Chapter 326

Samuel entered and quickly saw the terrain within.

It was a small place, but its infrastructure was incredible. There were rows of large mansions across either side towering dozens of metres high.

The garden in front trailed down to large rows of housing. Samuels keen eyesight noticed dozens of families and people managing small vegetable gardens.

''Who are they?''

Samuel held a bruised man in his arm.

''They are our children! Sometimes we bring some children here for special practice.''

The man muttered. He is a man in his early 500's! Since when has he been treated like this?

''Kill them all.''

Samuel didn't even hesitate. The Rank 2 Warriors behind him immediately nodded.

''No! No!''

The bruised man immediately screamed in dismay. These are all his grandchildren!

But that wouldn't stop Samuel. Instantly the almost emotionless IronBlood Warriors pulled out their swords, slicing the throat of their neck. Preventing the blood from ruining the structure.

Samuel continued to walk forward. And finally he found a group of colossal buildings. They were actually comparable to the smallest buildings within his Family HeadQuarters!

But even this is close to hundreds of metres tall, scraping the sky!

However what caught Samuels eye is the small engravings on the walls. He felt a clear increase in Spiritual Energy pouring into the house.

''Spirit Gathering Array?''

Samuel was shocked. Instantly his body vanished and reappeared beside the engraving on the wall. His hand passed across it.

''Incredible! I didn't expect the HiveTriad to have such large handwriting for some ancestors!''

Of course Samuel doesn't believe that they arranged these themselves. According to the man he captured, Elder Munts was a Formation Expert, but he barely stepped into the level.

Formation Experts and other professions follow the same rankings as Warriors.

Situ is only a Rank 1 Formation Expert. Even his incredible talent didn't let him progress rapidly.

Elder Munts practised for close to 2,000 years and was recruited by the HiveTriad for an incredible sum of money when they first formed.

But even he is barely a qualified Rank 2 Formation Master!

The pattern tends to go like this. A Rank 1 Formation Master can construct Rank 1 Formations freely and they can operate Rank 2 Formations efficiently enough.

Even Rank 3 Formations can be slightly used, although very inefficiently it's better than nothing.

So Elder Munts was more than qualified to operate the Rank 3 Formation that protected the HiveTriad but he definitely couldn't produce it.

And Spirit Gather Arrays, they are the hardest of all arrays to produce. Even Array Masters one rank above the Spirit Gathering Array can't produce them.

It interferes with the pattern of an entire plane's spiritual Energy. And requires incredible skill and talent to produce.

Situ can produce them, and Samuel originally wanted him to produce them in the rooms within the Compound and on the Planes.

But then he realised the cost! Just a Rank 1 Spirit Gathering Array costs a hundred thousand Spiritual Crystals!

Although Samuel has quite a lot of savings now, he is far from being so lavish.

A Rank 1 Spirit Gathering Array can only be used by one person!

''I want 1,000 Soldiers outside each of these mansions at all times. If a single bit of damage is found then its all your heads.''

Samuel looked towards a captain in the IronBlood Legion and ordered with a stern face.

Samuel pushed open the large door to the largest mansion. Inside was a brilliantly designed home like a palace. A giant crystal chandelier sparkled on the roof as large statues depicting the same man in multiple purposes lined the corridors.

''What a vain old man.''

Samuel looked at the statues slightly mockingly as he continued walking past busy rooms filled with scantily clad maids or beautiful women.

Behind him a group of soldiers would walk into each occupied room, followed by a faint squelching.

Samuel slowly walked forward before arriving at a large corridor leading downwards.

Quickly Samuel reached a large vault like entrance. His hands stretched out and a bloody palm appeared in his fingers. He placed them on the vault and a clunking sound rang out.

The vault entrance span opened wide.

''Huh?''

Samuel walked in curiously. It wasn't the vault full of treasures that he previously estimated.

A shallow skinned body was sat cross legged in the centre of the room.

''Is this the first HiveTriad Head?''

Samuel had read about it before. The first Head of the HiveTriad was a High Rank 3 Warrior, a certified Powerhouse.

Based on Rumours Samuel heard, the first head was a mercenary for over three thousand years!

He had deep connections and was extremely rich and wealthy. But the influence of one person is limited. So he created his first Organisation.

Yes that's right, his first. Apparently it lasted over a thousand years! A decent lifespan in comparison to most organisations. However there was a downside.

Mercenaries, although profitable, is a highly risky business. If you want to make money you not only need allies but you're guaranteed to make money.

Apparently one of the people the first Head robbed for an opportunity broke through to Rank 4. He didn't even need to take action himself, but multiple High Rank 3 Warriors that wanted to suck up to him took out his first Organisation.

But the man escaped with a few trusted elders and formed the new HiveTriad organisation.

''What an incredible life.''

The ability to create two flourishing Organisations was quite impressive. If it wasn't for him accidentally offending someone it is likely his organisation would be in charge of a city by now at least!

But now he has been reduced to being dying in the basement of his organisation. But Samuel could feel a faintly terrifying aura radiating off of his body.
