The next day, Sam continued with this new routine. He went to beat the crap out of Arman and this time, he didn’t have to order people to watch, because there are already workers who are not in the shift to watch the fight.
This what Sam wanted to achieve and it did work out well.
Arman took the beating with his clenched fists and jaws. There are some changes in his expression.
Sam guessed that he wanted to endure it for a while until he had a breakthrough. But that is not what he wanted, so he did something else.
He installed a small surveillance system in the arena so that Arman could see and hear somethings and those screens followed the activities of the workers who came to watch the show that day.
With such a great fiasco happening early in the morning, it would be weird if they don’t talk about it for the rest of the day.
Arman who is trying so hard to build his will and determination crumbled again. But the effect is not as bad as Sam though. So, he did something and realized the weapon spirit in Arman’s hands is the reason for that.
It is trying to encourage Arman and keeping his mind sane.
Sam started thinking about what to do with that weapon and how to deal with it.
As he was thinking and was about to go back into the divine dimension, he got the news that the officials from the Space gate association came back.
He was surprised that they came this early, even though Zeke said he would be back in three days, he didn’t expect him to really come back in three days. After all, this is a big decision. He expected some reluctance as they would be going against the rules of the six major powers.
It is a bit reckless to take that decision this fast. But this also gave him some other knowledge on how much these major powers are suppressing them.
They seemed to have been pushed into a corner.
Sam went to the meeting room; there an old man is sitting beside Zeke.
When Sam came, both of them stood up. This surprised Sam a little.
He did expect some seniors to come this time, but he thought they would come to pressurize, bargain, or even try to suppress Sam.
Sam shook hands with both of them and sat down in front of them.
"Sam; I don’t know where you got these techniques and blueprints from. I don’t even want to know. But I do want to know something. Why are you doing this? You do know that you are going against the major powers with this.
You have an established city here, you are rich, stable, and even have great potential. Why risk everything by helping us?"
Old man directly came to the point.
Sam chuckled and asked.
"May I know your name?"
"I am Stephen."
"Mr. Stephen. Why did you even think that I am helping you guys? I am helping myself. To be completely honest, the Space gate association doesn’t have anything except the Space gates and intercontinental communication devices and at this moment, they even lost the backing of the six major powers.
I am pretty sure, that it would take a few more months if not years, for the association to gain the trust of the major powers.
To put it bluntly, you are at your most vulnerable state, you are in extreme demand for safety and stability.
I saw an opportunity there. I need Space gates and you need these arts. That’s it."
Sam didn’t even bother to hide his thoughts, because he truly understood what these complacent major powers would do.
They don’t know what they are doing and what kind of damage they are causing to these people.
In fact, the damage is to themselves, the Space element users are not just rare, they have many inherent advantages, if Sam really had to suppress them, he would rather bind them with some kind of contract, brainwashing, slave contracts, or any other way. But he would not stop nurturing them.
He would make them his loyal soldiers no matter what, but these major powers are stupid enough to push them to the corner.
Stephen looked at Sam and went into deep thought for a while.
He didn’t expect Sam to be straightforward. But he is glad that Sam is like this. If Sam had taken the chance and said that he is helping because of something this and that and pulled all the hypocritical bullshit, he would have been disappointed.
He took a deep breath and started speaking.
"Is there any way to get all those techniques?"
"At this moment, No."
"What does it take?"
"Not for the time being. I cannot afford to give them to you, no matter the price."
"Why?"
"I am just a twenty-year-old Grand realm cultivator. You might have heard how I killed Old One. But there is something you are forgetting. I cannot handle too much pressure from my current state. As you said, I cannot risk what I have.
If I sell so much to you, it is difficult to cover up. If the major powers trace it back to me, I will have a hard time keeping everything safe."
Stephen didn’t reply, he doesn’t know what to say about that. Simply, put there is no trust between both parties.
Sam doesn’t have enough reasons to trust the Space gate association to sell these things to them and Stephen didn’t see anything wrong with that.
After some thought, Stephen said.
"Okay, we will take the first two techniques and the third blueprint. We will give you all the Space gates for one-third of the price. We do have a new type of Space gate network, it is not suitable for the rest of the major powers, because they have too few places to move in between.
If you want to give it a try, we can explain it to you."
Taking the cue, Zeke took out some scrolls and started explaining to Sam about the Space gate network.
Sam is actually impressed.
This is a complex transportation network.
The network itself is complex to make, but it is actually based on an easy concept.
In this network, if Sam wants to have the network in six places, each place will have on Space gate and they can use this one Space gate to visit the rest of the five space gates as they wished.
It is more efficient, he doesn’t need six space gates in the city to visit six different empires, he can actually use a single gate to visit all the places.
Apart from that, a single space gate is easier to hide than multiple gates.
But it does have its disadvantages. It is a bit expensive.
And it is not a suitable network to use when connecting a few places. Any major power that only has four to five empires, wouldn’t want to spend such money and they don’t need these empires to stay connected. They can make do with a normal Space gate.
But Sam wanted a connection with all the empires. There are around thirty empires, on this planet under all the major powers.
For that, this network will be more useful and it is a bit more economical. Anyway, Sam could use this connection between empires for good use.
He can transport materials which are beyond one empire and sell them there, he can even transport people and make a business out of it.
If push comes to shove, he would open a refugee escaping platform, where people who wanted to seek refugee from the authorities can escape to other empires.
He can make a fortune and earn back whatever he spent on these Space gates.
So, from now on the discussion is all about how Sam wants this network and how they should proceed further.
Meanwhile, the major powers are in another meeting.
The one who conducted the meeting is the three major professional associations.
The Formation association head took the lead and stood up.
"Today we are here to discuss something very important. This could bring economic order and the money and material circulation in the collapsed empires back on to the track."
"What would that plan be?"
One of the six asked.
"The Park."
Everyone looked at him with a disdainful expression. They knew exactly where this idea came from, even they have thoughts to copy that, but they are not shameless enough to take the lead and even conduct a meeting like this.
Formation head cleared his throat and said.
"I know what you guys are thinking, but I have something to tell you. We were able to obtain the core formation blueprints for the construction of the park and along with that we also have blueprints of the inscriptions and formations that are used within the park.
We even have the architectural blueprint of the whole park and can proceed to construct an exact replica and even an improved version of a Park that is already running in the western continent."
