Chapter 150: Suspending the business (1/2)

While Philip and the rest are dealing with the damage of the restaurant, Sam and the remaining candidates in the military are having a morning assembly before their departure outside.

”You guys can stay outside for the remaining day and you have to report back before dawn tomorrow. I will be your trainer for the next three days in the next fifteen days session.

One more rule you have to follow is that you have no permission to intervene in the business side of things, you can give suggestions to your teammates but you shouldn't perform any trade which will be calculated in the competition or you shouldn't help them in forms of negotiations.

The most you can do is financial help and personal suggestions and some advice.

Dismissed.”

All the candidates exited the camp.

Sam took out the communication token to contact Watt.

When he got the location of the restaurant, the trio went there as fast as they can.

By the time they got there, there are no customers. Everyone left, only his teammates and Watt are sitting there with the gloomy atmosphere.

Sam was not that surprised by the situation. He casually picked a seat and asked.

”Tell me the details on what happened since the day one.”

Watt slowly narrated everything on how, they were unable to buy or rent any shop, on how they finally bought the land in this remote location and how they built the shop and bringing back Mackey and his staff.

Sam listened to the whole situation and just showed his assent that he understood.

”Let us go back to the Estate.”

Sam said and stood up. They walked back to the estate slowly. On the way back he observed the situation of the market and how the things or going on here.

One thing, he observed is that in this city, the average person can be considered as well-to-do than poor. They can afford a considerable luxury.

He is thinking on how to use this to his advantage.

Many people might be thinking that his team might be at a disadvantage for now, but he can make sure that it is only a temporary thing.

He has enough confidence that he can turn his tables around.

All the way back, Sam could feel a gaze on him. He knew that the General put a man to keep a watch on him.

One mistake and he would be done.

The General is behaving completely beneath his title. He is using all kinds of despicable means by bending all kinds of rules.

Sam just wanted to test waters and didn't take any measures in the first fifteen days, since they are trying so desperately, he would make sure that he would win.

Since, the military general himself is making it hard for him, he would earn all the money from the military itself.

This time, Sam also dashed out one of his self-made rules and that is not making the fire-arms and explosives.

Since, he came to this world, he met so many people that he wanted to make the fire-arms many times, even though a normal gun won't be of much use, he can use the materials exclusive to this world and make it possible to make a weapon which could make some serious damage.

There are two main reasons he didn't want to create these.

First one is that, a gun is one of the inventions on earth which brought many changes to the world and he didn't want to bring that thing into this world. That thing can give someone the unfounded courage and guts which they actually don't have.

If it was landed in wrong hands, things would be disastrous. All this while, the people in this world depended on their abilities to kill and everything they had depended on their abilities to achieve. But if guns pose same level of lethality as in his previous world, things would change because the control over people's death in this world is less.

Even though, he could control the exposure of the weapon, he didn't want to take a chance. But he slowly lost the compassion to the people in this world after spending all this time and meeting these people.

The second reason is, guns are too addictive to him.

Towards Cold weapon, Sam has endless adoration and admiration along with respect. For him, all kinds of cold weapons they might be some swords, spears, claws etc. They are like true love. Using them is like having a better half.

You would be going through all kinds of tribulations with them and them being with you will give you courage and satisfaction at the same time. It is like having a wife.

But guns and explosives. They are like a mistress. Using for satisfying the carnal desires like animals, without involving many emotions and just using it for some temporary satisfaction for some specific times. There are no strings attached. He can never replace a sword's position in his heart, if he made one himself.

But guns are different. Every gun is a different kind of vixen, he likes to enjoy the satisfaction of using one and he doesn't get attached to it emotionally except if those guns are really, really special ones. But the problem is one can get addicted to the vixens and desire to enjoy the pleasure repeatedly.

If he starts shooting, he will desire to enjoy to his heart's content.
