Chapter 209: Brewing Storm. (1/2)
After Patrick left, Sam sat down there in silence thinking about something. Philip and Jack looked at him seeing his expression.
”I have something to tell you guys.” Sam finally said after an hour.
The three others looked at him, waiting for him to complete.
”I am going to be a bigger target than you guys could imagine.”
”What do you mean?” Philip asked.
”It has something do with that guy's visit.”
”About the Park?”
”Yes.”
”But how is that a problem? I think you are overthinking it Sam. Even if they cannot get your designs, they can still use the formation and inscription towers' help. They can still figure this out. I think that is why they just placed a price that low for the designs.” Philip said.
”It is not that simple. Do you think that I would just leave the core of a project which could make me hundreds of billions in long run in open?
Do you really think, if they can figure out things that easily, they would come and ask me? Do you think if they are capable of creating that, they would really wait this long, a whole six months after I started the Park to build that?”
”What do you mean?”
”From what I can understand, they already tried to build a Park, but they failed to achieve same level of awe from that.”
”Why would that happen? Isn't it just adding some tests and challenges? No offence, your idea is good, but if there is an adequate man power and brains, I think they could replicate it.”
”That's where you are wrong, Philip. They can make a Park, I don't deny that, but they are not capable of replicating that, because there is a lot more than people can see in that park. I am a creator Philip; I won't let others replicate my creation that easily.
My design is what gives the Park the appeal and attraction it has. If they cannot replicate it the standards wouldn't meet and the people who already saw the magnificence of the Park, wouldn't be able to satisfy with a sub-par thing.
Simply, put if they cannot replicate my Park, it will not be good enough, but if they do, they will be destroying it themselves. The Park I created in a whole is a destabilized formation under which, a formation which stabilizes it is laid.
This is something that the three tower heads didn't know, so the information these people in the capital got is incomplete. They want my design and help if they want a successful park, if they don't it will be collapsed.”
Jack and Philip were stunned. They didn't think that Sam would make such a serious preparation, just so he could stop others from using it. Only Watt was not surprised, he was already brainwashed that Sam could do anything.
Sam looked at the surprised expressions and waited for the news to sink in.
Jack asked after that brief silence.
”Wouldn't it be simple, if they just make a deal with you? Just like the tower heads previously.”
”If only it was that simple.
Jack, I will tell you a story.
There was a king, who loved his wife so dearly, that he would do anything for her. He loved her more than his kingdom, his children and all the other consorts.
Due to health issues, his wife died before him and he wanted the whole world to remember her even in the death, so he hired the greatest artisans the kingdom could offer and made them build a monument as her grave with whitest of the stones.
He was mesmerized by the outcome; the monument was the best of its kind. Not many things can rival its beauty.
He gave lands, riches, titles, accolades to the artisans and thousands of workers who worked for it, but later he had a thought, 'what if the greatest monument, he gifted for his dead wife, gets surpassed?' 'What if his wife's memento will not stay as the best forever?'”
Sam paused and looked at the three who are curious and said slowly.
”He doesn't want that outcome, so he massacred the artisan and the workers, killing the people who can possibly make a much better monument than that.”
The three were shocked.
Sam continued.
”Such was the human mind, there is a storm brewing out there. The people who want to get their hands of this project doesn't want another thing similar to that emerging. That Patrick, didn't come here to buy, he was here to see the reaction.
Do you think, the big shots in the capital who are considered on the top of the food chain, will make a partnership with a teenager?
If my guess is right, the four tower heads and there might even be someone from the imperial family, already laid their eyes on this and they want this to be only in their hands. It is impossible for them to let a person who knows all the loopholes, in their system free.”
”Are you sure? Imperial family? Then they can just kill you and that would be over, even if you are capable, if you are done in by the whole empire, you wouldn't be able to resist.”
Philip said in confusion.
Sam just smiled and shook his head.
”I can't explain this, but they cannot kill me. Anyway, do you think that the imperial family will let hundreds of billions slip away? If I am left alone and start a Park in each Dukedom and also in the vicinities of the imperial capital, in two decades, I would be wealthier than the imperial family.
