Chapter 376: Meetings (1/2)
The next day, Sam continued with this new routine. He went to beat the crap out of Arman and this time, he didn't have to order people to watch, because there are already workers who are not in the shift to watch the fight.
This what Sam wanted to achieve and it did work out well.
Arman took the beating with his clenched fists and jaws. There are some changes in his expression.
Sam guessed that he wanted to endure it for a while until he had a breakthrough. But that is not what he wanted, so he did something else.
He installed a small surveillance system in the arena so that Arman could see and hear somethings and those screens followed the activities of the workers who came to watch the show that day.
With such a great fiasco happening early in the morning, it would be weird if they don't talk about it for the rest of the day.
Arman who is trying so hard to build his will and determination crumbled again. But the effect is not as bad as Sam though. So, he did something and realized the weapon spirit in Arman's hands is the reason for that.
It is trying to encourage Arman and keeping his mind sane.
Sam started thinking about what to do with that weapon and how to deal with it.
As he was thinking and was about to go back into the divine dimension, he got the news that the officials from the Space gate association came back.
He was surprised that they came this early, even though Zeke said he would be back in three days, he didn't expect him to really come back in three days. After all, this is a big decision. He expected some reluctance as they would be going against the rules of the six major powers.
It is a bit reckless to take that decision this fast. But this also gave him some other knowledge on how much these major powers are suppressing them.
They seemed to have been pushed into a corner.
Sam went to the meeting room; there an old man is sitting beside Zeke.
When Sam came, both of them stood up. This surprised Sam a little.
He did expect some seniors to come this time, but he thought they would come to pressurize, bargain, or even try to suppress Sam.
Sam shook hands with both of them and sat down in front of them.
”Sam; I don't know where you got these techniques and blueprints from. I don't even want to know. But I do want to know something. Why are you doing this? You do know that you are going against the major powers with this.
You have an established city here, you are rich, stable, and even have great potential. Why risk everything by helping us?”
Old man directly came to the point.
Sam chuckled and asked.
”May I know your name?”
”I am Stephen.”
”Mr. Stephen. Why did you even think that I am helping you guys? I am helping myself. To be completely honest, the Space gate association doesn't have anything except the Space gates and intercontinental communication devices and at this moment, they even lost the backing of the six major powers.
I am pretty sure, that it would take a few more months if not years, for the association to gain the trust of the major powers.
To put it bluntly, you are at your most vulnerable state, you are in extreme demand for safety and stability.
I saw an opportunity there. I need Space gates and you need these arts. That's it.”
Sam didn't even bother to hide his thoughts, because he truly understood what these complacent major powers would do.
They don't know what they are doing and what kind of damage they are causing to these people.
In fact, the damage is to themselves, the Space element users are not just rare, they have many inherent advantages, if Sam really had to suppress them, he would rather bind them with some kind of contract, brainwashing, slave contracts, or any other way. But he would not stop nurturing them.
He would make them his loyal soldiers no matter what, but these major powers are stupid enough to push them to the corner.
Stephen looked at Sam and went into deep thought for a while.
He didn't expect Sam to be straightforward. But he is glad that Sam is like this. If Sam had taken the chance and said that he is helping because of something this and that and pulled all the hypocritical bullshit, he would have been disappointed.
He took a deep breath and started speaking.
”Is there any way to get all those techniques?”
”At this moment, No.”
