Chapter 282: Making a Deal (1/2)
Arc was surprised by what Sam said. What Sam said is indeed right. He needs a lot of money to recover the damage caused by the war and he also has to cover the rewards for the soldiers. Although, he rewarded the prime contributors, he still has to give rewards to other remaining soldiers.
”What do you have in mind?” Arc asked curiously.
”Black Water.” Sam's words directly stumped him. He didn't expect the method Sam said would be this.
”Black water is not a small one. Even with all the efforts I put in, I wasn't able to completely snub them off.
It is the biggest underground faction, in the western continent and the leader of that is a Transcendent. I don't know where he lives, I once battled him after I took over the regime, but he escaped.
In Arian, his influence dwindled a lot. But he escaped to Orion. If we want to deal with the Black water, just destroying the bases is not enough. I have to catch him too. But one sign of crackdown, he would escape.”
Sam smiled at Arc's words.
”Are you sure that Black water is only part of Western Continent and that too Orion?”
”Yes. Even though, there might be some traces in Arian, it is still not much they are at most some influential gang there.”
”Then, that makes things easier. From what you said, that person who is leading this behind the scenes can only be dealt by you. Do you have confidence in defeating him completely?”
”Yes.”
”Then, I have a way. All you have to do is attack all the branches of Black water at the same time.”
”How could we even possibly achieve that?” Arc couldn't believe it. ”Even though, you did have some dealings, I highly doubt that they took you to their head-quarters, at most you would have met them in a meeting point. It is not feasible.”
”You don't have to worry about that. I will give you locations of all the Black water Head Quarters in the Nine Dukedoms. All you have to do is, attack them simultaneously at the same time and make sure that you cut off their leadership.
There you would be able to get two things, one is the location of the subordinate factions and their details and the second one is the location of main headquarters. All you have to do is catch the boss and take information out of him.
Just make sure that you could bury the news completely and don't give them a chance to communicate within themselves.
The very next day, you can raid the remaining places.”
Sam said it so simply.
”What do you want in return? I don't expect you to help with this much without expecting anything in return.”
”Every Blackwater leader will have some hidden spatial ring, namely three of them. Which are put aside. In them, you can take the rings with spatial rings and materials, all I need is the third ring with these boxes.” Sam said as he took out a cube of meteorite sand.
”What is this?” Arc asked in confusion.
”It is my research material. They wanted to steal my invention at a point. Of course, they didn't know it was mine. This is the partially developed invention of mine and they distributed among themselves so that they can test it to finish it.
But they were not able to find anything. I want them back. It is my Blood and sweat after all.”
Sam lied with a straight face. If Arc doesn't know about Meteorite sand, it is all good, but if he is playing dumb, two can play this game.
”They are extremely important to me. Tell your subordinates to search every nook and cranny of their bases. And don't even think about stealing it away from me. I know the exact number of cubes that are present in their hands and I know for a reason that they are not used.
After the whole operation is over, your nine heads who will deal with the nine-dukedom headquarters should come over and hand over the things to me.
Apart from that, I have something else that I need.
A person who uses Blood Golems to attack. I want that person alive. No matter what. I want him captured and handed over. He is definitely a part of Black water and is supposedly working in the main head-quarters.
If you are okay with the conditions, we can proceed to work together.”
Sam explained his terms in a single breath.
Arc went into a deep thought. He doesn't know if he should accept this and that glass cube is another thing that arouse his interest. He doesn't know if Sam is lying about this or of what he said is really true.
After considering the Pros and Cons, he finally agreed to the arrangement and accepted the deal.
Anyway, Black water is a malignant tumor in his empire, it is best to deal with them.
Sam gave the locations of the black water bases.
