Chapter 227: More Tattoos (1/2)

Sam's words worked like magic and soon a person raised their hand.

It is none other than Arman.

”How much?”

He asked directly.

”How much are you willing to pay?”

”Fifty million.”

Sam thought for a moment and said.

”The technique is worth much more than fifty million, but I will agree, but on one condition. I don't want the spiritual stones; I need you to pay them in form of ores from the thunder god temple. I know that the ore management wouldn't sell some ores to the outsiders, you are responsible for getting those ores worth of fifty million.

If you agree, then it is a deal.”

”Deal.” Arman didn't even hesitate before agreeing.

As Arman walked forward Sam stepped down and let him take the platform.

”Arman, stop I need this technique.”

Arthur stepped forward as he tried to stop Arman, but the latter didn't reply and just looked at Sam.

”You are responsible for stopping anyone until I get my hands on the technique.”

With those words, he sat down on the platform. But he didn't relax. Sam stopping them is a layer of defence.

If Sam agreed to help him without expecting anything in return, he would definitely suspect him, but since he is paying a price, he can at least trust him partially. As long as he conserved energy and let Sam take the heat and erode the opponent's conditions, he is confident that he can manage.

He took out his sabre and held it tightly.

Sam looked at Nicholas and gestured him to come forward.

”Fifty-fifty, how does that sound?”

Sam asked to which Nicholas replied with a thumbs up gesture.

As Nicholas moved forward, Sam took out some formation discs and placed them on the platform activating them.

Three formations activated.

This is just in case that someone sneaked past them.

If Sam just gave these formations to Arman, there is a high chance that the combined attacks of these candidates could destroy them, but now that Sam and Nicholas are here to take the most heat from the candidates, the formations should be able to help defend the rest of the stray attacks.

Sam then took out the reaper and stood beside Nicholas.

”How about a little competition? Let us see who takes down more opponents. The one who wins will get sixty percent.” Nicholas said.

”Sure.” Sam replied with a smile.

The other candidates are still lost and confused. They didn't know what to do. If they take initiative and do attack Sam, they would be completely exhausted even if they did get past him and even after that they have to face, the perfectly fine Arman and after that with that exhaustion they have defend against the remaining candidates.

At this moment, someone spoke from behind the crowd.

”Let us all make a deal.”

All the candidates turned around and looked at that person.

That person continued.

Those people are from the thunder god temple, who has no allies at all and them getting these lightning techniques is not beneficial at all.

Let us all ally together against the thunder god temple and we will defeat them together. Later the disciples from the Lightning Spear Sect and the Thunder bolt sect will take the techniques.

We will act in the same way for the next four rooms and the two sects shall pay compensation for the remaining three powers.

Are you okay with that?”

Sam raised his brows as he looked at the candidate who spoke. The interference from the palace is still there and Sam couldn't see the face of the person. But he should say that he was impressed by this guy.

He is essentially using Sam's trick of using this moment to gain something. Since, the lightning techniques are no use to them, they could either stop all others to not use them or they could choose the next best option and that is to let their allies get them.

But he doesn't have any excuse to unite all the candidates to get what he wanted and Sam's trick just helped him.

From his words, the thunder god temple doesn't have such good relationship with the rest of the powers and now that Sam made the deal with a person from the thunder god temple, he can make them common enemy and bring the rest to a common ground.

Now, his plan will work just fine.

The crowd started discussing and a person from a group shouted.

”Lightning Spear Sect agrees.” And soon another voice raised.

”Thunder Bolt Sect agrees.”

Arthur watched as the situation turned bad and his face turned ghastly pale. He didn't want to become the public enemy and he is not confident that he can defeat more than twenty people as for the teaming up with Sam, that thought never crossed his mind.
