Chapter 144: Deal (1/2)

General Spark clearly understood that Luther was indeed tied up with Black water and didn't probe any further. But he still has a lot to talk about Sam.

”Why did you let a brat walk over my grandson?” He asked seriously.

Marquis didn't know what to say to his father-in-law. Because, he didn't treat the latter like that.

Their relationship is more like a transaction. As for General Spark's relationship with his daughters and Grandsons, he spoiled them because of an immense the guilt he has to carry.

His daughters paid a huge price which cannot be compensated due to him, so all he could do is make it up by spoiling them.

A few days back, his first daughter contacted him through the Marquis and Duke communication system, which is also accessible to her due to his spoiling attitude and complained about how her son was being toyed around by a Rank 5 Scholar Artisan who is only sixteen years old.

He is angry at his Son-in-law about this, but he cannot do much about it.

Even though, he asked why he is letting him do that, he knew better than anyone what his answer is. After all, a scholar artisan that too Rank 5 at age sixteen is not an ordinary person and it is not easy to control him.

Marquis took a deep breath and said.

”General Spark, I don't know what your daughter told you, but there is one thing I have to say to you. I don't want to handle anymore unnecessary enemies. You know better than anyone what would happen if we push someone to their limits.

Your daughters are living examples. I just hope that you won't do the same foolish mistake again.”

General Spark immediately got angry at Marquis' words. Even if it was true, he didn't want to hear it since it is one of the dirtiest pasts of his.

He snorted and said. ”Are you saying, that I have to take your advice and cannot mess with a brat? Remember, even if we have a transaction it is not your time to advise me. As for that brat, I spent more time being a Nascent stage cultivator than his age. I don't have to care about that.”

Marquis didn't say anything and just stayed silent. Of course, he understood that Nascent stage is powerful, but that old man of Black water is also a Nascent stage, even if he is early stage one, from the point of you a Novice stage cultivator, it doesn't matter.

Both the early stage Nascent and the Middle stage Nascent, both of them are same for a Novice, they both can kill him in a second.

But what happened to that Old man.

Marquis has only one thought in his mind.

'You are a Nascent, Great. But it is not like Sam hasn't killed one before.'

Even though, Marquis doesn't know if those chains would affect this Middle stage, his instinct is telling him that General would end up in same way, if Sam put sufficient effort in making preparations.

”I am leaving now; I would be coming back tomorrow morning. Make sure that all your candidates are here by that time.”

General Spark left that place after that.

While General and Marquis are discussing something, somewhere in the city, which is also called the central region Sam and Watt are in the Artisan tower.

Sam came here because, with his Rank 5 Badge this place is the best for gathering the info he required very easily.

”Artisan Sam, I heard a lot about you from Chaya. It is an honour to finally meet you.”

A middle-aged man who is also a Rank 5 Artisan received him personally after he spoke to the receptionist.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Sam spoke.

”Artisan Ford, I have something to ask you. Since, you are an Architecture Artisan, you should no about the Real-Estate in the City, right?”

”Of course.”

”Since, I am new to City I don't have much knowledge on how it works in here. So, I have no choice but to trouble you. I want to buy a house in the city.”

The middle-aged man was silent for a second and said.

”Artisan Sam, since you came to me, you should know the situation of the city. The city is divided into three parts. The Outer region, where commoners live, the inner region where some what rich people live and most of the business occurs and finally the Central region, where upper class of the society lives.

And we the architecture artisans mostly work in the Central region only and some special projects. You should understand that the influence I am at, the price is pretty high.”

”We don't need to worry about the price at all, it is secondary. I want a house in the central zone and it would be better if it is near General Spark's house.”

When Ford heard this, he was dumbfounded for two reasons. First one is about price being secondary and second one is the house being General Spark's place.

'Is it a coincidence that this guy appeared just now?' This is the only thought in his mind and as if he was afraid that Sam would change his mind, he stood up and said.

”I actually have a perfect place for your choice. Please follow me.”

Sam was surprised at the response but he stood up. Watt and Sam followed Ford into his carriage and after travelling for a while they arrived at a building which has a logo Sam was completely familiar with.
