Intervention
After Sam sent that message, all the players halted their actions for a moment.
They all became a bit wary and didn't dare to make their moves immediately. The last eighty-four are obviously strong candidates. They are already a bit cautious about fighting with them. They also knew that Sam is trying to make their life a bit difficult based on what happened the previous day.
What scared them, even more, is that Sam knew all of their locations.
This also implied that Sam has a way to track their movements. So, they are not sure if they should go ahead and take his tip to take these targets while knowing that he could catch them
They don't know what Sam is going to do with this knowledge of their locations and movements.
They got a bit scared and that is exactly what Sam wanted.
He wanted to see who will make the first move and if no one did and they just waited, the better it is for him.
