The next week went without much activity.
Sam spent most of the time in research and didn't bother with his friends, they are getting more and more nervous about the situation and didn't know how to break the ice.
They would have been more at ease if Sam yelled at them or even beat the crap out of them. But here he is making their lives a living hell without even doing anything.
This is completely new for them.
After the week, the promotion really did come. There is still a week before the elections start and now Sam decided to leave before the election is over.
He knew that both the factions are currently not keen on him and once they are done with elections they would try to make his life unpleasant.
But these people of both factions in the town don't have that much authority in a larger scale.
