For one month, Sam disappeared completely from the limelight. His presence was completely lost. But nobody forgot about him.
The more time he took and the more he stayed silent, the more panic they caused. The Emperor Orion was also on tenterhooks.
He was taught a lesson with what Sam had done in the southwestern star.
He didn't take him seriously before but now that he lost main resources of the two dukedoms, he is having a hard time thinking what is Sam up to.
The metal mines are the worst problem of all.
Because, the impact crystal Sam threw in is all of the impact crystal he got from the estate and even more. If they really did melt all of it with high level heat, the spiritual stone mine can be saved but the metal mines would be in deep shit. And even that they would need months before they can do so.
It is not possible to do that without any harm.
