assessment and senior in the Academy and most of all his cultivation level is higher. So, a junior and one without any test is really a thorn in his eyes.

"Let’s speak in the mansion." Sam said to Jack as the latter nodded and both of them started walking.

Seeing the blatant disregard from both of them made Eisen grit his teeth in rage. "Sam, do you think you are a bigshot. I am also an inscription master and a Formation master and my father is the head of the Formation tower. Even if you have more titles than me, then what of it? I heard that you don’t even have a teacher and you are self-taught. How far do you think you can go? You better stop being arrogant and ne humble. In front of me you are nothing." He said as he released his aura of a Novice stage.

Sam didn’t even bother with his words and just kept on walking, but Jack stopped in his tracks and looked at Eisen with a cold glare full of hostility. So, he also had to stop and turned around and patted Jack on shoulder.

"I don’t have time to sniff every piece of shit that is on my way. We can just walk around and ignore it." He said and pulled Jack along as he started walking.

Eisen and the two people behind him immediately had ugly expressions and Eisen had it worst as he saw people looking at him in weird way. He was about blow up, but then he remembered that, he is near the Academy and the heart of the city. So, he forced himself to calm down and gave Sam’s retreating back a hateful glare before leaving the place.

After some time. At Sam’s Mansion.

Both Sam and Jack were sitting across each other in the living room. Sam has same nonchalant expression on his face, but the coldness toned down a little. Jack seemed to be hesitating about something.

"Are you going to speak or not?" Sam asked as he looked at Jack.

"I need a favour." Jack said slowly. An expression of unwillingness on his face.

Sam didn’t speak and just gave a questioning look and maintained his silence. Looking at him, Jack just took a deep breath and continued.

"I know you don’t like doing favours, but I don’t have any other choice. Do you have any way to take Shawn along with us to Falcon cliff city?"

"He didn’t pass the test. Why did you want him to come?" Sam asked.

"it has something to do with Eisen. Before the final round of the examination, he and his two underlings jumped on me and Shawn to get the spots. But their plan partially failed and I was able to make it safe, but Shawn wasn’t that lucky as he got took the first attack in full force. He wasn’t even able to participate in the final round." Jack explained.

"So, Eisen is telling me to back off because he wants another spot and he thinks I am an easy target, since I don’t have any background?" Sam muttered to himself. Then he spoke to Jack.

"Even if I can get Sam to join us in journey, how is it going to help? He can’t join the team, right?" Sam asked in reply.

"Accidents happen." Jack replied with a cold tone.

"Sure, just bring him along with you." Sam smiled and agreed. Jack immediately became relieved and left after he thanked him.

Sam just walked to the rooms and started making the preparations to leave the city. He collected all his design scrolls, his tailoring tools and some small forging equipment. He asked Philip that to search for a buyer for the Mansion and to his surprise, the Evergreen family itself bought the mansion for half the price he bought it in the auction.

Right now, he has a total of 825000 spirit stones he earned from the auction and he has a 2000 fire element spirit stones still left after his, Yanwu’s and Panthers’ consumption. Along with the 15000 spirit stones he got from selling the mansion and the 100000 spirit stones he got from the deal with the Principal, his total net worth is 850000 spirit stones approximately which made him feel a little satisfied. This habit of being satisfied of the money he earned himself is from his past life. Even though, Sam is famous for his intelligence and abilities the most, the other trait that most people knew about him is his extravagance. He liked spending money and making money, he has a lot of materialistic needs and reckless spending made all the second-generation heirs burn with jealousy. He doesn’t know exactly why he got this habit, but he knew that that had something to do with his childhood poverty. Even after rebirth, Sam still has same materialistic love and he didn’t have any thoughts of getting rid of it.

The day of the departure finally came and Sam left the mansion early in the morning and started walking to the Academy gate. When he reached, there are already some people waiting there. There is big carriage made of the top-grade quality Starwood and some other rank 1 metals. The Carriage is completely black in colour and it looked mostly like a modern-day caravan of celebrities and in fact Sam actually designed it to be such. It has every thing that a caravan should have except the engine and the driver compartment which gave him an extended space. At the front of the Caravan are two Blazing earth bulls attached just like how the horses would be.

