Chapter 393: Inspection and Terminations (1/2)

After a few hours, Philip and Arc came out of the meeting room and the latter has an extremely dejected expression on his face.

Arc wanted to ask why Sam is taking such drastic measures, but he got no answers, all Philip did is to dodge questions with superficial answers.

All he could do is wait in the city.

For the following days, the city was being flooded with the tower heads from all over the empire.

At the end of the week, Sam finally came out of the tower. But he didn't look normal. His body was slumped a bit as it he was exhausted and his eyes showed his immense lack of sleep.

He did many things in the past week. He reached a bottleneck in designing the first puppet and it is in its final stage. If he can finish this last step all that left is finishing the production unit, he is building.

After he came out, he took a long nap and woke up at night.

Sam had a meal and stretched lazily.

He looked at Philip and said.

”Are all of them here?”

”Yeah.”

”Then call for a meeting now.”

Philip was stunned.

”It is the middle of the night.”

”So what? Are you worried about disturbing their rest?”

Sam replied and walked away.

Philip definitely smelled trouble. Sam is deliberately making it hard for these people.

After a few minutes, everyone has gathered in front of the dais again. But this time, Sam sat behind a table which was placed on the table and there is a stack of small booklets on it.

These booklets are the information they got from the tower and park spirits.

Philip and Jack are standing beside him. Philip is managing the booklets and Jack has a list in his hands.

”Southern Star city and all the subordinate cities under them, line up and come on to the stage one by one. Submit your reports.” Jack called out and the southern star city people shuddered.

They are the ones with the longest partnership with Sam. And the artisan tower of that city is still not involved in the project.

The three tower heads nervously walked forward and started handing over the documents one by one. Sam glanced at the documents and looked through the booklets one by one.

After tallying the data, he said.

”There is not much problem with the money, but why is the shop in the park lent to someone from the Artisan tower?”

His voice was cold befitting the night time. The three-tower heads didn't know what to say. They do have some relationship with the Artisan tower and the shop was rented to him by an alias. They thought that since Sam is high and mighty at the moment and felt like he wouldn't care about these trivial matters. But it turned out they guessed wrong.

He is as petty as ever.

”I clearly mentioned that Artisan tower of that city wouldn't be participating and we are not going to do any form of deals with them. But why was shop leased to them?” Sam asked once more and his voice turned colder.

As he spoke, Sam is already checking the documents and revenue details from the subordinate cities and the communication networks.

The tower heads didn't dare to reply.

”I am terminating the partnership between the three towers and the park. All the employees belonging to the three towers can resign if they want to stay in the three towers, they cannot work in the Park. But if they want to work in the park, they have to let go of their duties in the towers.”

Sam's words stunned everyone. They didn't expect that he would give such a harsh punishment to them just for lending a single shop.

”Sam, this is outrageous.” The formation head finally spoke.

Sam coldly looked at him and said.

”Partnership is only based on trust. You betrayed my trust by doing what I told you not to do. I didn't place many restrictions in the first place, but you cannot follow such a simple thing. Do you think I am an Idiot?”

”But this is too big of a punishment.”

”Yes. It is too harsh.” The other people below the stage started speaking.
