Similarly, Crow and Dove started negotiating the terms to release the remaining captives.
As for why Sam was there in the first place, it was for the last two captives. The two who has the highest value among all the captives. They are not just the members of the Noble league, but they are also directly related to the Elders of the Zeus Academy.
They are also the strongest, on the verge of breaking through to the Pre-transcendence of Divine Plane.
They are way too expensive for the Zeus Academy to lose. The loss of students aside, the political ramifications are too hard even for them to face. However, Christos was a bit relaxed. Because even though the negotiations were a bit hard and they paid a lot, it was still within his expectations.
The payment for any ransom didn't exceed the limits he had set before.
With this precedence he was sure that he will be able to release the remaining two people as well.
And that is where Sam came in.
