Chapter 394: Full termination (2/2)
The four tower heads are stumped. Not only did Sam draw a line between the four tower and himself, he even declared the badge of an association is worthless and, in his eyes, but they are also the ones that are bringing the badges respect.
He even called for recruitment all over the city.
Sam felt his head aching. The announcement is indeed a convenient ability, but it would take too much of his energy.
He turned around and walked inside the tower, not even bothering with the associations.
Arc finally couldn't hold it and ran towards Sam.
”We will talk inside.”
Sam said to him and led him to a meeting room.
They sat down and Arc who is already on the verge of exploding used all the patience he could muster to stay calm and said.
”Why are you doing this?”
”I was betrayed.”
”But that is only done by those four people.”
”That is why those four are the only ones killed. Otherwise, there will be a massacre.”
Arc was speechless and Sam continued.
”If there was any shred of hope and I saw more than half of the cities operating perfectly without any corruption, I wouldn't have done so. After all, suddenly recruiting so many people is also a task for me.
But more than half of the dukedoms are heavily corrupted. I gave them a share in the goldmine, but they are still being greedy over my wealth.
These people will sooner or later betray me. After all, fear can only get me so far. They are forgetting the fear. I can take enmity, I can take resentment, I can take scorn and I can take contempt. But I would never take betrayal.”
”But the associations wouldn't tolerate this.”
”Let them come. I also want to see if they will care about this one empire's partnership or all the other empires' constructions. They don't have enough time on their hands.”
Arc sighed and gulped the glass of wine that was placed on the table.
He was extremely frustrated. If he was strong enough, just like Sam said, he would have waited for them to come. He is the emperor and he is not being able to take care of his empire and had to stay fearful of everything.
Both of them didn't talk for some time.
At this moment, the association heads are in a meeting in the central continent.
Right now, they have two recording crystals on the table and they had seen both the videos.
One of them is from the week earlier. The video of the execution, the second one is the one of today, the video of today's contract termination.
The two chiefs that went to the Sam's city on that day felt that things would change on this day, so they sent someone to record the video.
When the three heads saw this, they have extremely ugly expressions.
They are already pissed when they saw the first video and this second video made he them infuriated, but the formation head suddenly chuckled and said.
”I think we are getting angry for nothing.”
The other two were puzzled.
”Old three, what do you mean?”
”Think about it, Sam cannot do anything to us. Although, he is a threat, he cannot do anything beyond that Sam's city.
He is just venting his anger after he came to know that we stole his designs. But what can he do other than this? Is the influence of the four associations, so easy to get rid of in the empires?
When people want a weapon, then come to the artisan tower, that would never change no matter what.
Just because Sam said those words, do you think anything will come out of it.
I think this is a chance for ourselves. We can just use this chance to isolate ourselves from him and construct parks in this western continent as well.
All this while, the association is already in partnership and we wanted to slowly absorb the organization.
But now, we have a chance. I think we shall establish our own organization. We will use the influence of the towers to compete against him. Sam doesn't have any other force to back him up and provide manpower, now that he terminated the contract, he will soon face troubles.”
He said these words as he grinned sinisterly.