Sam ignored the people that are waiting walked towards the two bulls and patted their heads, for which they rubbed their heads in a docile manner against his palm. The other people who are appreciating the large carriage with interest are stunned when they saw the scene. Sam owning these two beasts is not a matter which is known by many people, so when the other students saw this, they were stunned. After all beast taming is not a common or easy thing to do.

Sam didn’t care anything and just examined the bulls. They grew, not only in size but also in their level. Before he came to this city, they were at Middle-stage of level 2 and now they are late stage of level 2. He wondered how the Evergreen family took care of them.

Sam then looked at the other students, who are chatting. There are three people here and two of them are the people who are part of the team and other person seemed to be their person. The extra person is a boy who wore a Starwood academy uniform. The two team members are a boy and a girl, who is the fourth and last girl other than Kelly, Freya and Haley. They are giving Sam some side glances as they whispered among themselves. Soon, people started arriving. Philip, Freya, Haley came together and greeted Sam and Kelly arrived a bit later and she greeted him in low voice and started chatting with them. Of course, except with Sam. She is still a bit afraid.

After a few moments Jack came along with Shawn.

"Sam, thank you so much." Shawn spoke as soon as he appeared. His face is still a bit pale an obvious sign of him recovering from his injuries. Sam just smiled at without giving any response.

"What is this about?" Freya being Freya asked directly while the rest of their group are becoming a little curious. After all, one of the top rankers in the entrance examination, Shawn is somewhat familiar to them and they knew that he had some partnership with Sam at the entrance examination. They were first surprised that Shawn was unable to make the team and now him thanking Sam directly out of blue is making them curious.

"Nothing much, Sam said that I can come with you guys to the Falcon cliff city. Even though, I don’t might not have a chance to participate in the tournament. I can cheer you guys and broaden my horizons." Shawn said with his signature grin.

"Who said you can tag along? Did you ask for my permission at all?" Suddenly a voice interrupted him from behind attracting the group’s attention and they saw Eisen along with the two people that stopped Sam yesterday.

"I am the team leader. Did you ask my permission to bring someone?" Eisen asked directly walking towards Sam with an arrogant gaze. He is eighteen years old and he is naturally a bit taller than Sam, so he wanted to intimidate him with his stature and his cultivation. But all he got in response was a nonchalant expression.

Nobody reacted to his statement and everyone seemed to deliberately ignoring him in Sam’s group and they are just carrying with their chat as if he was not there at all. Situation suddenly became awkward for him and his face turned red with embarrassment and anger and just as he was about to blow his top...

"Seems that everyone is here." Principal’s voice came and along with Principal another person also followed him which surprised everyone and that person is none other than the City lord of the Starwood city. Everyone started to bow and greet him.

"Greetings. City lord."

"Greetings. City lord."

"Greetings. City lord."

"Greetings. City lord."

But there is always an exception and that is Sam didn’t even take a second look at him.

He didn’t bother with them at all and just walked towards the carriage door which is in the middle and opened the door. Seeing this everyone thought, he is going to open it for city lord. But they couldn’t be more wrong as Sam directly walked in after he opened the door, leaving them stupefied. Before, they could come out of their stupor, they saw Sam protruding his head out side and saying.

"Philip, Jack, Shawn, ladies come on board, what are you even waiting for?" He asked as if there are no other people here.

Principal looked at Sam and cursed inside his heart. Sam looked at him and gave a provocative smirk. ’You wanted to get a free ride and do you think I will just be okay with fleecing you with some money. I will make you grind your teeth to dust in embarrassment.’ Sam thought as he made his way inside.

City lord also stood there awkwardly in silence. He understood Sam’s cold treatment. Who can he blame for that? Rest of the team mates are all surprised not knowing how to react, then suddenly a voice interrupted their thoughts.

"SAM, YOU IMBECILE. HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT THE CITY LORD AND PRINCIPAL? GET DOWN THIS INSTANT AND APOLOGIZE." Eisen roared in rage as he stormed towards the carriage door.
