Chapter 241: Headache for Duke (2/2)
The Emperor cut the communication off and Duke was feeling a great headache regarding his order.
He doesn't know how Sam would react. He has yet to see his reaction on using his friends as a hostage and now they are attacking Sam's character again. If that guy goes crazy and takes it out on every citizen who is tempted by the bounty, the empire will see a greater loss of lives than war.
He is worried, but he cannot just ignore the emperor's orders, so he wanted to downplay it a bit. Nobody likes it when their character is attacked and Sam wouldn't be an exception.
Sam even trained an excellent battalion and occupied a strategic war location near the Red rock canyon. And now he is being labelled as a terrorist just because of a personal grudge.
If it was himself, he would be pissed off too but since he was loyal to the empire, he would try to prove his innocence but Sam is not like that, he can stay where ever he wants and do whatever he wants and he is extremely vengeful. So, much that it is more troublesome than poking a hornet's nest.
He will haunt them like ghosts and they don't even know how they got killed at all.
He knew that the emperor is angry but this is just adding fuel to the fire.
But there is nothing in his hands but to obey orders and do some damage control.
He walked back to the meeting room and gave out the new orders gloomily.
Meanwhile, Sam is travelling towards the northernmost forests of the southern star to catch the chinchilla.
When he visited the count city of that area which is also called the Brass county, he was thinking about something. What if his action implicated the guards and all the people who are in charge of the places he started damaging?
Although, he wouldn't be bothered with some lives that would be lost in the struggle the problem is that he is a man of his word and he wouldn't take any lives until this month is over.
So, he started thinking of a plan to see how he can not implicate these people and he found a plausible one.
He stayed for three days in the Brass county and did some research on the underground forces and finally found the Blackwater Head Quarters.
There is a secret point where one can give a mission, he disguised himself and entered the place.
”What do you want?”
The agent asked.
”You wouldn't be able to accept the mission of this scale.”
”Oh, really?” The agent was amused. ”How much do you think the mission would cost, that I wouldn't be able to process it?”
”This would be a long-lasting mission and for starters how about a billion?”
The agent was stumped. He didn't know if Sam was joking or he is for real.
”You can ask your boss to show up, and he can deal with this. If I don't make a real deal, I would die anyway, don't you think so?”
The agent nodded and said after a brief silence.
”GO to this place, he is the supervisor of all of us. He would be able to deal with that mission and if he cannot do that, I don't know who can.”
He gave Sam an address, which Sam actually knew. He only paid a visit to this place to avoid suspicions.
Sam visited the address in the evening, it is a house in the slums, and in the whole house, there is only one table and two chairs on either side of it.
Sam walked in and sat on the chair and soon a middle-aged man came out.
”I heard that you have a very big mission, May I know what is it that you want to pay that much? How many do you want to hire for this?”
”I want to hire the whole Blackwater in the Orion for a while, with a billion per month.”
The middle-aged man was shocked and then a faint killing intent started emitting from his body.
”Don't even think about killing me. If I don't go back in half-an-hour, there would be the news of Blackwater delivered to the doorstep of the Count and then in two days to the Marquis and so on.”
”Who are you?” the middle-aged man controlled his emotions and asked.
”I am someone who you probably heard off; I want to talk to your boss. I have a big mission and all the Blackwater has to do is do some publicity for me and you will get paid a Billion per month. It would be in spirit stones, herbs and minerals.
I don't think you are fit enough to make the decision, let us go and meet your boss.”
