Sam thought for a bit and tried to think of an appropriate name, after some thought, he still doesn't know what would be appropriate for a hydra which might possibly become a variant in future.

After some consideration, Sam decided to name it Mia. Not because he thought it is appropriate, but he came to a conclusion because he knew that he would never be able to decide whether any name would be appropriate or not.

And to justify himself Sam said. "As Shakespeare said, what is there in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet and no matter what you are named you will still be the strongest hydra who stays forever by my said. So, your name is Mia."

Sam patted the heads of her as he said this. Mia seemed to be happy as it snuggled even more comfortably.

Even though, Sam liked this he has another problem at hand now and that is to improve the hydra quickly.

Many people might think that the off-spring of the immortal beasts will be of higher-level, but they only have a greater potential, other than that they also start as the Level 0 beasts.

But that is the problem. Sam is already at the Late stage Novice, If he needs to make a contract with Mia when he reaches the Great realm, he would have to wait till it grows to the peak of the Level 3.

There is actually a way to make a contract even if the beast was of lower level, this also helps Mia to grow faster. The growth rate will be incredibly fast due to sharing the spiritual energy of his and the remaining beasts.

But the problem with this method is, with his current power level, if he doesn't control the contract well, when he is connected to the beast of lower level, the beast might have side effects.

Even after the contract is successful, he would have to be extremely carefully control sharing the spiritual energy so that Mia could digest it properly, if there are any mishaps, the consequences will be dire.

So, he didn't dare do that.

Then he thought of the pool of Hydra's blood.

He is still thinking why the Hydra left the pool of blood. From the formation, it would have been converted into energy just like the hydra's flesh if the beast itself, doesn't forcefully expel the blood from the body.

Sam carried Mia to the pool of the hydra blood.

When he entered the formation with the breathing device, he saw the Executioner sword in the middle of the pool.

It was placed there with the skeleton as support.

Sam observed some changes in the sword, even though he didn't examine it up close, he can still see that the Blood iron seemed to improve in its grade.

He still didn't take it out, there is still a lot of room for improvement for it within the pool.

At this moment, he sensed a little unrest in his hands and when he looked down at Mia, she is looked at the pool with all her heads still and all eyes focusing on the pool.

She seemed to sense some familiarity.

Sam slowly placed her down and she slowly walked towards the edge of the pool.

She curiously placed his front limbs inside the pool.

Her eyes brightened immediately and swiftly jumped into the pool. Sam was anxious for a second, and only after he saw Mia popping her heads out, did he relax.

Mia swam around the pool slowly, after sometime it became more familiar and started swimming.

Sam sensed that something is happening to Mia and he started using his observation ability.

He could sense that spiritual energy from the blood is being transformed to Mia as later absorbed it quickly and from the look of things she didn't even know that she is absorbing.

Sam came out of the pool and asked Yanwu on the situation.

"Well, actually beasts of our level grow rapidly. I was deliberately left with Level 1 cultivation in order to assist you. Otherwise all the beasts grow in the infant stage by absorbing the spiritual energy from their mother.

Now, Mia should also be doing that."

Sam wasn't surprised as he already thought this might be the case, he even has some doubts on Yanwu's cultivation, but he refrained himself from asking. Now he knew that Yanwu was deliberately supressed, Sam is confused.

The questions in his mind about Ling Tian and his actions of giving these many privileges is already confusing. Now that he knew that the Ling Tian forbade a Mythical beast for fifteen years to not to improve was something even more confusing. Why go to that extent to support a person?

All he need is only on answer. Purpose. What is the purpose of all this?

Even if he is beaten to death, he wouldn't believe that Ling Tian is doing this to really give him a chance to reach his potential. There is something brewing behind the scenes, which he was completely oblivious about.

Sam checked up on Mia again and left the dimension.

He needs to think of the future plans.

Even though, his business is going quite well, he has to move out of this city soon and he has to think on how to expand in the future.

Once, he enters the Dukedom capital, he has to have some more products that only he can manufacture.

As the economy is greater there, he can make use of it and milk them dry as much as he can and earn his pockets full.

After all, his companions are growing and he needs to find a way to feed them all.

Even though, he is making plans to make a farm, he needs to find a way until the farm is grown to a considerable size.

Until then, all he has to do is throw his money to buy the food. And the money is one thing he didn't lack for now and he has to make sure that it stays that way even in the distant future.

Before think about the future plan, Sam went to his restaurant. He gave Mackey some instructions and after sometime, a waiter went out and placed a board on the street.

"All types of beasts, carcasses, flesh, innards will be bought here. No matter how much damaged the beast is, you can come here and we will buy."

When onlookers read the board, they were surprised.

The damaged beast meat and carcasses are generally avoided and are really hard to sell, so the hunters will just eat them when they are still in the wild or they would abandon them directly.

"Why are you looking for damaged beasts, don't tell me you guys are going to place them in your menu."

A customer asked. Then the rest of the customers also became doubtful.

Waiter shook his head and said.

"This restaurant is owned by a Rank 5 Artisan; it would be a damage to his honour if we sell damaged beast meat. The meat is for culinary practice of new chefs. We can't use the intact and best parts for their regular practice, right?"

This is the excuse Mackey thought of to avoid raising negative opinions.

But from Sam's instructions, they still have to train a batch of new chefs from his team. He didn't get the reason why, but he only has to follow the orders.

After solving the food problem of the new batch of the locust, Sam went on a stroll in the Business zone.

He walked towards the entertainment street where most of the businesses were under the Stone heart family.

When he was near a gambling house, Sam saw three people walking out from it.

The two people who seemed to be in his subordinates are walking behind him. The man in the centre who seemed to be nearing his late twenties was walking with hands behind his back.

His face was serene and peaceful, but Sam could sense the aura around him was a bit different. He looked peaceful but from Sam's perspective and instinct it seemed more like emotionlessness rather than the peace.

He seemed detached as if he doesn't belong in the place and everything around him is completely disregarded.

The disregard is not like how Sam expressed. Sam's disregard to anything will happen only if he deems the thing unworthy of his attention.

But this person's disregard feels like, he shouldn't be regarding anything, as if he shouldn't place his attention on everything. It seemed a little forced.

Sam observed all these things in one glance, this is his experience in meeting all kinds of people.

Sam read about many things in his past life to learn as much as he can. The more difficult the topic is to understand, the more effort he gave and the more proficient he became and out of all things he read, the most things are People.

Their emotions, their expressions everything is too difficult to comprehend that we don't even know whether their expressions and words are really what they wanted to express.

Some people are two faced, some three faced, some people with many faces that one couldn't count.

Sam was most afraid of these types of people and to overcome this, he learnt how to read people.

So, if he can catch a person in his most normal state, he can deduce a lot of information. And from the info he got from this person, he deduced his identity.

Young master Stone-heart.
